Stormstrike's POV
It had been several sunrises, since I had met Tigerstar in the Dark Forest, and my training was going well. I had learned to fight better without sight. I had closed my eyes during the training sessions, because I could open my eyes and see in the Dark Forest, but not the real world. I had also learned to use my senses better, so I could hunt better too. I was finally beginning to gain back my clanmates' respect.
I walked out of the warriors den. No one was stirring, so I assumed it wasn't dawn yet. I was feeling restless, so I decided to check the borders, while everyone was asleep. I decided to check the Mapleclan border, because they had attacked the Stormclan camp, on the day of my warrior ceremony. I reached the marshy ground, that I knew was near the Mapleclan border. I froze when I heard rustling leaves. Before I could run, six Mapleclan warriors jumped out of the shadows of the pine trees in their territory, and surrounded me. "What do we have here? A Stormclan spy?" they sneered at me. "I'm not a spy! I wasn't tired, so I decided to check the borders, because you had attacked our camp, about a quarter moon ago." I replied to their sneers. "We attacked because we were proving how strong we were. Stormclan is always trying to prove how strong they are, so we thought we might change that." They meowed to me. "Enough talk, lets have some action." Without another word I was attacked by the six Mapleclan warriors. I was pinned while they raked their claws across my flank, and scratched at my eyes. I yowled, breaking free, and I ran as fast as I could to the camp, with six Mapleclan warriors on pursuit.
I ran into camp, and heard screams of shock, as they saw that Mapleclan was attacking our camp again. I felt a tap on my shoulder, and I turned to see the medicine cat, Littleberry beckoning me with her tail. I followed her into the medicine cat den, to have my wounds treated, from the Mapleclan ambush.
I heard the six Mapleclan warriors flee from camp, and I made my way to the main clearing of the camp, and felt the warriors staring at me. I heard Featherstar pad up to me, and I turned toward him. "You leaving to patrol the borders by yourself was very unsafe, and you also led Mapleclan warriors straight to camp. For doing that I will have to punish you. You will sleep in the nursery, and will not be able to leave camp for a moon, like a kit." He stated to me, and bounded into his den.
I dragged my feet over to the nursery with my tail trailing on the ground, as I walked into the nursery, and sorted through the moss, to make a new nest for myself.
I woke up in the Dark Forest to find Tigerstar staring down at me. "Your clanmates are going to regret punishing you, when you become the greatest warrior of the clans. I can promise you that." He mewed to me. "Although it was stupid of you to lead the Mapleclan warriors straight to your camp, you will still become a great warrior of Stormclan. Now lets do some more training." He meowed. I crouched down, closing my eyes, and pounced in the direction of where I heard Tigerstar's pawsteps. I bowled him over pulling lumps of his fur out. He pinned me to the ground, but I reared up strong like a badger, and sent hime flying. "Better, now let's see that leap and twist battle move I showed you yesterday. We continued training until Tigerstar said, "Wake up! Something's happening!"
I woke up and raced into the forest, until I caught sight of Stoneclaw. His throat smelled strongly of blood, but he was still bleeding. His injuries reeked of dog, and just then Gingerfur saw me over top of Stoneclaw's bleeding body, and raced over to me bowling me over. As she reached him, he let out his last breath, and his body went still. "You killed him!" Gingerfur wailed, as she leaped at me clawing at me, and nipping at me. "Let's see what Featherstar says about this, and without a word she disappeared into the undergrowth. I felt a pang of guilt, because if I had gotten cobwebs to stop the bleeding, he might not have died. I sighed, and followed Gingerfur towards the camp.
