Chapter 20
Grass was watching Lava fight Nettle, when suddenly he heard a yowl followed by a screech. Foxy Roxy, who was sitting next to Grass, pricked her ears. Grass noticed Lava and Nettle had stopped play fighting and instead were looking around nervously, as if they were expecting a cat to come out behind a tree and attack them at any moment.
Roxy glanced at the kits, "Stay there!" She ordered, then looked back over her shoulder as she sprinted away, "And don't get into trouble!"
A few moments after Roxy left Nettle mewed, "I don't like being left alone. Lets follow her." Lava nodded in agreement, but Grass just shrugged.
"I guess we could." Grass mewed hesitantly, "but Roxy wouldn't be very happy about that."
The three littermates slowly began to follow Roxy's fresh scent trail. Soon, they spotted their mother's calico pelt in the undergrowth ahead of them.
Grass, heard the crackle of a leaf behind him, and realized with dismay that Roxy must have heard it too, because she spun around to face them.
"I told you to stay at the-" She began angrily, but was drown out be the sound of thundering paw steps nearing. The pounding of paws stopped suddenly, and the three kits and their mother remained silent for a few moments, not daring to move. Finally, Grass peered through the undergrowth.
A few tail lengths away lay a she-cat. Her only movements were the rising and falling of her chest. Goldenpaw. Grass realized. Above Goldenpaw stood a young brown tabby tom, staring at her with disgust. Roxy obviously recognized her as well, because she let out a small gasp.
The tom must have heard her though, because he growled, "Who's there?" Roxy glared sternly at her three kits and quietly ordered.
"Stay." She then stepped out to confront the tom.
"Who are you?" She demanded.
"Why do you care?" The tom questioned. "
I believe you hurt our friend." Roxy replied coldly.
"Your-" The brown tom began but was cut off as Roxy slashed her claws across his muzzle. The tom jumped back, surprised.
"You'll pay for that, you mange pelt!" he growled. He jumped at Roxy and jumped back before she could harm him. Roxy sprinted at him and tried to claw him again, but he dodged and bit down on her ear. Roxy ran at him again, but tripped and fell.
"You're nothing but a fat, clumsy kittypet!" The tom sneered.
Just then a voice yelled out, "Don't insult my mama!" and the tom was knocked down by Lava hitting his side.
Grass was worried that Lava couldn't take on the tom alone, so he screeched "Come on Nettle! Let's get him!" and they leaped out at the tom, surprising him yet again. While he was down, Roxy got up again and tackled him. "
What did you call me?" she meowed calmly as she pinned him down.
"Nothing," he replied nervously. "Let me go though, and I'll leave you alone." Roxy got up and the tom sprinted away. Grass sprinted after him.
"Grass! Come back!" Roxy called. But he didn't listen; he kept on running after the tom. He was surprised with what he saw. There were a lot of cats fighting! The tom must have chased Goldenpaw away from the battle! He started running back to where Roxy was, so he wouldn't be seen.
"Grass! There you are!" Roxy exclaimed. "Come. We have to get Goldenpaw to her camp."
"What happened?" Shadestar asked when she saw Goldenpaw.
"She was attacked by a brown tom." Foxy Roxy explained.
"Why?" Shadestar questioned.
"She was being chased away from the battle," Grass mewed.
"Battle!" Shadestar exclaimed. "Where? With who?"
"By the Thunderpath." Grass replied. "ShadowClan is fighting other cats."
"Pinenose!" Shadestar called. "Take Lizardtail, Sneakystep, Snowpaw, and Fuzzyface to the Thunderpath, quickly!" Shadestar started to walk back to her den, but turned and said over her shoulder, "And Roxy, come to my den. I would like to speak to you."
