Chapter 2

Zephyr's eyes fluttered open and she couldn't believe what she saw. She was in a terrain that was all white. She thought at first she died and went to the Spirit World but realized the white terrain was really a snowy mountain…wait, a snowy mountain? She sat straight up and saw the mountain's peak. How in Kitsune's name did she get here? Zephyr closed her eyes tight, trying to remember how she got there. It took a moment, but the only thing that she can remember is the blood-red eyed shadow and someone getting the last piece of the Warrior's Paw.

I must have gotten knocked out when we were fighting that thing and took us with him when it or one of the girls got it.' Thought Zephyr preying-she never hopes- that one of the girls-at least Maxx- got the Paw. "And prey to Kitsune that Amara is all right." She said out loud. Just after she said that, a loud roar echoed in the mountain. Zephyr's ears perked up; trying to pin point the exact location of the sound. There was another roar; Zephyr got out her boe staff, still trying to find where the sound was coming from. She then heard a loud thump right behind her. Slowly she turned around, right there, in front of her was a giant mechanical cat. Its body was all black with metallic grey paws with very sharp claws and evil glowing yellow eyes. The cat roared in her face.

Zephyr slowly waved her and side to side while saying "Do me a big favor and please get a breath mint." The cat pulled its neck back and made its attack. Zephyr gasped but managed to dodge his attack. She dodged another and another. The cat made a final attack and got her on her right side. Zephyr screamed in pain and covered her wound, but still was on her guard. She felt her blood gushing out on to her hand as it landed on the sugar white snow. She could almost see a cruel smile on the cat's face.

The cat backed her up to the mountain wall; there was no escape. Still covering her wound, she whispered "to die…would be an awfully big adventure," while closing her eyes, waiting for the attack. The cat pulled its neck back, Zephyr braced herself with her ears tucked backed.

Zephyr: glares at me if you kill me, I will haunt you.

Fox: sweatdrops No, No I won't, but I can't spoil a cliffhanger now can I?

Zephyr: still glaring fine...backs down

Fox: whew- review please.
