Hello everybody! This is Truth-part 2
Sparrowpaw's eyes stretched wide. "It was Vipertail!"
"What?" Reedpaw and Vinepaw exclaimed in unison.
Reedpaw steped forward. "You realize you're challenging our father-and deputy- about his role in the murders of at least two cats?"
"Yes!" Sparrowpaw hissed. "But don't you see? Vipertail has gray and white fur. You yourself told me what he said about rouge cats, and how he felt about Lillyeye. Plus," Sparrowpaw added, "he's not exactly the forest's greatest father. Haven't you ever thought something might be wrong?"
She searched anxiously both her brothers' faces. "Vinepaw, it was you who wanted to figure out the mystery. Don't tell me now you regret it because our dear ole deputy may be the cause of it."
Vinepaw shuffled his paws. "Well...maybe you were right- who are we to question the dep-"
"And what are three younge apprentices doing in their dens now? It's well past sunhigh."
The deep voice of Vipertail stung the air.
Sparrowpaw whiped around to see their father staring at them. His lumonous eyes glinted in the dark. With out even realizing it, Sparrowpaw had begun to glare and bristle.
Reedpaw nudged her.
Vipertail was returning her glare. "See something pretty?" he snarled.
"No," Sparrowpaw meowed tensly, "just something worth less than fox dung." She pushed past him and practicly ran to the nursery.
"Back so soon?" Cindertail meowed.
"Uh.. yeah. My brothers and I are playing a game, that's all." She held her ear up against the brambles. "Okay, they're gone. Er- bye Cindertail." She sliped out padded straight to Minnowpelt, who was grooming herself in the shade.

Vipertail looked angrily at his sons. "Does she know something I should?"
Vinepaw shook his head. "No." Reedpaw looked at his brother admiringly. Usualy it was him who remained calm, but when he was face to face with a murderer- and deputy and father who hates you- he lost his cool.
Vipertail snorted, as if he didn't really belive that, and turned away.
Reedpaw turned to his brother. "Okay. Now what?"
"Er- we go find Sparrowpaw. Honestly, I thought she was going to attack him!"
Reedpaw gave a dry laugh. "She should have."
