Nightfrost is a warrior before everyone else because she is special... ?
Nightfrost padded back to camp. She had heard what Graymist had said to Smokepaw. Nightfrost was happy for Smokepaw but she also felt confused. She felt so happy and silly when she was around him. She didn't know why, of course, but it made her uncomfortable.
Does he… Nightfrost thought for a moment but then cleared the thought from her head. No, he's hated me ever since we were kits. That's impossible. He wouldn't ever like me, much less be my friend.
Nightfrost reached the entrance and padded inside the camp. Shadestar was talking to Tigertalon while Darkheart and Ashstripe were sharing tongues. Nightfrost was starving so she padded over to the fresh-kill pile and grabbed a starling. She sat down on the ground and starting digging into the starling.
"You''re eating my kind." A voice meowed. Nightfrost looked up and saw Starlingclaw staring at Nightfrost with a mock shocked look on her face.
Nightfrost purred with amusement. "Would you like to try some?" Nightfrost asked him and Starlingclaw's eyes went wide.
"But that's cannibolism!" Starlingclaw gasped and then giggled. "I suppose I will try some."
Nightfrost laughed and Starlingclaw sat down beside her. They both ate the starling, made jokes, and laughed together. Then Starlingclaw stood up.
"I have to go make dirt." Starlingclaw meowed and walked away. Nightfrost nodded and finished off the starling. Then she saw Shadestar walking towards her.
"Hello, Nightfrost." Shadestar meowed. Nightfrost heard him purring sweetly.
"Hello, Shadestar." Nightfrost meowed, hoping there was no trace of emotion in her voice. Shadestar padded a few steps towards her and Nightfrost padded a few steps back.
Shadestar kept walking towards her until he had backed her up into a dark corner of the camp where nobody could see them.
"You look very nice, Nightfrost." Shadestar meowed. Nightfrost cringed. Is he trying to flirt with me?
"Thank you, Shadestar." Nightfrost meowed. "I must be going, I want to go and congratulate Smokepaw."
"Let's forget Smokepaw." Shadestar meowed and walked towards her more.
"Leave my daughter alone, Shadestar." A voice growled. As Shadestar looked behind himself Nightfrost saw her father, Tigertalon glaring at Shadestar.
"Are you going to stop me?" Shadestar meowed maliciously.
Nightfrost shook with fear. No cat ever stood in Shadestar's way, nobody. Nightfrost was glad her father was standing up for her, but she was scared of what would happed to Tigertalon.
"Yes, I am." Tigertalon hissed. What Nightfrost saw next was all blurred because she was so scared.
Tigertalon had leapt on Shadestar, and they were rolling on the ground fighting. It was all a mixture of claws, teeth, and sticky red blood.
"Nightfrost, come with me." A cat meowed. Nightfrost couldn't tell who it was because she was so shocked at the fight between the leader and deputy. She followed the cat over towards a group of cats gathering around the fight. Nightfrost snapped out of her blurred vision and saw her mother, Darkheart staring at her.
Suddenly, some cat let out a pain-filled yowl and Nightfrost turned around. She saw Tigertalon laying on the ground with his throat ripped out. Darkheart let out a cry of sadness and rushed over to her dead mate. Shadestar was growling with fury, blood dripped from his jaws.
"Does anybody else want to cross me?" He asked loudly and the rest of the clan shook their heads. Most of them were staring in terror at Shadestar. SmokeClan had always fought a lot, but no cat had ever been killed. At least not any cat that Nightfrost had heard of.
Then a memory crossed Nightfrost's mind. She faintly remembered another kit by her side when she was a kit. It was a tiny black she-kit. Who was she? What had happened to her? Nightfrost had another faint memory. Although this time she could clearly tell what was happening. The tiny black kit was being taken out of the nursery by, Shadestar. Nightfrost, of course, couldn't see out of the nursery but what she did see was very disturbing. She saw red, sticky, blood, flowing past the nursery entrance. She heard a sad cry and a malicious laugh. She recognized both of them.
Well, that's all for this chapter. Who was the kit? Will Nightfrost find out? You'll just have to keep reading. Please review! Have a good day (or night) and keep writing!
