This is an example of what I do when I can't sleep.

Scary.

Lionear saw Icegaze turn and run, and he knew exactly why. She found it harder to fight with her temporary sight, as he did with his temporary hearing.

Lionear needed to get out of range of Mistfeather too. Her Burning powers were too strong. As much as he found it amazing to be able to hear, he wasn't used to it.

He jumped away, starting a chase. He hoped that he and Icegaze wouldn't be split up again because they had run in opposite directions.

Suddenly, the sounds around him vanished. His body tingled as he felt more strength than he had before. Yes, this was what Lionear was accustomed to; absolute silence. He flexed his claws, spinning around.

The white tom didn't do anything, his eyes flashing with annoyance. The blueish she-cat must've said something...Lionear didn't care. What mattered most was if he was going to survive or not.

The she-cat attacked first, her blue eyes full fury and determination. Lionear easily saw through the attack. It was a classic; something he'd seen in his flashbacks. His Gemini power allowed him to see the past, so he had gained a lot of knowledge, especially of fighting.

He weaved, quickly dodging and then diving forward. The she-cat looked surprised, and she changed her tactics. Lionear was surprised that she managed to do so in such a smooth and quick manner.

She gradually sped up, constantly clawing and biting. Though he knew how to evade and counter almost all of the moves she used, it was getting difficult because of her speed.

He thought back to when he could temporarily use his ears. Hadn't his father said that Fireclaw and the other three members there were 'Elementals'? The strongest Embers in the forest...That meant this blueish she-cat must have represented 'water'. And the white tom was 'wind'. If she was smooth and quick, how much faster was the tom who represented 'wind'?

Lionear needed to choose a careful strategy. He obviously couldn't try to quickly dodge and attack. Obviously the two he was facing outmatched him in that. He could use brute force. Strength might be their weakness...

Lionear thought back to all the other moved he'd memorized that had something to do with strength.

The she-cat lunged forward, her paws lightening quick. Lionear barely moved, slamming his paws down on her. She collapsed, surprised. He felt it all click; her strategy had been to tire him out, and then the white tom would finish him off.

Lionear narrowed his eyes. He was aware that the white tom was still open, and that he could attack Lionear. So instead of using his sharp teeth, he sunk his claws into the she-cat. He drew blood, and he could feel his claws digging into her flesh. She wriggled, her body vibrating. That meant she was in extreme pain, and he'd found a weak point.

He realized that he had hit a fresh wound of hers. Lionear felt satisfied, though it wuickly ended when she managed to throw him off. The she-cat limped back, meowing something to the tom.

The white tom nodded, narrowing his icy blue eyes. Lionear braced himself, ready for an onslaught of vicious attacks. He had injured the 'Wind' Element's friend, after all.

Instead, the tom stared calmly, waiting. Lionear bared his teeth, growling. He took a step forward, and the white tom completely disappeared. Lionear blinked, but before he knew what was happening, he felt a freezing cold sensation rip through his side.

He fell, jaws gaping. The white tom looked down at Lionear, his gaze still calm.

Lionear saw blood, and he realized how injured he was. Panic shot through him. 'Wind' was both fast and strong. Extremely fast and strong.

He tried to stand, but 'Wind' disappeared from sight again. He felt claws rip through the other side of his flank. Lionear's eyes widened, and he fell to the ground again, pain jolting through him. It was a horribly painful and cold sensation. Every time he felt the white tom's claws touch his body, he felt icy cold.

Lionear struggled to his paws, trying to focus. A different set of claws hooked into his back, and he felt a body slam into him. He recognized the scent of the she-cat; 'Water'.

Lionear cursed mentally. He was already growing weak, and Water easily pinned him down. Wind continued slashing and biting so fast that Lionear could barely even realize he'd been hit. He was soon shivering, his golden tabby fur covered in red blood.

No...he couldn't die here!

But he felt hopeless. He couldn't do anything. Lionear could barely even struggle. It was getting hard to breath, and the edges of his vision darkened. He was losing too much blood.

Lionear suddenly felt the weight of the she-cat disappear. The claws stopped cutting through his flesh.

He looked up, and his eyes widened, bewildered. What was that she-cat doing there? How was she even alive? Lionear had seen her in a few of his flashbacks, and he knew she was a Gemini, but this was impossible.

Her claws flashed, surprising Water. Wind couldn't help his comrade, though. Another cat who was also supposed to be dead had showed up, literally out of nowhere.

The gray furred tom seemed to slow down everything. He stared down Wind, his claws sheathed. He meowed something, making Wind open his mouth to hiss.

Lionear tried to move, but he felt like he was trying to move through mud. He noticed that the she-cat was moving so quickly that Water seemed slow in comparison. Lionear struggled to his paws, wincing in pain.

He saw that the Gemini had the Elementals pinned on the ground, their eyes glowing in the faintly moonlit night. Lionear flicked his tail, his eyes wide. So these were their powers.

He saw the tom and she-cat deliver a killing blow to the Elementals. His shoulders slumped, knowing that they would have to kill to survive. If one was to be a Gemini, it was either kill or be killed.

These two cats had saved his life. He could hardly believe it, especially since they were so powerful. How were they both so strong? And most important of all, how were they in the living realm?

The gray tom looked at him, his eyes telling Lionear that he knew he couldn't hear. That meant these two were already on their way to help him.

Then a thought struck him: Icegaze! He knew she could handle a fight herself, but against two Elementals, how long would that last?

They needed to find and help her immediately. Lionear quickly found out he was incapable of doing any rescuing. He swayed on his paws for a few moment before crumpling to the ground.

Lionear looked at the two Gemini, pleading them with his eyes. The she-cat nodded, understanding the look in his eyes. They both dashed off, claws out.

Please keep my sister safe, Stormfur and Feathertail.
