Hey Wolf Master here, I've decided to just stop the pole and just get on with the story. ENJOY OR DIE! Not LITERALY! Also I'm not up dating again until I get at least 6 new reviews. I have at this many reviews 17. Also, something weird is going on with my computer so I apologize if there are any huge gaps. Just skip them.
Chapter 9: Lionblaze's suspicions. Jay's Wing's skills.
It had been 16 sunrises since Jayfeather's deal with Half Moon. He still snuck into camp, but got a little more sleep. But he reeked of Half Moon, (Giggty) it wasn't a bad thing for him, he loved her scent, but it was harder to sneak around or avoid questioning. Sometimes he would run into a patrol tracking the scent, or someone would stop and ask him about the scent. And now he had to get up earlier to wash the scent of and then dry off.
His excused got him far, but we couldn't avoid Lionblaze's doubts and concerns. He knew something was up.
Today, Bramblestar was tired of all the reports of a strange smell so he decided that in 3 days a patrol will look for the scent. Jayfeather hastily volunteered to help, concerned for Half Moon, with the excuse he had a better skill set to track it and for somehow he wakes with the scent in his nose. After that Lionblaze met with him.
"So, Jayfeather, that was pretty smart of you volunteering for the patrol. Seeing how you know the scent." Lionblaze meowed.
"Uh, yeah I've smelt it for a while," Jayfeather meowed. "Plus my blindness enhances my smell."
"Ok then," when everyone had cleared Lionblaze softly growled. "Ok, now cut the dung Jayfeather, what in Starclan's name is going on with you, who is she?"
Jayfeather was shocked, How does know?
"What do mean?" Jayfeather questioned.
"I know when you're lying Jayfeather, I recognize the scent, is it Half Moon, that ancient cat?"
"How do you,…. I mean what are you," Jayfeather started, "….. You know her?
"Know her, I fought next to her, she was a skilled she cat who helped me during the final battle, I saw you and her touch! I heard her call you love, I saw your concern for her! I know you care about her, you deliberately defied the code!" Lionblaze growled. Jayfeather was completely stunned, but Lionblaze wasn't done. "You broke the code, keep a secret, and repeated the mistake we loathed our mother for. Of all cats I never thought you would stoop so low as to become mates with a worthless dead cat!"
Suddenly Jayfeather felt an anger he never felt before, but it was something else or more of someone else.
"SHE IS NOT WORTHLESS YOU PIECE OF BAGER DUNG, IFANYTHING IT'S YOU YOU SORRY EXCUSE OF A WARRIOR!" Jayfeather growled/yowled. For half a second Jayfeather change, his face grew slightly older, his claws and teeth grew longer. Lionblaze notice this and back up. Shocked even more with Jayfeather's response that his slight appearances change. Then a vision flashed in front of Jayfeather, there were three cats, he was in the rear. He recognized them to be Stone Song, Dawn River, and Jagged Lighting. They were leading him up one of the trails in the forest.
"So, what do think, Jay's Wing, now that the badgers took over? What do think it will be like?" asked Jagged Lighting. Jay's Wing playfully purred, in a slightly lower, more menacing voice, one that Jayfeather didn't recognize.
"I think this is going to be fun. Me against 5 adult badgers. I have the advantage, you take out the kits then dive the remaining away when I'm done." Jay's Wing replied.
"Ok, let's move," Stone Song meowed. The patrol started up the hill. Then they reached a small over look. Down below was a badger version of the Thunderclan camp. Jay's Wing looked at the others and nodded, they started down the left side of the hill. Then Jay's Wing roared. It sounded like a lion roaring. Then he jump. And Jayfeather watched as Jay's Wing jumped flipped and twirled around. Blood and badger fur flying everywhere, where as Jay's Wing dodged every attack. He felt the adrenaline, he tasted blood, for some reason he liked the taste, his claws were blurs as the slashed the badger, then the others jumped and started murdering kits and elders. He watched in horror, but felt a weird twisted pleasure. Then his vision cleared he saw Lionblaze again. He looked shocked, Jayfeather still felt angry, yet horrified from what he just saw.
"Lionblaze, I've got to go," Jayfeather meowed.
"Ok," Lionblaze meowed. Jayfeather pelted off to see Sagemind. Jayfeather ran through camp to the warrior den.
"SAGEMIND!" Jayfeather yowled as he skid to a halt. Sagemind emerged from the den
"Yes, son I sensed it, tell me what it was, what did you see?" Sagemind meowed calmly. Jayfeather explained his vision; "Hmmm, I see," Sagemind paused. "What you saw was a vision of Jay's Wing."
"Jay's Wing? But… wasn't he like me?" Jayfeather asked.
"Yes, but he was also a amazing warrior. The strongest, most skilled, and vicious warrior ever. He could take on an entire camp of badgers and foxes and win without a scratch. He knew techniques no one had ever heard off. He could roar like a lion, and never seemed to run out of energy. I believe that his battle rush and skill is locked up inside you. Unsure why it didn't surface during the last battle, but all else aside. You must be careful to avoid conflict until we are curtain how it will react."
Jayfeather couldn't believe it, the skills of the best warrior were in him, but he didn't like it. He saw how Jay's Wing fought, like a Bloodclan murderer. He would have to warn Half Moon.
"Thank you, Sagemind." Jayfeather meowed. That night Jayfeather snuck out to see Half Moon. The entire way he was thinking about what Sagemind told him. Is it possible that I have Jay's Wings skills in me? Was he the viscous cat in my vision? Or was he a noble warrior? Was he like me or am I like him? Was I suppose to be a blood thirst warrior? Did Starclan blind me for that reason? His vision returned. He dashed the thought when Half Moon's lovely scent hit him. He went into the tunnel. He came into the clearing. Half Moon was waiting for him. He smiled at her, she turned to face him, a concerned look on her face.
"Did you really have a vision of him? Did you change?" She asked. He was stunned, How did she know so quickly?
"What?" Jayfeather asked. Half Moon looked down.
"I felt you change into Jay's Wing's viscous side. Then I felt a disturbance, your vision." She looked at him.
"Well, me and Sagemind will figure it out," Jayfeather meowed. She still looked upset. "You know, it's only 5 days before I fulfill my promise." She looked up and smiled.
"Yeah."
"There's a patrol that's going to look for you, but I'll lead them to the edge so they think you left." Jayfeather meowed.
She smiled and muzzled him.
"Thank you Jay's Wing." He pressed his flank against hers.
"You have nothing to worry about love," He meowed softly.
They spent a little time-sharing tongues before they cuddled and fell asleep.
Three days came before anyone knew. The patrol was heading out. The cats in the patrol were Bramblestar, Lionblaze, Squirrelflight, Sagemind, and of course, Jayfeather. Jayfeather was nearing the patrol to edge of the territory.
"Just a little farther!" He cried to the others. The patrol was moving at a steady pace.
"Are sure this is the scent trail? It seems like we've been walking in circles!" Squirrelflight yowled.
"Yes were almost….. wait." The whole patrol stopped. Jayfeather sniffed the air. The scent was unmistakable, but before he could warn the patrol.
"Attack!" Just then, a six rouge cats jumped out of the shrubbery.
"Jayfeather, fall back!" Bramblestar instantly cried as the cats swarmed them. He took off. As he ran, the cries of battle got louder and louder, soon he couldn't run. He felt a roar building and something trying to pry him open and emerge. He started panting and weird gangling noises were forming. His teeth and claws grew and he felt a dark desire for blood and battle. He yowled as the force took over.
Meanwhile Bramblestar was slashing left and right as the rouges numbers had doubled. He was about to order retreat when they all hear a roar, like a lion. The clearing grew quiet and all stared in it's direction. Then Jayfeather burst out of the brushes roaring. He pounced onto the nearest rouge, he grab him and flipped, sinking his teeth into his neck, snapping it as he flung the dead rouge. He jumped and spun 360, claws out slashing 3 of the rouges faces before back flipping, grip the scruffs of the rouges as the flipped onto their backs, then Jay's Wing brought down his claws, puncturing straight through their throats. Retracting his bloody claws, he leaped at the next rouge and yowled.
"DIE YOU WANDIERING BAGER DUNG!" He leaped at the next one, ripping his throat open with his claws, as blood surged from the wound the rest fled. The Thunderclan patrol was staring in aw and fear. Jayfeather felt the battle lust leave him. And when the shock of what he just did came to him. He fainted.
