Tigerstar's Hatred

by Mossfeathersquishy999

Ah, Tigerstar. The most feared warrior of the clans. Murderer of cats, destroyer of clans, and a disaster maker. But even Tigerstar was a small, fluffy kit before, and it is very rare that a cat is born evil. How he rose from being a kit, to a monster that could've destroyed the forest, few cats know, but this is Tigerstar's story, and he deserves to have one like any other cat.

13. Chapter 12: Punishment

UGH. So sorry I haven't updated in a while! I got sick and I still have this wretched cough! BLEH! I finally managed to type stuff... So yeah!
P.S. This is a terrible chapter... YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Chapter twelve: Punishment

"Don't you realize what a foolish, dangerous, ignorant thing you have done?"

Sunstar was speaking to Tigerpaw, who was sulkily sitting inside the leader's den. "I'll leave the punishment up to your mentor, but after that, no more fights at gatherings!"

Tigerpaw sighed. Thistleclaw shot a glare at his apprentice. " I will see to that punishment soon, Sunstar." Sunstar nodded. "Good." The bright ginger tom flicked his tail, indicating the two cats to go. Tigerpaw shuffled backwards mutely until he was outside.

"Your punishment will be for you to be confined in the camp for a quarter moon." Thistleclaw meowed sternly to his apprentice. Tigerpaw flattened his ears against his head. "You lied to me!" Tigerpaw spat. "You said that fighting was everything and tha-" Thistleclaw slapped his tail over his mouth. "Quiet!" He hissed.

"No cat must know we think that way!" He whispered. Tigerpaw stretched his eyes wide. "Huh? Why?" Thistleclaw hustled him out through the entrance as they talked. "The other cats think that they shouldn't be strong. A little like Bluefur, and her soft ways. " Tigerpaw gasped. "But they'll never be strong!"

"I know." Thistleclaw looked into the distance. "But I didn't want this strength to die. I had to pass it on. You are capable of doing great deeds. Trust your instinct. Cats say this way could be evil. They are wrong. It is the way to glory and power!" Thistleclaw stared into Tigerpaw's eyes. "You understand, don't you?"

Tigerpaw nodded. "Of course!" How could cats not want to be strong? It's all that matters to me! Thistleclaw smiled. "Good. The clans need cats like you. A pity that they can't learn from you. Other cats, unfortunately for them, wouldn't listen to your teaching. They just don't like that way of life."

Tigerpaw flexed his claws. "I have a question Thistleclaw..." Thistleclaw pricked his ears. "Yes?"

"When will I be made a warrior? I have been training for about 2 moons..." Thistleclaw rolled his eyes. "You have to train for six moons, or do something to impress Sunstar so he will think you are worthy of being a warrior!"

Do something to impress Sunstar?... Tigerpaw suddenly knew what he had to do to become a warrior, even without six moons of training. "Like, uh,what sort of thing would impress Sunstar?" Tigerpaw asked eagerly.

"Well..." Thistleclaw began. "I actually got my warrior name by saving a Thunderclan patrol by a dog... But I suppose there are more ways." Tigerpaw chewed on this bit of information for a few heartbeats. Hmmm... Were there many dog reports in these last few days?... Well, even if there was I still can't go out of camp. Ugh, stupid punishment. "There has to be some way I can become a warrior quick!" Tigerpaw muttered to himself.

"I'm going back to camp." Tigerpaw meowed as he padded away for his mentor.

I really need to think about getting my warrior name- in the camp or not!

Again, SO SORRY for this terrible chapter! DX I will try to post a way better one soon... And I hope this cough goes away! :(
