3rd POV
"Shadowpaw!"
Shadowpaw who was awake and grooming herself looked towards the entrance of the den to see that it was Tigerclaw who called her. She got up and walked towards him and saw that Redtail and Ravenpaw were with him.
"We are going on the Dawn patrol to sunning rocks," Tigerclaw said seeing the confused look Shadowpaw was giving them. "Also Ravenpaw will be joining us to collect herbs." Shadowpaw nodded in acknowledgment before looking around the camp one more time to see that very little cats were up at the moment. Bluestar could be seen near her den talking with Lionheart and Whitestorm. Spottedleaf can be seen grabbing a thrush from the fresh kill pile. Other than that the cats were all asleep.
Redtail started leaded the group with Tigerclaw next to him and Shadowpaw and Ravenpaw flanking up on the back. Shadowpaw made sure to remember the path for future uses and did her best to familiarize herself to the territory. They reached sunning rocks Tigerclaw told us to mark the territory which we did, but as we were about to leave we heard splashing in the water. Turning Shadowpaw made out cats swimming towards the rocks.
Tigerclaw crouched down slightly in a threatening way. Redtail, on the other hand, stood confidently and calmly waited for the cats to reach the rocks. Ravenpaw stood behind the two warriors nervous on what to do. Shadowpaw stood with a blank expression to not give away any show of threat, but she still unsheathed her claws.
The cats soon reached the rocks and with it she could see that the leading cat in the group was a bracken-colored tom. With a flick of a tail the tom ordered the group from the water to attack which they did. Shadowpaw was fighting a gray tom with battle-scarred ears, who tried to get a good swipe at her, but was unable to because of how faster she moved. Soon the tom was getting tired so Shadowpaw went to attack him, but was stopped by the leading tom who grabbed Shadowpaw's scruff and flung her away from the gray tom, who ran.
Shadowpaw got up quickly crouched down ready to leap, "Your warriors to weak to fight their own battles!" She spat in disgust. "No Thunderclan cat will harm that warrior!" Oakheart said reading himself for a battle. Shadowpaw, though confused, launched towards Oakheart but was quick to twist in the air so instead of attacking him head on she was able to get a good scratch in his shoulders. Oakheart was able to make a quick recovery and turned around, while nocking Shadowpaw down in the process, and pinned her to the ground. Digging his claws into her shoulders allowed Oakheart to make sure that the apprentice could not get from under him.
Before Oakheart could do anything else though he was flung off of Shadowpaw, allowing her to see that it was Tigerclaw who did so. Redtail pounced on Oakheart as soon as he got up, but the force of the pounce caused both of them underneath a rocky overhang. Shadowpaw couldn't see them, though she could hear them snarling. She then heard a rumbling sound, and the rock collapsed on top of them! Shadowpaw was about to go and try to help when she heard a screech from Oakheart. Shadowpaw saw his tail sticking out from under the rocks. Tigerclaw then walked back up to Shadowpaw from leaving to somewhere that she did not know.
Tigerclaw leaned down to whisper in Shadowpaw's ears, "I need you to not tell anyone about what I'm about to do." Shadowpaw just nodded still new to the clans which means she is new to the cat to so she has no idea what Tigerclaw could to. Shadowpaw watched as the enemy cats (Riverclan Shadowpaw thought) ran back into the water and away from sunning rocks. Redtail charged out of the dust his tail straight up and his fur stood on end, but he did not have a scratch on him. He ran towards Tigerclaw and Shadowpaw who were both hidden in the shadows.
Suddenly Tigerclaw grabbed Redtail and pinned him down. Redtail struggled, but couldn't break free. Tigerclaw leaned down and sank his teeth into Redtail's throat. Shadowpaw eyes widened surprised that her mentor would kill his own clan mate and the deputy too! Suddenly there was rustling in the bushes not far off from the two. At first, Shadowpaw thought that the cats of the clan woke up and came to hunt, but the noise was getting farther and farther and in the direction of the camp.
Tigerclaw looked towards the sound with narrow eyes but soon turned into calm ones. Tigerclaw turned his gaze to Shadowpaw who stiffened slightly, "As I said before you better not tell anyone what I just did. Now we better head back and tell the clan how Oakheart killed Redtail." Shadowpaw said nothing and just did as Tigerclaw said and walked with him to the camp.
