Chapter 6
Rosefluff watched Ray closely as they padded back to camp. Sometimes, the fox would cast curious glances all around. Rosefluff let her. Finally, they made it, the dawn sky shone over the horizon. Rosefluff was surprised to find herself exhausted. It was expected since she had been travelling all night. She heard the sound of paw steps and sniffed the air for the scent of Intruders. But it was just the dawn patrol.
The bushes revealed Air, Tide, Pineapple and Fernclaw. At least they had followed her order of two loners and two Clan cats. The dawn patrol looked surprised to see her.
"Rosefluff, what a surprise! Who's that fox with you?" Pineapple meowed awkwardly.
"This is Ray. She's going to help us with our plan," Rosefluff meowed, her eyes narrowed to slits.
"Oh, of course. That explains it then," Pineapple meowed. Rosefluff nodded and continued walking to the camp. "That fox is tame right?"
Rosefluff turned around with a low growl. "Of course she's tame. I put her in her place. You should know that."
Pineapple nodded and Rosefluff watched as the patrol left. Ray just walked after Rosefluff, not seeming to notice what had happened. Rosefluff snarled to herself, she hated animals that did that. It especially confused her with prey. Sometimes, Rosefluff would catch a whole family of mice and leave one remaining. The next day, the miserable little mammal would exit it's little hole in the ground and go back to eating.
She swore that was all mice did. Finally, they made it to the camp. Cats looked up to greet her, but looked down again when they saw Ray. Rosefluff thought back to the horrified look on Sephiroth's face when she had killed Mousear. She shook her head to clear the memory. That was in the past, she needed to focus on the present. Rosefluff watched as cats crowded around Ray, sniffing her rudely.
Air padded up to the fox, her ears drawn back. Leafpaw growled and slowly padded up to Tidalwave and whispered something to her. A laughing look came on her face and she playfully batted Leafpaw's back. Rosefluff guessed that Leafpaw had told Tidalwave of her leader's death. Rosefluff purred to herself, even the RiverClan cats thought that she was too old to be a leader. She loved it when other cats proved her right.
Tidalwave padded up to Rosefluff, that look of amusement in her eyes. "Can I talk to you for a bit?" she meowed curiously.
"Oh, of course, we may speak in my den," Rosefluff replied calmly.
"Thank you," Tidalwave replied, following Rosefluff across the clearing. As soon as they entered the den, the amused look exited Tidalwave's face. "I want to leave the group."
Rosefluff felt like multiple cats were clawing at her heart as she heard what her friend had said. "W - Why? Is it something I did? Oh no, if it is, I'm so sorry!"
"Yes, it is something you did. You killed my leader. I - I can't continue being a part of this group if you're going to be doing that. I'm loyal to the warrior code, I'm not a - not a killer. You don't follow the warrior code at all do you?! You lied to us when you said you would forever follow the warrior code. I'm sorry, Rosefluff, but it's over," Tidalwave meowed sadly.
"Okay," Rosefluff breathed out.
"Rosefluff, there's something I've wanted to tell you for a long time. I've always had feelings for you. Not the advisor leader relationship, but something much deeper. Goodbye, Rosefluff, I hope to see you again soon," Tidalwave choked out, her eyes glazed with sadness.
Rosefluff watched her closest friend go with an aching pain in her chest. She curled in a ball and closed her eyes. This was as painful as it had been when she had been banished from the Clan.
"Rosefluff, she was the one who left the attack on the camp!" Brokenshade yowled once the battle was over.
Suddenly a thought hit her like lightning. "Of course! Brokenshade set me up! He was the one who started the attack on the camp! Of course! That sly fox!"
Rosefluff felt fiery rage and unsheathed her claws. She was going to go to the ThunderClan camp, now. She stood up and ran out of the camp, the wind blowing in her fur.
