"Dawnstar! treefur! Come quick!" Grasspelt ran into camp. "What is it, Grasspelt?" Dawnstar purred. "Wha.. wha?" Treefur woke up from a small nap. "Dawnstar! Graystripe's a traitor!" the tom yowled. "He's WHAT?" Treefur stood up, her fur bristling. "Well... I was on patrol, and decided to see what the twolegs could really do to a clan's camp. Then, I saw it full of cats! There was only minor damage!" he mewed. "And..." Dawnstar sought details. "I heard them talking about graystripe, so I listened, and they said 'soon he'll be back to shre what he knows'!" The tom loked more panicked then he could handle. "This is bad..." Treefur looked at the floor. She had saved Graystripes life! He had saved hers! Could she really help stop him? She sighed. It was what's best for the clan... "Grasspelt, I don't want any word of this said to any other member of the clan, okay? The matter will be taken care of by Treefur." Dawnstar mewed. "Okay..." a slightly calmer Grasspelt left the den. "What do I do?" Treefur looked at her mom. "You must kill him, Treefur. I'll tell the clan your on patrol... and you can make up a story." she loked at Treefur. "Oh... okay..." Treefur mewed. "Now, go get him." she purred. "Yes, Dawnstar." the deputy walked oiut of the sandy/rocky den, into the warriors den.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "So... why are we up before sunhigh? We usually go at sunlow." Graystripe questioned Treefur. "Oh... I just wanted to get some exersice." Treefur replied. "Well, I think-" Graystripe was cut off when treefur lunged for his throat, biting hard. "What the..." he shook her off "What're ya doing!?"
"I know your a traitor."
"Even so, you have no right to kill me!"
"Watch." Treefur lunged herself into him, scratching his soft underbelly. He fought back, but years of swimming had made Treefur's mucsles strong. "Gah! No..." graystripe slowly trailed off as Treefur ended the fight. "Sorry..." she mumbled. Then she climbed a tree and walked through the branches back to camp.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "He's what?!" Troutclaw looked shocked as Treefur told her the news. "Yes. Graystripe is dead. He thought he saw a kit, but it was a badger. he had almost gotten away when the windclan patrol came..." Treefur tried to lie. She had put the body down at the windclan border, so some evidence was laid. Cat's gathered around Dawnstar who was telling everyone, and Grasspelt decided not to get involved. "That's to bad. I know he saved your life." Salmontail licked his mate's ears affectinantly. Treefur sighed, laying her head on her paws. Her sadness was not faken, and she missed Graystrpe very much. "he's with Starclan now." she mumbled. Then she went into the warriors den and fell asleep.
