Mysticstar’s Fearlessness (Chapter 3)
Chapter 3
“F-f-f-fox!” Mystickit shrieked. She didn’t care if she didn’t get caught. At least she wouldn’t get killed
by a fox.
“Mystickit?” Cloudtuft shouted back. He must have gone on patrol. Mystickit thought. “Is that you?”
“Yes!” She yowled. “There’s a fox in front of me!” The small kit kept backing up as the fox slowly
walked forward, snarling and dripping drool from its jaws. “I’m coming!” Cloudtuft yowled. He burst
through the bushes behind the fox and leaped onto its back, completely catching the fox o guard. It
yelped as Cloudtuft scarred it’s back. The fox shook, trying to throw o the tom, but failed.
“Mystickit! Get back to camp! I can handle this!” Mystickit hesitated. What if the fox gets him? I’ll be
alone… but she still ran, following her fathers orders.
Once she reached the camp, Honeyfeather was there. She was right at the entrance and was looking
down at Mystickit with disappointment in her gaze. “Mystickit, your father will be so pissed at me
because of where you went! I was trusted to protect you and now you went and could’ve gotten
attacked by a fox!”
“Well, the thing is,” Mystickit said fearfully looking, “I was attacked by a fox…”
“YOU WHAT?!” Honeyfeather screeched.
“What’s going on, Honeyfeather?” Pinefall asked as he walked up to them. He didn’t notice Mystickit.
“MYSTICKIT, snuck out of camp and got attacked by a fox!” Pinefall nally noticed her and squeaked
before running away. Why’s he avoiding me all of a sudden? “Honeyfeather, I need to speak with
Pinefall, so I need your help keeping him in the medicine den so I can speak to him.”
“Um sure I guess?” Honeyfeather replied, all anger leaving her body in a second.
They walked to the medicine den, and Pinefall was there, organizing herbs. After Mystickit walked in
and Honeyfeather was at the entrance, she nally said quickly, “Pinefall, please don’t run away, I want
to talk to you.” He looked up and looked at the entrance where Honeyfeather was. He then looked at
Mystickit with fear in his eyes. “You don’t understand, you don’t know what Coldstar said to me…” he
whispered, sounding like a maniac. “What did he say?” Mystickit replied. “Look, I can’t speak with you
anymore. He said I musn’t ever say anything to you ever again, I just can’t or he…” he breathed in
shakily. “He said he would kill me…” Coldstar is such an unjust leader… something is wrong I can tell.
“Look Pinefall its ok… me and Honeyfeather won’t let him kill you.”
“But he…” Pinefall gulped. “He threatened my family… you’re just a kit how can you help?” Mystickit
sighed. “I don’t know but I’ll try.” Honeyfeather came in and said, “Coldstar’s coming, hide!”
“What about you?”
“I’ll be ne. I’ll pretend that I’m here for a scar.”
“Ok I’ll hide.” Mystickit found a moss bed, and knew she was small enough to t under, and her
shadow colored pelt would make her look like a shadow.
“Honeyfeather! You’re supposed to be taking care of Mystickit!” Coldstar growled. “Well, she wanted to
go into the forest for a little bit, so you might nd her there.”
“Whatever. You need to leave I would like to speak with Pinefall,” He paused. “Alone.” Mystickit
gulped. What did he want to say to him…? Mystickit heard Honeyfeather leaving the den. Oh what is
happening to this clan? Mystickit thought worriedly. “So Pinefall.” Coldstar said. “I saw you speaking to
Mystickit again.”
“Well Coldstar I couldn’t… she insisted…”
“Don’t pull your excuses on me Pine!” Mystickit heard a squeak from Pinefall and peaked to see
Coldstar standing over him. “Remember why you’re here rogue.” Mystickit froze. Rogue? But she had
to keep listening. “You are at my mercy, and I can let you go any time I like.”
“Y-Y-Yes Coldstar.” Pinefall said shakily. “Good.” Coldstar left the den. Once Coldstar was back in his
own leaders den, Pinefall moved towards Mystickit who was backing away from him. “Look Mystickit
I’m sorry…” he said sadly. “How could you keep this secret from me?! Why are you here?! Why did
Coldstar call you a rogue?!”
“Look, I can tell you just stop shouting or he’ll come back.” Mystickit stopped moving. “Just listen to
what I’m going to tell you…”
