Foxtail followed Rockclaw into the leader's den. It wasn't very bright in there. The leader was called Whiskerstar (This is after Firestar and Bramblestar). Whiskerstar was all white with brown ear tips. She looked up.

"Ahhh, Rockclaw and Foxtail. Sit."

Foxtail sat down lashing her tail nervously.

Whiskerstar opened her mouth to say something. But then Foxtail sensed someone coming. Rockclaw and Whiskerstar must have sensed it too because they stared at the entrance.

Grapplelight appered. "Sorry to interrupt, but Dewpelt (The deputy) is on patrol and the cats are demanding a hunting part to be organized."

Whiskerstar nodded. "You may lead the party Grapplelight, along with, Sparrowflight, Forestclaw, Stormtail, and Aquapaw."

Grapplelight nodded and disappered. Whiskerstar focased back on Rockclaw and Foxtail.

"Why's I let her lead that part?" Whiskerstar hesitated. "Follow them, I do not trust Grapplelight alone with three other clan lovers." Whiskerstar said the last words sarcastically. "Riptide will come along with you, if anything happens he will attack. You won't attack unless necessary. Riptide knows who you are he'll understand, report back to me when you come back. Your dismissed"

Rockclaw nodded without saying a word and trotted out of the den.

"Foxtail." Whiskerstar stopped her. Foxtail turned. "Be careful, protect Rockclaw." She said it with pain in her voice. Then it dawned on Foxtail. Rockclaw and Whiskerstar liked each other! But she only nodded and padded out of the den.

She dashed along the forest silently. Riptide a bluish gray cat, with deep blue eyes was a senoir warrior, he was often trusted. They all caught up with the hunting party quickly. They weren't going at a fast speed.

Stormtail was a dark gray cat with amber eyes, he was young too. Aquapaw was Stormtail's apprentice, she was white with silver specks dotted acrossed her body. She had green eyes and was only 7 moons old. Forestclaw was light brown with amber eyes, he was an older warrior but still had a few seasons before he would become an elder.

Grapplelight lead the group over to snakerocks. "Everyone is going to split up. Meet here at sundown." She left sniffing the air for prey. Aquapaw looked at Stormtail who nodded at her.

"Don't stray far from me." He whispered. Foxtail looked at Riptide he watched Forestclaw disappear into the trees.

"You follow Forestclaw, Foxtail. Intercept Grapplelight if she goes in for the attack." Riptide said. Foxtail nodded and leaped onto a tree and jumped from tree to tree until she caught up with Forestclaw. He was moving slowly sniffing the air for prey. Foxtail nestled comfortably onto a tree branch and watched Forestclaw hunt.

It was nearly sundown when Foxtail finally saw movement. She narrowed her eyes. It was definitely a cat. She cautiously crept to the end of the branch. She saw a cat lurking in the brush. Sparrowflight. His muscles were visible under his fur. His pelt was neatly groomed. She found herself staring at him.

She shook her head and focused on Forestclaw. Sparrowflight was planning to attack. I have to distract him. She leaped out of the tree and silently came up behind Sparrowflight.

"Hey!" She said quietly.

Sparrowflight jumped and whipped around. When he saw her he scowled.

"What do you want, Foxtail?" He sneered.

"Ohh nothing really just to uh, ask you what you're doing? It's about time to...er... go back to camp."

Sparrowflight narrowed his eyes. "How do you know when I have to go back to camp?"

Foxtail was speechless for a moment. "I...er...was eavesdropping."

"Why?" he hissed.

"I was sad that the meeting ended so...I followed Grapplelight so I wouldn't get left out from the fun you two might have."

Sparrowflight looked surprised. "Listen, I don't like you. I am supposed to attack Forestclaw."

Foxtail felt a pang when he said he didn't like her but she put it aside. "Supposed?"

Sparrowflight looked behind him. "I don't like to kill cats ok! If you tell anyone I'll rip your throat out." He seemed seroius.

"So why did you join the clan killers?"

"I am tired of being bossed around! I want to be respected. Not put aside becasue I'm not the leader!"

Foxtail pretend to nod in understanding.

Sparrowflight met Foxtail's eyes.

What he said totally caught Foxtail off-guard. "I know your secret."
