Rusty awoke in a dark place that he didn't recognize.
"Hello Rusty." A voice said from somewhere in the darkness.
"Who are you and how do you know my name!" Rusty called out getting nervous.
"You have nothing to fear. I come with a warning." The voice responded.
This didn't calm Rusty though as it made him more suspicious of the voice. The voice sounded feminine and was echoing around him.
"How do I know you aren't trying to trick me." Rusty responded quickly looking around.
"Your afraid I will betray you. Play with your emotions. Play with your pain, you have a fear of being betrayed because you have been betrayed before. Am I correct?" The voice asked.
"How do you know that!" Rusty yelled out in vain.
"Remember Mint the one who played with your emotions. She got close to you so that she could tell Bloodclan what you were planning. Until one day she tried to end you herself instead of waiting. She got you out of camp and lured you to a back alleyway where she attempted to kill you and almost succeeded. If she had stayed to make sure you were dead after she tore apart of your stomach open. But by some miracle you survived and made it back to camp where Mist managed to save you. You are now afraid that will happen again." The voice said.
"How do you know all that!" Rusty yelled feeling anger build up inside of him.
"I have been watching you for a long time." The voice stated as if it were obvious.
"You said you had a warning for me. What is this warning?" Rusty asked intrigued.
"There is a traitor in the clans hiding in plain sight. Smoke pointed out the way he was acting when you met with Bluestar for the first time. Heed my warning because he informed Bloodclan of your knowledge of when the attack would take place." The voice said before Rusty saw a bright light.
"Now Rusty it is time for you to wake up."
With that Rusty woke up in A den made of bbrambleswhere he saw a few other wounded cats but they weren't as badly wounded as Rusty was.
Rusty also noticed Wolf sitting towards the entrance looking out of the den.
Wolf turned around after hearing Rusty move around and went over to him.
"Rusty are you alright?" Wolf asked looking over him.
"I think I'm okay just in some pain." Rusty responded attempting to stand up.
"You shouldn't move too much Rusty." Wolf advised him.
"I need to make sure everyone's okay." Rusty said as he attempted to stand up this time being successful.
"Alright but lean on me I don't need you falling over and getting hurt."
"Fine." Rusty agreed reluctantly as Wolf supported Rusty ad they walked out of the den.
Rusty was temporarily blinded by the sun outside. The first thing Rusty noticed was that they were in Thunderclan's camp. Secondly he saw everyone's eyes staring at him.
Rusty saw Red start running over to him before stopping and saying.
"Rusty thank the stars your alive I thought I was gonna lose you. I should have gotten there sooner." Red said looking sorry.
"Red it's fine I'm still alive and breathing." Rusty said as he looked around.
Rusty saw Smudge next to Vince both having several noticable scratches. Rusty also noticed the she-cat he helped in the battle walking towards him.
"Thank you for saving me during the battle. I hope I can return the favor some day." The she-cat said. as she turned around.
"What's your name?" Rusty asked her.
"My name is Sandstorm." Sandstorm replied.
Rusty nodded his head as he looked around for Smoke. He saw him after awhile limping towards him.
"Hey Rusty good to see your alright." Smoke said as he neared them.
"Smoke you me Wolf and Badger need to talk."
"Shouldn't we get Smudge and Vince if it's important?" Smoke asked looking confused.
"This doesn't concern them at the moment." Rusty replied as they walked to the edge of the camp.
"Okay hopefully no one's ease dropping. So while I was unconscious I had this weird dream where it was pitch black and I only heard one voice. It said the cat that Rusty didn't trust when we first got here to meet Bluestar. Apparently he is giving information to Bloodclan so I want Badger and Wolf to take turns keeping an eye on him. If you do knock hi. out and bring him to me. I want to know what he told them."Rusty informed them. Badger and Wolf nodded as they saw Bluestar walking towards them.
"Hello Bluestar." Rusty said.
"Hello Rusty I just wanted to thank you for helping Riverclan and Us fight off Bloodclan."
"It was nothing Bluestar." Rusty responded.
"You nearly died to protect us is there anything I can do for you?" Bluestar asked.
Rusty shook his head and said. "There isn't anything right now. Just want to thank you for letting me recover here."
"It's the least we could do for helping us." Bluestar said as Rusty nodded.
A few days had passed and Rusty had nearly fully recovered. Even he was surprised at how fast his recovery was. Rusty was sitting under the high rock when he noted Badger dragging Tigerclaw towards him.
"What is the meaning of this?!" Bluestar asked while looking mad.
"Caught him talking to Bone. Of all the cats he could talk to he chose Bone he was the one he chose." Badger growled.
"Bring him with here." Rusty order badger.
Badger obeyed and dragged Tigerclaw over to Rusty.
"Sit him up." Rusty ordered by this point cats were emerging to see what the commotion. Several cats looked angry at Badger while other were confused.
"So the warning was correct. Youve been working with Bloodclan." Rusty growled.
"Like I would tell you anything rogue. You think you can interfere with clan buisness." Tigerclaw growled at Rusty.
"I have ways of making cats talk. Choose how you want to be interogated. Do you want to be blinded. Or do you want to slowly bleed out until you either tell us everything or you die a slow and painful death. Your choice." Rusty growled coldly.
Tigerclaw didn't respond but a black tabby did.
"What are you doing. Bluestar surely you arent going to allow this." The dark tabby yelled.
"Darkstripe I will let them do this as long as it is in the best interest of the clan." Bluestar said.
Rusty saw a golden she-cat forcing kits into the nursery. One looked just like Tigerclaw.
"Smoke do you have the tooth!?" Rusty asked yelling to Smoke.
"Yes Rusty I do." Smoke said as he grabbed a dog tooth.
Rusty had used dog teeth he grabbed from the collars of certain Bloodclan cats collars to interrogate cats.
Rusty forced Tigerclaws mouth open as he had Smoke put the tooth in his mouth before Rusty swiped Tigerclaw making the tooth move around painfully in his mouth. Rusty proceeded to cuff him overvthe ears to make it move around more and this obviously caused discomfort for Tigerclaw.
Rusty hit Tigerclaw over the ears which knocked a few teeth out of Tigerclaws mouth as well as the dog tooth.
"I can do this all day Tigerclaw." Rusty growled.
"You think you can break me. Ha how adorable." Tigerclaw responded growling as well but Bader had a good hold on Tigerclaw keeping him in place.
Rusty next pushed one of his claws deep inside of Tigerclaws shoulder before pulling his claw out. Tigerclaw was obviously in a lot of pain but he still wasn't breaking.
"Alright Tigerclaw We'll continue this later. Badger." Rusty signaled to Badger as he knocked out Tigerclaw.
"Wolf come with me. We have some important buisness to attend to." Rusty called for as he walked towards the exit of the camp.
Boom chapter six is conpleted be ready for the next xhapter which will include Wolf's backstory as well as some more information on Rusty's time being captured by Bloodclan. Hint this is a seperate time than the times that have already been mentioned. Well see you next time.
