Fireheart's Betrayal part 14

Tigerstar awoke to see sunlight streaming into his den. He got to his paws and exited his den. The sun was just beginning to rise, and the sky was a beautiful mix of reds and yellows. Tigerstar saw Dustpelt standing near High Rock with the rest of the Clan surrounding him. The ThunderClan deputy mewed, "Sandstorm, you can take Brackenfur and Swiftcloud on the dawn patrol. As for a hunting patrol..."
Tigerstar cut him off. "I'll lead a hunting patrol." He wanted to check for Ravenpaw's scent.
Dustpelt dipped his head. "Very well."
Tigerstar scanned the crowd and mewed, "Boulder, Fireheart, and Darkstripe, come with me." He waited for his patrol to gather, then he walked off inti the forest with his Clanmates following him.
They were passing Twolegplace when Tigerstar noticed a strange scent. It was not Ravenpaw's scent, but it was the scent of a rouge. And that rouge wasn't far away! He hissed to his patrol, "Enemy cat nearby. Keep quiet and attack on my signal." Each cat nodded, though Boulder looked a little hesitent.
Tigerstar followed the scent untill he spotted a gray cat sitting with his back to the ThunderClan leader. Tigerstar crouched low to the ground, eyes fixed on the gray rouge. He let out a fearsome yowl and exploded out of the shadows. He knocked the startled tom to the ground, and Fireheart and Darkstripe leaped onto the rouge as well. The rouge yowled in pain as Tigerstar dug his fangs into the rouge's shoulder.
"Stop!"'
Tigerstar looked up to see Boulder staring at the gray rouge. The ThunderClan leader snarled at Boulder, "I ordered you to attack!"
Boulder padded closer and said, "Tigerstar, I know this cat. He's a friend of mine. Please let him go!"
The cat stood up, shaking some leaves from his pelt. There wasn't any fear in his eyes, and he looked at Tigerstar with an eager sort of awe. "You must be Tigerstar."
Tigerstar glared distrustingly at the three-legged tom. "How do you know my name?" He snarled.
The tom looked surprised. "Who has not heard of you, greatest of the Clan leaders? All the cats in BloodClan are talking about you. They say you are the equal even of Scourge!" There was excitement in his voice as he spoke.
Tigerstar tried not to feel too flattered, and failed. "I'm glad to hear it." He rumbled in his deep voice.
The tom continued, "My name is Storm. Once, I was a member of BloodClan, but for a few days now I've been trying to find the Clans."
"Why?" Darkstripe hissed distrustingly.
Storm mewed excitedly, "I wanna join ThunderClan! I've heard so much about the warrior code and how brave your warriors are, and how your all protect each other! I wanna be a part of it!" He looked down at his stump of a leg resentfully. "I may not be able to run as fast as other cats, or fight as well, but I can still be useful. I can still hunt, and I know every square inch of twolegplace." His eyes were shining with excitement. "Well, what do you say? Can I join?"
Tigerstar evaluted the three-legged cat silently. It was true, he wouldn't be much use in a battle. But not all usefullness came from the use of claws. His knowledge of twolegplace would be extremely useful in moons to come, and his blind awe of Tigerstar would make him easily influencable. Besides, he could hardly say no after allowing half of ShadowClan to join his Clan.
"Okay, you're in."
