Chapter 16, soft as a feather, sharp as a bramble

All black. That was all Ravenflight could see. She didn't blink open an eye, or stand up. She couldn't.

Her head was on fire. She didn't move.

I'm dead. She thought. She thought it over and over. I'm dead, I'm dead, I'm dead.

"No your not."

"Go away," Ravenflight hissed at the voice.

"Silence!" the voice snarled. "Go back Ravenflight. But remember, I will be watching you."

OoOoO

Ravenflight stood up. She looked at Surveillance, only a few feet away. She stalked foreword and jumped.

Surveillance gave an angry snarl. She whirled around aggressively and batted away Ravenflight with her front claws.

Ravenflight swirled around and her claws scratched on Surveillance. Three cuts appeared on the cat's milky white cheek. The blood glistened in the half-light.

Surveillance's lips curled away from her teeth. She snapped at Ravenflight, and the white cat's blood splattered Ravenflight's dark tabby coat.

Surveillance started shimmering with speed. She moved like water and raked her claws at Ravenflight. Ravenflight felt incredibly slow next to her.

She jumped around lightly, her paws landing neatly on the ground. She whisked a blow to Surveillance's head. Surveillance growled and tore at Ravenflight, all teeth and claws. Ravenflight was scratched and bit, and she bit and scratched, not even knowing what she was attacking.

Finally they pulled apart. Ravenflight knew she would die soon. She sighed, then walked foreword calmly to Surveillance, her claws sheathed and her teeth covered. She kept walking toward her enemy.

And jumped. She was fast, incredibly fast now. Her claws came foreword first, pinning Surveillance down. Then her teeth were next. She grasped Surveillance's neck and bit down hard.

Surveillance gave a low moan and she glared up at Ravenflight. She hissed, and the hiss stopped in the middle. She was dead.

Gone.
