Where Do I Hide? - Whitethroat

---

I couldn't believe what I saw.

Maybe I shouldn't have been over on ThunderClan territory anyway, but I was doing no harm. I felt Littlecloud shiver next to me, as we watched the dark brown tabby step from the bushes behind the tom we had known as Runningwind. We ducked in the bushes, fear gripping us as the tom walked toward the ThunderClan cat.

"Runningwind," purred the tom, his amber eyes piercing. "What are you doing so far away from camp?" I could see the glinting silver of his claws as a pack of rouges circled around him. I saw Runningwing and the she-cat that was with him - Mousefur, I believe - tense, and Runningwind pressed against her, whispering something in her ear. My eyes flew wide when I saw Tigerclaw and the rouges leap at the two cats, and I listened to the wails of terror.

Got a criminal record, I can't cross state lines
First on the bad list, and you're last on mine
Lookin for a scapegoat, long past due
Walking down the aisle, staring straight at you

Littlecloud nearly leapt out to help Runningwind, but I held him back. We couldn't take him. I watched with mixed horror and relief as Mousefur escaped, running toward the ThunderClan camp, rouges trailing her. I wondered briefly how her battle would end...and how Runningwind's would too.

The battle was over as quickly as it had begun, and I watched with a held back yowl as Tigerclaw pinned Runningwind, and without hesitation, lifted a claw and killed him.

Shudders went up and down my spine as I watched Tigerclaw watch Runningwinds final withering of life, like he was waiting for prey to die. Then, once there was no movement in Runningwind's body, simply turn and leave, his rouges behind him. After a moment, Littlecloud and me jumped out, checking Runningwind. But he was dead.

I still hear him screaming "where do I hide?"
And he asks and I say "hurry inside"

He said, she said, No she don't
Be back before morning, You know she won't
I remember that summer, like yesterday
And I remember his mother, As he was dragged away

"Littlecloud, t-that was ThunderClan's deputy!" I nearly yowled, and Littlecloud shook his head.

"Tigerclaw was exiled for trying to murder Bluestar." That thought shocked me even more. "So now he's considered a rouge. I'm heading back to ShadowClan to warn them, because he was heading this way." I nodded, watching Littlecloud race off, and checked Runningwind again, but again it proved he was gone.

"You!" came a snarl behind me, and I jumped turning around and seeing the famliar red tabby jump out at me. Without thinking, I turned and ran from Fireheart, leaping over Runningwind's body. I heard his pawsteps behind me, and I ran faster.

I knew that if I were to go through the tunnel, he would know it was there. So instead, I raced across the Thunderpath without even looking.

"Whitethroat!"

That's when I knew I made a horrible mistake.

I still hear him screaming "where do I hide?"
And he asks and I say "hurry inside"
A whole lot of memories
Yours and not mine
And he asks and I say "hurry inside"

Got a criminal record, I can't cross state lines
First on the bad list, and you're last on mine
Lookin for a scapegoat, long past due
Walking down the aisle, staring straight at you

I felt time slow down as the monster struck me, and I heard the tearing of flesh and bone, and my own scream of terror as it's paws ran me over. Darkness gripped me as I rolled and tore under the paws of the monster, until finally I lay still.

Fireheart approached. It was too late to explain myself, for I was dying, and I couldn't speak. The thought of dying terrified me, but not as much as seeing the two haunting amber eyes over Fireheart's shoulder. One last time, my eyes widened, before spiders consumed my vision and I was gone.

Fireheart..behind you...

I still hear him screaming "where do I hide?"
And he asks and I say "hurry inside"
A whole lot of memories
Yours and not mine
And he asks and I say "hurry inside"
