Warriors Secrets of the Shadows: Frozen Blood

Chapter 14

Emeraldpaw jumped in the way. "Slatetooth stop!" She braced herself for impact.
The tom skidded to a halt. Emeraldpaw was standing her ground. "Please stop. If we kill him we are no better than what he once was!" She pleaded. Slatetooth blinked. Emeraldpaw looked around at everyone timidly, not meeting some of their eyes. Blueheart licked her daughter's ear. "She's right!" She meowed.
Emeraldpaw smiled. She looked at her father. Brio nodded his head. "I agree." He mewed.
The apprentice looked shakily looked at Crimsonstar.
The ScarClan leader cleared his throat. "We need all of the warriors we can get. We can't take a chance after the casualties with the wolves.." He announced.
Emeraldpaw beamed.
"What are these cat's names?" Slatetooth rumbled.
"Oh um!" Emeraldpaw looked at the toms.
"I am Barren and this is Claus, Affront, and Scar." The scarred black tom pointed his torn tail to the dark orange tom, the pale brown tom, and the scarred black and white cat who seemed to look embarrassed by being put on the spot in front of a clan. Emeraldpaw smiled. "I'd like scar to be put in rehabilitation." She meowed. The leader tilted his head looking confused.
"So that way he dosent hurt anyone." She added.
"Hm. Seems reasonable." Crimsonstar meowed.
Emeraldpaw looked at Scar and smiled. Scar blinked at her.
"Come with me!" She beamed.
"We'll give each of them seven sunrises to prove themselves as strong, brave, mighty, and above all tested and pure to be ScarClan warriors. One cat for one sunris," Crimsonstar mewed. "The first sunrise starts now." He went on. Emeraldpaw led Scar to the prisoners den.
He hunkered down in it. "It beats laying on solid ground..." He commented.
Emeraldpaw smiled. "I'll be right back." She padded out to the fresh kill pile.
Scar shifted slightly.
Emeraldpaw grabbed two mice and padded back.
He blinked. "I don't deserve this.." He told her. There was a snort.
Emeraldpaw put one of the mice at his paws and settled down in front of him with hers.
The tom lightly munched on the mouse.
Emeraldpaw took a bite of her mouse. He looked around awkwardly.
"You okay?" The apprentice asked. "Everycat here hates me." Scar meowed looking down at his mouse.
"I mean if they did they would've killed you right?" She asked him.
"Yes." He replied.
"And they didn't and let you stay here right?"
"Yes." Scar replied.
"So nobody hates you. Everyone can learn to forgive." Emeraldpaw mewed. "Well probably not my brother..." He mewed with a frown.
"My father will forgive you if I do." She promised.
Affront was seen sitting beside Mousenose. Emeraldpaw finished her mouse and looked at Scar.
"Emeraldpaw come on. It's time for mock battle training." Flampelt meowed to the apprentice. "Oh o-ok be right there!" Emeraldpaw called to her. She nodded her head waiting for her. Emeraldpaw looked at Scar. "I'll be back after training!" She mewed and stood up.
"He can come. These cats need to learn the basic attack and defense moves if they wish to be members of the clan." Watertail put in.
"Ok! Come on Scar!" Emeraldpaw chirped.
The tom hesitantly followed. Emeraldpaw was excited.
"Get your friends." Slatetooth ordered Scar. With the flick of the deputy's tail he padded outside of the camp.
"Come on Scar. Let's go find them." She mewed.
"What's going on? Where's everyone going?" Greer asked as she drew near. "Mock battle training." Swiftpaw replied padding beside Creamtail. Claus blinked. "What's that?" He asked. "You have so much to learn." Shadowtuft mewed.
"Come on!" Emeraldpaw beamed. They all followed out of the camp. The cats all padded to the snowy clearing.
