"She's what?!" Redpaw had immediately bounded over to his 'sister-in-law' at the news.
"Missing! I don't know what happened! I saw her go out of camp, I went after her later on, thinking she went out to hunt. But when I couldn't find her anywhere, I thought maybe she..." she shut her eyes tightly, not wanting to finish.
"I'm going to find her!" Redpaw's swampy eyes were burning.
"You have to tell Pinestar you want to organize a patrol. You can't just go looking for her! You're only an apprentice," Sandfur's calm voice reminded him.
Redpaw spun around so quickly, even Sandfur looked startled.
"You're such a Leader's Kittypet!" Redpaw spat out.
There was a moment od shocked silence. There was a look of horror in Sandfur's eyes.
"Just because I follow the rules doesn't mean i'm a Leader's Kittypet," Sandfur suddenly sounded stiff.
"That's all you ever do! You only follow rules! You'd kill yourself if someone told you to, wouldn't you?!" Redpaw demanded angrily.
Sandfur opened his mouth to protest, but closed it. He got a thoughtful look on his face. Everyone around him grew a horrified and disgusted look.
"Just because your father was an army general, doesn't mean you have to do what everyone says!" Redpaw screamed.
"W-what do you mean?" Sandfur was losing hs cool.
"Don't think I don't know! I've heard him yelling at you! He was screaming at you to do stuff, and you were yelling 'yes sir' like some mindless robot!"
"How did you-"
"Me and Featherheart only live a few blocks away Sandfur. You need help, and you know it," Redpaw smirked.
"SHUT UP!!"
WHACK!
Everyone stood gaping in awe as Redpaw fell to the ground. A bruise was forming on his shoulder. Calm, rule-loving Sandfur, had punched a little kid. The whole world seemed to stop turning at that moment. Sandfur turned rigid.
"I-I n-need to lay down..."Sandfur trudged toward the den.
"Sandfur!" Featherheart followed her best friend.
The whole clan looked uneasy. A few looked as if they might cry.
"What's going on here?" Pinestar had finally came out of her den.
"Duskcloud is missing," Sparrowtail decided to leave out that whole Sandfur episode.
"It's to late to look for her now. We'll have to organize a patrol tommorow," Pinestar stared at the night sky.
Redpaw looked absolutely anger-stricken as he stomped off to the apprentice's den.
Meanwhile, a pair of menacing blue eyes stared out from across the border.
Short, I know. Sue me. I just hope it was good. Sorry if this chapter made Sandfur seem a bit MarySue-ish, even if he is a guy. If it made him seem like that, truely sorry.
