DashClaw, WaterFlight, and MarshOwl surrounded me.
"Lost a battle, eh?" MarshClaw snickered.
Sighing, I dragged my paw across the sand. It formed a S shape and I thought of sootpaw.
MarshClaw growled this time, "Hey, you hear? You lose AGAIN, you WILL regret it!"
In this moment, i feel like a pebble. Small..worthless, nothing even. I bet sootpaw could make me feel better. But shes not here, shes in her clan. Probably facing what im facing right now. She doesnt deserve this. I can tell she has a good heart...do i have a good heart? No. I dont. Im a shadowClanner. I am evil.
Marshclaw snorts, "Hello? Anybody home?!"
I lift my head so it faces his. Our eyes are at the same level now, and i cringe. His eyes are full of hate, so powerful i jump back. "I can hear you. Just claw me, smack me. KILL ME."
DashClaws tail falls to the ground, "Dont hurt him MarshClaw..He didnt mean that. He tied. Thats good enough."
MarshClaw entwined his tail with waterflight, DashClaws crush. I saw DashClaw turn from them, frowning. And marshClaw turned his attention to me, "Ill let you off the hook this once. Next time im going to tell ScarStar, then you wont be imagining starclan. Youll be able to taste it. You k ow why?"
I choked, "Cause he'll kill me."
MarshClaw nodded, smiling. "Exactly!" "And oh, what a marvelous day that will be."
I watch as they all walk away, DashClaws head hung, and MarshClaws tail touching the tip of waterflights head. Poor DashClaw. MarshClaw is ruthless. Which is exactly why ScarStar chose him as deputy.
Sigh.
