We're approaching the end of this story... but don't worry! I'm gonna make a sequel! (sp?)
Disclaimer: I don't own Warriors.
After a few miles, the cats were completely out of the city. There were Twoleg nests now, not towers. The smell of multiple cats wafted towards the travelers. Ratpaw was sure of where she was going now. She followed the scent, and the cats came across six cats, talking in urgent whispers. Tsunamipaw motioned for the others to come hide behind a bush downwind. They followed him quickly.
"No! Snow! We must attack now! We can't wait, we've waited too long!" An orange tom hoarsely told a white she-cat, who Ratpaw assumed was named Snow.
"Marsh! be reasonable! We are only six, ThunderClan is many!" She spat back at him.
"Hey, boss, I think I smell someone!" A dark tabby sniffed the air.
"Let's go check it out, Branch." A black and white she-cat growled.
"Hello."
The cats jumped around and gasped. A huge tortoiseshell tom smiled evilly at them. The cat called Branch cornered Whitepelt. She swiped a paw across his face, leaving bleeding scratches. "Branch, Badger, leave 'em. We'll bring 'em to Snow and Marsh."
"Okay, Viper," The black and white she-cat and dark tabby tom replied.
"Emerald! Come 'ere!" Viper cried. Snow and Marsh looked up, and, interested, sauntered over. A black she-cat with bright green eyes, no doubt where she got her name, bounded over. Ashfur recognized their scent. It was something he had forgotten about.
"BloodClan!"
"Yessss," Viper hissed,"We are the last. We were merely apprentices when your Firestar destroyed the great Scourge. You will pay!"
Ratpaw lunged at Marsh, while Tsunamipaw, being the largest of the four, took on Viper. Whitepelt attacked Branch, and Ashfur fought off both Emerald and Snow. Snarling, Ratpaw dug her sharp claws into Marsh's back. He retalliated by using his front paw to claw a deep scratch on the inside of her back leg. She yowled in pain and released her grip. Taking advantage of her momentary weakness, Marsh clawed her side before Ratpaw wriggled from under his paws. Latching on to his back again, she made sure her legs were well out of his reach. She delivered a killing bite to his neck like she would if she were hunting a vole. Marsh collapsed to the ground beneath her.
Ratpaw looked around to see how her friends were faring. Tsunamipaw and Viper were still in a struggle. Ashfur was fighting Emerald, but there was no sign of Snow. Whitepelt was finishing off Branch-- it looked like he was about ready to give up. One cat remained.
Where was Badger?
The answer came all too soon. An outraged black and white she-cat barreled into Ratpaw's clawed-up side. "This is for Marsh, my mate!" She cried, her voice filled with sorrow. She brought up her front paw and unsheathed her claws. Badger was a big cat, and Ratpaw was unusually small, giving the other cat the advantage. Badger brought her claws down on Ratpaw's head. The force caused a pounding headache and the claws caused bleeding around her ears, nose and left cheek. Ratpaw didn't think she could take anymore. Twisting so her belly faced her attacker (not a very smart move if you didn't have in mind what Ratpaw did), she unsheathed her claws and scratched Badger's chin, neck and belly. Digging her claws in, Ratpaw used all the force she had to spring forward and knock Badger to the ground. Badger's amber eyes filled with fear. She wriggled away from Ratpaw and bounded towards the woods. Ratpaw caught a glimpse of Snow's white fur and looked around once more. Branch was dead, and so was Emerald. Viper struggled away from Tsunamipaw and dashed to Snow and Badger.
Ratpaw's vision clouded, then she eventually fell to the ground, unconsious.
I like the way this chapter turned out. Review, please!
