Chapter 6: Fight to stay alive

Ravenpaw ran as fast as his little paws could take him, leaping over the thick bramble and over-grown roots. The cries of his injured clan mates filled the air, as they echoed though the forest. He felt brush against the gorse-tunnel that marked the entrance of the camp. The camp was in devastation, cats lay limp on the ground, and their blood trailed the area.

Tigerclaw leapt on top of the high-rock to assist Bluestar who was in pitch combat with Brokenstar. Suddenly Brokenstar leapt onto Bluestar shrinking his teeth into her blue neck. Tigerclaw's fur bristled as he craned his neck backwards to grab the scruff of Brokenstar's neck. Instinctively Brokenstar dropped Bluestar's neck, and the two toms watched as the Thunderclan leader fell down off high-rock. Bluestar lay there still for the moment; Tigerclaw stared with glaring eyes at Bluestar's limp body.

"Bluestar!" cried Ravenpaw about to run over when a tabby brown tom attacked him from out of nowhere. Hissing and spiting Ravenpaw rolled over to shake the Shadowclan cat off. It was Brownpaw, a Shadowclan apprentice with blazing amber eyes.

Brownpaw pinned Ravenpaw to the ground and fascinated his teeth into Ravenpaw's neck. Ravenpaw screamed out in pain, as the Shadowclan apprentice let go of his neck, licking his lips.

Suddenly a blur of black fur brushed over Ravenpaw as Brownpaw suddenly disappeared. Ravenpaw jumped to his feet and looked to see Nightpaw had grabbed Brownpaw pulling him off Ravenpaw.

"Nightpaw, stop this madness," growled Brownpaw as Nightpaw gently placed him down. "He's the enemy," he explained gently. Nightpaw looked at Brownpaw and then Ravenpaw and then back to Brownpaw.

"But, Brownpaw, I-I can't let you…." Nightpaw's voice trailed off, unsure of what she wanted to say.

Brownpaw glared at her and then at Ravenpaw, his bristled angrily, and he jumped at Ravenpaw. He growled in the Thunderclan cats ear, "Don't you dare come near my Nightpaw again, Thunderclan slime." It was clear to Ravenpaw now that Brownpaw loved Nightpaw, and would never let him near her no matter how he or Nightpaw felt about the other.

Brokenstar let out a victorious cry before summoning his clan back home. All of Shadowclan emptied the decimated camp and headed to their home in the marsh.

Nightpaw glanced at Ravenpaw, her welled up with fearful and saddening tears. At that moment Ravenpaw wondered if he'd ever see the she-cat again, when Brownpaw butted in, baring his teeth in hate.

Nightpaw was able to utter one word to Ravenpaw before leaving, "Goodbye."
