Birchtail's Secret - Chapter 12

Birchtail was speaking to Applepaw, "I don't like her at all," Applepaw was telling Birchtail.  Birchtail nodded. "You shouldn't speak that way about your clan mates Applepaw. Even though Rivera isn't apart of the clan she is still considered the rank of the warrior because she knows and has the skills of a warrior. Which means she out ranks you, which also mean you also need to show some respect to her. Until I feel like you are showing respect to our warriors you will be gathering herbs for Windfur instead of training. I will speak to Mudpaws shortly. Also Birchtail I cannot command you to do anything but if you say anything else I will find a cat that can tell you to do something that actually benefits the clan." snapped Mossfur. "Now Applepaw go help Windfur. I must speak with Mudpaws." said Mossfur shortly. She turned and stalked away. Rivera turned and ran straight into Applepaw. Applepaw glared at Rivera before padding away. "Ignore her, she isn't having the best day today." said Mossfur padding up to Rivera's side. Rivera nodded. Soon Rivera was one if the finest cats in Fishclan. She had skills that most of the clan cats couldn't perform. She was able to race through the trees with out shaking a leaf. Soon Rivera knew the warrior code better than the apprentices, and she was constantly reminding them that they had to follow it. A few moons later all the apprentices and younger warriors were tired of Rivera watching over them like a hawk and reminding them to follow the warrior code, so they banded together. "We have to drive her out of the clan," said Applepaw late one night. "I said something to Birchtail and Mossfur went and and told me that until she thought I showed some respect to the warriors I would be helping Windfur instead of training. It has been over 3 moons and I am still helping Windfur." The other cats nodded. "The only problem is that Mossfur is extremely loyal to the warrior code and her clan. Everything she does is something that she thinks will benefit the clan and usually she is right. Unfortunately for us Rivera has chosen Mossfur to be her helper." Said Sagepaw. Flowerfur and Mousepelt looked thoughtful. "Then we just have to find a time that she is all alone and attack her." said Tigerstripe.
