option two, talk to the mysterious cat

"What are you doing here, little kitty? Did a cat get your tongue?" The voice rose as Barkpaw lay eyes at the dark corner of the medicine cat den.

Barkpaw's fur rose as he mewed, "What are you doing here with Lilypetal?"

"Sometimes, you really need to care about your own business. Keep your mouth shut so you can keep your life." The low pitched hiss made Barkpaw shiver, but he managed to look straight into the shadow.

"What-"

"It is not my time to explain. You will never understand."

"Why-"

"We need a revolution. WindClan will be stronger than ever." An amber eye shone in the dark, "Under another leadership. We need to change."

"Shadedstar is the best leader in WindClan. If you are going to-"

The sentence was cut short as Barkpaw came crashing on the ground with a loud slump. He glanced around cautiously and tried to stand up. It was too late. 

He felt something land on him and pain shot up like a flame. He winced and he was pinned on the ground. Dust and dirt flying, pain slithered up his body like wildfire. Barkpaw bit back a yell. He could hear his heart racing as dizziness filled up his head.

"What did you just say again?" The tom grinned as his paws were put firmly on Barkpaw's throat. Once he pressed further, there would be no chance that Barkpaw would survive. The shadow fell on the tom as his smile made Barkpaw's stomach twitch and turn. He stared hard at the tom as thick tension filled the room.

Blood rang in Barkpaw's ears as his breath became shallow and weak. The tom glanced at him with pride as his eyes fell hungrily on his bare neck. Barkpaw kicked and rolled but it was no use. His twisted leg refused to co-operate.

"What did you just say again?" The tom repeated as Barkpaw could feel his breath linger on his bare neck.

>> "N-nothing!"

>> "What do you mean?"

>> "Yes, Shadedstar is the best leader of WindClan"
