The Prizoner

[Thunderfang]

They led Thunderfang in the shadowclan camp and put her where the prizoners went

[Silentclaw]

Phantom hid near the prisoner area, waiting for Moonstar and Treelicker to leave so he could talk to Thunderfang.

[Thunderfang]

when they finally left she just sat there looking at the camp

[Silentclaw]

Phantom crept silently behind her, keeping to the shadows."Thunderfang, what are you doing here?" He prepared to fight in case she yowled.

[Thunderfang]

Thunderfang looked behind her''I'm here to spy on the camp''she said and kept looking at the clearing

[Silentclaw]

Phantom nodded in understanding."Anyway I could help. I heard you need to prove yourself loyal. I could help with that." He took on a sly happy look at the thought of doing smething dangerous.

[Thunderfang]

''Like what?''she asked him''Tell me your not goin to do something risky''she said looking at him

[Silentclaw]

"I am, but your not." Phantom looked back a pleased expression on his face."I'm going to get them to chase me, in the futile hope of catching me. That's where you comein. Your going to capture me, and take me back to camp as a show of your loyalty. I'll leave later on to night to get back to Thornpaw, and they will trust you again. I'll also get a little fun out of it." He nodded happily."Everyone wins."

[Thunderfang]

''Ok if your sure''she said with a smile''When are you goin to do this?''Thunderfang asked.
Thunderfang looked at the clearing.

[Silentclaw]

"Now." Phanton said fading back into the shadows. "Meet me by the big stone at weathered rocks." He said before he disappered altogether.

[Thunderfang]

Thunderfang nodded her head in understanding.''Wait how am i goin to get out?''she asked when he was fading in the darkness

[Silentclaw]

"Just run after me..." The reply came softly on a breeze. A moment later Phantom was at the top of the clearing. He looked angry and his face was twisted with hate."TRAITOR!" Phantom yelled across the clearing at Thunderfang."WE GIVE YOU A HOME, A PURPOSE AND WHAT DO YOU DO? YOU COME BACK TO THE CLAN THAT HOLDS NOTHING FOR YOU EXCEPT A CHANCE TO HAVE SOME SHADOWCLAN KIT SCUM!" Privately he took the last part back. He waited for the Shadowclan cats to begin trying to take him down before he'd run.

[Thunderfang]

Thunderfang looked at him and smiled evily

[Willowtail]

Willowtail heard Silentclaw's yowl. She paded out of her Den and saw Thunderfang and Silentclaw, she refused to call him Phantom, yowling at each other. Shaking her head in despair she revealed herself to them.

[Silentclaw]

Phantom saw Willowtail, and he felt his stomach turn guiltily. He looked down, forgetting his act for a moment and began going across the camp towards her, forgetting Shadowclan for a moment.

[Willowtail]

Willowtail backed away from Silentclaw, afraid of what he might do. She did not trust him anymore.

[Silentclaw]

Silentclaw saw her back away and stopped. He gave her a puzzled look. He didn't know why she didn't trust him He hadn't changed so much, only left Shadowclan so he could be useful somewhere. He stared at her.

[Willowtail]

Willowtail tembled as he stopped. She felt her swollen belly drag along the ground and vowed never to tell the Kits about this. She did not hiss, only whimper slightly, petrified with fear, guilt, sadness and despair.

[Silentclaw]

Phantom looked down then back at her. He could see she was upset and felt the wall that now seperated them.

[Willowtail]

"The Silent Claws shall Destroy All." Willowtail whispered. The words were for Silentclaw alone, Thunderfang would not hear them.

[Silentclaw]

Phantom looked at her, still foregetting all about Shadowclan. Then he whispered."There is one cat alone that prophesy was made for, and it shall be done."

[Willowtail]

"No. . ." Willowtail whispered. She felt hollow, empty inside. Her whole life seemed to be blighted. "Silentclaw. . ."

[Silentclaw]

Phantom saw her look and wanted to resure her, tell her he would kill the Night, but in order for the plan to work, he had to make sure everyone thought he was loyal.

[Willowtail]

"If you are to fulfill that Prophecy. . .You. . .You would have to k-kill me." Willowtail mewed, realising tha truth of the Prophecy.

[Silentclaw]

Phantom stepped back, full of surprise and a strange feeling."No,"He muttered to himself."Never.." He shook his head at the thought.

[Willowtail]

Willowtail ignored him. "You. . .You would have to k-kill me and the K-Kits. Y-you would d-destroy your family." She was trembling with fear and. . .love.

[Moondust]

Thunderfang looked at them wandering what they were talking about

[Silentclaw]

Silentclaw continued to back away, shaking his head, eyes wide. He couldn't believe that Willowtail actualy thought that, he couldn't.

[Willowtail]

"If you want so much to fulfil that Propheyc, you would have to. Would you do it Silentclaw?" Willowtail took a step forward, still trembling at the recklessness of her words. Finally Silentclaw would be given a simple choice. "Would you murder your Mate?"

[Silentclaw]

Phantom looked at her and remembered his mission. His eyes closed and he knew what he had to do, though it felt like a knife would be thrust though him. But he needed to make sure no one suspected his loyaltie to the Night. So he said it."Yes.."
