Chapter 4 | Shadows od Deception

As Tigerpaw and Catniss led their patrol along the border of ThunderClan territory, a sense of foreboding hung heavy in the air. The forest seemed eerily quiet, as if even the wind dared not disturb the uneasy peace.

Tigerpaw's senses were on high alert, every rustle of leaves and snap of twigs setting his fur on end. He couldn't shake off the feeling that they were being watched, that Zerø's malevolent gaze lingered on them from the shadows.

Suddenly, Irina's voice broke through the silence. "Tigerpaw, look!" she exclaimed, her gaze fixed on a series of claw marks etched into the bark of a nearby tree.

Tigerpaw approached cautiously, his heart pounding in his chest. The claw marks were unmistakably fresh, a chilling reminder of Zerø's presence in their territory.

"We need to find out where these markings lead," Tigerpaw said, his voice tense with urgency. "Catniss, Irina, spread out and search for any other signs of Zerø's presence."

With determined nods, Catniss and Irina set off, their eyes scanning the forest floor for any clues. Tigerpaw's heart raced as he followed the trail of claw marks, each step bringing them closer to the heart of the mystery.

Suddenly, a low growl echoed through the trees, freezing Tigerpaw in his tracks. Before he could react, a shadowy figure emerged from the undergrowth, its eyes gleaming with malice.

Zerø.

Tigerpaw's muscles tensed as he faced his enemy, his claws unsheathed and his gaze unwavering. "What do you want, Zerø?" he demanded, his voice ringing with defiance.

Zerø's lips curled into a sinister grin. "I want nothing more than to see ThunderClan fall," he hissed, his voice dripping with venom. "And with you out of the way, Tigerpaw, that dream will soon become a reality."

With a snarl, Zerø lunged forward, his claws slashing through the air with deadly precision. Tigerpaw braced himself for the attack, his heart pounding with adrenaline as he prepared to defend his clan against the forces of darkness.
