Chapter 8

Tigerpaw walked back over to Mintpaw. He was angry at Bramblepaw for arguing with him about Mintpaw.

"Hey Mintpaw." said Tigerpaw

"Hey Tigerpaw, what was that about? I just heard him scream about saying I told you so?

"It's n-nothing." he said choked with anger.

"Are you sure because-"

"No I'm fine, don't worry. Want to go hunting?

"I'd love to." Mintpaw replied.

They walked out of the bramble tunnel and over to the fallen logs where birds and mice were laying.

"Sweet," said Mintpaw. "lets catch some mice."

Suddenly Tigerpaw sensed paw steps, and a strange smell…

"Rouge!"

"Wha?" said Mintpaw before it leapt on her.

"Mintpaw!" screamed Tigerpaw as he knocked over the huge tom that was on top of her.

The rouge got up. "This is now my turf, leave now and no cat gets hurt."

Tigerpaw snarled. He jumped on the rouge an cut open his side. The cat's wound instantly started bleeding.

"Tigerpaw! I'll help!" said Mintpaw, but as she jumped on him the rouge cat cut open her belly, and was now on top of her.

"Get off her!" snarled Tigerpaw. He got his claws covered in dirt and scratched the rouges eyes. The cat hissed and ran off in defeat.

"And don't come back! Tigerpaw said, then he turned his attention to Mintpaw. "I have to get her to Darkfeather." and with that he took Mintpaw by her scruff back to camp.

- Line Break-

Tigerpaw dragged Mintpaw into the medicine den. Darkfeather looked up to Tigerpaw then at Mintpaw. When saw Mintpaw he was in shock. "What happened?"

"Me and Mintpaw got attacked by a rouge while hunting, and I have a feeling more will come." said Tigerpaw.

"What did you do to the rouge?" Darkfeather asked as he tended to Mintpaw wounds.

"I covered my claws with dirt and scratched the cats eyes, I heard that blinds cats if it gets infected."

"You are correct." said Darkfeather. "Mintpaw's wound is tended to but it may take a while to heal."

"How long?" asked Tigerpaw.

"About a half moon. I'm afraid she won't be a warrior as planned." said the medicine cat.

"What do you mean?" said Tigerpaw

"She'll be behind on he training, so her warrior ceremony will be delayed a moon."

Dun Dun Dun. Poor Mintpaw.

I wonder if the rouges will return! it's the curse of the rouges xO
