Chapter 11, Hawkfrost's lies

Ravenflight turned in the darkness, behind Firestar.

The ThunderClan cats plunged down the slope and into Fourtrees, where the other Clans waited.

Ravenflight looked around as suddenly a cat passed her. It was Squirreltalon. She rushed over to a brown tom.

Ravenflight sneaked over. It was Volepaw, but Squirreltalon, apparently had seen him more then Ravenflight.

"Voletooth, I've been missing you."

"Where are the kits?" Voletooth asked.

"In the nursery. Flyingkit looks just like you!"

Voletooth smiled. Ravenflight gasped.

Voletooth rubbed the side of his head against hers. "I love you Squirreltalon."

That confirmed it. Ravenflight sat there, waves of shock passing over her. She blinked several times. Squirreltalon loved Voletooth!

There was a shriek from the Great rock. Ravenflight looked up. Firestar, Blackstar, and Tallstar sat there. And pacing in front of them was…Hawkfrost.

"Yes!" he shouted, "I'm here, and I'm leader!" an apprentice started murmuring something about ambition. Hawkstar barred his teeth in a snarl.

"Shut up, little pretty kitty!"

Blackstar paced to the edge of the rock and talked about prey and apprentices. Hawkstar stayed behind him, a smirk on his face and his eyes-deep blue- sparkled with delight.

"ThunderClan have been stealing prey from our territory, and the killed Mothwing. Firestar, I don't put any blame on you, but I believe that your deputy, Ravenflight was leading patrols into our territory!"

Ravenflight was mad at Surveillance. Well, Surveillance could play her little tricks on Ravenflight, but Ravenflight was going to play some back.

"What?" she said innocently, trying to look confused and doing a good job. "I don't believe you. I stay well in my borders."

Hawkstar looked down at her, his tail suddenly ridged.

"Oh?" he asked.

"Hey!" shouted a warrior from the crowd, "Why does Hawkstar know Ravenflight is deputy? Did something happen to Greystripe?"

Hawkstar seethed with anger, but hid it well. Firestar now stepped up.

"Yes, in an ambush with BloodClan, Greystripe was killed brutally by a warrior. Ravenflight avenged his death by killing the warrior, so she became deputy. Yes, how do you know this, Hawkstar?"

Thank you so much for lying, Firestar, Ravenflight thought.

Hawkstar went ridged, his body stiff with anger.

"I know, because when she attacked RiverClan, everyone was calling her 'deputy.'"

"Wait a moment," shouted out another cat,

"I thought you said that Ravenflight stole prey from your territory, not attack you!"

It was time to give up. Hawkstar let out a little cough. "Well, I must leave before I catch cold. This Gathering is over," he jumped off the rock, still coughing and plunged up the slope.

Ravenflight growled with anger. How dare he!

Firestar leaped off the Great rock, confusion masking his face.

"Let's go!" he barked at the Clan, then turned and charged away.

OMG HAWKFROST IS ACTING SO WEIRD!! BATTLE IN CHAPTER 13!! Review or I will track you down and feed your guts to the crows. A bit melodramatic, eh?

REVIEW!!

The lack of updates is because of the new computer we got. I have to type on my Windows, then transfer it to the new computer, a Mac, because the Windows doesn't have internet. I am very sorry.
