Foxpaw gazed around in surprise. "H-hello?" She called. On closer look the silver tuft of fur was glowing. She spotted some other pieces of fur, all different colors. She cautiously crept through the undergrowth jumping at the slightest snap of a twig. She managed to catch a old mouse that was sleeping under some leaves.
She was creeping back towards camp when a voice behind her said "Ohhh, are you going to turn them in, Foxpaw?" Foxpaw nearly leaped out of her skin with fright. Without even looking behind her she made a mad dash towards camp. But the enemy was faster. Before she knew what was happening, pain shot up her leg as she landed awkwardly from the new weight of the cat.
It wasn't Grapplelight, it was Rockclaw, a fellow ThunderClan cat, he was a dark grey, with sharpened claws. She squirmed trying to get away. But Rockclaw held her down. "Hey, don't squirm." He said. He narrowed his eyes at Foxpaw and studied her. He gazed particularly at her neck. She looked at his and saw a scar. It looked like lightening.
Foxpaw unsheathed her claws digging them into the soil. Then with all her might pulled herself forward. But Rockclaw was too heavy. He climbed onto her back using his hind legs to pin down her shoulders and his front paws to dig through her neck fur. "Get off me!" Foxpaw hissed and tried to push him off. Rockclaw stopped digging through her fur and sat down on her back.
It was a while before Rockclaw said something. "You saw Grapplelight right?" He asked in a gentler tone than before. Foxpaw gulped she couldn't look at him and was helplessly pinned to the ground by the larger cat.
"Y-yes" she said.
"What did she say to you, Foxpaw?" He asked.
Foxpaw hestitaed. "She wanted me to join her group, to destroy the clans. But you already know that you are one of them and want to kill me!"
"Yes I am one of them, being Grapplelight's kin and all, but that doesn't mean I want to destroy the clans."
"So you aren't going to kill me?"
"No, not this time, Foxpaw, I was told to come and kill you...but, I won't because I have a plan."
"So... why are you talking to me?"
"You are part of my plan"
Foxpaw squirmed, "no, no, no! I can't! I have to go tell the leader!"
"I already have told her, he said if anyone found out about Grapplelight, I tell them about my plan. I heard you got out alive so I searched for you.. here we are!"
"Will you at least get off me?!"
Rockclaw climbed off Foxpaw and explained the plan to Foxpaw, who licked her injured paw. When Rockclaw was done she gave him a look pf horror.
"YOU WANT ME TO WHAT?!" Foxpaw bellowed.
"To become a spy, like me. I know it sounds weird but it could save the clans. Just go to Grapplelight tell her you changed your mind and want to join her. Trust me I did it and it worked"
"I don't know I mean, it doesn't seem like she would want me to join her group. After I attacked her."
"She knows your a strong cat, she'll accept you."
Foxpaw looked away and after a while she said. "Did you save me from Grapplelight, Rockclaw?"
Rockclaw listened to Foxpaw tell her story. "No I didn't save you but I have a suspicion who did." He pointed his tail up to the sky at it was moonrise now and Silverpelt was out. Rockclaw grinned at Foxpaw, "StarClan seems to be on your side."
