Chapter 13 Shadepaw's POV
The dark gray tabby apprentice awoke suddenly in her moss nest. Her ice blue eyes shown in the darkness. Sunhigh was not yet here, but the sunrise had not come either. She sighed, and padded out of the den. Her paws ached to go back into the forest again. Shadepaw walked through the gorse tunnel only to find a cat sitting outside the camp.
"Who are you!" she growled. Her gray fur bristled as she stared at the other cat. "Keep your fur on, Kitty." He huffed back, "What are you doing out here so late, little Kitty." Shadepaw grew angry with the tom, she leap towards him, but he dodged her. "Easy, Kitty. Do you have a name." the black tom growled at her.
Annoyed she spat, "I have a name. It is Shadepaw!" The tom growled again, "I will teach you a little lesson on why you should stay in camp, shall I." This time he leaped at her, claws unsheathed. Unprepared, Shadepaw ducked just in time before the rouge could attack her. She turned around, and sprange at the tomcat. The apprentice managed to clinge onto his back.
"You stupid, Kittypet!" The tom growled. He rolled over squashing Shadepaw. Out of breath, she watched his swip at her belly. Oh the pain hurted the apprentice. She yowled in pain, but before anyone could hear her, the tom pinned her to the ground. His razor sharp teeth glinted in the moonlight. He hissing in her ear, "My name is Razor. Say hello to StarClan for me."
"No!" she yowled, but before she could attack him, he sank his teeth into her neck. Suddenly a small silver tabby cat bowled into the tom. This apprentice yowled, "You-will-not-touch-my-sister!" Her claws scratched his face. Blood oozing out of the wounds she was inflicting on him. As suddenly as the tom pinned Shadepaw, he pinned the new she-cat. Tearpaw struggled against the Razor's weight.
He also sank his teeth into her neck. Suddenly a yowl sounded close by. Razor, maddened, sank his teeth deeper into Tearpaw's neck. A yellow tabby tomcat raced into the clearing. His auburn eyes glittered in the moonlight. He saw the two apprentices. Lightstar leaped onto the tom, pulling him off of Tearpaw. He inflicted more wounds on Razor. Lightstar growled, "Leave and never come back."
He then turned to Tearpaw and Shadepaw. Shadepaw was getting up, but stumbled because of her deep wounds. Tearpaw still lay quite motionless, but her little chest rose and fell silently. Tenderly, Lightstar picked up tearpaw, and helped Shadepaw up. The three cats slowly made their way back to WinterClan's camp. Frozencloud and Stormcloud raced out of the nursery. "Lightstar, what happened?" Stormcloud called to him.
He told them that Shadepaw went walking in the forest, and that a rouge named Razor attacked her. Lightstar went on telling that the apprentice at his paws jumped into the fray, and stopped Razor from killing Shadepaw, but she nearly died, and that he had came a bit too late. Frozencloud examined the two apprentices and murmured, "They are in the paws of StarClan, especailly this apprentice." Her tail flcked towards Tearpaw.
Suddenly Stormcloud reconized Tearpaw and yowled, "Tearpaw!" Lightstar looked at Stormcloud, then to Tearpaw. He to remembered the silver tabby body of Tearpaw. His heart dropped as he remembered how she tried to save Echostar, and everyone that was trapped in the fire. Lightstar hoped that she would not die.
Both were quickly moved to the medicine cat's den. Frozencloud all ready had a warrior in there for treatment on greencough. "What next, more fire or something." she muttered to herself. She applied cobwebs onto the apprentices wounds, while Lightstar was still sitting in his den. Quickfoot came padding in, and murmured, "Lightstar, what is wrong. You have not been out of here since you came back from hunting two days ago."
"Quickfoot, I am worried that our apprentices and warriors are in danger of Razor the rogue." He said, and explained the story of Shadepaw, but left out that Tearpaw had helped. Lightstar padded out of his den and onto the Flatrock. "All cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath the Flatrock." Cats came out from every den.
Lightstar continued, "The gathering is tonight, but there is a dangerous rogue named Razor loose out there. Apprentices must go out with at least three others, and kits may never go out of this camp. Back to the gathering. Since the two apprentices in the medicine cat den need to be there, they are going. The other cats that are coming are: Quickfoot, Stormtail, Silentstorm, Duskfeather, and Dappleclaw. Lets go."
The moon rose steadily in the night's sky. Dragonstar, Froststar, and Banditstar were all ready sitting on the Great Rock. "Lets begin!" Froststar yowled, "I wil go first. We do not have any new apprentices or warriors, or kits. We have scented rogue in our territory, and lost two of our kits to him."
Banditstar howled, 'We have scented the same rogue in our territory. We have lost Warmflower, but Sapphirepelt is pregnet. That is all." Dragonstar stepped forward and growled, "We are missing Tearpaw, but she does go away some times so I am not that worried yet. We have also scented the rogue in our territory. We have also lost Morningdew to him. I am done."
Lightstar yowled loudly, "We have scented the rogue in our territory, and I have fought him. His name is Razor. He nearly killed two apprentices. Dragonstar, Tearpaw is here tonight. I found her on our territory, but she was badly wounded. Frozencloud says that she has to stay in the medicine cat's den for a couple more days and that..." "She can stay with you for right now, but in four days four of my warriors will come and get her." Dragonstar interrupted, "lets go home."
Chapter 14 is coming soon.
