A/N
The delightful SuperBailey and Havenspirit of MoonClan gave me some ideas, so here's a new chapter. I wish others had helped me out, even if it was small. ANYthing can trigger an idea. SuperBailey and Havenspirit of MoonClan help me a lot, and as much as appreciate, SUperBailey helps so much she's almost a co-writer! I also feel like I'm stealing SuperBailey's ideas, though she is giving them to me.
So I'm asking, anyone, to review or PM me ideas.
Shorty: Really?! Well, Hawkpool lost her memory when she fell from that tree back in ThunderClan. If you could give me things to steer me away from that other story so it doesn't look like I'm stealing, I'd appreciate it.

"Come on, Newtkit!" Finchkit squeaked, pulling at him with her paws with a pleading look in her eyes. "We're gonna get in a lot of trouble! Certainly you remember who our father is? And our sister?"
Newtkit scoffed. "Oakstar is lousy elder and Hawkpool is lame as she's grown pudgy. She can't do anything as deputy as of now."
"Don't speak of your father like that," a voice suddenly spoke behind them, casting a shadow over them. "He wouldn't be too fond of it." The cat chuckled.
Finchkit spun around, grateful to see Hawkpool. "Hawkpool! Newtkit wants to-"
Newtkit slapped his tail over Finchkit's mouth, but she spat it out with a glare towards him. "He wants to sneak out of the camp!" She blurted with an indignant look. Hawkpool merely purred in amusement.
"You're only a moon from being apprentices," Hawkpool pointed out, looking at Newtkit. "Why sneak out and risk waiting longer?"
Newtkit looked horrified. "Oakstar would suspend our apprenticeships?!"
Hawkpool didn't say anything, just a small smirk on her face as she nodded shortly. Newtkit's face softened, but there was still the stubborn look in his amber-orange eyes.
"Come on, Finchkit," Newtkit huffed, stalking away from Hawkpool, but she followed.
"What's the matter? Don't want to spend time with your sister?" Hawkpool chuckled, blocking their paths. Newtkit frowned at her, but Finchkit looked excited to be with the deputy.
"I don't want spend time with a chunky cat who can't perform her duties because of that," Newtkit growled, though he bit his lip once the words left, a look of embarrassment on his face. A flash of faint crossness was seen in Hawkpool eyes, but it disappeared quickly, replaced by regalement.
"I'm not 'chunky' in the way you think," Hawkpool laughed. "I'm going to be a mother, with kits of my own with Pebbletail."
Newtkit looked puzzled, staring at her round belly. Finchkit mimicked his expression. "Does plumpness equal kits?" Newtkit asked bluntly, staring up at Hawkpool.
Hawkpool let out a laugh. "No, no, uh, I'm sure Sandfern will have that talk with you someday. How about…" Hawkpool swiveled her head around, spotting a clump of moss. "A game of moss-ball?"
Newtkit was easily distracted by the moss-ball, which Hawkpool had flung in the air with her nose, but Finchkit still looked like she was trying figure out the whole kit subject.
"Finchkit, come on!" Newtkit called out, stealing the moss from Nightkit, who had joined the game. "I need you on my team!"
Finchkit let out a playful growl as the moss-ball hit her forehead. She took it up in her paws, quickly passing it to Newtkit, but Brightkit intercepted. Finchkit found her paws frozen to the ground, and not because it was cold. Newtkit hadn't said Brightkit was playing!
"Hey, you gonna steal this from me?" Brightkit teased, passing the moss-ball between his paws. Finchkit shook her head, but the burning in her cheeks didn't go away. She opened her mouth, but no words came out.
Instead, she nodded and darted forward, swatting the moss away from Brightkit. She could hardly hear anything over the blood roaring in her ears from jitters.
Nightkit yowled playfully, bowling Newtkit over as to intercept Finchkit's pass. Finchkit gasped in surprise, narrowing her eyes as she nibbled on Nightkit's ear. Nightkit yelped, skidding off of Newtkit. He glared at Finchkit, but he had a playful smile on his face.
Mistkit leapt up to her brothers with an eager look on her face. "Can I join?" She asked, smiling gleefully. Her brothers exchanged awkward looks.
"Well, if you join us, and Newtkit and Finchkit will be at a disadvantage," Brightkit pointed out, with a lingering glance at Finchkit. She broke the eye contact after a few heartbeats of her heart thrumming in her chest and her legs like fragile, leaf-fall leaves.
"She cats versus toms!" Finchkit suggested, darting to Mistkit's side. "We she cats can beat toms anywhere, anytime!" The two she cats had identical smug smirks on their faces.
"But I'm hungry!" Newtkit protested, lashing his tail. Hawkpool let out a mrrow of amusement, flicking her tail over her paws.
"Would you like me to catch you something?" Hawkpool asked with a chuckle. The six kits nodded their heads eagerly.
Finchkit, however, looked wary. "But, what about your kits? I heard mama say they were due soon."
Hawkpool rolled her eyes. "Well, it's true I am ready to deliver, but I don't think catching a few mice if going to do me any harm."
"Isn't there any prey in the pile?" Mistkit asked, looking around camp.
Hawkpool shook her head. "Pebbletail just sent out a patrol, so they won't be back for a while. I can be much quicker."
"Take someone with you then!" Finchkit pleaded. "Like Birchpaw!"
Hawkpool sighed. "Pesky, pesky," she teased, tapping her tail across Finchkit's ear. "Birchpaw's leg is still healing. But, if he's okay with it, then he can accompany me."
Hawkpool trotted over towards the brown mottled tabby, ignoring the slight jabs in her stomach, passing off as just the kits kicking.
"Birchpaw?" Hawkpool mewed, prodding him with a paw. He jumped slightly, then relaxed when he saw Hawkpool.
"Yes?" He meowed, not meeting her eyes as he focused on stretching his leg. His jaw was clenched, as if it caused him pain. Hawkpool felt her heart twist.
"Well, the kits are hungry and I was gonna go hunt, and they think I should take you with me since I'm close to kitting," Hawkpool sighed, clearly stubborn about asking this. Another twinge in her stomach. Sure, it was the first time the kits had been so rowdy, but it was to be expected.
"Normally, I would go with you," Birchpaw began, forcing himself up to face her. "But I have to say no. I still have to attend to the elders, and check up on Cloudkit. She's developed greencough now and has infected Palepaw and Icepaw badly."
Hawkpool put a paw to her mouth in horror and shock. "That's terrible! Oh, well, sorry for bothering you. I guess I shouldn't hunt, then?"
Birchpaw made a soft, thinking sound. "Well, if you don't run to hard or slam into anything, you should be okay. Stay from the river though."
Hawkpool purred, licking his ear. "You seem to be the only one who is fond of your new siblings."
"Pebbletail makes you happy," Birchpaw mewed as if it was simple. "That's what matters."
"But are you? Happy, I mean," Hawkpool turned his chin so their eyes met. He looked away, pulling from here sharply with a look of awkwardness.
"I'm… fine," Birchpaw meowed lowly under his breath. "Or, I will be. It's hard. Not being able to walk or even run properly. But, I'm thrilled for you. You should be more concerned about Hazelpaw and Whitepaw."
"Why?" What's wrong with them?" Hawkpool was suddenly worried, her motherly instincts awakening inside of her. Birchpaw shrugged.
"It's just they're not themselves lately, since you became pregnant," Birchpaw sighed, going back to exercising his mangled hind leg.
Hawkpool frowned, turned her head to Hazelpaw from just outside the nursery. She was resting her head on her paws, her eyes glassy and dull looking. Snowfall looked helpless and small beside her, despite him being taller and larger.
Hazelpaw's eyes were locked to the medicine den, where Hawkpool could hear the painful and feeble coughs of Cloudkit. Hazelpaw looked like she was on the verge of tears.
Whitepaw was the farthest from Hawkpool, his amber eyes alight in an unknown fury. His claws were flexed into the soft ground. Hawkpool looked away, her ears flat to her head and her eyes small.
"I don't understand why Whitepaw is having this attitude as of late," Hawkpool sighed, flicking her tail tip in annoyance. "He's been bitter, towards me, Pebbletail, your siblings, and essentially the whole clan."
Birchpaw didn't reply to her statement. "If you're going to hunt, you should go while it's still sunhigh and warm. Yellowlily and Breezepaw they says she smells a blizzard on the way. You know their heightened senses."
Hawkpool exhaled heavily, dipping her head and padding through the camp exit, another wave of the kits squirming in her belly restlessly passing over her. Briefly she debated going back, but her stubbornness won her over, and she continued on, her keen nose lifted to sense any prey.
She detected the faintest traces of water vole. Hawkpool slunk down in the snow, her round belly sticking out awkwardly, along with her black fur against the white and pale colors of leaf-bare. Her sharp eyes spotted the brownish coat of the vole, scuffling around a scattered pile of cobnuts.
Hawkpool crept forward, her paws silent as a night owl's wings against the snow, until she crumpled at stab of pain in her belly and cried out in pain. The vole looked up in alarm and began scampering away. Hawkpool cursed loudly, sprinting after it and doing her best to ignore the agonizing ache in her stomach.
Hawkpool's pace began to slow, her body giving in to the pain. Hawkpool attempted to force herself on further, only to snag her paw under a tree root and smack her upper body down onto a log. Flecks of snow began falling onto her silky black fur.
She crawled up and over the log. Her chin took most of the damage, followed by her chest. Hawkpool panted, her plump sides heaving. Her body cramped and tensed and muscles quivered. She knew this feeling all too well.
The kits were coming.
(POV change; Streampaw)
"Streampaw, you're ready for your assessment!" Blizzardshade exclaimed with a wide grin. Streampaw only gave her tail a prideful wave.
"Of course I am! I am the fittest of my littermates after all," Streampaw boasted, puffing out her chest. But she knew she was lying through her teeth.
The truth was, even Streampaw knew she was the least outstanding versus her siblings. Specklepaw was lean and nimble, Nutpaw was tough and had limber legs for climbing, while Stonepaw was bulky and powerful.
Streampaw had a sleek figure admittedly, but it was countered by her broad shoulders and her legs were longer than they should for that figure.
"You'll be heading towards the RiverClan border for hunting today," Blizzardshade meowed as he led her out into the forest, with her littermates and their mentors beside them.
Something inside Streampaw cheered, and she knew why. She already knew the RiverClan border so well, hunting would be a breeze!
"Got it! I know every inch of ThunderClan like the back of my paw," Streampaw mewed over confidently. She often used a facade of pride to cover her insecurities.
Huntshadow flicked his tail silently towards the Frog Pond for Specklepaw, the dark she cat nodding in understanding and sprinting off elegantly.
"Thunder Tree," Brackenfang growled to Stonepaw. The dark grey tom flattened his ears, clearly offended by the tone of his mentor, but he stalked off, his muscles rippling beneath his pelt.
Heatherblossom had an unreadable expression towards her half brother, whom was Nutpaw and her apprentice. She merely frowned and tossed her head in the direction of the ShadowClan border.
Now, Brackenfang glared at Streampaw, who hadn't moved towards her hunting spot. In realization, she let out a squeak and bolted off.
Streampaw strolled through the faint layers of snow, her jaws parted slightly and her eyes scanning her surroundings. She licked her lips in delight as she spotted a squirrel up the trunk of a birch tree.
She flexed her claws and wiggled her haunches and prepared to launch herself forward. Streampaw jumped up, missing the squirrel by a whisker, her claws slipping down the slippery bark and landing on her back in a thistle bush at the base of the tree.
Streampaw let out a pained cry, limping out of the bush. Brambles clung to her fur. She sat on her rump, whimpering as she yanked out each thorn and spitting it out on the forest floor. She whipped her head around, hoping none of the mentors had seen her.
Streampaw scented the air again, this time catching a strong breeze of her brother, Stonepaw. There was also a trace of Specklepaw, but she was fainter.
Streampaw kept her belly to the ground, masking her scent in the snow. One useful talent of hers was being able to easily disguise her scent and throw others off her trail, especially useful when she was fighting a fox that wandered in from RiverClan, despite fleeing like a coward.
Streampaw made out the thick stocky build of her brother, who had strayed from his designated hunting grounds, but still in the range of the Thunder Tree. Streampaw suddenly felt a strange surge of power inside of her. He didn't know she was there. It was the perfect moment to strike.
Streampaw fought with herself internally. He's your brother, are you crazy?! Stonepaw, the brother who mocks your uselessness twenty four seven? Yeah, he's tooootally undeserving of those thoughts. But he's your blood! Yeah, it'll be his blood on the snow in a moment, that's for sure. Teach him who's powerful and who's the coward.
"H-hey, Stonepaw!" Streampaw called out, the dark grey tom spinning around. He already looked annoyed by her presence. "I couldn't catch anything, can you help?"
Stonepaw rolled his eyes, already beginning to pad back towards the base of the Thunder Tree. "I've got better things to do than aid my thistledown-brained sister. Like, oh I don't know, passing this final assessment!
Streampaw unsheathed her claws silently and assumed a fighting position. "On second thought, I just found the perfect prey." She hissed, springing forward and shoving him to the ground with her claws digging into his fleshy shoulders.
"Streampaw?! Are you crazy?" Stonepaw cried out, struggling under grasp. His eyes were small, and terrified, unlike when he'd bully her. They were like her own when she was being bullied by him.
"You thought just because I wasn't a good fighter like you or dad or a good hunter like mom and Specklepaw or good climber like Nutpaw, that I was useless? Try again! I came up with my own attacks! Ones you could never counter," Streampaw cackled, knocking him against the ground roughly. "Because you never learned how."
Streampaw gripped his neck, leaning down and whispering into his ear. "I'm not weak. I just as strong as you, if not stronger." She spat, though sounding more like she was convincing herself.
Stonepaw writhed under her paws, gasping for air. "You're pathetic." He choked out, sneering at her and snagging his sharp claws under one of her forelegs, but Streampaw didn't budge.
"If I'm so pathetic," Streampaw scoffed as she pressed her nose to his. "Then why can't you escape my hold?"
Streampaw jerked his head up and to the right, a loud cracking noise sounding and Stonepaw fell died in her paws. Blood trickled from his mouth and onto the Thunder Tree's roots he'd been pinned down on.
Streampaw licked her paws clean of Stonepaw's scent and blood, and groomed the fur along her spine backwards, giving her a scaredy, ragged look. She ran off, being sure to catch brambles and twigs in her fur despite how it pained her.
Skidding to a stop in the clearing where she'd last seen the mentors, Specklepaw and Nutpaw were finished with their assessments and waiting with their mentors, along with Brackenfang and Blizzardshade, who clearly hadn't watched their apprentices, much to Streampaw's relief.
"Is something wrong, Streampaw?" Blizzardshade asked, taking a step forward. Streampaw mustered her most feeble voice she could think of.
"I-I-It's Stonepaw!" Streampaw gasped, making herself smaller by crouching low to the ground. "I-I think h-he's hurt!"
The mentors looked worried, exchanging concerned glances with each other. Specklepaw and Nutpaw gasped, horror plastered identically on their faces.
"Show us where," Brackenfang snarled, his hot, smelly breath wafting on Streampaw's tongue. She gagged, spinning around and haring off, leading the rest of the cats to the Thunder Tree.
Streampaw winced as she felt blood gush under her foreleg, where Stonepaw managed to claw her. Once they entered the clearing where Stonepaw's limp body, Streampaw discreetly leaned down and licked the wound.
"Are you okay?"
Streampaw jumped at the sound of Nutpaw's voice. "Hm? Y-yeah, whatever." She mumbled, hiding the wound. "Just fell in a thistle bush is all."
"He's dead," Heatherblossom announced with a grim look. Nutpaw left Streampaw's side, pressing his nose sorrowfully to Stonepaw's side. Streampaw yowled in distraught, trying her best to sound grief stricken. Huntshadow patted his tail on her shoulders, clearly buying her act.
Streampaw approached Specklepaw and Nutpaw. Their eyes were teary. Specklepaw's dark blue eyes were round like a kit's as always, but they somehow managed to get wider and sadder looking. Streampaw felt guilt stab her. Maybe this was a bad idea? Certainly I could've lived with him longer? No, no way. He was too cruel. Especially to poor Nightpaw! I did everyone a favor.
"Regardless of these events," Brackenfang sighed. "We must continue. Collect your prey and rendezvous back where we gathered to send you off." He didn't seem very bothered by Stonepaw's death.
The cats scattered off, Blizzardshade lagging to speak with Streampaw. "Streampaw?"
The white she cat whirled around, her sleek grey stripes ruffled with her thorn riddled fur. "Y-yes?" Panic began setting in. He knows! He knows! He saw you!
"Did you catch any prey?" Blizzardshade asked. Streampaw resisted breathing a hefty sigh of relief.
"Y-yeah!" She exclaimed. Okay, I'm just going to dig up Stonepaw's prey, but I caught him so to an extent, I caught the prey… right?
"Hm. Good," Blizzardshade's voice sounded genuinely pleased. Streampaw felt her paws tingle with satisfaction.
Blizzardshade lashed his tail quietly, disappearing in the undergrowth. Streampaw searched around the Thunder Tree, content when she found two mice and a robin buried not so well.
…
Streampaw bristled with excitement as her father began the warrior ceremony.
"I, Cloudstar, leader of ThunderClan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on these apprentices. They have trained long and hard to learn your noble code and I commend them to you to make them warriors in return," he bellowed. His voice cracked slightly as he stared at his dead son being groomed by the elders.
"Nutpaw, Specklepaw, Streampaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior to protect and defend your clan, even at the cost of your life?" Cloudstar asked, and Streampaw wondered briefly what would happen if she said no.
"Yes, I do!" Nutpaw exclaimed, his eyes round and his grief seemed buried back in order to enjoy this moment.
"I do," Specklepaw whispered, shy as ever. Her eyes were filled to the brim with tears.
Streampaw hesitated slightly. What do I say? If I agree, I'm lying, and if I say no, I'll get exiled!
"Um, I-I do," Streampaw gulped nervously, a cold sweat trickling down her neck.
"Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior names! Nutpaw, you shall be known as Nutclaw. StarClan honors your overtness and strength, and we welcome you as a full warrior of ThunderClan," Cloudstar rested his head on his son's, Nutclaw licking his father's shoulder respectfully.
"Specklepaw, you shall be known as Speckledust. StarClan honors your agility and quick wit, and we welcome you as a full warrior of ThunderClan," Cloudstar smiled warmly, and Streampaw knew why. Speckledust was born the weakest, not expected to live or be much. She sure proved everyone wrong.
"Streampaw, you shall be known as Streamshadow. StarClan honors your… endurance and… kindness, and we welcome you as a full warrior of ThunderClan," Cloudstar picked himself up, clearing his throat as to hide how he faltered on his words. Streamshadow felt her fur burn with shamefulness and embarrassment. Her own father couldn't place her attributes instantly, like he did with her littermates!
"Nutclaw! Speckledust! Streamshadow," the clan cheered, her own name more of a dull echo than that of her brother and sister's. Streamshadow lashed her tail in a huff.
"We're warriors, isn't that great?" Nutclaw purred, nudging Streamshadow's shoulder. She chuckled nervously.
"Stonepaw should be here beside us," Speckledust whimpered, turning her head as Blackpelt and Tulipwood carried the young apprentice off to be buried.
Streamshadow swallowed a retorting growl. "Face it, Speckledust; our brother was a jerk. He was cruel, even to you sometimes!"
Speckledust looked horrified. "He was not! He just had trouble connecting with others!"
Streamshadow peeled back her lips and towered over her younger sister. "He sure had no trouble connecting his claws to my face!" She hissed, pointing to her shredded ear and scars on her cheek. "Or Nightpaw's face! We were his source of entertainment!"
Speckledust shrinked to the ground. "Th-those scars were from Stonepaw? You said you fell through the barrier…"
Streamshadow scoffed, rolling her eyes. "Of course you'd believe that awful lie. I can't believe you never noticed how many times he landed me in the medicine den."
""Stonepaw might have been trying to help you, ever think of that?! It's not my fault you're bad at everything!" Speckledust retorted without thinking.
Streamshadow flinched, flattening her ears to the sides of her head and biting her lip in embarrassment. She flicked her tail and whirled around, sprinting off through the camp barrier.
Streamshadow found herself staring up at the dead, charred Thunder Tree. StarClan, tell me. Was it bad to kill him? I only did it for Nightpaw and I! I just wanted be strong…
I just wanted to be strong!" Streamshadow wailed to the sky, breaking down and sobbing hysterically. "I just wanted everyone to see I wasn't useless!"
"Perhaps I can help with that," a voice said with a chilling giggle. Streamshadow looked up, recoiling at the she cat before her. She had a reddish ginger coat with dark brown eyes, and an unnerving scar that ran from the side of her left ear, down to her foreleg and going under her belly and ending at her flank. There were also two separate scars, one on the bridge of her nose and another over her left eye.
"Wh-who are you?" Streamshadow stammered, scrambling away from the cat in fear. The cat chuckled, the crimson red mist surrounding her moving with her as she stepped closer to Streamshadow.
"I am Gingerroot, and I can help you become strong."
(POV change; Snailpaw)
Snailpaw smiled sadly to herself as the last daisy petal ended her words on 'to be'. Thoughts buzzed in her head despite her efforts to ignore the wailing inside her heart.
Am I not enough? Does he love someone else? What about me? *gasp* does he hate me?! Snailpaw mentally slapped herself. And physically. She rubbed her cheek regretfully.
If he won't come to me, I'll go to him. Snailpaw thought stubbornly, standing and sprinting back to the Liberty camp and yowled in fright as she saw the scene unfold before her eyes all to quickly.
An army of Wrath cats flooded the entrance, ambushing the camp. Queens ushered their kits into the nursery, with a young flame colored tom with white paws, ears and muzzle defending the nursery beside a light brown she cat with a cream underbelly and brown and black swirl stripes.
Snailpaw was swept into the battle, tackled to the ground by a chubby, golden-brown mottled tom. Snailpaw scrabbled at the thick forelegs of her attacker, gasping for breath as he choked her.
Snailpaw wavered in and out of consciousness, struggling to breath but the cat atop her seemed set on killing her, a frightening, lusty glint in his grey eyes.
Snailpaw soon lost feeling in her body, going limp in her enemy's hold. Just as she welcomed the cold darkness, the force that deprived of her air was removed, and consciousness overwhelmed her as her senses flooded back suddenly and made her feel dizzy.
Snailpaw coughed, heaving in air like a starving cat chowing down prey. She whipped around, facing the cat that had saved her life. Reedpaw. Snailpaw lay frozen on the ground, stunned to see him snap the neck of her almost murderer with a fire in his eyes she had never seen before, though it seemed familiar.
"Don't thank me," Reedpaw snorted, not meeting her eyes. "It's fight to kill here." He briefly met eyes with her. The fire still burned. "Stay safe, you fox-heart." He muttered, giving her cheek a fleeting lick.
It was now that Snailpaw recognized where she had seen the intensity in his eyes before. Their first, and second, kiss. Snailpaw had nearly forgotten there was a battle going on until she was pinned once more.
Snailpaw dug her claws into the soft underbelly of the chunky cream tom above her, a cry of pain and surprise escaping him, giving Snailpaw the chance to kick him off.
Snailpaw had him pinned, her paws positioned to where he was vulnerable to his neck being snapped. But Snailpaw hesitated, fear pumping in her ears and echoing in her mind.
The cream tom sensed her fault, throwing her off and striking her cheek with thorn sharp claws. Snailpaw shrieked, landing on the ground with a thud and blood welling at her cut.
Snailpaw hissed, charging at the tom with her agility that came with her WindClan blood. The tom met her head on, but at the last second, Snailpaw darted to the side, the cream tom crashing into the ground.
Snailpaw smirked to herself as she flexed her claws into the enemy's shoulders and dragging them down his back. He screeched in agony, scrambling from her grasp and fleeing. Snailpaw watched in terror as a Liberty cat intercepted his getaway and slashed his throat, the creamy tom falling lifeless to the ground.
The Liberty cat, a tom Snailpaw knew as Mustard and a ruthless warrior, raced up to Snailpaw with slitted eyes. "We can't let any get away, clanner. Don't screw up again, kid." He spat, his amber eyes glaring at her. Snailpaw gulped nervously, but Mustard leapt back into the fray before she could reply.
Snailpaw swiped her tongue over her paw and wiped the blood off her cheek and followed Mustard back into the fighting. She heard a cat approach her and with a hiss she spun around and slashed her claws across the face of a Wrath Tribe cat.
Snailpaw dodged as her enemy lashed out blindly in pain. She had struck his eyes. Snailpaw felt a faint disgust and strong sense of pity as he screamed in pain, clutching his eyes with his paws and blood gushed out endlessly, pouring down his face and pooling on the ground. She brought herself to stand over his back, and bite into his neck, putting the cat out of his misery.
Snailpaw felt sick, her head spinning and legs shivering. Cats ran around, hissing and clawing and blood flying in the crisp air. The camp was dark now, casting an eerie chill over her. She hadn't realized the sun had already gone down in the midst of the battle.
Snailpaw gulped, panting and feeling like she was going to retch. She had just killed a cat. Snailpaw stumbled backwards, her whole body trembling in terror. Snailpaw yelped as she tripped over something, screaming as she faced what she tripped over.
The dead body of her friend, Callie. Snailpaw stood with her paws stuck to the drying blood and guts of her friend, Callie's calico fur stained crimson and goopy intestines were sprawled from the gaping hole in Callie's underbelly.
One eye was clawed with pus and blood pouring out, and the other dangling from its socket, a yawning, crimson-filled hole where Callie's eye should have been, the blood glistening in the moonlight.
Snailpaw scrambled away, sheltering under the safety of a gnarled willow tree. She panted, her eyes dilated and focused on the terrifying scene that was unfolding before her.
Snailpaw flinched as a hot, sticky liquid dropped from the tree and onto her nose and head in a giant blob. Snailpaw dabbed her paw on her nose, observing the fluid. It was dark under the shade of the tree, but Snailpaw recognized the smell all too well. Blood.
She slowly turned head upwards, covering her mouth with her paws and shrinking to the ground as she saw two cats just a couple fox-lengths above her in the split trunk-branches of the willow tree.
Snailpaw gasped, placing her paws on the ground and screaming a blood-curdling scream. She stood frozen, horrified, in place and gazing into the dead eyes of Reedpaw's friend, Wile. A Wrath cat had seemingly slain Wile, dragged him up a tree, with the trunk stained red and was now eating him, slurping and gulping. The tom hissed, his mouth filled with Wile's hot, red flesh from his neck.
Snailpaw shrieked, fleeing in terror as she heard the Wrath cat jump down from the tree and chase her. Snailpaw managed to whirl around and swipe furiously at the cannibalistic cat, knocking him against a rock and unconscious.
Snailpaw scrambled under the safety of a hollow in the roots of an oak, sobbing hysterically to herself. She felt her heart yearn for Reedpaw, wanting to help him, but she was much too frightened that she barely even noticed that the cannibalistic cat had sliced her underbelly open.
Reedpaw's limbs grew numb and the blood in his veins run cold as he watched in horror as a Wrath cat took to sharpened end of a sturdy oak branch and drive it through his friend, Thunder's, chest.
Fury and adrenaline took hold, his vision spotting with rage. Reedpaw howled, latching his fangs into the back of the Wrath cat's neck and drawing his hind claws along his enemy's flanks. Reedpaw snarled as the tom squirmed beneath his grasp, clawing the cat's eyes and muzzle with a paw.
Reedpaw slammed the cat's back onto the ground and sunk his teeth into his throat and tore his throat, blood gushing over the cat's black and white pelt.
Snailpaw shrieked in dismay as Reedpaw was pummeled to the ground with the unsheathed claws of a greasy black tom with a white tail. Reedpaw feebly fought back, grunting as the tom shoved his head to side and placed a paw to his cheek.
Snailpaw grinded her teeth and felt sickening chills as Azure cannoned into Reedpaw's attacker, shredding the Wrath tom's belly open with unnaturally long claws and sickly, wide smile on her face as the enemy cat fell died to the ground, still twitching and gurgling blood.
Azure's teeth had a pinky, blood-like shine to them. Reedpaw didn't seem to notice her instability. Snailpaw suddenly was hit with the realization she was bleeding non stop as her adrenaline worn down and she was now feeling the immense pain.
Lijep was partner fighting beside Jay with such coordination it was like they were one cat. A white tom with silver paws raced towards them with full force. Jay took the Wrath's head in his forepaws and threw him to the side against a rock, the cat getting his breath knocked out and moaning in agony.
Lijep pinned him down on his back, which Jay seemed to have broken with such a full forced throw against the boulder. Lijep's eyes were tiny pupils and rage filled as she repeatedly slammed the Wrath tom's head into the rock, blood smearing against the dull grey color until he went limp under her powerful paws.
Snailpaw felt chills run down her spine. They were an unbeatable pair to what she could tell, but they seemed to have their fair share of injuries. Their unstoppable power reminded her of how Hawkpool and Pebbletail fought and trained together before she became pregnant and moved into the nursery.
Nightpaw and Evie weren't too far from Jay, partner fighting as well, with Evie on Nightpaw's blind side to aid her. Nightpaw hissed, scratching at the ears and muzzle of a tannish tabby tom and rving him towards Evie, who made no hesitation to bite into his throat. Nightpaw purposely looked away and charged at a dappled grey tom with Evie at her side.
Cas and Nicky fought with a dark brown she cat with black dapples and deep blue eyes, who'd looked like she couldn't have been any older than Snailpaw herself. Nicky and the she cat seemed closer than with Cas, who acted as a guard, or a frontal shield to them as they protected him from rear attacks.
Snailpaw's ears shot up as she heard a splash in the distance. She painfully got to her paws, looking around to make sure no one saw her, and limped towards the noise that came from the frozen lake. Snailpaw felt unbalanced as she held her stomach with one forepaw and limped to investigate with her three free paws.
Snailpaw looked in fright as she saw the ice on the small lake had been broken, as if someone had fallen. Snailpaw held her breath, reluctantly diving in. She made out the tawny-cream outline of a cat, quickly dragging him up to the surface. She gasped softly as she recognized the face of the tom before her. Rabbitleg.
He faintly open his eyes, gurgling water. Snailpaw attempted to pump the water out, but that required using both her paws, and she feared her insides would spill out onto the whitish blue ice of she moved her forepaw.
"Rabbitleg? Speak to me!" Snailpaw pleaded, massaging his chest. He choked, staring up at her with glassy, pale green eyes.
"Tell Mousepelt… I love her," Rabbitleg spluttered, hacking up blood. "And I'm sorry… to everyone." Rabbitleg lifted a paw weakly, then suddenly fell back, motionless.
Snailpaw screamed as loud as she could without meaning to. The blood and shrieks and death were all getting to her, playing her battle experience over and over in her head until she felt like she was going to throw up. Instead, she passed out.
Snailpaw felt groggy as she woke. Evie was standing above her, the scent of herbs flooded her senses. "You were badly injured, Snailpaw, but luckily I managed to patch you up." Evie meowed the second she noticed Snailpaw was conscious.
"H-how did you find me?" Snailpaw rasped, noticing Rabbitleg's body was gone. Dawn light poked through the leafy canopy made by the thick trees.
Evie smirked. "I didn't." She flicked her tail in the direction behind Snailpaw. Snailpaw craned her head around, shocked to see Reedpaw standing a few fog-lengths away from her timidly.
"A certain moony tom was worried," Evie chuckled loudly as she carefully patched up Snailpaw's wound.
Reedpaw smiled at her.
Snailpaw smiled back.
A/N
Whew, that was long and a bit too involved! Sorry if the battle scene bothered you. Now, don't forget to R&R your thoughts, speculations and opinions in the form of a precious review! 4 and up reviews equal a guaranteed new chapter soon!
ALSO: I highly recommend reading my One-Shot book on this story, and skipping to HawkXPebble. It contains some canon information that is relevant to Hawkpool's relationship with Pebbletail.
What are your opinions on HawkXPebble/their upcoming kits? What do you think they will look like, how many, how they'll act, etc.
What are your opinions on Streamshadow? Did she do the right thing? Is she going to join Gingerroot?
How was my first gory battle scene? How will it affect Snailpaw and Reedpaw with their traumatic experiences? Will their relationship ever be canon?
Answer these questions in a review, and see you in the next chapter!
