Chapter 10

*Logan's POV*

I padded after Scarletfang and Deadheart along the ShadowClan border. It was my first patrol, how exciting! The fact that it was with Scarletfang made it even better. She was so pretty, with her beautifully patterned auburn fur, and bright green eyes...

"Oof!"

I bumped into Deadheart as he stopped. "Ssh!" he hissed at me. "I can smell ShadowClan!"

"Then you've got a pretty bad nose."

I spun around to see a black tom with slicing blue eyes emerge from the bushes. Pansyfur!

"Mistystar may trust you," he hissed. "But I can see right through your disguises, Deadlox! And you, poor, poor mhurley1. The girl who was never understood, who always stood under Cinnamon, who was never appreciated for who she was, and how much power she had. And Logemaster. The little lost kitty even his so called friends never liked. You were always destined to be an outlaw."

"S-stop it!" Scarletfang demanded, stepping back.

"Oh, no," Pansyfur purred, his voice silkily calm. "I think you ought to hear what I've got to say. You all worked hard and looked up to a 'friend', but never got anything in return. Don't you want to change that? No more lies, or secrets, just truth and honest? I can give you that. All you have to do is swear your allegiances to me."

"I swear," Deadheart whispered, stepping forward. His eyes were blank, and locked with Pansyfur's.

"I swear." Scarletfang stepped forward as well, glancing back at me. "Don't you swear, too, Logemaster? You'll have real friends. We won't be looked down upon any longer."

No! I wanted to scream. Don't you see he's filling your heads with lies? Sky is Deadlox's friend! And Mhurley and Cinnamon always worked together. I always had somebody to talk to. The recruits ere nice enough. Can't they just realize this?

They all looked at me expectantly. If I lost the one person I loved, I don't know where I'd be. "I swear," I finally said, and Pansyfur let a smile play across his lips.

We headed back to camp, and I felt suddenly warm as Scarletfang pressed her nose to my ear tip. "Don't you feel better now that we know life will be better?" she asked me, and Deadheart nodded immediately.

"I won't have to help anyone but myself," he said happily. "I don't even care if nobody likes me. We're all equals now. Pansyfur said so."

Scarletfang nodded.

We entered the camp, and I watched Shamrockheart run up to meet Deadheart. "How was patrol?" she asked.

He grunted, pushing past her.

Cinnamon stared after him, hurt in her eyes. She turned to Mhurley, the girl who used to be her friend. But my love merely padded after Deadlox, sticking her nose into the air. I had no choice but to follow. Pansyfur was watching me, and if I didn't cooperate, he might shred me!

I sat down in my nest and Scarletfang lay down beside me. "Logan, I'm sorry for the way I treated you yesterday," she whispered. "I shouldn't have neglected my feelings. I love you."

She pressed her nose into my fur, and I felt warm and fuzzy all over again.

*Cinnamon's POV*

I guessed it was over. Deadheart didn't love me anymore, and he didn't want anything to do with me. Wow, he sure made that decision quickly.

Watching Pansyfur intently, I saw him pad out of camp, twitching his tail in greeting at me.

*Pansyfur's POV*

I'd done it! Now Logemaster, mhurley, and Deadlox were all on my side. They'd even started leaving their old friends behind, striking up new allegiances among eachother. The look on Cinnamon's face when Deadlox pushed past her was priceless! It was is if they'd never been together.

And since Logemaster and Mhurley loved each other now, It would be even hard to pull one of them out of my clutches!

Now, time to get Ivy141.

She was sitting by the river with Tobuscus, who was giving her a fishing lesson.

"Might I explain something to you two?" I asked, standing in front of them, trying not to be rude this time. "You see, I'd like a private word with Dovecatcher."

She nodded, and I looked her into the woods. "I've seen the way Shamrockheart treats you," I told her gently. "She doesn't seem to care about you at all. It's rude. I can stop that all. You just have to swear your allegiance to me."

Ivy looked confused. "Uh, okay, I guess," she said. "I swear. No matter what."

She wasn't at all convinced that Cinnamon hated her. But she couldn't break a promise. She was much to nice. "I'm sure Furclaw swears too," she added, glancing back at her boyfriend who was sitting by the pond, waiting.

I elt Ivy go, happiness surging through me. Yes, yes! now co cat could defy me! There were too many on my side. And soon, I would rule all of this Clan!

GreeceXCats527 is a great writer! Sometimes she writes chapters for me when I'm out of ideas. (This is Nutmeg at the end right here, by the way.) I hope you liked it!

BYE!
