Chapter 8


"There is nothing to explain, YOU CHEATED ON ME!" Donny roared, raising a paw to strike sunflower. Few Cats, no, only one cat knew that Donny, once possesed with anger, could fight like all the clans combined, and was not afraid to beat she cats.

"Donny, please NO!" She wailed, but Donny's paw came down, Sunflower winced, then realized that she was unhurt, she looked up and saw a fuming mad Hawkfur standing over her, a fresh set of claw marks on her shoulder.

"Stand down Donny, you saw what I did to Icenose... and I could easily kill you." Hawkfur said, the calmness in her voice was unnerving. Donny ignored that.

"PFTAAAHG!" Donny spat," You've just got issues Missy, now lemme at that backstabbing bitch!" Donny growled, lunging at sunflower.

"Donny, Let me make this clear, I was given... a gift. By the spirits of cats long gone." Hawkfur growled, fending off his attack like that of an annoying kit.

Donny retreated a bit, a slice evident on his nose.

"like what?" Donny hissed enraged and circling Hawkfur.

"I can be killed nine times, and still have a life left to live." She hissed, her claws slid out. " Ask Icenose."

"Is this filth true Icenose?" Donny ordered.

"Yes." Icenose said.

"Well, let's just test that theory now." Donny said.

"You wouldn't..."Hawkfur hissed, already braced for battle, adrenaline surging in her veins.

"Wanna Bet? My father was Scourge! True king of the feline species!" He yowled. Hawkfur cringed at the name of Donny's father.

"You... you're no cat... You're the spawn of a filthy little demon!" Hawkfur spat, painful past memories of rape and scourge flowed through her mind, and hatred filled her veins.

"Don't you dare insult the King!" Donny roared.

"I don't want to fight you Donny" Hawkfur Warned, though it was clear she wanted to fight to the death, and she knew it would be wrong, since she would CLEARLY win, and even sadder still, she was enraged and didn't care.

"Then It's an easy win!" he shouted, and he leapt at the claws outstretched, Fangs beared. Donny was intent on killing her.

Hawkfur reacted faster than Donny could blink, Before he could finish his attack, her jaws were on his throat, and she was growling to him in a deathly serious voice,

"Donny, I could kill you now and here, but I'm better than the demon that helped spawn you, and will let you live."

"Why? afraid Your boyfriend will-" He choked and gasped as the pressure on his throat increased.

"Do you really want to die?" Hawkfur hissed.

"No... no... no...'" his voice faded and he fell from her jaws, limp, but breathing. Sunflower stammered and stared at Hawkfur.

"Rosepetals, you'll need to keep him sedated with poppy seeds for a day or so, until the adrenaline wears off." Hawkfur said.

"Yes hawkfur..."Rosepeatls said, unafriad of hawkfur, despite seeing her nearly kill Donny.

"I'll tell you all my story when the time is right." she told the cats around her, more to fill the silence than to explain.

"Cats of The Shadow Dwelling! I have an announcement!" Shadowface yowled. "I am withdrawing my leadership." he said stoically. A murmur ran though the crowd of cats. "And I am bestowing the Leadership rights To Hawkfur!" He announced, "If she accepts that is." he added sheepishly.

" I accept, but with my leadership comes new rules, new traditions, new ways of thinking, Some of you will not accept the way I think, others will embrace it. Do You, the cats of the Shadow Dwelling, accept this privilege which only a handful of rouges like me live by?" Hawkfur responded.

Hawkfur's statement was met by many Yowls of agreement.

"Good, then as of now... You all refer to me as Hawkstar." Hawkfur said, a familiar and welcome surge of warmth filled her,the fact that she was a leader once more was a pleasant one and it felt... right somehow.
