Foxpaw met with Grapplelight "I am sorry for last night, Grapplelight, I wish to join the clan killers." Foxpaw looked at her paws.
Grapplelight studied Foxpaw. "Very well, but you must survive initiation. Bring forward the prisoner." The pushed forward a RiverClan cat. He wasn't young but not old either. He was pure black. Grapplelight smiled to herself. "Kill him, Foxer, then you shall join our group."
Foxpaw was stunned. "K-kill him?"
Grapplelight nodded with pleasure. "He was a spy, isn't that so Blackear?" The RiverClan cat looked at Foxpaw with confidence. His eyes said I'm gonna kill you, punk! Foxpaw glanced at Rockclaw, who nodded.
Foxpaw unsheathed her claws. Dear StarClan please understand that I must kill this cat in order to save many more lives. She thought. Then leaped at the other cat. He unsheathed his claws and swatted her out of the air. She rolled in the dust the air was knocked out of her. So he's going to fight too. I have to kill him or else... the clans might fall. We need every spy we can get. He was a spy until he was reveled. She scrambled to her paws and jumped at the larger cat. He tried to swat her away but she twisted in midair and landed on his back.
Before she could kill him he flung her off into the branches of a tree. She pulled herself onto the thin branch and waited until she had a chance to jump. But, Blackear didn't stay on the ground he scrambled onto the tree too. The branch Foxpaw was on was too thin for his weight. But he leaped at her from the a thicker branch. She was too surprised to react and he tackled her. They both fell to the ground and landed with a thud.
Foxpaw was frozen with surprise. Blackear took his chance and leaped on her pinning her down. He reached his mouth up to her throat and bit down. Blood trickled out of her wound. Blackear hesitated just a moment to kill her. That cost him his life. Foxpaw used her back legs to kick him off her.
Then she jumped onto the older cat, he pushed her off in a heartbeat. But Foxpaw was relentless. She charged him again, he swatted her aside but as she flew through the air she pulled out her legs and scratched his flank. Then skidded into the dirt. Foxpaw came running at him again but just before he swatted her aside she slid under her legs and scratched his stomach. He hissed and jumped away then he jumped at her again. She managed to scramble out of the way but he got a good scratch on her back.
But she tried again, and again, and again. Finally Blackear was panting for breath. He stumbled away from Foxpaw instead of swatting her aside. Finally she pinned him down. "I'm sorry, I am also a spy, may you hunt among StarClan." She whispered so only he could hear. She could feel his heart against her paws, it was fast, he had a heavy scent of fear on him.
Foxpaw closed her eyes and bit the back of his neck, he went limp and the heartbeat stopped. She had just killed a cat.
