BloodClan: To love a killer

Chapter 2

"All cats old enough to catch thier own prey, join beneath the dumpster for a clan meeting!" Called Scourge. It had been one moon since Briarpaw woke up in BloodClan, things had been going well. She was excepted by everyone and had even made some friends, Hopewing and Hazelthorn, two pointed sisters. They had gone out on a hunting patrol and Briarpaw caught two mice and a jay, Hopewing caught a shrew and a mouse, Hazelthorn caught two squirrels and Minkie caught a mole.

"We are about to begin one of the most sacred of our rituals! The making of new warriors!" The cats of BloodClan cheered. Minkie looked like she was about to burst with excitement. Hopewing winked at Briarpaw, as if to say thumbs up!.

"Minkie, step forward." Ordered Scourge. "You have trained hard under Sootfur and I have decided to make you a warrior. Sootfur," he looked to the black tom. "Has Minkie passed her warrior assesment?"

"Yes, Scourge. She has." The black toms eyes shone with pride.

"Then I say these words before our warrior anscestors so that they may hear and approve my choice," he took a deep breath before continuing. "This she-cat has trained hard to understand the words of you noble code and I send her as a warrior in turn. Minkie, you will now be known as Minkfur. BloodClan praises your golden heart and keen hunting skills."

"Briarpaw," he said, his voice softening " step forward. Although you have only been with us for a moon, you have already proven you are fit for this life." He turned to the clan. "Does everyone agree ?" The cats yowled 'yes' to their leader.

"Very well, Briarpaw," he said ''You have come to the city from thunderclan, and now I make you my warrior. Do you promise to uphold the warrior code and defend this clan, even at the cost of your own life?"

"I do!" He voice rang out, loud and clear.

"Then I say these words before our warrior anscestors so that they may hear and approve my choice," he looked at her with an unreadable emotion in his eyes. "This she-cat has trained hard to understand the words of you noble code and I send her as a warrior in turn. Briarpaw , you will now be known as Briarrose. BloodClan praises your lithe movements in battle and your fiery spirit."

"Minkfur! Briarrose! Minkfur! Briarrose!"

Briarrose's chest swelled with pride. I'm a warrior now! I will prove I am a BloodClan cat! Finchpelt, the Hunting Deputy, walked up to the two newest warriors.

"Would you like to lead a hunting patrol, Briarrose?" Said the Tabby she-cat, "Minkfur, could you join Mossfoot's patrol?" Minkfur nodded and ran off to join Mossfoot and Berrytail.

"Sure Finchpelt, can I take Moonsky and Frostedgaze? I'd like to take them to the park, there'll be some squirrels we can catch!" Said Briarrose. Finchpelt nodded.

"Remember to check the pond for fish!" Suggested the tabby.

Briarrose walked over to Moonsky and Frostedgaze. The white and pale yellow she-cats were talking, sharing a shrew. "Hey, you two want to come with me to the park for a hunting patrol?" Said Briarrose.

"Yep, sure." Said Frostedgaze. Moonsky nodded. She drew her tounge over her muzzle to get every last bit of prey. The three she-cats padded out of the camp. As they emerged out on the street, Briarrose turned her nose west, to the park.

The trio crossed one thunderpath to get to an alley. A wall stood between them and the park. Frostedgaze leaped onto the surface and crawled on top. Moonsky took a run up and leaped up, almost to the top, but had to crawl the last few paw-steps. Briarrose leaped and landed on a dumpster, then jumped up, almost to the top, but missing it by a whisker. She crawled up.

One by one, the she-cats disapeared over the other side of the wall. Soon they were at the park. Briarrose glanced up. It would be a few hours till sundown.

"Meet me back here by sundown, we must have at least three pieces of prey each." She told Moonsky and Frostedgaze.

~*~

"Moonsky! Briarrose!"

Briarrose lifted her body. Moonsky leapt after Frostedgaze. Briarrose followed the white she-cat. They followed Frostedgazes scent to a clearing in the middle of the grove of trees.

"Smell these ferns!" She said. Briarrose scented the ferns and a rusty smell met her nose, she drew her tounge over the roof of her mouth.

"Blood!" She cried, and sniffed again. "But not a kittypet. Smells like a rouge, or a loner."

"Two." Said Moonsky quietly. "There are two of them."

Briarrose and the white she-cat exchanged glances. "We need to follow them."
