Hellu! OwO This is the second chapter (Sorry, it gets dark) So Yeah!

WARNING: ALL CHARACTERS ARE FICTIONAL

I saw Twistedtail laying on the dirt, a crimson coming from his fur.

“TWISTEDTAIL!” I yowled, racing towards him.

He wasn’t moving. I swung my head wildly, looking for Silverbell, but saw Mosspaw instead. She walked calmly to the mangled body.

“Mosspaw! What happened?! Is he okay?!” I meowed nervously.

Nobody in the clan knew he was my father. He found my mother shortly after he was made deputy. Mosspaw had only been an apprentice for a moon now, but you could see the experience in her eyes as she looked at Twistedtail.

“Calm down, he can hear you, and your scaring him” she mumbled.

I paced around him, preying to starclan he’ll be okay. Suddenly an awful smell hit my nose.

“Mousedung!” I hissed.

I was so anxious that I didn’t even recognize the enemy sent on him.

“CinderClan...”

I looked down at his flank, slowly starting to rise and fall, then his paw twitched, drawing my attention to the silver fur in his claws.

“Definitely CinderClan”

I sat down, finally being able to breath. Mosspaw was pressing cobwebs onto his wounds, to try to stop the bleeding. I quickly looked around for my siblings, and noticed the bystanders that I was too scared to have seen before. I felt my pelt get hot. Tawnypaw was smirking at me, and I realized how I had sprung to help. Worried I had given away my birth father, I raced back into the apprentice den.

“Mistypaw?”

I jumped, before spinning around. I recognized Ivypaw immediately and leaped at her. I pinned her playfully to the ground. She gave a good natured growl, and took a swing at my head with her paw. I was dazed for a minute, but thankful she had her claws unsheathed.

“You scared me!” I meowed, leaping off her and arching my back.

“Well you just did the same to me!” She quickly rolled back to her paws. “I thought you recognized me as a DireClan apprentice!”

I took a swipe for her ear, purring. “Well you sure look like one!”

“No! I’m a leader! I have my own clan.” She said as she ducked.

“Whatsit’ called? MousebrainClan?” I took a sweep at her paws, knocking her down.

“Omph! I wasn’t talking about your clan!” She jumped back up and knocked me down.

“Ivypaw shh!” I hissed urgently.

“What? If this is a trick you owe me” she jumped off me, and I got up.

“I smell something strange” I sniffed towards a crack in the den. “A cat from a different clan.”

I saw my sisters fur bristle.

“Another clan?!” She

hiss-whispered “which one?!”

I opened my mouth and strained to get a sent.

“I can’t place it... follow me.” I started walking towards the other exit.

My sister followed, and soon we were in the forest. I opened my mouth again.

“Downwind possibly?” My sister mewed shakily.

I turned my head, hearing a rustle.

“I-Ivypaw? I think we just found him...”
