Chapter 14, the beginning of an ending
It was ready. WindClan, ShadowClan and RiverClan had agreed to help them. Firestar said they had done it before.
But as confident as he looked, Firestar still was afraid, Ravenflight could tell. She had heard him mutter, "I lost my deputy last time. What if I loose another tonight?" he always gave Greystripe scared glances.
"Let's go," the leader meowed finally. He led the way out of camp.
Squirreltalon came up behind Ravenflight. "I'm scared," she murmured, "Did you see the BloodClan cats? They could tear us to shreds."
"Yes," Ravenflight muttered. Stars twinkled in the sky above them. The moon was full.
Ravenflight deep orange eyes shone in the darkness. She looked around the clearing.
They plunged down to Fourtrees. But this time it wasn't for a Gathering. It was for a battle. Maybe the last battle in the cats lives.
Surveillance strutted in front of BloodClan. "Before we fight," she yowled at the Clans, "I want to tell you some things. "First, I am Scourge's daughter. He told me that if he ever died, he wanted me to rule BloodClan and take over the forest. I am here to live through his request." She laughed. "You are fools to think that you can win! You are all fools!" she laughed again, her voice load and clear, her ice blue eyes sweeping the Clans.
"Ravenflight!" she yowled suddenly, "Come foreword!"
Ravenflight stumbled out of the throng and over to Surveillance.
"I heard you were made a warrior," she said, her voice loud, "Congratulations!"
Ravenflight looked into her glittering blue eyes. "Why do you want me here?"
"Because!" she laughed, "You are my enemy. The first time I laid eyes on you, I knew you were not good." She laughed again. "Say goodbye to life, Ravenflight."
Ravenflight locked her gaze, both cats met as enemies.
Slash! Surveillance slashed her claws in front of Ravenflight's face.
"Time to die, Ravenflight," she whispered, and the Clans leapt at each other.
Surveillance disappeared into the crowd. Ravenflight gazed around, trying to find her, but she was gone.
A scraggly tortoiseshell came up to her. Ravenflight raked her claws down its face. It lashed out with its front paws. Ravenflight's chest was bleeding. Ravenflight leapt at the tortoiseshell and pinned it to the ground. She gave it a sharp nip. It hissed in frustration and grabbed onto another cat.
Ravenflight scanned the clearing. Blackstar, the leader of ShadowClan led a knot of his warriors into the thick of the fighting, where you couldn't tell one cat to another. Firestar slashed his claws out at a big brown tom, confusing it and driving it back into Greystripe. Owlfeather was dashing nimbly out of the way of a large tabby. Not far away Brackenfur pulled himself over to Cinderpelt. Brambleclaw's flank dripped with blood and he had one hind leg tucked up beside his belly.
Ravenflight climbed foreword to the thick of the fighting. Fur of all colors blurred her vision. Cats banged into her. She crouched in the grass, pinpointing a huge tom who had Blizzardpaw by the hind leg. He whirled the small apprentice far above his head.
Ravenflight jumped at him. The tom dropped Blizzardpaw and turned to face her. He whacked her with a huge paw, sending her flying. In a second she was back up. Ravenflight slashed her long claws down his face. He yowled and jumped at her and caught her by the hind leg. She wailed as she felt his teeth scrape her bone. She flailed her claws all around, trying to catch him. She clawed at him until he dropped her.
He flew at her and pinned her to the ground. Ravenflight wailed and positioned her hind legs under his belly. She kicked up and he flew off. She didn't even know she could do that.
Ravenflight lashed out with her claws, knocking him to the ground. He wrestled himself free and vanished into the fighting.
Ravenflight looked around again. Firestar was dragging himself into the bushes. Greystripe was gasping for breath on the ground. Squirreltalon squealed with pain as a tom grabbed her by the scruff.
They were losing. Ravenflight panted and gasped for breath. She had to find Surveillance.
Suddenly there was a squeal behind her.
The squeal of a hurt cat.
Stupid, Stupid, Stupid, chapter, I know! And a note to Pillbug, Glacier is not the savoir of the Clans. It was going to be Surveillance but she was bad because…well, you'll find that out in the next story, which is the sequel to this and is called Outcast. Also a note to Littlewhisker, is that your name? Well anyway, THANKYOU, THANKYOU, THANKYOU, for reviewing!
So review everybody! It makes me update faster, you know!
