Untold Lies Chapter 11: A Risky Plan
Time for the plan...kind of sloppy acting...especially for "professionals" as Lilystorm said.
"What are you doing?" Arrowhead yowled as Lilystorm dragged Arrowhead to the mountainside camp. Cats were starting to gather around after hearing the struggle.
"You traitor!" She yowled as she flung him onto the rock-hard surface. Arrowhead landed on his side and gasped for air. thanks for being gentle!
Zee came out of her cave and stared at them. "What's going on?" She hissed.
Lightheart padded up to her while Thundertail and Lilystorm held Arrowhead down. "This cat is a traitor to us! I personally followed him out into the maze last night and he met up with a cat that I did not know." Zee looked at Lightheart curiously. "I know every cat that they know. This cat was not one of them that I knew."
Zee stalked up to Arrowhead and lowered her head to where they were nose to nose with each other. "What did you tell that cat?" Her breath was foul to Arrowhead and he wrinkled his nose.
"I didn't go anywhere! He's lying!" Arrowhead denied.
"He said that he saw you! Don't lie to me!" She hissed as she put her unsheathed claw on his neck.
Lilystorm put her paw on Arrowead's neck before Zee could. Zee looked at Lilystorm. "He could have bitten your paw off. He could have been expecting it." Lilystorm pointed out.
Zee growled and then turned back to Lightheart. "Kill him." She growled.
Arrowhead looked shocked and then gasped, "Alright! I'll tell you what I know! Please don't kill me!" Arrowhead begged. Zee didn't turn around, so Arrowhead began telling a fake story. "I.. I was sent by another group of cats that find you a threat. I hated the idea of infiltrating this place. I suggested that we should have left you and your cats alone but they wanted to know how strong you were. They sent a messenger to check up on me. Thats all I know...please have mercy!"
Zee waited a moment, letting all of the tension in the air get more dense to where all the cats felt it. She finally turned around and said, "Take him to Horn's cave and let him starve!" She yowled. Lilystorm grabbed Arrowhead by the scruff and half drug and half carried him to the den. Thundertail and Lightheart watched in secret satisfaction as their friend was captured. at least it worked Lightheart thought.
Lilystorm and two guards forced Arrowhead across the small path in the open cave. Arrowhead hissed as he turned to the small island of rocks. He looked down into the large dark crevices. whoever jumped or fell into them would die instantly Arrowhead thought and then he felt a shiver past through him. He continued on and made it to the rock island surrounded by endless free falls. Arrowhead explored the small and dark island looking for the other cat that he knew was here. "Hello?" Arrowhead called out. A shadow darted at him and sent Arrowhead stumbling backwards. He regained his balance before he fell off the island. He stood at on the edge as his blue eyes darted from left to right trying to find that shadow. Arrowhead charged past a boulder that was about his size. He leaned up against it as the shadow returned for round two. The shadow stood in the darkness. Only the outline of the cat was visible. "Bring it on!" Arrowhead growled as he spiked his fur, ready to fight. They charged at each other at equal speeds but Arrowhead tackled the old tom and pinned him down. Arrowhead dragged the cat into a spot where light seeped through the entrance. The old cat still had some fight in him. He tripped Arrowhead and attacked with direct precision. Pain flared in Arrowhead but no blood was spilled. Arrowhead's legs were wobbly and he could barely stand. The tom left Arrowhead laying in the small amount of light they had. "Wait! I have to know...are you Horn?" Arrowhead gasped as pain shot through his body as he tried to stand up.
"How do you know that name?" The cats voice echoed off the walls of the cave.
Arrowhead tried looking for the shadow again but only darkness was present. "Because I'm hear to help you get out of here. Rim is worried...and so am I.
The shadow reappeared but didn't come into the light. "Rim? Is she alright?" He asked. Arrowhead nodded. "Who are you? How do you know Rim?" Arrowhead didn't know how to respond. how will he take it if I tell him the truth? Arrowhead wondered. He tried getting on his paws again but couldn't. "Tell me what I want to know and I'll help you."
Arrowhead gave one last try and strained to get to his paws. He was wobbly and in pain but he managed. Arrowhead looked at the shadow. "I'm a fighter, hunter, and a friend. I am Arrowhead of Echoclan, son of Liontooth and Greyfur. I came for answers and my mother. I am your son, Liontooth."
Liontooth has heard the truth...what will happen next? To be honest, I wanted to take this into so much detail, but then I would have added stuff into the story that wouldn't have made any sense, so I decided against it.
