Chapter 16-Reedfur!

"Should we attack?" Brownshot looked down at the Riverclan camp from his high perch in his tree. "Yes. They'll pay." Silverfur walked up next to him, followed by Mudpaw and Sunpaw. "This is what we do. The strongest fighter is the deputy. Sunpaw, you lead him away. Then me and Silverfur will kill him. Then, we move into the clan camp by jumping down from trees. I attack Dawnstar, their leader, Mudpaw and Sunpaw, you get the kits, and Silverfur, you fight any other cat who dares attack." Brownshot mewed. The three other cats nodded, and Sunpaw ran down the tree. "This is your revenge, Silverfur." Mudpaw purred. Silverfur nodded. Then she remembered her brother... Troutclaw.. did she eant to destroy all that? "Come, Silverfur. Reedwhisker is nearing." Brownshot mewed, jumping down from the tree. Silverfur hesitated. Then she nodded as her anger slowly returned. "Kit, where are we going? I still don't recognize your clan-scent." Reedwhisker examined Sunpaw. "But there's a Riverclan cat!" Sunpaw areged, leading the deputy futhur away from camp. "Where are we-" Suddenlly, Brownshot and Silverfur attacked Reedwhisker. "Ah!" he hissed in alarm. The two otherclan cats fiished him off with a baite to the neck. "That's over with" Mudpaw walked closer to the other cats "Now lets get the camp!" "That's my girl." Brownshot smiled, stalking closer to the trees. After hidden in the branches, the four cats jumped down, all of them landing in the camp. Grasspelts fur bristled as he caught an un-firmiliar scent. Then he remembered it. "Otherclan!" he ran to Dawnstar's den. But in the den there was nothing-just blood and signs of an aggressive fight. When he came back out, the whole clan was in panic. Flowerpetal, Leafclaw, and Treefur fought bravley against Silverfur. "Why!" An injured Dawnstar looked up at Brownshot. "You hurt a clanmate. You hurt the clan." Brownshot hissed. His claws dived to her neck, but something got hit instead. Snowpaw! "You can't hurt my clan." she hissed, weakly. "Is this a joke?" Brownshot urred with amusement. But Snowpaw didn't listen. She stuck her claws into Brownshot's lungs. Gasping for air, the tom ran off, dieing in the flowing stream of water surrounding the camp. The three other cats ran away in fear.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~A few moons later, all the cats were healed. Snowpaw became Snowheart for her bravery. None of the cats seemed to notice Reedwhisker was missing until a patrol smelled a dead cat. "Oh Starclan! It's Reedwhisker!" Graymist stopped dead in his tracks. "You right, Graymist!" Blackpaw gasped "What do we do!?"
"Go... go tell the clan."
"Yes, Graymist." Blackpaw ran over a hill and was gone. Graymist sighed as he picked up his deseaced deputy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"Blackpaw! What's the matter? Where's Graymist?" Treefur looked puzzled, staring at her son. "Mom! Reedwhisker is dead!" Blackpaw relied. "What!" Salmontail was shocked. He ran to Dawnstar with Treefur hot on his tail. "What's all the panick about?" Dawnstar stood up in her sandy den. "Mom! Reedwhisker is DEAD!" Treefur whined. "Oh my... how d oyou know?" the leader's eyes went into slits. "Blackpaw and Graymist. They found his body." Salmontail replied. Then they heard the meow of cats outside. Walking out, they saw Graymist carrying a dead Reedwhisker. "Oh... he would of made a great leader some day..." Dawnstar sighed. "Hey, Dawnstar, why were you the leader? Instead of him?" Snowheart asked. "I was trained by Mistystar herself for many years. When She backed down, if you remember, Reedwhisker had only been the deputy for a while." Dawnstar replied "And he would've been the next." she walked p to her dead deputy, sharing tounges with him for a last time. Some other cats, like Hollowpaw and Grasskit, gathered around the deputys dead body, the sunlow making him look pale orange. "He would've made a good leader..." Treefur sighed. She walked into the warriors den behind Salmontail, looking back one more time before entering the hollow.
