Chapter 2
Rosefluff looked up at the moon. It was full. Her time to strike was now. The Clans would be at their weakest. They would not be suspecting an attack from a cat who was banised long ago. They probably even forgot about her in the time she had been banished. Which was good for her attack. They wouldn't even know who was attacking them. ThunderClan would probably recognize her. Now that she thought of it, it had only been three moons since she was banished from ThunderClan.
Rosefluff could see the terror on the ThunderClan cats' faces as soon as she arrived at the Gathering clearing. She could imagine Streakstar staring down at her in horror from the Gathering Stone with panic on his face. Rosefluff didn't want to be remembered as a vicious cat, she just wanted to have revenge against cats that had wronged her. What was wrong about that? Rosefluff couldn't believe that ThunderClan had believed the word of that rogue over her's.
The cat that she felt most betrayed by was her brother, Sephiroth. Well, not her biological brother, he had been found in the Gathering Clearing when Rosefluff had been a kit. She could still remember the day that confused kit had entered the clearing. He had looked so scared and Rosefluff had always been there for him. She had been sad and hurt when he had decided to stay with the Clans. The first Gathering she had been banished, she had arrived in the Clearing and the other Clans had been confused.
Rosefluff still had nightmares of it to this day. It only made her urge for revenge stronger. She wanted to feel Brokenshade's bones crack beneath her claws. She wanted to hear him crying out in pain and desperation. She wanted to feel the satisfaction of revenge. Then she thought of her brother watching her with horror and pleading. Rosefluff fought back the prickling guilt she began to feel as her dear brother slowly began to back away.
Rosefluff tried to fight back images of her time with Sephiroth when they had been kits. She tried to fight back images of their first days as apprentices. They had only known each other for about five sunrises and they had already been close. Their father had been Mousear, the ThunderClan deputy who Rosefluff had killed at that first and only Gathering attack. But she hadn't decided to attack because she wanted them to feel safe before she struck.
Suddenly, she heard Sephiroth's voice in her head. "Why are you doing this? The Rosefluff I knew wouldn't do this! What in the name of StarClan is wrong with you these days?! Why are you doing this to us?! I know that you're gathering cats from other Clans including from ThunderClan. I can live with that, I can make peace with that. But what you have planned with them, that's not you. You're only proving Brokenshade right."
"Shut up! I know what I'm doing, brother! Stop trying to tell me what to do! Please stop trying to tell me who I am and who I'm not!" Rosefluff yowled. She knew that voice was right though, Sephiroth would have said exactly those words. That was what made them painful. He would have said them to her if she was plotting playfully with Moonshine to steal prey from the fresh kill pile. "Think of it like that incident, brother. You said those exact words then. Please think of this like one of those moments.
Moonpaw purred as she and Rosepaw ran to the fresh kill pile to try to steal a mouse. Sephiroth had reluctantly agreed to join them. Rosepaw purred quietly as she imagined the scolding she would get from her father from this. Sephiroth was looking really insecure during this operation. That was why they had put him on watch duty. Sephiroth sat beside the fresh kill pile, his tail tip twitching nervously. It was before dawn, so he would occasionally whisper "guard" to them.
Finally, the apprentices got their prize. It was three mice and a shrew. Rosepaw heard Sephiroth following them as quietly as possible. The three of them snuck out of the camp and began down the rocky trail. They knew they could trust him because he never had betrayed the once. A sudden noise of pawsteps made the apprentices jump and hide in the bushes. They recognized the stench as ShadowClan cats.
Rosepaw was surprised to find herself instinctively growling. The other two apprentices looked at her then followed her lead. The ShadowClan cats instantly paused as soon as they heard the three growls coming from the bush. Rosepaw recognized Claystar, Redleaf, Moonfall and Frostfur from the Gathering. Frostfur whispered something to her companions and walked towards the bush. Before the three apprentices could run, Frostfur caught them.
"Just a couple of apprentices. What are they doing here?" Claystar growled, walking forward and sniffing them. "What are you three doing out here so late at night?"
"Maybe we could ask you the same thing! Filthy ShadowClan cats!" Rosepaw spar bravely. The ShadowClan cats looked instantly angry at her words. Sephiroth and Moonpaw looked at her in shock and horror. "That's right, you guys eat newts and rats because there's nothing left in your territory, you skinny necked lizard eaters!"
It looked like something snapped in the ShadowClan cats. Suddenly, Rosepaw found herself running for the camp with Moonpaw and Sephiroth behind her. Suddenly, she realized where they were leading them. With a silent signal, the three apprentices began leading the ShadowClan cats to their own territory. They crossed their territory and began leading them deep into it. They did not know where they were going, but they did not like the territory one bit.
Finally, the ShadowClan cats caught them. That was when the ShadowClan cats realized where they were. Pure fury flared in their eyes and they attacked them. Rosepaw, Moonpaw and Sephiroth screamed in fear and fled as fast as possible away from them. The sound of their heels pounding on the ground behind them terrified Rosepaw.
"You eat rats at dawn, snakes at midday and lizards at dusk!" Moonpaw shouted back at the angry ShadowClan cats.
Rosepaw and Sephiroth looked back at her like she was crazy. Then they realized what she was doing, she was blinding them with their fury. What a smart idea. It seemed to work, the ShadowClan cat's steps slowed down and they crashed into each other. The apprentices looked at each other with triumph in their eyes. That was when they realized that they had no idea where they were. Rosepaw remembered Skyfall's words.
"Leave the lizards and marshlands to ShadowClan. I would rather live in the forest!" Skyfall had meowed when Rosepaw had said that she wanted to be a ShadowClan cat and that living in the forest was dumb. Skyfall was her mentor and she always put her on the right path. Rosepaw could use her advise right now. Finally, they gave up searching for a way out and fought panic. "If you find yourself lost in another Clan's territory, don't panic."
But what made this terrifying was the fact that they had instigated the attack. They could hear the sounds of the ShadowClan cats as they calmed down. Finally they were fully calm. The apprentices still stayed on hiding, scared that they were trying to trick them. The ShadowClan cats seemed to be having a hard time finding them. Rosepaw really wanted to call them pests from her hiding spot in a dangling tree.
She really just wanted to see their response. Sephiroth seemed to see what she was thinking and he mouthed the word, "no". Rosepaw sighed with annoyance and dipped her head. He was right though, that was an idea that would get them all killed. Suddenly, there was a loud crack. Rosepaw looked up and saw that Moonpaw's branch was breaking. She clearly was trying hard not to cry out to the ShadowClan cats for help.
Finally, Moonpaw was filled with too much terror. "Help! Somebody please help me! I'm going to fall!" Moonpaw yowled, pure terror in her voice. Both apprentices glared up at her then flattened their ears as they realized how high up she was. If she fell, she could break her leg, maybe even lose it. "Help!" Moonpaw called, louder this time. The ShadowClan cats looked up at her, horror made their eyes stretch wide. "Please!"
Suddenly, the branch broke and Moonpaw fell to the ground. "No!" Sephiroth yowled. He leaped from his own branch, but he was not close enough to get even close to her. He missed her by five branches. Rosepaw tried to reach her, but she only landed on Sephiroth's branch. Knowing how unstable they were, Sephiroth leaped for another branch and caught himself with his claws. There was a faint thump from underneath the tree and they looked down to see Moonpaw covered in blood. "No, Moonpaw, please!"
Rosefluff shook her head to clear the memory of it out of her head. Right now, she needed to lead her cats to attack ThunderClan. Today was the day.
