HOLY CRAP. OVER 1,000 VIEWS WHAT?! WATTTTT?! *dies*
Umm...sorry 'bout that...
Hey everyone! I am here with Hawkpaw's backstory part 2. Now I know you might be thinking, what the HECK is going on?! Well, I will be explaining that to you right now.
1.) Hawkpaw is NOT the main character. She is the main character's mom.
2.) The main clan is not MagmaClan. It's surprisingly CloudClan.
3.) Yes, MagmaClan does live in a volcano.
Hopefully that clears things up. Now, on with the story!
"Ravenpaw! Foxpaw! Where are you?!" Hawkpaw runs up the mountains, dodging ferns and bushes. This wouldn't be a problem is she had more MagmaClan traits. Any normal cat could've burns through all of the growth.
She could feel the scrapes forming on her legs from rushing through so many trees and ferns. "This is useless… I need to get there faster!" Hawkpaw says, looking around for some way to go faster. All that was there was were trees, bushes, vines and boulders. Hawkpaw smirks. "That's it! Boulders!" She spots a giant boulder to her right, and climbed up on it. She slams her paw on the surface of the rock. It reforms into a small stone bridge stretching across towards camp. Hopefully the clan doesn't see this… Hawkpaw thinks. She runs onto the bridge and towards camp.
"Dive!" Ravenpaw yells as one of the badgers' claws slams into the ground. "Get outta here you filthy badger!" Foxpaw yells as his claws sink into the badger's leg. The heat emitting from his body sears into the badger's skin. It lets out a loud screech and falls to the ground. Candlepaw cheers.
"Can we eat it?" she asks.
"No, you mousebrain!" Ravenpaw snaps.
"Aww…." Candlepaw moans. "I wanted to know how it tasted!"
Ravenpaw sighs. "We can't hold off much longer…" Pinepaw says. "Robinfeather and I can't keep up with all the injured cats." Ashenpaw's head perks up. "I know a bit about herbs. Can I help?" Pinepaw nods.
"We need all the help we can get." The two young apprentices head towards the medicine cat's den. "Everyone!" a small voice yells. Foxpaw looks over. "Sapphirepaw! You're back!" The small she-cat pads over to the others. "INCOMING!" a voice yells as a badger slams into the ground. Sapphirepaw instinctively dodges it while the rest of them scramble to move out of the way.
"We finished up at the west border. We were going to go to the south to check up on Hawkpaw, but we decided to stop here first." She sighs and looks around. "It looks like it was the right choice." Coalfang says. "Dad!" Foxpaw exclaims and runs up to him. "Watch out!" Candlepaw yells as a badger claw heads towards Sapphirepaw. She rushes out of the way as the claw breaks the rock underneath.
"There's some behind us as well!" Foxpaw yells.
"And to the left!" Sapphirepaw says.
"We're surrounded!" Ravenpaw screeches.
The apprentices back up to the point where the run into each other as the badgers surround them. Two of the badgers lunge for Candlepaw. The small cat screams in terror. Suddenly, three flashes of red attacks the badger, knocking it over. "Who is that?" Foxpaw asks. The cats slash at the badger's face, blinding it. Sapphirepaw's eyes widen. "Is that…?"
"Flamemoon! Suntalon!" Ravenpaw exclaims. "And Cloveleaf too!" Foxpaw squeals.
"We'll hold them off for now." Suntalon yells, fending off the attacking badgers. The apprentices run off to a corner, thinking of what to do.
"We can't just sit around and do nothing! It's not fair they get to do all the fighting!" Foxpaw whines. The rest of the cats join in complaining, while Ravenpaw stays silent. She watches the three warriors fighting the badgers. "Ravenpaw?" Sapphirepaw asks.
"I think I have an idea…" Ravenpaw mutters.
"Then spit it out already!" Foxpaw says.
"I came up with a strategy on how to defeat the badgers, but I'm not entirely sure it will work. One cat will distract it, while two cats attack the legs. Then, another cat climbs up its back, and blinds it. It's risky, but it might just work."
"Candlepaw, you'll distract it since you're the fastest. Foxpaw and Sapphire paw will attack the legs. Since I'm the smallest, I'll go after the eyes. Ready?" Ravenpaw says. The three apprentices nod. "Then, let's get started!" Ravenpaw yells.
Hawkpaw looks down at the other apprentices fighting. "Ravenpaw must've come up with that strategy." She mutters. Suddenly, Ravenpaw gets knocked off the badger after blinding it, and it starts clawing at her in agony. Hawkpaw was about to go help them, when a flash of doubt runs in her mind. It seemed as if time itself stopped. What will they think of me when I attack? What if they hate me? Will I get exiled?! Hawkpaw shakes her head. Nothing meant more to her than her friends and family. "I can't let them down!" Hawkpaw says. The badger starts to take a giant swipe at her sister.
"RAVENPAW!" Hawkpaw yells and slams in the middle of the badger and Ravenpaw. She pounds her paw on the ground. A mound of rock shoots up from beneath the badger, flinging it into the air. It slams on the ground, creating a small crater.
"Hawk…paw?" Ravenpaw says, gasping for air. She was badly hurt. "I'm here Ravenpaw…" Hawkpaw sooths.
"Candlepaw, take her to Robinfeather now. Go!" Hawkpaw yells.
"Sapphirepaw, take out the smaller ones. They're faster but their blows are weaker."
"Foxpaw, go to the kit's dens. The badgers are heading to there now."
"As for me, I'll take on the big ones." Hawkpaw orders. Sapphirepaw and Candlepaw just stand there, gawking. "You're…part EarthClan?" Sapphirepaw says. "Don't just stand there, get a move on!" Hawkpaw yells. Foxpaw sighs. "That's my sister…" Foxpaw says. The three of them head off, leaving Hawkpaw with the badgers. "Let's get this show on the road…" Hawkpaw mutters and lunges for the badgers.
