Loud pawsteps echoed through the forest, their owners hidden in the undergrowth as they charged. There were flashes of teeth and claws, all bared and ready for battle. In the distance more cats were stirring, beside a large pile of silver rocks. Redtail, the brave and reasonable deputy of ThunderClan, stepped forward to face RiverClan.
"You come, an unwise desicion," he murmured angrily at Oakheart whose fur was bristling.
"Not as unwise as your choice to not let us have SunningRocks. I give you my last offer, if we can just have this patch of territory we will never fight again. Not even if you invade ours'" Oakheart replied as calmly as he could.
"No battles?!" Tigerclaw spat, but Redtail stepped in again.
"That is unreasonable. We are warriors, trained to fight," he said just as relaxed while Tigerclaw flexed his claws.
"Very well. I did say that was my very last offer. RiverClan, attack!" The clearing erupted into yowls as cats tore at eachother, though not to kill. Tigerclaw was blundering through the chaos and knocking all enemies out of his way, trying to get to Redtail. Suddenly there was a loud crash and the battle ceased for a moment as heads turned. The limp paw of a warrior was cticking out from beneath a pile of rocks.
"Oakheart, no!" a RiverClan warrior yowled and the clan all glared at at ThunderClan.
"That wasn't our, ughh!" Redtail broke off as a giant cat pinned him down. "Tigerclaw? What are you...?"
"Redtail, what are your last words before I kill you?" Tigerclaw asked menacingly as cats from both clans continued to battle, unaware of what was happening.
"Kill me? Tigerclaw, I'm your deputy...." Redtail stopped talking when Tigerclaw brought his paw up, ready to slit his throat.
"Words, Redtail, your last words!" Tigerclaw demanded while Redtail struggled, but the warrior was too heavy.
"Traitor!" was all Redtail yowled and Tigerclaw leaned in.
"Before you die, I'll tell you everything," he whispered so no other cat but he and Redtail could hear. "Once you are dead, I will become deputy then rise to kill Bluestar, as many times as is needed," Redtail gasped. "Then I shall become leader of ThunderClan, and eventually leader of all four clans. That is why your death is very important," Redtail shivered.
"I trusted you!" he spat angrily. "I admired you as a great, noble warrior! And you do this? What you plan is nothing but downfall to the whole forest! You cold-blooded FOOL!" Quick as lightning Tigerclaw suddenly slashed Redtail's neck and blood welled out of the deep wound.
"Cold-blooded fool...." Redtail spluttered before his eyes closed and his belly heaved for the last time.
