Hey guyS!


Willowclaw squirmed uncomfortable, she unsheathed her claws her eyes narrowing as she whipped around to face who ever was staring at her. She came face to face with Lillypaw, who's now full eyes stared at her as if asking why?

Ever since that night, when Willowclaw had attacked Lillypaw the small patched apprentice had been eyeing her suspiciously. Willowclaw wondered if she had seen her kill Wildstorm. That had been almost half a moon ago, and Willowclaw was sure that in a few days Lillypaw would become medicine cat.

"Willowclaw can I ask you something?" Lillypaw mewed, her voice small and sheepish. Though the apprentice was nearly the size of a full-grown warrior.

Willowclaw nodded, her gaze softening for the apprentice. Since Lillypaw had been a kit Willowclaw had a special softness for her, one that had been for her kits.

"Yes" she answered, although she cared for Lillypaw, her voice was still cold.

"Who do you think killed Wildstorm?" Me, that's what Willowclaw thought first with a sneer on her face but she answered coolly as if she believed what she saw.

"Thunderclan" Since the Gathering, Thundeclan had been shunned by the other clans.

"Oh" Lillypaw said softly, then turned tail and left. Willowclaw curled her lip and turned. She was about to start organizing patrols when she heard pawsteps behind her. Willowclaw flattened her ears, she had heard the noisy cat from away and had recognized the cat as Adderfur. Not in the mood to argue with the tortoiseshell she-cat, Willowclaw unsheathed her claws flashing them with a sneer. Adderfur took a step back her glare wary.

"Willowclaw... When will my kits become warriors?" Adderfur asked cooly. Willowclaw was shocked by the question, but kept a calm face as she answered.

"When their mentors see its time" Willowclaw snarled, turning away from the she-cat as she went on to give patrols. The rest of the day went quickly, Willowclaw went on patrols and hunting...

She was glad to be going to her nest to sleep, but Adderfur's blue glare stopped her. She stood in the entrance of the Warriors' den, glaring at Willowclaw.

"You killed Wildstorm" Adderfur hissed.

Willowclaw felt her body tense, and her back fur rise. She stalked up to Adderfur, her lips curled into a snarl. But she didn't say anything, just flicked her tail beckoning Adderfur to follow. Adderfur snarled back, but followed.

Willowclaw felt the chilly wind of leaf-bare, as she entered the forest. Her paws sinked into the snow, and she fluffed her fur and whipped around to face Adderfur as soon as they were deep enough in the forest.

"You killed Wildstorm" Adderfur hissed again,baring her teeth. "You killed your half-sister!" Taking a step closer Adderfur snarled. Willowclaw hissed.

"Now now you wouldn't want Shadepaw added to the list would you?" Willowclaw spat, her ice glare making Adderfur take a step back. Willowclaw sneered.

"You've gone to far Willowclaw, I'm telling Sunstar" Adderfur hissed, leaping past Willowclaw.

Willowclaw snarled and hooked her paws around Adderfur's hind paw making her fall to the floor with a thump. Adderfur turned around, latching her teeth around Willowclaw's paw. Willowclaw winced and pulled back her paw, pouncing on The she-cat, she dug her claws into Adderfur's shoulders making the she-cat gasp in pain as they engaged in a fight. Willowclaw lashed her pAw, slicing Adderfur's cheek. Adderfur dug her claws into Willowclaw's back and bit down on her ear. Willowclaw outmatched Adderfur, and had the upper hand as she pinned down the tortoiseshell.

Willowclaw panted, she hung her head over Adderfur's face, A whisker's length from her muzzle.

"I don't like to things this way, Adderfur" Willowclaw hissed, her voice laced in hatred. Before Adderfur could say anything Willowclaw's claws sliced her throat.

Willowclaw's eyes glimmered as she stepped away Adderfur's glazing eyes, a silent sneer on her face. Her claws glimmered red, leaving bloody paw-prints as she made her way back to camp. Shadows shielding her from Starclan's light.

In the darkness of night, two shapes breathed in and out peacefully sleeping. A sudded song of hiss, snarls, growls and spats made one of the cats lift their heads, her ice blue eyes shining in the night. The cat stood up, her ears flattened against her skull, her gray fur almost black in the night was bristled. She prodded the cat next to her, hissing inaudible words she lashed her tail, heading towards the fight of cats.

Her paws were soft in the snow, the shadows hiding the two cats as they stalked and slimmed through the unfamiliar forest. The she-cat pricked her ears, her blue eyes narrowing into slits.

The smell of blood hit her nose with a pang, making her wrinkle her nose. Her fur bristled and she unsheathed her

claws.

Hearing a gasp and then a sneering laugh, the cat raised her pace, her wary stalk turning into a worried run.

The gray and white she-cat arrived in time to see the death sentence of a poor tortoiseshell, a white cat stood over the tortoiseshell she-cat, hissing words into her ear before she sliced her claws overt the tortoiseshell's throat.

The gray she-cat stayed back, her blue eyes blinking at the scene infront of her. But, she was smaller than the she-cat who had attacked and still she had to help so she leaped but the attacker was already gone. The grey cat jumped to the side of the dying she-cat, trying to confort her in her death bed.

"W-willo-Willowclaw" the tortoiseshell stuttered, her eyes finished to glaze and her body laid limp. The she-cat rushed over, nosing the dead she-cat and prodding her she took a step back.

"Dew... She's dead, there's nothing we can do" a voice came from behind the she-cat.

"Blue...we have to keep guard of her, until some one comes for her..." The she-cat mewed. "I will find someone, you... Guard her body"

•. •

When sunrise came, Dew and Blue were still guarding the dead body. Dew slipped from her spot next to her brother, her ice blue eyes wary and cold as she walked into the pine forest.

"Cat mint. Cat mint"

Dew pricked her ears, her body stiffened and she crouched, when suddenly a gray and white patched she-cat slipped out of a bush her muttering cut short when she saw Dew.

Dew opened her mouth to scent, how had she not noticed the she-cat? Maybe it was because her scent was masked by herbs and flowers. Dew warily eyed the she-cat, who was about her age... So around four seasons or more. The she-cat had some cat-mint in her mouth who stared at her with wide eyes. Dew closed her mouth, and realized that the she-cat held a faint scent in her that resembled the smell on the dead she-cat.

"Who are you?" The cat asked with a slight hiss. "Where do you come from? What do you want?" She finished her green eyes narrowing.

Dew scowled, and straightened up her ice blue eyes narrowing before she began to talk.


"My name is Dew. The rest you don't need to know" said the gray and white she-cat.

Lillypaw frowned, this cat looked like Willowclaw but smaller, and instead of gray stripes.. White stripes.

"I am Lillypaw" she said flatly, but less suspicious of the stranger infront of her.

"Last night me and my brother heard two cats fighting, when we got there we saw a she-cat leaving and the other one was dead" Dew mewed.

Dead? Another cat? Lillypaw's eyes widened slightly and then narrowed. "How do I know you didn't kill her?"

Dew rolled her eyes, her gray ears flattened to her skull. She looked so much like Dewk- Lillypaw shook her head to clear her mind. No this was not her childhood friend, Dewkit. She was dead.

"Because if I had killed her, then I wouldn't be telling you!" Dew snapped impatiently.

Lillypaw lashed her tail, but let her fur fall flat. 'Nice temper' she thought.

"Fine, where is she?" Lillypaw snapped back.

Dew dipped her head and flicked her tail. "Follow me" she said dryly. Lillypaw followed obidiantly even though she knew she could be getting herself in to trouble, something about this cat seemed right.

After waking for a while, and passing the Sun circle they arrived to where Dew was leading her. Next to the body of a cat which was covered slightly with snow was a blue gray Tom with white paws and a flicking tail tip.

The tom stood up, glaring warily at Lillypaw as she stood by the body, recognizing it immediately as Adderfur. She drew in a short breath, as her eyes glazed in grief.

"She had kits..." Lillypaw murmured remembering the apprentices that had probably just awaken.

Dew's eyes softened. "This is my brother Blue" she mumbled.

Lillypaw looked at the tom, he was very handsome with slick shinning fur and deep green eyes, that even though they were wary they were still kind. His sister was beautifull Aswell with light gray fur and white stripes her ice blue eyes grieving silently for the cat she had not been able to help.

"She said a name" Dew murmured.

Lillypaw's head snapped up. "What name?" She asked warily.

Dew and Blue shared a glance at her sudden interest.

"Willowclaw"
