Uh-Oh
"Lilypetal, Silentwhisper, and Wolfpaw. You will be the evening patrol. Please go now," a large brown tom meowed from his place atop a ledge. With a flick of his tail, he dismissed the meeting that had been held to make some kits into apprentices. The rest of the Clan scattered about the clearing.
A black-spotted white she-cat looked down at a smaller black tom. "Come, my apprentice. Today we will go check the ShadowClan border. Is that ok, Silentwhisper?" she mewed, glancing over at a light gray she-cat. The other cat nodded, and the patrol went on their way out of camp.
Wolfpaw bounced around happily near his mentor. He had only been an apprentice for a quarter-moon, and this was the first evening patrol he went on. Everything looks so different at night, he thought. Almost... magical.
Silentwhisper suddenly stuck her paw out in front of him. The older light gray she-cat was staring intently at a large mouse sitting a foxlength away from the patrol. Wolfpaw watched as she dropped into a crouch and moved silently forward. The mute warrior suddenly leaped forward and bit into the mouse's neck, killing it swiftly. Wolfpaw bounced up to her, purring.
"That was so cool!" he mewed. "You just walked forward and bit into it!" His adoration for the older cat showed in his amber eyes. A smile crept across Silentwhisper's face and she nodded her thanks.
Lilypetal looked at the two. "Come on, now. Wolfpaw, you're going to scare the prey away if you keep bouncing," she meowed, looking ahead of her. "ShadowClan has been trying to make their borders closer to ours lately. We need to get them to stop."
The other cats nodded and trailed after her. Wolfpaw glanced occasionally at Silentwhisper, but she was looking ahead attentively. He sighed; the she-cat was so mysterious and beautiful, but he didn't know if she loved him or not. Smiling, Wolfpaw purred inwardly, I love her, though.
A nasty scent suddenly hit his nose, and he recognized the putrid scent of ShadowClan. "This far in our territory?" he mewed in confusion. Looking at Silentwhisper and Lilypetal, he could tell they were just as angry and confused as he was.
"Get off our territory, ThunderClan filth!" an angry cat cried. Wolfpaw was startled and looked around Lilypetal to see Viperfang of ShadowClan in front of them. The young black tom was soon joined by Reedpaw, Foxsnarl, and Finchflight. If they started a border fight, they would be out numbered!
"I believe it is you on our territory, Viperfang," Lilypetal meowed calmly. Her claws unsheathed into the ground, tearing up the soft earth.
Foxsnarl slid into a crouch and snarled, "We are expanding our territory, thank you. Now, if you would so kindly get off our territory, we won't rip you to shreds." There was a look in his eye that seemed to challenge Wolfpaw to say anything.
"We won't leave!" he meowed, surprising the two ThunderClan she-cats. "This is our rightful territory, and you are going to leave!" Silentwhisper flicked her tail across his mouth before he could say more, but the ShadowClan cats were already enraged.
"ShadowClan, attack!" Viperfang hissed. Yowling broke out as both Clan patrols knocked into each other, ripping their claws in each other's pelts. Reedpaw stalked up to Wolfpaw and attacked.
The black ThunderClan tom quickly sidestepped the inexperienced ShadowClan tom. Though he had only been an apprentice for a quarter-moon, the younger orange tom had only been one for a few sunrises. Reedpaw slipped in a patch of mud, and Wolfpaw seized this short mistake by launching himself. His claws hit their mark, and he bit Reedpaw's ear, hard. The younger tom went back to his territory, whimpering.
Before he had time to recuperate, Wolfpaw heard a loud screech. He whipped around to see Lilypetal yowling and standing over a dead warrior. An icy claw gripped his heart as he recognized the pelt on the ground. It was Silentwhisper. Dead.
"This has gone beyond a border fight!" Lilypetal screamed. Her black-spotted white pelt bristled and she crouched to the ground. However, before Wolfpaw knew what was happening, Finchflight leaped forward and snapped his mentor's neck. Her eyes widened and she fell to the forest floor, dead. Blood poured out of her neck in waves as Wolfpaw stared.
"Well, well, well," hissed Foxsnarl. The three ShadowClan cats stalked forward toward the apprentice. Wolfpaw backed up, snarling yet terrified, until he was pressed up against a tree. The three corned him, and Viperfang lifted an unsheathed paw.
Uh-Oh.
Dun dun dun dun.... Now I must continue writing!!!!
