Wasp's Orchid

Chapter 4. Runaway recruit

WAIT! This chapter contains violence! Including murder, child murder, and mentioning blood!
If these themes upset you do NOT read!!

Wasp'Whisker felt the grass beneath her paws and the sunlight heat her fur as she stomped through moss tribe territory.  She huffed as her claws tore at the grass. 

"orchid.. acts like she founded our clan.. Thought.. ..guess.. tell me to take a walk....." Wasp'Whisker muttered to herself, earlier that morning she had lashed out on another member and sent them to their herbalist's quarters. 

Then Orchid told her to take a walk to calm down, this only made her more aggravated.  She raised her claws and raked them down a tree already full of scratch marks from other occasions. 

"Are you alright..?" A small high pitched voice squeaked from the bushes.  A small brown she came out of a small bush with a concerned look. 
Wasp'Whisker murmured to herself.

If I bring back another recruit.. they'll all praise me! Two whole recruits in one no moon!

She thought to herself excitedly.
"Hello there..!" She approached the she in a friendly manner. "What is your name?" She asked.

"I- Shouldn't tell you.. I don't even know you!" The apprentice backed away "and.. you don't smell like a moss tribe cat.. so you must be trespassing.." she murmured looking to Wasp'Whisker, her eyes looking determined but still shy and scared. Wasp'Whisker's eyes twitched.

"THATS NICE..." she cleared her throat "I'm from another tribe, a much nicer and friendlier and better tribe!" She said cheerfully trying to hide her irritated voice.

"So.. WHATS YOUR NAME.?" She gritted.
"I'll tell you if you tell me your name." The apprentice said :3

FINE. She thought to herself frustrated with his annoying apprentice.
"My name's Wasp'Whisker! TELL ME YOURS!" She said, changing tone.

"Willowpaw.." mumbled the apprentice, stepping back. "I'm from the hemlock tribe, we're very nice. Follow me." Wasp'Whisker brought the apprentice through the territory and to the river. Willow'Paw stopped at the river, whimpering.

Don't tell me she's a wimp.. Wasp'Whisker hissed to herself before grabbing the apprentice by the scruff and rushing over to the camp.

"I really shouldn't go past our territory-" the apprentice stammered before being pulled over the river.

"This is OUR camp," Wasp'Whisker said, "you should join us!" She added happily. The fall breeze swam through the camp and leaves fell to the ground where Crab'sMoss swept them to the edges, not noticing the two cats at the entrance.

Crab'sMoss.. doesn't even notice his superior at the entrance? He needs to learn to look up. What if we were enemy warriors and he didn't even notice until he was laying on the ground bleeding out; staining his precious leaf pile. She stopped ranting in her head and noticed her soon-to-be recruit turning around. And She started running.

Great.. a runaway.. guess I'll have to kill her.. Wasp'Whisker hissed in her head before bounding after the apprentice. The apprentice tumbled over the skipping rocks, nearly falling into the river before reaching the other side.

She scrambled up the ledge and rushed into the green scenery of the moss tribe. Wasp'Whisker leapt from rock to rock with great skill, she cleared the ledge in one great jump, and scaled the trees to stay above the bothersome apprentice.

She easily crawled through the trees, getting right above the apprentice as she reached her- patrol.
GREAT, a patrol.. Wasp'Whisker noticed it was a small patrol, only one apprentice- a fluffy ginger she, and two young looking warriors barely taller than the apprentice.

Willow'Paw reached them and spilled every bout of information.

"There was this white she- she had tan and grey markings- she was trespassing- her name was Wasp'Whisker and she tried to get me to join her clan- and asked for my name- and- oh I shouldn't have given it to her..she kept trying to convince me to join her clan until I ran far away to find you guys and tell you about her! And her clan is on our border! They even hunt in our territory! And- and-.."

The ginger apprentice was far away gathering moss, out of hearing range.
"Did you hear that Pumpkin'Paw?" One of the warriors shouted.

"Hear what?" The ginger she hollered back before turning back and inspecting some strange flowers further away.

"That-" before the warrior could utter a word Wasp'Whisker leapt from the trees onto the younger cat.

Two young cats, this one could even be an apprentice! I can handle this patrol. The ginger she was even further away now, seeing nothing,
I'll spare the Pumpkin'Paw- ENOUGH THINKING!
Wasp'Whisker shook off her thoughts as the warrior bounded towards her.

She bit down on the cat's neck her ears being pierced by the loud irritating yowl of pain. The other warrior leapt onto her, but it only forced her teeth deeper into the cat's neck. The two Tom's exchanged horrified looks before Wasp'Whisker leapt off the first one and knocked the other off of her.

She slammed into the dazed Tom that was unmarked, slashing her claws through his face as she pinned him on his side. Wasp'Whisker had tiny scratched on her back, but nothing bled. She scooped his left eye out, as it rolled to Willow'Paw who watched in horror.

She hissed as the Tom kicked and screamed she raised her body and slammed her claws into the Tom's throat. He tried to snap at her but his neck couldn't reach. She got off the Tom and turned to Willow'Paw. A small apprentice should be easy.

She saw the Ginger apprentice heading back to her now dead patrol.
I don't feel like fighting another apprentice.. she swiftly grabbed willow'Paw's scruff and rushed back to the camp. The struggling apprentice batted and clawed her throat.

Pitiful, these won't even scar.
As she crossed the skipping stones she threw her head to the side, opening her jaw and letting the struggling apprentice fly through the air. Her side hit the rock and she yowled before whimpering in pain.

Wasp'Whisker murmured to herself for a moment before pushing the weakened apprentice off the rock and into the river, it wasn't as strong as previous times but still an apprentice couldn't survive in it.

She watched Willow'Paw bob up and down with a worried and pitiful expression. Wasp'Whisker felt a bout of guilt inside of her but quickly erased it.

No, it was for Hemlock'sClan's safety, our secret is safe. Besides I was able to spare one of them.
She turned back to the Hemlock camp, she wouldn't talk about sparing the apprentice, only that she killed the patrol.

I am not that proud of his chapter Ngl :/ I feel like it wasn't necessary I didn't know what to do with Wasp'Whisker but whatever..
