Warrior cats: The making of destruction #1: The Three Newcomers

Chapter 30

"You sent.... my sister.... to get catnip...... IN THE MIDDLE OF A BATTLE?" Winterfrost screeched, flinging herself at the medicine cat. Rainheart let out a surprised yowl and the two cats rolled around on the camp floor, hissing and spitting.

"You killed her!" Winterfrost yowled, rage welling up inside of her.

"YOU KILLED MY SISTER!" Winterfrost showed no mercy. She battered Rainheart with strong paws. Rainheart fought back but her lack of hardly any battle training was beginning to show.

"YOU WORTHLESS, MOUSE-BRAINED, FOX-HEARTED-" Winterfrost didn't finish her sentence before Rabbitstar dragged her off of Rainheart and pinned her down.

"She may have been a bit responsible for Featherwisp's death, but she is still our medicine cat and if you kill her we will not have a medicine cat!" Rabbitstar spat. But Winterfrost didn't care. She pushed Rabbitstar off of her, making him stumble to the side. Winterfrost flung herself at Rainheart again, biting down on her neck, about to kill her.

"WINTERFROST!" Rabbitstar yowled, bowling her off of Rainheart again and pinning her down, this time having the help of Redclaw and Icefang to keep her down. Rainheart was crouched down with deep cuts on her legs and neck. Her eyes showed nothing of what she felt. She stood up and started to pad back over to Featherwisp.

"Stay away!" Winterfrost yowled, fur bristling even though she was pinned down. Rainheart looked at Winterfrost and seemed to understand. She padded back inside the medicine den, tail dragging across the ground and ears back.

"You tried to kill her!" Rabbitstar hissed.

"You know that is against the warrior code," Redclaw added.

"She should leave!" Icefang agreed, icey eyes glaring down at her.

A few warriors stepped in front of the medicine den as the three cats allowed Winterfrost to stand up. Winterfrost didn't feel pain or sorrow. She just felt anger. The anger flowed through her body, from head to tail tip. It was like a coat of snow that she couldn't shake off. She arched her back and fluffed out her fur, making her look twice her size.

Rabbitstar, Redclaw, Icefang, and Darksoul grouped together and started whispering. Other warriors stood back in terror. A few others gave Winterfrost angry looks. Rabbitstar let out a yowl and leaped on top of his den. He didn't bother to tell all cats old enough to catch their own prey to join beneath the den, because all of the cats were already out of their dens and gathered around it.

Darksoul, Icefang, and Redclan backed Winterfrost up against the den and made sure she stayed there. Winterfrost arched her back but didn't attack yet.

"Cats of Rainclan. Most of you know what has happened, but those of you who don't, Winterfrost won't be the one to explain it, for she is leaving." There was anxious murmures and wails among the cats who haden't witnessed what Winterfrost had done.

"Tonight, she attacked Rainheart, attempting to kill her and blaming her for the death of Featherwisp. Even after I tried to stop her, she attacked Rainheart again." Rabbitstar continued, ignoring the gasps of the clan cats.

"Winterfrost, is there anything you would like to say?" Rabbitstar asked sternly. All eyes gazed on Winterfrost. Winterfrost didn't like it but she wasn't about to show it.

"Rainheart sent Featherwisp out to get catnip in the middle of a BATTLE! If that is the kind of cat that this clan has in it, I don't want to be a part of it any longer!" Winterfrost spat, glaring at the cats.

"Very well." Rabbitstar meowed.

"You have broken the warrior code tonight, breaking number one! The first part of it says Defend your clan, even with you life! Also, you broke number fourteen! An honorable warrior does not need to kill other cats to win his/her battles, unless they are outside the warrior code or it is necessary for self-defense. You did not need to attempt to kill Rainheart, Winterfrost! It was not for self defense or any other purpose except for revenge! Revenge is not what makes us clan cats, Rainheart! If you can't understand that, then you must leave." Rabbitstar's voice rang around the clearing.

"I do not care what you say! None of you cats here seem to care about Featherwisp!" Winterfrost yowled.

"Well then I guess you won't care about this either." Rabbitstar gazed down at Winterfrost. What had happened to the caring, kind cat he knew once? Winterfrost returned his gaze coldly.

"Winterfrost, you can no longer be trusted by a clan member of Rainclan. I, Rabbitstar, leader of Rainclan, sentence Winterfrost to Exile!"
