Zodiac (warrior cats)

Chapter 26

Wheat and Barley spread out vastly in front of the WindClan cats, the Horse-Place wasn't to far ahead.
Ferretpaw looked out across the grassy moor as the sun set beneath the horizon, was this the last time he'd see his home? If it was just the fire that had destroyed WindClan camp, then the grass and shrubs would have grown back by New-Leaf.
But no, that stupid Zodiac Otterpaw had to drown their camp to make it look like a mini lake.
"You know its not her fault" Ferretpaw looked up to see Sprucepaw lounging on the grass.
The cream striped tom snorted, "Then whose fault is it Sprucepaw? We never asked her to drown our camp, WindClan could have sorted it out by ourselves."
The brown apprentice sighed and rolled her eyes. "Otterpaw was only trying to help, don't you see that? Would you have preferred if she just did nothing and let our camp burn to cinders?".
Ferretpaw jerked his head, "Yes I would, at least then we could live in it eventually."
And now where were they supposed to live? At the Horse-Place!? Oh yes that's the perfect place for kits to be raised and apprentices to be trained, just watch out for the horses!
"I still don't think everyone should blame her" Sprucepaw confessed as she tucked her paws underneath her small body, "I mean she was only trying to help, and everyone acts like she's some sort of a freak. We're Zodiac's too."
"I know we're Zodiac's" Ferretpaw snapped, "But we don't go around burning or drowning other clans homes, they did. I just think that they need to pay for what they did, especially Otterpaw."
Not another word came out of Sprucepaw, as she only turned and padded back to the traveling cats. Ferretpaw knew that his friend thought Otterpaw was trying to help, but she was only saying that because they were friends.
As the clan of WindClan soon made a temporary home near the fields of Twoleg Place, Thistlestar set guards up to watch for intruders. Not only were they close to WindClan territory, but dogs as well.
As indigo light illuminated the scattered clouds in the sky, Ferretpaw knew it was only a matter of time before night fell.
And then I'm going to make that stupid cat pay for destroying my home, Ferretpaw was going to travel to RiverClan tonight.

Like a diving falcon, Ferretpaw flashed through the dark moor, his cream and brown pelt nothing more than a blur. He loved the feeling of racing across open land, he felt free to do whatever he wanted.
And he was going to do what he wanted now, he was going to show Otterpaw that she can't just destroy a clans home and get away with it. Thistlestar may have been distracted with ThunderClan, but it was RiverClan who were the ones to pay.
Hiding behind a large Rowan Tree, Ferretpaw spotted the rivers surrounding RiverClan camp.
"Just my luck" he meowed with a hint of darkness, as his eyes lay upon a cat fishing in the stream.
Otterpaw.
What were the chances of her being only fox-lengths away from Ferretpaw? He was meant to seek revenge for WindClan. Bunching his muscles in the shadows, Ferretpaw streaked in a blur of cream fur and appeared right next to Otterpaw.
"Holy StarClan!" she shrieked, realizing Ferretpaw stood beside her. "What are you doing here?" Otterpaw looked at him inquisitively, "Is Sprucepaw here?".
Ferretpaw bared his fangs, "No she's not here! But I am so listen up!".
Instantly Otterpaw realized something was wrong, and eyed the flowing river next to her.
"You destroyed my camp and now you're going to pay for it!" letting the anger unleash itself, Ferretpaw dove forward like a flash at Otterpaw. But he only hit ground as the Zodiac dove into the rushing water, swimming underneath its surface.
Well at least I know what her power is, although this could cause problems for Ferretpaw.
But she couldn't stay down there forever, and when she did Ferretpaw was going to be there. Leaping into the air jumping from stone to stone, the apprentice could faintly see Otterpaw underneath the rushing water.
She as almost as fast as him, but no one in the whole forest could beat Ferretpaw in a race. And just at that moment Ferretpaw noticed Otterpaw surfacing only a fox-length away, and dove forward.
But the tom stopped mid-flight as a rock came shooting out of the ground, knocking him out instantly
