A.N.- I'm on a word-thingy that dosen't have a spell check so do not yell at me for my unintentional horrible spelling! Next chapter is going to be the Allegenices for the Tribes. Oh and I forgot to mention that ShadowClan is like ThunderClan was when Firestar was Firepaw. ThunderClan is like RiverClan was and RiverClan is like ShadowClan when it was under Brokentail's rule. WindClan is pretty much just like it was before, exept they are stronger and need no protection. And Palepaw is a tom, okay?
ShadowClan camp
"Now, now, Cedarheart, be reasonable. After all, it would be right to kill an innocent cat." Littlecloud meowed.
"He's right, we must know everything before accusing anyone of anything." Tawnystar replied. "Applepelt? When you picked up Stormfur and Gorgepaw's scent's at first, did it look like there was a stuggle on Gorgepaw's behalf? Tawnystar questioned.
"No, at least I don't think so." Applepelt said, thinking back. She remebered that Gorgepaw said he found a rabbit and wanted to catch it alone, she had noticed that another cat was nearby, but couldn't tell exactly who it was. When Gorgepaw didn't come back she followed his scent trail and guessed that he had been stolen away by the other cat, Stormfur. She didn't notice at first that Gorgepaw hadn't struggled, she was to busy wondering how the Clan would take the news.
The edge of ThunderClan territory
"Isn't that against the warrior code?" Silverpaw meowed, biting at the collar that still hung tightly around her neck.
"Yes, but maybe it's the will of StarClan . . ." Leafpool whispered and pressed herself against Crowstar who wouldn't stop purring.
"Crowstar! Do you want to be found in enemy territory?" Silverpaw scolded uneasily and looked around, for both ThunderClan warriors and WindClan warriors. "Crowstar, Leafpool? Do you smell that? I think it's another ThunderClan cat!" Silverpaw whispered urgently.
Leafpool paused and sniffed the air. "It's only Squirrelflight, she knows about me and Crowstar." she said as she caught another cat scent. "Uh oh, and Palepaw. She must be assesing the apprentices hunting skills."
"Mouse dung! Come on Silverpaw, we've got to hide, maybe by that patch of wild garlic?" Crowstar said. He padded quickly over to it and crouched in it. Silverpaw did the same and Palepaw came into view.
Palepaw walked over to Leafpool, who had began to wash Crowstar's scent from her fur. "Hey Leafpool! What are you doing so close to WindClan territory?" he asked.
"Looking for another suply of juiperberries." Leafpool lied quickly.
'Then why are you grooming yourself?" Palepaw said and sniffed her pelt as Squirrelflight padded over to him.
"Palepaw, your supposed to be hunting! What do you think your doing sitting here with Leafpool?" Squirrelflight scolded.
"Greeting the medicine cat, what do you think you're doing, talking to an apprentice in the middle of an assesment?" Palepaw chuckled.
"I . . . alright you got me but promise not to tell anyone?"
Palepaw ignored Squirrelflight's question and asked, "Leafpool, why is there a trace of WindClan in your fur?"
Both she-cats stiffened as they realized that Leafpool and Crowstar's secret had been discovered, or almost discovered. "What do you mean, WindClan?" Leafpool lied.
"You know! The Clan right next to this border, the Clan that lives on the moors? How can you not know who WindClan are?" Palepaw chuckled.
"Of course she knows, mouse brain!" Squirrelflight said, wondering how much the apprentice would discover just from the scent. It's a good thing he hasn't gone to a gathering yet, she thought, thanking StarClan.
"In fact, I think that a WindClan cat's been here very recently, with a . . . kittypet maybe?" Palepaw said, blowing off Squirrelflight's answer.
RiverClan camp, Mothwing's Den
"Good, when do you think Graypaw will be able to start training again?" Stoneheart said, relived that his appretice would live.
"He won't. I'm sorry Stoneheart, but he won't be able to hunt properly or fight well. I could take him as my apprentice, trust me, it'll be better to make him my apprentice rather than let him think that he's of no use to the Clan." Mothwing whispered. (A.N.- Just to let yall know, Graypaw will become a warrior, he just won't be able to feel his front right paw and tail.)
Stoneheart bit back his sadness and disappointment and asked, "Once he is able to walk and stay awake more than a few moments, may I tell him?"
"Yes, you may. But not before he can handle it okay?" Mothwing said.
"Of course." Stoneheart said and shoved his way past all the cats that had gathered around.
A.N.- I promise to update soon! Hope you enjoyed the chapter! .
