Skyheart's battle (Warrior cat story) (NOT CONTINUED)

Chapter 18: Fresh Poison Each Week

[Emberpaw's P.O.V]

It had started to get dark and I had gone off in pursuit of my sister. As my blazing gaze scanned the area I caught a glimpse of a feline. Ginger and white with some some of a pendant around their neck. However, because of the distance and dusk light I couldn't see who it was and if it was male or female.

I narrowed my eyes at the figure as it disappeared. Suddenly, I caught a whiff of dew and earth. Skypaw! I turned and raced like a dart towards the scent, intent on reaching my sister before anyone else did. I propelled myself over a log and almost crashed right into a Russian blue feline.

"Emberpaw?" Her voice sounded and I looked up to see her confused face.

I grinned shakily. She glance nervously at the place where that peculiar she had disappeared. Suspicion immediately shadowed my eyes.

"Skyp-" I started but she interviened.

"Don't worry" she mewed in a somewhat snap.

I resisted the urge to flinch at her slightly harsh words. 'Why did she react like that? Interesting.' I thought but shook the thoughts from my mind.

"Let's go home" I said but she turned stubbornly away.

I scowled and went to walk off when pawsteps rustled the leaves behind me and she joined my side. I flashed her a swift grin and headed back to camp.

-Timeskip-

We entered camp to see a mysterious grey tom laced with scars. Skypaw went rigid and shuffled back to the shadows. I shot her a suspicious glare but didn't delve into the matter, curious about who this strange feline was. I stood by Nightstream who gave me a peculiar look.

"What in Starclan's name have I missed?" I muttered to myself.

"Bring the prisoner out" The grey tom called out and two other cats emerged with a frail looking ginger cat wedged between them.

My jaw dropped as I stared in shock. As soon as those green eyes fell on me I recognized him. Redfur. Nightstream gasped softly and I saw his claws unsheath. Skypaw was no longer visible and I noted a Russian blue tail whisk into the apprentice den.

"Now. To prove loyalty to us, Smokeclaw please step forwards." The scarred tom said with a malevolent grin.

My jaw seemed to be hanging a mouse-tail length off the floor. What the flaming mouse balls was going on?! Nightstream put his tail on my shoulders and gave me a glance. I returned it with a subtle nod.

"Now, kill this traitor of our group to show us you're not a fool" the tom boomed with a ghastly grin still on his face.

"It's my pleasure" Smokeclaw hissed with a matching grin, unsheathing his claws and stepping over to the male so he could loom over as the other two stepped back.

'What. The. Tail. Was. Going. On!'

Soooooo sorry for the late update and that it's short. This is super crappy and I'm so sorry. My writers block is slowly creeping back ^~^ Sorry that it's only Ember's p.o.v, hope you enjoyed anyway. It's a kinda filler chappie.
