Gone with the Wind



Gone with the Wind

You betrayed me!

I had to,

You didn't!

Yes I did!

For Brighty's Secret Game

By Skye

Chapter One
I was woken by a commotion outside the apprentices den. Willowpaw, my sister, was peering round the edge of the entrance, trying to get a glimpse of what was happening. I got up and went over to see her.

"What's up?" I said, going to stand next to her.

"I don't know!" she mewed, straining to see even further out. Somebody screamed and she winced back.

I tried to look too. All I could see was a crowd of cats, murmuring to each other. Flarestripe was helping a panic-stricken Rosefoot back to the queens den. It must have been her who screamed.

"Do you think someone's broken into the camp?"

I turned to see Willowpaw trying to look out again. "No, I don't think it would cause this much disruption." I answered. "Maybe an elders died?"

"Hah, all Rosefoot's relations are already dead and Flarestripe's already walked past. He's her mate. Plus, she hasn't given birth to her kits yet." Willowpaw stated.

"Oh, yeah." I shuffled my paws anxiously.

Flarestripe walked past again. Willowpaw shrunk back guiltily but it was too late. He turned around and sighed.

"Willowpaw, were you looking out of the den?"

Willowpaw marched out of the den and looked Flarestripe in the eye, "Yes, because me and Petalpaw," she gestured towards me, "have not been let in on this secret!"

Flarestripe rolled his eyes, "You will be when it's all cleared up."

"When will that be?"

"I'm not sure, now please go back into your den Willowpaw."

"Tell me Flarestripe. We might know something about this!"

"Ugh, and what will you two know about it?"

But he came in anyway.

Chapter Two
He settled down and nodded to us. He coughed, "Now, listen quietly to what your about to hear."

Willowpaw was listening intently. I shuffled uncomfortably. This didn't sound good.

"You know Mapleheart? The deputy?"

Willowpaw sighed, "Of course"

"Well, she's dead."

I gasped.
