Branchstar looked at Darkvine and sighed, "Innocent." Heatherpaw, Brightpaw, and Maplepaw crowded their father, smiling. Other cats disbursed through the clearing. Branchstar looked at the dark warrior and his eyes narrowed. Was this the correct choice?

     The camp was quiet, as if held in suspension. Who would be the next lifeless corpse in the middle of the camp? As the clan started to wake, a loud wail came from the entrance of the camp. Branchstar bounded into the clearing, his fur bristling. As he looked around, he saw Stonepaw limping into camp. His hind leg had been clawed. "Stonepaw!" Fawnpaw yelped as she ran torwards her den mate. The tom collapsed in the clearing. Branchstar leaned down to sniff the young apprentice. He then recognized a scent. Sniffing down his paws, he stared at Stonepaw's unseathed claws. Branchstar then spotted the black fur attached to his claws, the scent nearly masked with blood. "Blackflower's fur is on Stonepaw's claws!" Branchstar hissed and turned to the queen. "W-what!" She whimpered, crouching low to the ground. "Traitor!" Darkvine hissed, baring his teeth at the she-cat. "Stop!" Branchstar hissed at the dark warrior, "This may be a trick from the traitor to pit us against eachother." Some of the cats looked at eachother, not exactly believing their leader. "We shall hold a vote to decide Blackflower's fate." The leader decided, "If enough believe she is innocent, she will stay. If more believe she is guilty, she will be cast out of our clearing."
