Soon, The brown fur Goldenpaw saw had vanished into the undergrownth of the forest. "Treeheart? I don't think-" But Goldenpaw's thought was stopped as a powerful squeeze around her waist was felt. She could scarecly breathe, Goldenpaw knew it MUST be one of the snakes. Quickly, She chomped on the scaley body, and heard the snake hiss in pain. But that wwasn't enough to stop the snake, Its grip was lost, but still managed to trap Goldenpaw. Repeatedly, Goldenpaw tried to bite the snake but found her teeth weak and the snake's scales were alot harder than she expected. Again, she tried as the snake countinued to wail in pain. Before Goldenpaw's teeth stroke the scales, the snake plunged at Goldenpaw as quickly as possible, biting her leg. "OU!" Goldenpaw shrieked. Aquapaw rushed at the snake from the darkness of everything else, and attacked the Snake. Drops of blood splattered against Goldenpaw's sensitive pelt, she knew it was not the dark thick blood of a snake, but rather the blood of a hamster.
"Aquapaw must be injured already!" With the tought in her head, she leaped at the snake and Chomped as hard as she did in her life. She heard the snake wail as other hamsters shrieked more, fighting the other 3 larger snakes. Unfortunately- Goldenpaw was out of breath after that bite, and her teeth were sore rapidly. She fell back and closed her eyes, fearing that death would come, after all, the snake still had energy to bite her and aquapaw's injured.
Enboldening herself to save Goldenpaw and to repay her back for saving her life, Aquapaw bit on the snake as hard as her sore and painful teeth can. But, since she was injured, She quickly fell shortly, she was out of breath!
By that time,Goldenpaw felt in the mood to fight a little bit, so she pounced on the snake. When she tired, Her friend Aquapaw came into the battle. The battle raged on for... who knows how long, but the snake finnally abandon it's will to fight and live, and died from too much pain and loss of blood.
Cheering joyfully, the team jumped, and- their sides hurt from breathing too hard and a few bites on their paws, back and ears caused them to drop and cower in pain. "We better see LeafBlossom." Aquapaw announced, "Then let's help the others with their battles." Goldenpaw nodded and trudged to the Healer hamster's fern. "LeafBlossom!!!!!!!!!" Squealed Aquapaw as loudly as possible, without causing pain in her sides or lungs. "Whew! lots of injured hamsters! Dumb old snakes... Come on in!" Goldenpaw shivered at the thought of MANY injured hamster. Who would be left to fight? Slowly, Goldenpaw crept through the darkness of the tunnel, and into the healer hamster's den, with aquapaw following. It wasn't like her nest that was revealed but under the shade of the fern, it was deep underground, it gave one the feeling of safty and secureness.
"Why, hello Aquapaw and Goldenpaw. Good to see you're not in a too bad shape... We'll just put some here, and there..." Leafblossom placed a few squished and powdered something onto the largest wounds. Goldenpaw saw Leafblossom scurry back to about three other bleeding hamsters. "You two'll be fine. Just place some cobwebs or beetle shells if you are really crazy about clean and no drop of blood. Well, go on now, help the others with the other three snakes, Firetail and Other warriors have already killed one." "We killed one too!" Shouted Aquapaw excitedly. "Y-You did? I'm sure you had help from other warriors-" "Nope, killed it ourselves!" Aquapaw nudged Goldenpaw. "Well! that IS something! i will tell pearlstar after this battle, bare in mind you are still too younge to be warriors." Aquapaw smiled broadly with goldenpaw following not far behind. Soon, the same a bit of light and knew it was the end of the tunnel.
"Aquapaw! GoldenPaw! There is but one snake left! come and help!" Blackpaw raced to them, Then scurried back to a crowded area filled with other hamsters.
When Aquapaw arrived with Goldenpaw following behind, They saw a Surprizing scene! It was half good and bad. In the center of the crowd, there was a dead snake (woohoo! Goldenpaw and aquapaw thought) but when a hamster moved, they noticed a Pearlly cream colored hamster on the floor. "one of his five lives are gone. So far, he has lost... 3 lives."some one said. All the hamsters shuffled their paws and shivered uncomfortably. "Cool five lives!" Whispered Goldenpaw to Aquapaw. "Yes, cool, but... uh.. he only has 2 left!"
"Oh..." Goldenpaw watched as The pearlbody rised up, then Pearlstar seemed normal as ever. "Okay, seems all the snakes are dead, Why don't you apprentices and warriors get something to eat, then take a rest." Pearlstar alone walked off into his den as the crowd of hamsters scattered and went on with their lives.
"So... want to eat with me?" Goldenpaw asked, Aquapaw shrugged and replied cooly "sure." Each hamster grabbed some food, walked off to their stump then aquapaw and goldenpaw chattered about their day, they finnished their meals, then went to sleep. But the thought of Icepaw lingered in Goldenpaw's mind as Goldenpaw tried to sleep. Still, she managed to find a nice... dry... little area that was so comfy that she drifted off to sleep.
