Chapter 28: Exiled

Chapter 28: Exiled

     "Yeah Doveheart, shut up and be nice!"  Bladepaw hissed.  "You've caused enough misery to us!  WhisperClan would be better off with you dead!"  Scratchwhisker growled.  Doveheart fought back the urge to burst into tears.  I didn't mean to yell!  It wasn't my fault the mouse got away!  Doveheart thought sadly.  "You shut up!"  Doveheart hissed, "You filthy mangepelts need to pick on someone your own size;  how about a vole!?"
"DOVEHEART!"  Foxstar hissed, "Don't pick on Bladepaw and Scratchwhisker!  They're much younger than you!  This is your last warning!"
"But-" Doveheart began.  "No buts!"  Foxstar hissed, "Control your temper or become an apprentice again!  I'm not afraid to do it!"  Doveheart sulked sadly.  Foxstar doesn't know the half of it!  Scratchwhisker and Bladepaw combined don't have the brains of a piece of grass!  They pick on me, not the other way around!  Doveheart sulked back to camp, then cast a final glare at the two.  When Foxstar left Doveheart's view, Scratchwhisker sneered at Doveheart.  Doveheart couldn't help but let out a growl.  Then, before she knew what she was doing, she lunged at Scratchwhisker.  As her claws met his back, she stopped.  What am I doing???? "I'm...I'm,"  Doveheart couldn't let out the words.  Scratchwhisker stared at her.  "FOXSTAR!!!!!!"  Bladepaw ran off screeching.  Uh oh.  Foxstar came rushing into the area.  When she saw Scratchwhisker, lying on the ground, her eyes met Doveheart's.  Her eyes were full of hatred.  "She, she..."  Scratchwhisker began.  "Bladepaw told me the whole story," Foxstar growled, "You'd always picked on him, yelling death threats when no one could hear,"
 Doveheart stared at her in surprise.  "I would never," she began.
"and you lunged at Scratchwhisker, who just became a warrior!  Only the best of the best warriors earn the name heart.  I wish I never made you a warrior!"
Doveheart stared at her leader in shock.  "I can explain, Foxstar..." she began.
"No need,"  Foxstar growled, "I am exiling you from WhisperClan."
Even Scratchwhisker and Bladepaw looked shocked.  Dovefeather couldn't move.  "You heard me!"  Foxstar yelled, "Be gone!!!!!"
Doveheart raced off into the woods.  She didn't dare look back.  As soon as she felt like she'd run forever, she collapsed on the ground.  Now what?  I can't ever go back to WhisperClan, or any other clan.  I guess the first step is to get some food...
