Chapter 10
Darkpaw was looking for chervil. She had found some juniper berries and buried them with a mouse. She found some chervil when she heard… rumbling?
She turned around to see – a twoleg monster, coming right for her. She was a goner; again, except this time Hawkfrost wasn't there to save her.
Or was he? She saw a tabby coming but her belly cramped again and she couldn't tell, her sight was clouded by pain.
She felt something pick her up by the scruff of her neck and pull her away. Whoever it was, they were strong. She was certain it was Hawkfrost, he had lifted her off the ground last time he saved her. She was about to rub next to her savor until she could see again. It wasn't Hawkfrost, it was Brambleclaw!
"Hey," she mewed casually as she headed to her prey stash and sniffed it carefully. She smelt no monster poison and lifted her catch.
"Great catch, way more then other cats have been bringing in." Brambleclaw meowed as they headed back to camp.
"That's sad. You've got to admit more cats are going to die." Darkpaw mewed.
That's when they heard a yowl. "Wasn't that…?"
"Shrewpaw!" Darkpaw ran to where the yowl came from.
Cinderpelt was there with the other cats, rain was streaming down from the sky, turning to blood as it touched Shrewpaw.
"I was right…" Darkpaw wanted to cry.
"Why won't StarClan help us?" Darkpaw heard a cat call. She knew it was either Dustpelt or Ferncloud considering Shrewpaw was their kit.
She saw Cody and Birchkit come out of the camp and Darkpaw sighed. It was a good thing she had given Cody the poppy seeds that day.
"I just hope Blackstar and Leapordstar agree to let us leave together – soon." Brambleclaw said.
