(A/N:) I'm sorry I haven't uploaded in a while. The first two chapters kinda sucked, so hopefully, here's an awesome third chapter. TWIST. C:

Chapter Three: I'm coming too.

It was the next few sunrises later that Blizzardpaw had been hanging out with most of the other apprentices. One of them – Icepaw – was her best friend. Yes, she had, in a way, replaced Graypaw. And Ravenpaw replaced Firepaw. Except for the fact that there was a difference to the two. She liked Ravenpaw better than the orange apprentice. Most of what she got from hanging out with Sandpaw was that the ginger apprentice mildly liked Firepaw. Even if she wouldn't admit it. It was rather amusing, seeing her slight awkwardness around him. Although she hid it rather well. It looked if she had competition for Firepaw matters. Icepaw seemed to like him as well, although you could sort of tell that she liked him. Now it was Firepaw's turn to feel awkward. That was hilarious. But something was off to Blizzardpaw. You could feel tension near Tigerclaw or Ravenpaw. The air was particularly thick of it when they were near each other. Blizzardpaw wondered what in StarClan was going on. She figured it out when she saw Firepaw, Graypaw, and Ravenpaw discreetly slipped into a bush. Blizzardpaw wanted to follow them in, but she held herself back. Instead, she grabbed a piece of fresh-kill, and slowly ate it, listening to their conversation. She could hear bits and pieces of their conversation, as if they were squished together in the small space. The most horrifying whisper made her drop the blackbird's head.

"Tigerclaw killed Redtail. I saw him, he saw me, and now I think he wants to kill me."

Blizzardpaw wasn't sure what to think. Sure, Tigerclaw was sometimes edgy, but was he a murderer? Tigerclaw had told his clan that the RiverClan deputy had killed him. Was he also a liar? But still – Blizzardpaw trusted Ravenpaw. That didn't stop her from yelping aloud in horror. Suddenly Graypaw's head burst out from the bush, looking for who it had been. Once he saw it had been Blizzardpaw, he motioned for her to come in the bush. She obliged, and gulped down the rest of her blackbird. She stepped in, and whispered frantically,

"Tigerclaw killed Redtail?! He said that Riverclan's deputy did!" seeing Ravenpaw's downcast look at the ground, she added, "Not that I don't believe you, which I do, I'm just shocked that Tigerclaw did that." Blizzardpaw noticed where she was standing in the bush. She was standing next to Ravenpaw with Graypaw and Firepaw on the other side. She was standing next to Ravenpaw, their pelts brushing. Graypaw and Firepaw were on the other side, hardly touching. Blizzardpaw didn't know why she was blushing so furiously. She just hoped that the toms wouldn't see for the darkness of the bush.

"What are we going to do now?" Ravenpaw moaned, "I can't stay here, I'll get murdered along with Redtail!" Suddenly, Firepaw got an idea.

"We'll take you to the barn that's near Highstones." Blizzardpaw was confused. She didn't want Ravenpaw to leave, but if she went with him she would miss Icepaw, and wouldn't get her warrior training. She pondered a conclusion. They would stay until the truth was let out, and then go back to ThunderClan.

Blizzardpaw would have to say goodbye to Icepaw. But how would she tell her without saying what Tigerclaw had done? Blizzardpaw needed to make it clear to the toms that she was leaving too. Tigerclaw did sort of scare her, and it would be easy on her to get away for a while.

"I'm coming too," she plainly stated. The two toms on the other side looked at her like she was insane. She probably was. With one look, she saw how grateful Ravenpaw was for her company. They both knew an older cat named Barley lived there, but he knew Blizzardpaw well. Better than most. The apprentices knew they had to sneak out at night to get away from Tigerclaw.

It was around midnight, and Blizzardpaw hadn't gotten a wink of sleep. She was scared that Tigerclaw would wake in the warrior's den and catch them. When Firepaw gave the signal, she entered into a feeling of calm. The feeling felt odd, but she accepted the feeling. The four apprentices padded silently through the night, and slipped out of camp. Blizzardpaw felt better as soon as they left ThunderClan's territory and entered WindClan's. It felt odd being on the moorlands, not under cover, and no reassuring scent of undergrowth. She hoped her light-gray coat didn't shine. As they walked past WindClan camp, Blizzardpaw felt more cautious that she had on their journey through WindClan's territory than near their camp. If they got caught here, their nighttime mission would be ruined, and Tigerclaw would obviously suspect something was up. To her great relief, they passed by, without waking any cat.

At the barn, the four apprentices were practically out of breath and hungry. The smell of mice and hay was practically alluring. The mice delicious, and the hay inviting. She couldn't wait to sleep in it. Turning to Firepaw and Graypaw, she could see anxiety in their expressions. Suddenly, realization crept into her pelt, chilly as snow. What would they say to Bluestar and Tigerclaw?

"Mouse dung! We should have thought about that before we left. Well, we can't do anything about it now. We just got here, getting back would take forever," she voice all their thoughts.

"I'm sure we'll figure something out before we get there," Graypaw reassured them. After all, they did have a ways to go before they got back to camp.

"Well, I guess this is good-bye, you two. I hope Tigerclaw gets dealt with, and soon." Blizzardpaw nodded in my approval of this sincere good-bye. It was a good one. Not too sad and not too relieved. With what he was going through, she would be surprised if he wasn't. Still, no one would be relieved until he was forced out of the forest for good, or killed. Blizzardpaw and Ravenpaw watched their friends dash off in the now lightening sky. If they didn't hurry, they would get caught. No one wanted that. Well, not if they knew Ravenpaw's and Blizzardpaw's fear.
