Reluctant Assasin

Otterpad was deep in thought as she waited outside the IslandClan camp. She could see the edge of the island, and Mudpaw coming in the far distance.

I'll wait until Mudpaw comes out to fetch the tansy Goldenbranch wanted and then..... Ugh. How did I get tangled into this bloody occupation?

Otterpad was holding back tears. All I wanted was a little power... a little land for myself.... This is was I get for my greed. The only cat I ever want to slay is Shadestar.

The brown she-cat shivered vigourously at the name of her dominator. Mudpaw was padding happily up ahead. Otterpad looked at Mudpaw, and then the woods. Freedom. I could run. But then she shook the thought off. Darkenedheart would find me. He could track and eagle one thousand fox-lengths away.
From her hiding place, she looked at Mudpaw, then at the green woods.
Otterpad had a choice to make.



(Thrilling, eh? If you want, members, you can roleplay on this post and intercept Otterpad....)

  1. Cinderpaw, walking through the forest, spotted Mudpaw padding over to fetch tansy. "Hi Mudpaw!" she called, bounding over. "Fetching herbs for Goldenbranch?" she asked.

  2. "Hi Cinderpaw," Mudpaw mewed, looking up. "Shouldn't you be with your mentor?" she asked.
