THE BLOOD MOON; WARRIORS FANFICTION

Chapter 11

((/: A.N: I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!! 

Flowertail creeped through the bushes and started digging up the soft soil. She unearthed the mouse, then picked it up to leave. 

She was at the edge of unclaimed territory, but she'd been following a scent trail there, so it wasn't really her fault.

Not that Fox-dung would agree.

"Flowertail!"

She stopped at the hissed whisper, but flicked her ear dismissively and turned back to the mouse.

I'm imagining things.

"Flowertail!"

What now?

"Who is it?"

If it's Fox-du- I mean, Bramblestar, I'm going to murder him. He's going to scare all the prey away! Does he want ThunderClan to starve?

Black fur rippled across the border, and bright blue eyes followed.

"Nyx?"

Flowertail narrowed her eyes. "What are you doing here?"

"I snuck out," Nyx panted, "But I-"

"Nyx!" A faint growl called, and Nyx's eyes widened.

"I have to go," Nyx whispered.

"Where are you going? Who was that?" Flowertail demanded, but Nyx disappeared into the forest without answering.

Flowertail kneaded the ground in frustration and bit back a groan.

*** (Time skip because my burn demands one.)

"Flowertail!" 

What now?

Flowertail looked up from the finch she was eating and blinked in surprise. "What do you want?"

Menace shuffled his paws awkwardly. "Err..."

Flowertail arched her brow and gave him a look that dared him to offend her.

"Umm..." Menace looked even more nervous.

"I'm not going to kill you for talking." Flowertail snorted, then just to make him even more frightened, she added, "I might claw you though."

Menace blinked and looked as though he was trying to figure out if she was joking or not. "I'm...emm..."

"While you find your tongue, I'm going to eat. Tell me in a few moons when you're done." Flowertail scoffed.

"I'm uh...sorry." Menace mumbled.

Flowertail flicked her ear. "What was that? I can't quite hear you."

"I'm sorry." Menace muttered.

Flowertail gave him a flat look. "I think even mice are louder."

"I'm sorry." Menace repeated, gritting his teeth.

Flowertail cuffed his ear. "Daft furball."

"You're not angry?" Menace blinked, confused.

"Do you want me to be angry?" Flowertail retorted, arching her brow again.

"No!" Menace mewed quickly. 

Flowertail shrugged. "Your loss."

Menace paused. "Have you seen Nyx?"

Flowertail narrowed her eyes at Menace. "You've been spying on me?"

Menace flattened his ears and opened and closed his mouth, although no words came out. After a few seconds, he spluttered, "Wh-what? N-n-no! Ah...I...just had...a...errr..."

"You've been spying on me." Flowertail interrupted.

Menace groaned. "What did she say?"

"She didn't get to say anything before she heard someone calling her and had to leave. Shouldn't you know that if you've been spying on me?"

"I told you I wasn't spying on you."

"And hedgehogs fly." Flowertail rolled her eyes.

"Okay, I've been spying on you. I was too far away to hear anything." Menace sighed.

"So are you going to tell me now?" Flowertail questioned.

"Tell you what?"

"Who in StarClan took Nyx and why?" Flowertail eyed him exasperatedly. "Sometimes I really wonder what, if anything, goes on in that fluffy little head of yours."

Menace's ears warmed up as he scoffed. "Okay, I'll explain everything."
