THE BLOOD MOON; WARRIORS FANFICTION

Chapter 4

(((MOONPAW'S POV)))

Moonpaw shifted in her nest, her fur prickling guiltily as she stared into the distance, her gaze clouded.

"Moonpaw!"

A hiss slid through the darkness, and Moonpaw sat up, her ears pricked. "Flowertail?"

Something bowled Moonpaw over, and she looked up to find Flowertail pinning her down, her gaze furious. 

"You lied!" Flowertail snarled. 

Moonpaw flinched, trying not to focus on Flowertail's unsheathed claws. "N-n-no I d-d-didn't. I-I h-had a v-vision from S-starClan."

"I'm your sister, Moonpaw! And as unfortunate as that may be, I can tell when you're lying!" Flowertail growled.

Moonpaw couldn't stop her eyes from widening. "W-w-what?"

"Don't lie to me!" Flowertail yowled, her voice cracking with anger.

"O-okay," Moonpaw mewed in a hoarse whisper. "I l-lied."

Flowertail slumped as if the blazing energy in her had extinguished as she stumbled a few paw steps away.

"Flowertail?" Moonpaw meowed gently, trying to place her tail on Flowertail's shoulder without making her angry. "Are you okay?"

Flowertail whirled around, sparks of rage seeming to seethe from her eyes.  "Am I okay? Am I okay?" Flowertail panted, her voice almost high-pitched. "No! No I'm not okay!"

Moonpaw flinched backwards, her eyes wide.

"My mother has betrayed me, my sister is faking terrible visions about me, and you ask if I'm okay?!" Flowertail looked so crazed that Moonpaw couldn't even bring herself to ask what she meant about Icepool betraying her.

"F-f-flowertail?" Moonpaw's gaze flickered across her sister.

"What happened to you?" Moonpaw's voice cracked.

Flowertail thrust her muzzle in Moonpaw's face, and Moonpaw flinched at her blood-shot amber eyes. "What happened to me? I'll tell you what happened to me!"

Flowertail paced across the medicine den, her tail lashing. "If you had ever been anything like my kin, if you had ever understood me, you would know. You would understand. But then, nobody understands, do they?" Flowertail laughed drily, humorlessly.

Flowertail stormed towards the medicine den's herb storage and Moonpaw was too frozen with shock to move.

Flowertail whirled around and dropped two round, red berries on the ground. 

Moonpaw was unable to suppress a shiver of horror at the sight of them.

Deathberries!

"What are you doing?" Moonpaw's voice trembled, and she tried unsuccessfully to stop it from cracking.

"Oh, these aren't for you." Flowertail mewed sharply.

"What are you doing?" Moonpaw repeated, still trembling.

"It's none of your business." Flowertail snapped, then gripping the deathberries with a leaf, she stormed out of the medicine den.

(((FLOWERTAIL'S POV)))

Flowertail couldn't think. Her mind was fuzzy, and she was only numbly aware of herself padding through the camp, although the furious anger that slashed through her was sharp, as if it was a terrible itch, and she simply couldn't reach it, couldn't stop it.

Flowertail felt herself walking somewhere, and the burning sensation of anger glowed brighter in her.

I have to stop it.

Flowertail felt herself continuing to march somewhere.

I have to get rid of it.

Flowertail found herself in the leader's den.

((/: A.N : Soo... a bit of a crazy chapter there, so I'll leave you all on a cliffhanger just because that's the kind of person I am and just because I love floofy, fluffy cats and feel terrible about doing this to so many innocent, cute cats. Yes, if you haven't figured that out yet, I love cats. And art. And lots of cat art. Okay, I'm getting off topic.

Bye!
