Chapter 3: Blood shall be spilled

Blackheart was looking for Arrowtail.

"Arrowtail, Whitestar has something to tell you!" Blackheart yowled.

"Where is he?" Blackheart Mumbled.

Bluepaw looked around. Lionpaw was looking at her.

"What happened to you?" He asked. Bluepaw had tried to catch fish but only caught water.

"I uh…" Bluepaw started. She knew he was going to tease her if he told her, so she lied.

"I put my paws in a small puddle" She replied, giving a hint of worry. Lionpaw stared at her in disbelief.

"Oh, ok" Lionpaw teased. He knew she was lying…but didn't say it.

Arrowtail bounded through the forest, he knew that soon enough Blackheart would be on his tail, and maybe literally! He stopped as he sniffed around.

'Riverclan territory?' He thought in question. He had never known that Riverclan's territory stretched this far. He then heard the quiet pawsteps of Blackheart.

"Starclan, if I ever needed help, now would be a good time" He pleaded. Arrowtail sprinted into a bush, waiting for Blackheart to pass. Though he forgot, that Blackheart always smells anything! He heard Blackheart getting closer, and Starclan answered his prayer, Blackheart sprinted out of Arrowtail's view. He then heard growling as Blackheart was probably attacked by a Riverclan warrior.

Bluepaw fell asleep on her mossy bed. She had just eaten a mouse, and was tired.

Bluepaw awoke in her clan home, but with no sign of life or other cats. Bluepaw dropped down in fear. Then another cat came, padding through the bushes.

"Hello, I am Snowstar. A leader from before your time" The cat meowed gently.

"Do you know why you are here?" She asked soothing Bluepaw's fears.

"Uh…no…" Bluepaw squeaked.

"You are here because; if you do not save your clan from the terrible danger ahead…this is what will become of your home, and the five clan's forest. As told before, seek Windclan's help, he meant Windclan seeks help! Only then can Windclan help you" Snowstar meowed.

"But how can I help Windclan when I do not know where they are?" Bluepaw asked.

Everything came back to view, when she finished her sentence. Lionpaw was sleeping next to her, and Fogpaw was staring at her.

"What are you trying to do? Wake up the whole forest and Starclan too!" Fogpaw meowed. Bluepaw must have woken her up…and speaking of Starclan.

"Wha-who-feh?" Bluepaw squeaked. Fogpaw looked at Bluepaw in surprise.

"What?" Fogpaw asked, "Your brain must not be working!" Bluepaw got up.

"IT IS TOO, MOUSEDUNG" Bluepaw caterwauled. She had never insulted Fogpaw in her life! Sapplingpaw screeched and jumped up in fear. Lionpaw still lay asleep.

"What?" Fogpaw squeaked in rage, "and don't answer that!" Fogpaw ran out of the den. Shadefur was outside the den when Fogpaw ran out. Shadefur poked his head inside to see what was happening. Bluepaw was hiding in a small hole in the tree stump, which was in the center of the den. Sapplingpaw didn't know what happened so she just went back to sleep.

Arrowtail had fallen asleep outside of Riverclan's home.

He woke up unable to see anything but darkness. He looked around sniffing for other cats, but nothing was the same!

"Hello Arrowtail!" A voice boomed across the darkness, echoing everywhere.

"I am Bluepaw's father, Wolfheart," He continued.

"Where am I?" Arrowtail asked. "You are in the-----

Bluepaw woke up cramped inside the small hole. She looked around, and saw no-one. 'Hmm…' She thought. She jumped outside, and saw Whitestar over a limp body. Bluepaw froze solid as she recognized the bloody body.
