Chapter 9

"Burn! Stop!" Slash was calling from behind Shadow. Shadow was clenching his claws in the dirt, holding himself from breaking the fight.
"Burn!" he tried to call her away. Songpaw was sitting beside him, her tail wrapped around her paws, watching with satisfaction.
Burn was lashing out at Splashwing, her claws extended. The medicine cat was pinned beneath her, trying to escape. The only thing that was visible in the old cat's eyes was fear as he stared into the purple eye.
Suddenly, she felt herself being shoved off of Splashwing. She wiggled underneath what held her down and she noticed it was Icepaw. She smelled of herbs, and anger was rippling off of her.
"What are you doing?" she tried to shove sense into Burn as she kept her to the ground. "You would never attack Splashwing! He was one of the cats that ever accepted you!" she was screaming into Burn's ear.
Burn started to breath more slowly and her eye began to dim. Suddenly, tears began to weld into her eyes and she let go, allowing Icepaw to run over to her mentor. Burn stood up, panting with effort as tears welted around her face.
"Splashwing? Splashwing!" Icepaw was above the tom, her eyes pleading. She ran to the nearest tree and grabbed a pawful of cobwebs that sat at the roots. She wrapped it around the many wounds found on his body.
Burn fell to the ground, her face in her paws. Slash was suddenly beside her, stroking her head with his paw. He wrapped his tail around her shoulder and she suddenly felt comforted. Songpaw and Shadow were in the same place they were, the tom's eyes filled with shock while Songpaw was looking at her paws.
"Splashwing, are you ok?" Icepaw's voice was getting shaky as she tried to wake the medicine cat. He shifted a bit, then winced at the pain.
Icepaw sighed with relief and started applying more herbs to him. Burn blinked away the tears that were building in her eyes and she stood up with Slash at her side. The tom was trying to comfort her, his eyes wide with worry as he let her lean on his shoulder.
"Leave," Icepaw's voice was soft as she tried to help her mentor. "Leave!" her voice rose with fury.
Burn nodded and grabbed the bundle of herbs that Icepaw had left for them. "The catmint is for greencough," she briefly explained. "And the lavender and borage is for the fevers and death scent."
Burn nodded, quietly taking the herbs in her mouth. She turned away before muttering through the herbs, "Thank you."
Icepaw ignored her, applying marigold to the wounds. Shadow helped Burn carry the leaves as they journeyed away from the battle site.

"Well, that escalated quickly," Slash broke the silence as night began to creep up. Shadow shot him a disapproved glance, but Burn ignored the comment.
"We should rest," Shadow finally said. At the words, Songpaw and Slash crashed to the ground.
"Good!" Songpaw exclaimed. "I thought my paws were going to fall off!"
"We should go hunting," Shadow continued to speak. "Songpaw, can you-"
"I am not Songpaw anymore," she interrupted. "I don't want to remember the horrible times I had with that clan."
Shadow looked surprised, but didn't say anything that would offend her. "Ok, what name do you have in mind?"
The former apprentice thought for a moment then slammed her paw to the grass, as if she had a brilliant idea. "Song that Dances with Breeze!" she seemed excited about the idea and Slash and Shadow began to look at each other with impressed looks.
"Great name!" Slash smiled. Song flicked her paw in the air like she was swatting away the compliment.
"Its nothing," she laughed a little.
Burn was sitting in the grass, looking up at the stars. I cant believe I attacked Splashwing…She thought with dismay. He was one of the cats that treated me like an actual being.
"Burn!" Slash called from his little group. "Are you ok?"
Burn sighed, turning away from Silver Pelt. "Yeah, I'm fine."
"Ok, want to come hunting with me and Song?" he sounded enthusiastic, for a cat that just walked for hours.
Burn smiled, pushing her problems to the back of her mind. "Sure."
Slash bounded away in front of her and couldn't fight the urge to chase him. They neared a large area of trees within minutes and warm scents of prey filled her nose. Her mouth watered as she realized how hungry she was.
"I smell a…" Slash sniffed the air, his eyes playful. "Mouse!" he darted ahead, then leaped onto a small rodent that squirmed beneath him. With on quick bite to the neck, it was dead.
"Nice catch!" Burn was impressed on how quickly he caught the mouse.
"Thanks," he meowed, his fur rising with embarrassment. "Now you go!"
Burn turned away from him, a smile stretched across her face. She spotted a movement under a leaf and stalked up to it before she leaped into the air and bit down hard.
"Ow!" a loud howl rang from in front of her. Burn let go to realize she had bitten down on a cat's tail and she scooted back, hoping it wouldn't notice.
It turned around quickly, its amber eyes full of anger. Burn slunk down, gulping. "Uh-sorry." She quickly said.
The angry cat stood up and raised its claw to attack her, but Slash came barreling from above her, slamming into the rogue. It screeched with fury as it tried to bat off the tom.
Slash leaped off of it, landing just next to Burn. "Run!" he urged.
They sprinted away from the cat, nearing the edge of the trees. Shadow and Song were in sight when the cat was at Burn's paws. She felt its hot breath and she leaped forward, trying not to trip.
"Shadow! Song!" Slash called. "Help!"
The two cats sharing tongues suddenly turned to see them running for their lives. They sprinted towards the action as they led the cat out into the open.
What emerged w
s the largest cat any of them had every seem, with short black fur and scars all along it's back and face.
It reared up, glaring at them. Burn ran behind Song and Shadow with Slash not far behind. Burn suddenly recognized the cat instantly and gasped with shock. "Its Deathspirit…"

And another Cliffie. I will be posting the next chapter really soon so you guys wont be waiting for too long! So, I hope you all enjoyed it! And Deathspirit is there... This could be one heck of a blood bath.

QUIZ: Why did Burn get so angry with Splashwing? Do the Guardians of the Stars (GoS) mean that much to her? Why was Song happy to see Burn attacking the medicine cat? Why didn't Slash or Shadow stop her? What is Deathspirit doing outside of his lair? Did he come to avenge Flame? Will Flame be with him? What about his other kits? Will they be there too?

STAY TUNED! And I will post really soon so no one will have to wait to long. So, tootles and thanks for reading!
By the way, sorry this chapter is so short. The next one will hopefully be longer!
