Five || Murderer

Fox woke up, and walked over to the apprentices' den. She walked in and found the low part in the tree they had told her about. She walked up the tree, carefully placing her steps, until she felt a smooth part in the tree. She sat there to wait for them to get back from training.

She eventually fell asleep, and when she woke up again she heard Stripepaw padding into the den.

I can't wait to tell them! Now maybe they'll like me better because it was my brother who gave us what to do. I, that won't work! It's a mouse-brained idea. They won't like me anyways. They even forgot to ask Hopestar to let me join as a warrior apprentice.

Shadowpaw and Snowpaw entered the den and Stripepaw spoke. "Guys."

"Yeah?"

"Come with me."

He began to lead them somewhere.

This place is familiar. Fox thought.

As they walked Fox remembered where they were. "Oh, no,no,no." She muttered under her breath.

"You okay?" Shadowpaw's whisper made her jump.

"Yes…"

Mother, Badger, I'm sorry you died here, but not you, Father, you deserved to die!

As they neared Fox began to see.

Badger?

As they walked on Fox smelled familiar cats.

Mole! Rabbit! They were her father's followers who helped kill Badger, but ran when Fox attacked them.

"Scaredy-cats." She muttered.

Have they found it?

"There's someone here. " Fox warned the others.

"Why did you bring us here?" Snowpaw asked.

"I had to tell you something." Stripepaw said.

"Let's investigate what's happening!" Shadowpaw said, excited, then added, "Then you can tell us. Hold on- they say they found something- they say that their leader would have wanted them to find this. They're not an enemy clan, they're rouges. Fox, do you know them?"

"Yes…" She grumbled.

"Not good friends?"

"Nope."

"Can you see?" Stripepaw asked, and the others looked confused.

"Yes. Starclan must want me to see."

The littermates all hid in a bush to wait, but Fox began walking up to them in plain sight.

"Fox!" Stripepaw hissed.

The flea-brain! WHAT IN STARCLAN IS SHE DOING? I THOUGHT SHE SAID SHE DIDN'T LIKE THEM! Fox heard Stripepaw's thoughts.

She walked up to the two cats, a brown she and a brown tom, almost identical.

Starclan hope this works.

"What are you doing, Mole and Rabbit, are you trying to find a dead body? Specifically my father's, by any chance?" Fox laughed but stayed serious.

"Why did you kill him?" One asked, which Fox knew as Mole.

MOUSE-BRAINED SHE- wait what- BUT HOW? BUT WHY? She heard Stripepaw's thoughts.

"He was an evil Bloodclan rat! Now run or I'll kill you too! And don't you tell anyone about this or I will tell them about how you've been living with twolegs and you like it!" She snapped.

Mole and rabbit scurried off.

Fox began to hear voices in her head. Mother? Badger…? Where are you? I hear you!

And then it went black.
