A/N: Welcome to the first? Second chapter? Of Rosefluff's Revenge. Let's just say the second chapter, shall we? Enjoy!
Chapter 1
Rosefluff watched the camp around her. Twistedpaw ran over to the medicine clearing and placed it in front of Pineapple, who was waiting nervously. Rosefluff frowned, Pickle, a cat from Fire's Group had been sick for days. And though, Fire's Group were supporters of Rosefluff, they always wanted their cats back by a moon. After the current day, would be the day they physically would enter the camp looking for their Groupmate. She would let them, it was their cat after all. He had the right to go home.
"Rosefluff?" a voice mewed from behind her.
Rosefluff spun around on her heels and was met face to face with Axel, the deputy of Fire's Group. "What is it, Axel?"
Axel dipped her head respectfully and meowed, "We have come to take Pickle home. Where is he?"
"Pickle has fallen ill. I'll take you to him," Rosefluff meowed, beckoning to Axel with her tail. Axel stiffened and followed her, weaving through cat after cat. She felt Axel's breath on her heels as she padded through the clearing. Finally, Rosefluff and Axel made it to the medicine clearing. "Pineapple, Axel has come to take back Pickle!"
"Could have chosen a better time, Pickle is in critical condition and I don't think he'll make it," Pineapple meowed.
"What do you mean, he won't make it?" Axel hissed.
"I mean, he might die, Axel. And I don't want that," Pineapple meowed.
Axel's fur began to bristle, her eyes blazing. Rosefluff could see the anger and grief in the deputy's eyes. Rosefluff gently placed her tail on Axel's shoulder. Axel shook it off. "I'll have to tell Fire about this, you know?"
Rosefluff nodded and watched as Axel padded out of the camp, her tail drooping. "Axel...is that you?" Pickle's croaky voice mewed.
Axel's ears pricked as she heard the voice. She ran into the den, Rosefluff not far behind. The old tom's eyes were glazed but his ears were pricked. Axel ran over to him and placed her paws on the side of his nest. Pickle looked up at Axel, his eyes tired.
"Pickle? Let's get you home," Axel mewed.
"No, I am happy to die here. You have been good to me. But this is my fate. I'll miss you all, but I don't think I would he able to make it half way to the camp," Pickle croaked.
"But at the camp we can get you some proper healing! Please, stay with us!" Axel pleaded, her eyes wide.
"No, Axel! Don't you understand, I was always meant to die here. You're a good cat, it's been nice knowing you. Just...let me go," Pickle whispered, then his eyes closed and his chest stilled.
"Pickle? Pickle! Pickle, please wake up!" Axel gasped, her eyes full of grief.
"I'm sorry, Axel. He's gone," Rosefluff mewed.
Axel let out a tiny wail and padded out of the camp, her tail dragging on the ground. Rosefluff watched the deputy with pity. She padded over to Axel and touched her tail to her shoulder. Axel turned to Rosefluff, her eyes glittering with suppressed anger. Rosefluff slowly backed away and padded back into camp. She couldn't help but feel bad for Axel. But she knew, life must go on. Her revenge on ThunderClan was still in store.
