OK guys so- this is the final chapter for a long time. School is really getting tough for me and I need to concentrate on my grades. Sorry everybody. YOOOOO LATE APRIL FOOOOOOLS HAHAHAHAAAAA Credits to Warriors Sunpaw and Birdpaw belong to me Emberpaw, Wolfpaw, and Eaglepaw belong to @RingingBells --> Story <-- Firetail sniffed. The dark forest lay behind him, in front of him, surrounding his every move. His Dark Forest mentor, a cat named Dogclaw, was assessing him. Tigerclaw had picked Dogclaw for him to train with, because he was "tough, angry, and battle-ready, just like you". Firetail thought he smelled something. A tiny scent of something. He walked towards it, into a dark clearing. The cold earth oozed over his paws, the smell of rot and slime filling his nose. But he followed the sweet, tiny scent. He looked up, to see Tigerclaw and Dogclaw sitting in front of him. Firetail sat up, abruptly. "Have I passed?" Tigerclaw blinked, and chuckled. "Almost. You just need to do one thing." "What?" Firetail felt he would do anything, anything at all, to be a true warrior, a true fighter- trained by the strongest cat spirits. "There is a traitor in your Clan!" Dogclaw cried, his voice high. "Who?" Firetail wondered. "My own apprentice," Tigerclaw growled. "She went to RiverClan to visit somebody instead of getting the patrols! Then, at the end of the battle, did she return. But, by then... Lionheart and One-eye were wounded horribly." Firetail growled. "What should I do?" Dogclaw and the deputy looked at each other, then to him. "Kill her." Firetail stepped back. He would admit, he liked Birdpaw. The little cat was so innocent and unaware. Or was she? A voice rung in the back of his head. Firetail shook his head. "I can't kill a cat." "You'd rather let her kill your clan?" Dogclaw hissed. Firetail shook his head, shuffling his paws. "Kill her soon." "I- I'll stop her. If there's a way- other than-" Firetail tried to speak, but stopped. He slammed his eyes shut and ran off into the dark, waiting to wake up. --> Part 2 (of ch. 15) <-- Eaglepaw leapt up to a low tree branch. She was nearly there. "Keep at it!" Wolfpaw shouted from below her. "Where is it?" Eaglepaw asked, looking down at her sibling. "A little higher, to your left! Wait, no, MY left, your right, sorry!" Eaglepaw hooked her claws into the bark and leapt to the next branch. That squirrel was hers. Suddenly, she heard a screech below her. Eaglepaw turned, "What-" But something grabbed her violently, twisting her off the tree forcefully. She fell backwards as the claws released her, and she gripped into the tree, harder. She turned to see a huge black bird flying off. "I thought that thing was going to drop you!" Wolfpaw cried as Eaglepaw climbed down, shaken. "Just a raven. Let's go back to camp, and tell the warriors." As the two apprentices walked back, on full alert, Eaglepaw wondered why the bird attacked her. Ravens don't eat cats, she thought, so why did it attack me? She shivered. Was StarClan trying to tell her something?
