If a Twoleg Became a Warrior Cat (Completed)

Chapter Twelve|~|Framed

King was now called Stripedbreeze, in honour of his striped tabby pelt and quick thinking in battle. Pebblenose was to teach him to hunt.

Harefoot had seemed reserved for the last few days.
Seedrush had noticed her sucking up to Stoneclaw too.
Seedrush knew he was going to have to watch out, Stoneclaw was a deadly fighter and though Seedrush was probably stronger, Stoneclaw was quick and agile.

While Seedrush sat eating a fish, Harefoot called to him.
"Hey Seedrush, could you pass me that trout on the very top of the fresh-kill pile?"
He glared at her, but did it, as not raise any suspicions.
He thought the trout smelt a little flowery but he guessed that was because some cat accidentally dropped it in a thicket or something.
He dumped it in front of Harefoot and walked to the other side of the camp, taking his fish with him.
As Seedrush finished a commotion started on the other side of camp.
Harefoot seemed to be having a spasm of some sort.
He walked over cautiously and pushed through the group of cats surrounding her.
The evil she-cat was writhing in the dust. Foam bubbled at her mouth and she gurgled in pain.
Chevriltail ran down to her and made her swallow yarrow leaves.
She began vomiting and convulsing.
Soon she became calm and slipped into some sort of unconsciousness.
The clan was in shock.
Serves her right! though Seedrush angrily.

Seedrush trotted into camp, the two fish he had caught in his jaws.
He immediately noticed something was up.
As he dropped the fish on the pile he could feel all cats eyes upon him.
Then suddenly Stoneclaw stormed out of the medicine den. The tom's eyes locked onto him.
"You!" Stoneclaw ran at him and before Seedrush could think, the tom slashed at his nose and it gushed blood.
"You dared to poison Harefoot so you'll have to go through me!"
"Oi!" a yowl broke through the camp. It was Dogfang. "We have no proof that Seedrush had anything to do with this. Back off!"
Stoneclaw turned on the deputy. "I'll give you proof! Smell the flea-bag! He smells like herbs!"
"That doesn't prove anything!" Dogfang stepped forward.
"Then search him and his nest!"
"Fine! But there'll be nothing there!"
Seedrush glared at Stoneclaw but they both followed Dogfang to his nest.
Dogfang pulled some moss from the nest and froze.
"What is it?" Stoneclaw hissed.
"Seedrush, I - I can't believe..."
Stoneclaw leapt forward and hooked something from under the moss with his claws.
"Aha! Water hemlock!"
"What's water hemlock?" asked Woolpaw.
Stoneclaw looked at the crowd of cats who gathered, among them was Chevriltail.
"Water hemlock is a herb. It causes terrible pain and a foaming mouth..." Chevriltail trailed off and looked away.
"Exactly what Harefoot had! He's guilty!" Stoneclaw riled up the tension.
"What!? I would never! Why would I?"
"Well even I can answer that question! You did it because Harefoot told everyone you were dead when you weren't! It was just a mistake! You don't know how upset she was when she came into camp with the news!"
Tansystar stepped forward. "I'm sure Seedrush is innocent-"
"What?! A leader can't ignore the evidence!"
"I-"
"If you keep him here you're endangering the whole clan! You will be a shamed leader if you do!"
"Stoneclaw-"
"He could end up putting death berries into our fresh kill next!"
"S-"
The warrior cut his leader off again. "I say we vote! All those who think we should exile Seedrush come behind me!"
Seedrush was shocked to see the majority of the clan backed the crazed warrior up.
The only cats left out of the group were, Tansystar, Dogfang, Chevriltail, Saffronpaw, Autumnstorm and King. Even Hailstorm and Pebblenose were against him!
I thought they were my friends!
He stood stock still.
Stoneclaw looked at him. "Either get out of fight me!"
Seedrush didn't move.
Stoneclaw walked over to him. "GET OUT!"
Stoneclaw lashed out and hit him next to his right ear. The warrior ripped his skin and the blow was packed with muscle and force.

Stoneclaw saw Seedrush's eyes rolled to the back of his head and he slumped onto the floor.
He smiled, now Harefoot wasn't in danger.
"I'm getting rid of him!" Stoneclaw grabbed the unconscious warrior by his scruff and roughly dragged him away.

The warrior dragged him above RiverClan territory and smiled to himself when saw some mushy sand further up the river.
He dropped Seedrush in the sand but before leaving made sure that Seedrush's head was out of the muck.
He wasn't mean enough to murder.
Stoneclaw was about to leave when he had an idea.
Water Hemlock!
Making sure no one was watching he shoved sand onto Seedrush's body until you could only see his head.
Then he quickly ran to the marshy ShadowClan border and collected the water hemlock along with a beach leaf.
When he got back to the half buried cat he entangled the beach leaf with some reeds and made a kind of blindfold.
Pushing it onto Seedrush's head and over his eyes he waited until the warrior woke up.

Seedrush opened his eyes but everything remained black.
He tried to move but a heavy weight held him down. It felt as though he were buried, even though he was still breathing.
"Seedrush?"
He didn't know that voice.
"Who is it?"
"I'm going to help your head. Eat what I put in your mouth."
"Okay," he rasped.
He felt something being pushed into his mouth. It felt like a herb.
Maybe the cat was a medicine cat from StarClan.
He swallowed the herb.
Suddenly excruciating pain ran through his body and his mouth foamed!
Someone had given him water hemlock!

Stripedblaze couldn't concentrate on hunting that day.
He was shocked that some cat had been exiled on his third day in a clan. He was just as shocked that his own mentor had wanted the cat exiled.
Stripedblaze was itching to ask Pebblenose why but his mentor seemed annoyed.
"No! No! No! How many times do I have to tell you?! Tail down!"
Stripedblaze hadn't noticed that his tail was waving around like a windmill.
