I would like to thank my reviwers for all of your positive reviews. I;m happy you all like my story and hate Vipertail as much as I do.
Also, I'm trying to undate as often as possible, so keep cheacking in
((also, please know that this book will be shorter than the first one--I'm not ending it for another few chapters though, and I think you'll all like the ending.))
Vinepaw bounded forward. Sparrowpaw? Attacked? Who would do that to her? Why would anycat-
He stoped sharply. His tabby head whiped toward the leader's den. Vipertail was looknig anxious, which was surprizing as he didn't care much for any of his kits. So...maybe he didn't attack Sparrowpaw.
--------------
"No!" Sparrowpaw snapped.
Vinepaw was in the medicine cats den looking down on his sister. She had three long slashes on her side, a bloody hind paw, and smaller scratches along the rest of her body. And that was only her left side.
Robintail gave Vinepaw a small glare. "I'm going to have to ask you to leave if you keep getting her worked up."
"Sorry," he muttered as she left the den. Then he turned to Sparrowpaw. "You're sure it wasn't a rouge?"
"Yes!" She hissed. "It was Vipertail; he'd covered himself in mud to disuise his pelt and scent so I wouldn't guess it was him. But it was!" She had lowered her voice. "And he'd caught my attention on purpose...I," she hesitated, "I think he was planning on killing me, Vinepaw."
Vinepaw snorted. "But you're not a rouge."
Sparrowpaw looked him straight in the eye, and he saw her fear swimming in her own green pools. "But I know too much- and he knows I konw."
That made sence. Mouse dung!
--------------
Sparrowpaw couldn't belive it. After three days of lying in the Medicine den, she was finally allowed to leave. But that wasn't what was bothering her; the fact that the Clan were out searching for a 'rouge warrior' who attacked her was infuriating. It was Vipertail-and she and her brothers all knew it.
Once Reedpaw had heard her story, he knew it was Vipertail. Vinepaw knew it too. But they still couldn't just blurt it out...or could they? A plan was begginging to form in her head.
--------------
"Just like that?" Vinepaw sounded astonished. "You couldn't come up with a more complex plan?"
Reedpaw was nodding his head though, "No...no...I think it's perfect. It'll seem like we never ment to tell anyone; it just happened." He liked the plan's simplicity and respected the genious in it.
Sparrowpaw was beaming. "Good! Then we'll start it the next time he murders."
--------------
Unfortunatly, there had been a quarter moon past, with no activity from Vipertail. Sparrowpaw was beggining to wonder if they should just tell it straight out to the Clan. But Sparrowpaw was stubborn. She was sure he would go about his plans sooner or later.
"All cats old enough to catch their own prey, join here beneath the Highrock for a Clan meeting."
As the Clan gatherd, Hazepaw and Rushpaw sat themselves at the front of the group. Sparrowpaw bounded up to them. She touched noses with both. "Good luck, both of you. I'll be watching." Rushpaw purred, and Hazepaw shot his brother a teasing look.
Sparrowpaw padded back to her brothers and sat down.
Hawkstar jumped down from the Highrock and landed infront of the apprentices. "I call apon my warrior ansestors to look apon these apprentices. They have trained hard to learn the ways of your noble code, and I commend them to you as warriors in their turn." She nodded encouragingly to Hazepaw.
"Hazepaw, from this moment on, you will be known as Hazestripe. StarClan honor your loyalty and courage and we accept you as a full member of BrushClan."
Hazestripe respectivly licked his leader's shoulder, then steped back. Hawkstar turned to Rushpaw. "Rushpaw, from this moment on you will be known as Rushtail. StarClan honor your inteligence and your bravery and we accept you as a full warrior of BrushClan."
"Hazestripe! Rushtail! Hazestripe! Rushtail!" The Clan chanted the new warriors' names exitedly.
