Redstar's Secret

Chapter 5

Redpaw treaded down the sides of camp with her mentor Suntail, longing for battle, she asked to learn some fighting moves. Suntail agreed, but she also had promised Jaggedstar that they would catch some fresh kill for the hungry clan, for food was scarce in leaf-bare. Redpaw learned the death bite, strongest of all, on a mouse, it was basically a last resort, that a cat is usually is ashamed of. Her father Smokefoot had done it once, he kept his head low in shame for a quarter-moon. Later that day, after Redpaw had cleaned bedding, explored the new territory Windclan had given them in return for a measly pile of crowfood, and slept and ate, until she heard the cry of battle. Shadowclan warriors, gasped all the cats. one of their warriors, Clawface snatched Redpaw from under her feet, attempting to throw her into a large ravine. She was able to escape, but soon found herself in the middle of a battle. this is my chance, to prove myself!

Thought Redpaw, as she threw herself onto the Shadowclan deputy Blacktail, who soon started a battle with her, Blacktail was winning, and Redpaw knew it, but suddenly a bolt of lightning struck above, giving her ultimate strength for a few seconds, she bit Blacktail, hard, he fell motionlessly to the hard rocky ground. She was hungry for more blood spilled, she pounced onto the Shadowclan leader, who was almost killing Redpaw's mother, and her leader, Jaggedstar. Leopardstar of Shadowclan quickly lost his footing, dropping into the dreaded ravine. Then Redpaw noticed a horrible sight in front of her, Suntail, her mentor, the deputy, her aunt, was bleeding, and not breathing, Suntail was dead.
