Chapter 7. Darkclan

It has been a moon and half since Shadowpool became Bloodclan's apprentice. Leafbare had ended and small, green leaves started to grow on trees and bushes. The sun shone brightly when Shadowpool walked along the streets with her friends. They turned to a long thunderpath which was besides a large green area with many trees. Twolegs called that area a " Park ".
" There are usually loads of birds at the Park. We could hunt them and bring some to other warriors. ", Scarheart suggested and pointed her tail towards the Park.
" Good idea. ", Shadowpool mewed. Shadowpool padded to the Park her friends behind her. Old, tall trees shaded the dry and earthy ground. Shadowpool smelled happily the fresh spring air. Grass had begun to grow and small white flowers covered the ground. A group of black birds scraped the ground trying to find insects. Iron, Shadowpool and Scarheart surrounded the birds quietly as they scraped the ground with concentration. Shadowpool sat down and waited for Scarheart to give an attacking sign. A minute passed. Then Scarheart pointed her tail towards the birds and the cat trio attacked. Shadowpool jumped in the middle of the birds and caught one of them.
Suddenly a huge, gray furball collided with her.
Shadowpool laid on the ground Iron sitting on her with a bird in his mouth. " Get off of me you heavy fluffball! ", Shadowpool mewed irritatedly. Scarheart couldn't stop her laughter when she saw Shadowpool in that situation.
" Sorry, Shadowpool. ", Iron muttered in embarrassment and got off of her.
" Did you get any birds? ", Iron asked from Scarheart.
" Unfortunately my bird escaped. But both you and Shadowpool caught a bird. ", Scarheart mewed. " Let's get more birds! ", she said heartily and padded towards a large bird group. As the cat trio padded towards the birds they heard loud screeching coming from the other side of the park.
" What was that? ", Scarheart mewed in confusion and stopped walking. Shadowpool smelled the air. She noticed some unfamiliar cats and blood's smell. " It's probably a cat in trouble. Let's find out what's going on. ", Shadowpool said cautiously. Shadowpool and her friends started to pad slowly towards the noise's direction. The unfamiliar cats' scent grew stronger as Shadowpool got closer to them. She hid in a bush with her friends so the weird cats won't notice them. As the cat trio sat in a bush they saw those weird cats beating a young, light colored tabby tom. That small tom looked like he was just five moons old. He whimpered in pain as those mean cats clawed and beated him. " How dare you to spy on us and ruin our plans, you worthless Bloodclan trash! ", a large, brown tom growled and clawed the kit's face. " Kill him before he runs away and reveals our plans to Scourge! ", a small, scrawny tabby shouted. " This is for Wolfpelt and Darkclan! ", the brown tom shouted and raised his paw for the killing strike. Then Shadowpool and her friends sprinted out of their hiding place and attacked the unfamiliar cats. Scarheart pinned the scrawny tabby to the ground and sliced a deep cut on his face. Iron fought against a pitch black she-cat and Shadowpool attacked the young kit's tormentor. She jumped on his back and bit him hard. The tom screeched in fury and slammed Shadowpool against a tree. She got up quickly and hit the tom's chin. The tom hit her back and pinned her to the ground. " Can't you do better, Bloodclan trash? ", he hissed mockingly.
Suddenly the brown tom screeched in pain. The young kit, who he was going to kill bit his hind leg hard. Shadowpool kicked him off of him and pinned the tom on the ground. Her friends had already won against the two other strangers and hissed at them menacingly.
" Who are you and why are you hurting an innocent kitten!? ", Shadowpool spat on the tom's face.
" He was spying on us! ", the tom hissed with pure anger in his eyes. " He listened as we talked about Darkclan's plans. "
" I'm sorry! I didn't know that you were talking about something restricted! ", the young kit cried. " You have no reason to apologize to that mean tom. ", Shadowpool said to the kitten.
" That doesn't justify hurting a kit! ", Shadowpool growled at the tom. " And now go away before we kill you and your mean fleabags. "
Shadowpool and her friends let them go and they ran away leaving some blood prints behind. " What a fight! Hopefully we will never see those fleabags again. ", Iron said and licked blood from his paws.
" I fear we will see them again many times in the future. ", Shadowpool mewed gloomily and sat down. " Do you know a cat named Wolfpelt? That tom mentioned their name and a clan named Darkclan. ", Scarheart asked Shadowpool. Shadowpool felt a chill run down her spine when she heard Wolfpelt's name.
" Yes, I know her. She was also in Shadowclan. ", Shadowpool told and shook her head in disbelief. " I fear that she will try to destroy Bloodclan in revenge on me "
" That's horrible! We should go and tell Scourge immediately! ", Scarheart mewed hastily.
" No. Wait a little. That kit probably knows something about it. ", Shadowpool mewed.
" Hey, kit! What's your name? "
" Thank you for saving me! My name's Smoke. What are your names then? ", the young kit said.
" I'm Shadowpool. That gray tom is Iron and that she- cat is Scarheart. Nice to meet you, little one. ", Shadowpool told him. " Do you know anything about a cat named Wolfpelt or Darkclan? "
" Yes, I know. There's a small clan near Bloodclan territory named Darkclan. Wolfpelt is it's leader and she's planning to send a dog pack to kill Bloodclan cats one by one. ", Smoke told her, trembling in fear.
" That's enough. You can tell more to Scourge later. We're going now. ", Shadowpool said and got up. Smoke tried to get up but he fell to the ground whimpering in pain. " I can carry you. ", Iron mewed and lifted him on his back.
Shadowpool and her friends left the Park with Smoke and their birds. The clouds covered the sun as they walked towards Scourge's alley. Wind blew through trees and bushes and monsters passed through thunderpaths.
Wolfpelt had formed her own clan that posed a serious threat to Bloodclan. Nobody knew what she had on her mind next and it scared Shadowpool. She thought that the worst troubles were over in her life but they had only just begun.
