WARRIORS
OLD ERA
PART V
Silverpaw was in the "unaffected" den worrying about those who had the blackcough. Stripedstar had already lost one life and was close to losing another. He only had four lives left. Raintoes was frantically trying to cure everyone but already two tigers had dies NOT including Stripedstar's. "Silverpaw lets go hunt." Silverpaw looked up to see his mentor Sharpclaw. Before they left Bravepaw came running to them.
"Stripedstar has lost another life." Bravepaw yelped with a thickness of concern in his voice.
"What!" Sharpclaw yowled.
"But you can't go in. It's too dangerous." Bravepaw said assertively. Sharpclaw narrowed his eyes.
"Come on then Silverpaw, Bravepaw you can come with us as well, we're going hunting." Sharpclaw said nervously.
"Go on Bravepaw go after the rabbit." Sharpclaw said impatiently as Bravepaw hunched down waiting for the right time to attack. Bravepaw jumped on the rabbit and scratched with fury. He held up his new kill proudly. "Well done Bravepaw!" Bravepaw was about to thank Sharpclaw when Silverpaw came out of some bushes.
"Sharpclaw I've caught three rabbits, 2 mice, and a vole!" Silverpaw said happily as he laid down his fresh kill. Sharpclaw's eyebrows shot up with pride.
"Good job, both of you. I didn't tell you guys but this was your assessment. After Stripedstar has healed I will recommend you two for the next TigerClan warriors!" Sharpclaw said. Bravepaw and Silverpaw looked at each other excitedly. "If you guys want to stay out here you can, but I'm going back to camp." Sharpclaw said with a nod. The too-be apprentices nodded as Sharpclaw walked off.
"We should head back as well; we're to close to Leopardclan territory." Silverpaw said urgently. Before they could head off someone grabbed the two off them and they were carried off.
"Wha-What are you doing?" Bravepaw stuttered as he saw Spottedstar the Leopardclan leader licking his fur.
"What do you think? I'm cleaning my fur." Spottedstar said, irritated. "I hear from the Lionclan that your clan is planning a attack on the Leopardclan." Spottedstar blurted out.
"WHAT! WHAT KIND OF MOUSE-BRAINED IDIOT SAID THAT!" Silverpaw yelled in outrage.
"Manestar did." Spottedstar whispered coldly. Silverpaw looked down at the ground, stunned at what he had just done. "Well is it true?" Spottedstar spat.
"No it isn't. Lionclan has recently attacked our camp, but they failed. Maybe they are trying to get back at us?"
"I don't think so." Spottedstar said as his claws jutted out of his paws in an instant.
