Prologue[]
A brown-grey tom entered the rusted shiny dens of the rogues he knew well. "Venom!" He hissed under his breath. "Are you here? I have something important to tell you!"
The glossy black tom named Venom walked out of the shadows near the dens. "Ah, Snake! I've been expecting you! Have you carried out the plan yet?" He asked, now circling the much-larger tom.
"I had to take care of some dirty work first." He snarled. "A clan apprentice overheard us, so I had to kill him. You should have been more wary about where we have our conversation. I think a warrior saw the murder though..." He looked down at his paws.
Venom's purple eyes wirled with fury. With one large swipe, he slashed Snake's face. "Your mistakes are not my fault, Snake... I suggest you not blame me for them." Blood trickled from the wounds on Snake's face.
"Yes, sir." Snake said. "I must now return to my place of being. They are expecting me."
Chapter 1[]
"Friends," Snakeheart was announcing the rescue mission to save the leader of VineClan who had been captured by rogues nearly a moon earlier. He was being held in their hideout, and though Pebblemist didn't believe him, Snakeheart claimed to know where it was.
After he leaped down from the tall, leafy SpeakingOak, Pebblemist examined his brown-grey face closely. He looked tired, and thoughtful, but as if he had been working hard, and thinking of plans. Of course he has! He's planning the rescue, mousebrain! You're being paranoid... Pebblemist shook off the thought, and let it float away like the breeze; it would return to haunt her later.
"Pebblemist!" She jumped as Greynose whispered loudly in her ear. She turned around to see the grey pointed tom.
"What?" She responded, wallking quickly out of sight.
"Are you okay? You were looking at Snakeheart oddly..." He paced as he talked, as if he was unable of staying still. "It was almost as if you didn't trust him."
Pebblemist's eyes opened wide in shock at her clanmate's accusation. "That's absurd!" She told him with a flick of her tail. "Why wouldn't I trust him?" Greynose gave her a firm look.
"You don't need to pretend, Pebblemist. I see how you look at him with distrust." Pebblemist blinked for a long moment and snorted.
"Look, Greynose, I trust Snakeheart to help us get Bravestar back. Perhaps you should look at how much you trust him!" she snapped, and walked away before Greynose could respond. She felt guilty for snapping at him, but she didn't want to think about her deep gut feeling that Snakeheart was up to something not good.
