Monster Catching

===C loudpaw===

"Come on!" complained Rainpaw. "You shouldn't believe everything Clawpaw says."

"Yeah, who'd want to attack Nightpaw?" agreed Stonepaw. He licked one brown paw and brushed it across his head to clean his face.

Scorchpaw just stood silently in the corner. She hated talking about injuries and blood and such. She would make a terrible medicine cat.

It was the day after the arena battles. Also, it was the day after I had made the mysterious discovery on Nightpaw's strange scratches. Today was our day off for the moon, so I thought it'd be a perfect time to start searching for suspects. I was explaining the problem to my siblings. Their reacton didn't go as planned.

"So much fuss over some brambles," muttered Rainpaw grumpily.

I shook my head. "You don't understand! If you saw those scratches, you would know."

Scorchpaw finally spoke up. "Guys, if Nightpaw is being attacked, he's probably being used as bait!" she exclaimed. "Someone might be plotting to draw us in by threatening him, so that they can kill us."

Rainpaw sighed. "Stormpaw, stop fantisizing." Stormpaw ducked her head and didn't say a word. I hated it when Rainpaw and Stonepaw pushed her around like that. I thought it was a good idea. "Anyways, who would want to kill us? And why? We're just apprentices."

"So is Nightpaw," I said, "so we better help him before someone gets him killed. Anyone who wants to help, come with me."
