The Final Escape of the Tortured Servant
Chapter 7
Excuses and a New Rule to The Game
Teshika's POV
Gingerstar14: Things will get different, but I'm gonna have a major torture chapter soon! And don't forget, Angelfang is still watching Knife...
I let out a furious snarl and whirled around. Leopard and I were the only ones in the ShiningClanforsaken camp besides the prisioners. Who knows where in Death Forest they were. Leopard's eyes widened and he stalked over to the three intruders. "ThunderClanners! Jayfeather, Liontail and Hollyfrost. What a surprise."
Liontail thrust his nose into Leopard's face. "Why was this cat harming Honeypaw?"
My fur bristled. "She got stuck in a foxtrap and I was trying to see where she was hurt the worst. I turned back to Foxdung. She was trying to wipe the blood from her eyes. The one eye I'd poked was watering badly, with blood streaming from it. She crouched down, running her paw over her face. Her other eye was wide and filled with terror.
"Sure." Hollyfrost lashed her tail. "And she got it stuck in her eye and about seven other places." Neither of us had no retort for that. Hollyfrost went on. "She joined ThunderClan and so that makes her a ThunderClan cat. So you've harmed a ThunderClan cat. We'll get Firestar and he'll lead a patrol here and kill you both!"
"You don't know who I am, do you?!" I spat, unsheathing my claws. With the dog teeth on them, they were three times their natural size. I was born with the red on my paws, but cats say that I killed so many cats that my paws are bloodstained forever. Rediculous? Maybe not so much.
"Honeypaw!" Jayfeather rushed over to her and meowed, "Find some cobwebs, and I'll need marigold and poppy seeds and-" He stopped midsentence as Leopard leaped onto him, dragging him to the ground. Liontail rushed to help, but I grasped him in my claws, and stooped to give him the easy deathblow. But Hollyfrost jumped onto my back, and Liontail struggled free with a yowl and rushed to help Leopard.
"Death Forest!" I heard Knife swear as he and Midnight, Rip, and Talon rushed into the camp. "Idiots!" I pinned Hollyfrost down, ignoring the clawing she gave my paw. Blood seeped around my claws and ran down her fur. I turned to Knife.
"Knife! ThunderClan cats found the way to our camp." I growled. "They don't believe that Honeypaw got trapped in a foxtrap. I knew Knife would play along.
"Yes," He growled. "The mousebrain wouldn't watch where she was going!"
Jaypaw struggled free of Leopard's grasp. "Excuses!" He screeched. The other two joined in. I dug my claws into Hollyfrost's belly, and with a muffled squeak, she fell silent. I almost smiled. Hollyfrost would be fun to torture.
Liontail bristled beneath Leopard, and with a vicious bite to his paw, rose to his paws. "Don't harm my sister!" I rolled my eyes, but said nothing.
"Looks like we'll have to add a new rule to this game." Knife exclaimed. Midnight nodded, and Rip let out a purr. But Talon looked around, confused. I felt my fur bristle with pleasure at his words.
Honeypaw's POV
I was too distracted by pain to know what was happening. But I thought I heard Jayfeather's voice. Then a wild screech. I opened my good eye and looked around in terror. Jayfeather, Liontail, and Hollyfrost were battling with Knife Leopard, Teshika, Midnight, Talon and Rip. Soon Knife annd Leopard had Hollyfrost pinned down, and Jayfeather collapsed underneath Rip's claws.
Midnight was bleeding heavily, but Liontail was exhausted. Teshika put her claws on his pelt. Liontail was one of the most fearsome fighters I'd ever seen, but he was no match for three cats. Talon sat down, and began to groom the dust from his fur.
"Jayfeather, you're a medicine cat. Talon, go with him to get herbs and stuff for our wounds. Now!" Knife ordered. I watched Jayfeather wearily rise to his paws, and with a blind- yet hatred-ridden - glance, he followed Talon.
Blue watched with round eyes, and I lay back down as she glanced at me, sympathetically. I heard Knife begin to speak. "Okay, Liontail, Hollyfrost. You are now also our servants."
"Very well, Knife. But we are members of ThunderClan, and Firestar will come looking for- " Hollyfrost was cut off and she let out a howl.
"You will be harder to train than Foxdung or Blue, I'll give you that." Leopard meowed. "Now, you two may fetch us some bedding. But I'll be watching. We'll get you some bedding for your nests. Actually, I'll leave it up to Foxdung and Blue. Go on!"
Despite my eye, which was swollen shut, I was able to shakily get to my paws. I followed Blue out of the clearing, in search of dung. I found the place where the others always make dirt, so I began to roll some in a ball, and push it along back to the camp. Blue soon followed. Leopard watched, his eyes cold. "Now, put that on the side of the clearing and fetch more. Then, you can hunt for us."
"Yes Leopard," I mewed obediantly, and was about to turn around when a claw jabbed me. I turned to see Teshika standing over me. Casting a glance at me, Blue scurried out of the camp to get some more bedding.
"Okay, Foxdung. Beg for me to hurt you. Beg for suffering." I stared at her in disbelief. "Now!"
"Okay, fine." I whimpered. "Please, Teshika. Hurt me. Make me suffer!" I was being made a fool of, but what she'd do in response to my fake plead would be more mild than if I refused.
Teshika laughed, then smiled. "Fine then." She fastened her claws around my throat. I fell to the ground, screeching. Suddenly, Teshika let go and was staring ahead. Liontail and Hollyfrost were staring. "And the same will happen to you if you don't obey!" She snarled. The expressions on their faces told they believed her.
