Icehearts tragedy

True self

I wanted to follow them but I didn't want to feel like a stalker. But I just needed to know what was going on. I had a gut feeling that Amberclaw may be in trouble. I then began to walk out of the camp tunnel to follow them and see where they were going. I had left camp and saw Viperfang and Amberclaw heading towards snake rocks. I padded over to a nearby tree , and sat by it to watch what was happening. They were walking faster and I couldn't see them too well, so I quickly but quietly went over to a nearby bush and stayed there. The leaves were brushing against my fur making a bit of noise, and Viper fang had quickly turned around. He stared for a bit then continued walking. He was walking faster this time though. They had finally gotten to snake rocks, then I came behind and watched. I crouched down seeing Viper fang un sheathe his claws. They were very long, and I heard him growling, I then listened in "You better stay away from the clan. You stole everything from me. I should have become deputy. Spotted star likes me so much better than you." Viper fang said while his teeth baring at her.

" I can't just leave the clan! Where else will I go?" Amber claw said while shuffling her paws around, and shaking. "Well if you don't figure it out I will for you!" Viper fang said while leaping forward at Amber claw. He swatted at her neck but she quickly scrambled to her paws. " What is wrong with you, Viper fang!" I said while appearing out from the bushes. Amber claws shoulder was bleeding from a deep wound Viper fang had given her. Viper fang had gotten startled and then quickly backed away from Amber claw. His neck fur bristled, and he then started to defend himself. " She attacked me first! I didn't do anything!" " I saw everything, Viper fang." I said while looking at Amber claws wound. I then signaled my tail for us to run. We then started running from the scene, and then we turned behind us and saw that Viper fang was following a few tail lengths away. My heart was racing. I felt so scared, and seeing Viper fang so close behind trying to murder us, didn't make me feel much better. We dashed through the entrance and ran into the camp. I was panting as we entered the camp. Spotted star heard us and ran towards us as fast as she could. I looked behind me and saw Viper fang wasn't there. " What happened, are you guys alright?" Spotted star said with a worried look on her face. She then glanced down at Amber claws bleeding shoulder. "Oh my!" She gasped. "May we please speak to you in your den?" I said while panting in between my words.

We padded off to her den while Amber claws wound was bleeding, and dripping onto the hard ground. We reached the den and walked through the lichens dangling from the entrance. Spotted star then sat down, and then started to speak. "What happened to you both? You looked like scared kits when you entered the camp!" We stayed silent for a minute and then Amber claw started to speak up. "It was Viper fang. He had tried to murder me!" Spotted star then had a shocked expression on her face. "Ice heart is this true?" She said with fear in her voice. I glanced down at the hard floor then slowly looked back at Spotted star, and nodded my head. She looked shocked. Viper fang was one of the most loyal, and hardworking warriors in the clan. "Can you both please get out. I need a moment to myself." She said while stuttering in between her words. We then quickly walked out of her den. When we walked out we saw many cats staring at us. They looked as if we killed some kits. One of the cats started to walk up to us. It was Night sting. "Come with me" He said with a stern look on his face. We walked across the clearing, and we heard cats whispering to each other but we didn't know what it was about. He lead us to a small corner in the camp, and then he growled. He lifted his paw up with his claws un-seathed. He then slashed my eye, then blood started to drip down my eye. I then growled "What is wrong with you?" "You know exactly what you two did." He said, then slashing Amber claws eye. She yelped in pain as she held her eye with her paw. Her yowl was loud enough for Spotted star to hear. Spotted star came running out of her den to see both of us in pain. "What happened to you two now?" She said, looking angry. "They killed Frost kit and Shallow kit!." He growled. We looked at him in shock because we had never killed a kit in our lives. Let alone any cat. Spotted star then glared at us "You two did what?" She growled. "I promise we have never done that!" Amber claw said defending ourselves.

"Then how come when you two had left the camp, Frost kit and Shallow kit were dead outside of camp,, and when you two came back there was blood on your paws!" Night sting snapped. "The reason we had blood on our paws was because Viper fang had tried to Murder Amber claw! She got wounded and the blood dripped onto her paws!" I said with my voice loud and clear.
