PineClan: The Never Ending Torture

Chapter 3

Frostpetal shivered as she entered the nursery. Duskfang's amber eyes scanned the unchosen she-cats, glittering with amusement at their frightened looks.

"Well, Duskfang, take your pick," Hawkfang meowed, his amber eyes narrowing. The smoky tom looked back at Wolfstar and Hawkfang before padding down the incline to the row of she-cats. He inspected their faces, padding down the line. Suddenly, he stopped in the middle, grinning at a particular she-cat. Frostpetal's heart stopped as she saw who he was standing in front of.

It was Jayflower.

Duskfang sniffed her neck for a heartbeat. Jayflower let out a whimper, and Frostpetal stared at her frightened sister. Oh StarClan, please... not my sister. She thought. Everyone of these she-cats were her friends, but her sister meant the world to her.

Duskfang took a step backward and shook his head. Padding down the line, he grabbed another she-cat's scruff and dragged her up the incline. Frostpetal looked away as she saw Amberflower being dragged towards Hawkfang and Wolfstar.

"I've made my choice." he mewed, looking at the frightened Amberflower.

Wolfstar grinned at her dirty body, and turned to Duskfang. "Her name is no longer Amberflower, but Amberwing. Frostpetal," he meowed.

Frostpetal stopped staring at her frightened friend, and looked at Wolfstar. "Yes?"

"Take Amberwing to Mistpool and Flameshadow's den. I have a little... surprise for these queens." Wolfstar hissed to his mate, indicating for her to leave. Frostpetal nodded and supported Amberwing as she took her friend to the medicine cat den.

"What is Wolfstar going to do with the queens?" Mistpool asked from her position beside her mate, the medicine cat, Flameshadow.

Frostpetal shrugged. "I'm not sure, Mistpool. He said he had a little surprise for the unchosen queens, and sent Amberfl-I mean Amberwing and I out." she meowed. Mistpool tilted her head to the side while Flameshadow let out a growl.

"Well, you'll never know with Wolfstar. That fox-hearted fiend could be beating them for all we know," he hissed, his black-and-ginger tail lashing. Frostpetal looked at Amberwing, who looked back. Was Flameshadow the only tom in the clan that actually... hated Wolfstar, and supported queens?

Flameshadow's amber eyes scanned Frostpetal's blue eyes. "I think every cat should be treated equally. I'm a medicine cat. My purpose in PineClan is to heal, not to watch innocent she-cats die for no good reason. You and Amberwing are just another victim of Wolfstar, and I'm sorry for that. I wanted to become a medicine cat so I can take a she-cat away from the pain." Flameshadow meowed, looking at Mistpool before licking her cheek.

"Thank StarClan!" Amberwing purred. Frostpetal inhaled deeply. This was the first time that she had seen a she-cat happy in PineClan, not suffering.

Mistpool pressed against Flameshadow, before looking back at Frostpetal. "What are you going to do?" she asked her.

Frostpetal stared at her friend puzzled. "What do you mean?" she asked.

"Well, what are you going to do about Wolfstar? What are we going to do?" Mistpool asked the four cats.

Amberwing shook her head. "What she-cats have done for generations. Give birth to healthy warriors and queens. There's nothing we can do." she meowed, her head bowed.

Flameshadow sighed. "PineClan has ruined lives of many cats. Mistpool, Amberwing is right. We can't do a thing. Neither of us has had an ounce of warrior training."

"Frostpetal! Amberwing!"

Frostpetal growled as Wolfstar was calling her. "We have to go."

Frostpetal padded out of the medicine cat den with Amberwing at her side. "Yes?" she asked her mate as they drew near.

Wolfstar let out a snarl. "Into my den, Frostpetal." he ordered.

Frostpetal looked at Amberwing, who was being dragged away from her by Duskfang.

"Hey, Wolfstar!" a voice meowed. Both cats turned to see Thunderpaw bounding towards them.

"Yes, Thunderpaw?" he asked.

"Just wanted to tell you that Acornpelt needs to see you in your den, and I'm going hunting." he told Wolfstar, his green eyes flicking towards Frostpetal.

Wolfstar nodded. "Good, Thunderpaw. I need a favor of you, actually..."
