I lifted my head slightly and peered through the bushes. I could see Angelpaw standing next to Ghostpaw, both of them with this odd look of happiness in their eyes. Of course I would be happy too if I was going to be made a warrior.

Sighing softly, I controlled my anger of wanting to rake that smug and happy look of my sister's face and focused on the plan. It was simple! Sort of...

Unsheathing my claws, I hooked a small branch onto my paw. My dark brown eyes flickered waiting for the word of command. Not from Tidepaw or anybody! But from Angelpaw's (or even Ghostpaw's) mentor.

"Okay," Angelpaw's mentor ordered, "Show my your skills for you last hunt!"

THAT was my word of command. Slinking forward slightly, I pushed the stick forward so that it was positioned around the area where she would be stepping. I glanced over to where Tidepaw and Dapplepaw were crouching in a bush across from me, and nodded. It was there turn now.

Dapplepaw shrunk out of sight, probably going to fetch our ultimate weapon. The Fox.

I shuffled my paws nervously as I thought of a big fox tearing through the clearing, possibly killing everyone in sight. It was a good sounding plan at the time. A fox tearing through, scaring everyone, and hopefully eating one lucky cat (Angelpaw!) and leaving the rest(mainly Ghostpaw) out of a fine ceremony. Or would-have-been ceremony. Or something. But now that I thought about, I wasn't so sure. Scittering back around to try and talk Tidepaw out of his so-called "brilliant" idea, I heard the sound I was looking for.

Crack!

But it wasn't in exactly the right direction. FOX-DUNG! I spat to myself, lifting a black paw off of the broken stick I was now stepping on.

Angelpaw and Ghostpaw both stood up from their hunting crouch and looked around. I could feel my face heat up as I shrunk down low wishing I could disappear. But I had stepped out of the shelter of the bush and was in total and complete sight.

"Scarletpaw?" hissed Angelpaw in a snarling tone. Then she had to ask the questiong I was hoping she wouldn't, "What are you doing here?"

"Uh..." I stuttered, trying my hardest to think up a split-second lie. But nothing was coming to mind and I felt like a complete stalker.

"She was hunting with me! And Dapplepaw! Though, I don't exactly know where Dapplepaw went..." Tidepaw meowed, crawling out of the bush. Leave it to him to think up a lie. It was practically what he was best at. After all, you can't play a prank without (somewhere along the line) lying.

"And WHY were you hunting here?" she hissed, her golden-dark ginger fur bristling as if she just caught us trying to ruin her warrior ceremony. Although, I'll never admit we actually were.

"I like this hunting spot!" he meowed, defiantly.

"So why were you hiding in the bush!" Angelpaw asked, her amber eyes turned on Ghostpaw pleadingly, and he just HAD to go along with her. After all, she is my beautiful sister!

At this point I could feel fury building up inside. So there! I was going to let it out.

"I was in the bush waiting for you and your little FRIEND, though I seriously doubt he's just that, to finish up hunting so I could hunt here! But I guess that that's never going to happen since you're to SELFISH to realize (A/N: I blanked on how to spell that... And S or a Z?) that anyone else actually exists besides GHOSTPAW!" I hissed. Yeah, so I was never a good liar. But it's amazing what anger does to people (or cats...)!

"Why are you mocking Ghostpaw?" sneer-hissed Angelpaw, "Is it to cover up the fact that you like him? Or is it just because you hate me because he actually likes me?"

I could feel my self turn red. Maybe I literally was. I really hoped I wasn't. "I DO NOT LIKE HIM!" I hissed in my most convincing voice. I wasn't fooling anyone if that was the case. "But, yeah, you're right! I do hate you! And it was nothing to do with HIM!" I meowed HIM like it was some sort of virus. I seriously hoped it didn't hurt his feelings. Though at this point, I was less concerned with that.

Especially when Dapplepaw burst into the clearing yelling one word. One word that made my hair stand up on ends. The thing I totally had forgotten in my pure rage.

"FOX!"


And to everyone, thank you for reviewing! And thanks for everything. And I'm very SORRY about everything. Since I probably won't update in another while. So, I hope that this short chapter last's a long time! THANK YOU AGAIN!

KATIE.
