Nightstar, Manzanitabranch, Sparrowtail, and Dawnlight stared at what looked like a giant round bush.
"I wander what she wants?" Dawnlight asked quietly.
Sparrowtail shrugged and preceded to wrestle her way through the thick leafy branches. Nightstar, Manzanitabranch, and Dawnlight followed her into a large clearing the tangled branches had hidden. Duskstar had perched herself on a small, stone cave that seemed to rise out of the earth. Behind her was Redwood, Mouselily, and Silverpaw.
"Nightstar, Manzanitabranch, Dawnlight, LeafClanner," Duskstar gave a curt nod.
Sparrowtail twitched; never once had Duskstar called her by her real name. Irritating...The she realized something.
"How did you know Nightstar and Manzanitabranch's name?" Sparrowtail hissed suspiciously.
The cold she-cat smirked a bit.
"You sneaky piece of foxdung! You've been spying on us!" Nightstar yowled angrily.
"Of course! Now to other matters; I bet you're wondering why I called you here Dawnlight," Duskstar stated calmly.
Dawnlight nodded curiously.
"The reason I wanted you here is because...I need to kill you," she said it like it was just any old thing.
Dawnlight's eyes widened in disbelief. WHAT?! Maybe she didn't hear that right. She couldn'tof heard her right. Duskstar would never hurt her!
"Y-you can't mean that!" Dawnlight stuttered fearfully.
"Oh but I do. Now hold still, I want to make this quick," Duskstar quickly unsheathed her large claws.
It didn't take long for Dawnlight to rush into the fox-length thick, mess of branches.
"Hehe. So you want to play? Alright, we'll play the last and hardest game you'll ever play," Duskstar hissed demonically.
The evil-eyed she-cat opened her mouth to taste the air.
"I have to give you some credit Dawnlight; you always were to best hunter in the clan. When you were stalking prey, even I didn't know where you were," Duskstar seemed to be talking to nothing but air, "But you always were a coward. I not very surprised that you ran away."
Sparrowtail tensed; Dawnlight ran away? She couldn't! Dawnlight is not a coward!
"Dawnlight is not a coward," Sparrowtail whispered.
Duskstar whipped her head around to glare and Sparrowtail, "What was that?"
Sparrowtail winced painfully as she made eye contact with Duskstar. She took a deep breath, and wondered if she should answer.
"I said, Dawnlight is not a coward. You don't know her at all!"
That was obviously the wrong thing to say, because the next thing she knew, Duskstar in her neko form was sitting on top of her. Duskstar held her head steady as she peered into Sparrowtail's eyes. Nothing could describe the sheering pain that came next. Oh StarClan! Sparrowtail wanted to die right then and there! It was as if someone was ripping her entire body to shreds. Sparrowtail could no longer see anything but those awful, deep blue eyes. The whites of Sparrowtail's eyes slowly began to turn a misty blue; she could feel the blood and tears well up in her eyes. StarClan, was this her end?
"Leave her alone!"
Sparrowtail broke her gaze from Duskstar to stare into warm, honey amber eyes. The pain immedietly washed away as she looked into them. Dawnight now looked just like Duskstar except for her honey amber eyes and shoulder length white hair with black and gold splotches.
"You're a neko!" Manzanitabranch blinked in shock.
Dawnlight nodded and turned back to Duskstar.
"I'm ready to fight you, sister," Dawnlight hissed.
Dawnlight desperately tried to hide the pain in her eyes as Duskstar walked over to her.
"I've underestimated you Dawnlight. I guess you're not a coward. That, or you're just really mouse-brained," Duskstar sneered.
Was that some sort of a compliment? If it was, that would make Dawnlight very happy. Since most of her time was spent trying to impress Duskstar. Dawnlight was so busy thinking, she barely noticed the fist heading towards her.
CRACK!
The calico neko fell back in shock. Dawnlight had to use all of her strenghth not to cry.
"I was wrong, I haven't underestimated you. You will always just be a weak little kit," Duskstar hissed spitefully.
Nothing could stop the tears that streamed down her face now. Duskstar was right, she was just a weak little kit. Dawnlight didn't even try to resist as her sister raised her up in the air by her neck. This was it, this was the end for her.
"Don't give up Dawnlight! You're not weak! I know you can do it!"
That was Sparrowtail's voice. Dawnlight didn't have to turn around to know that voice. Don't give up. You can do it. Those words seemed to rush through her head. Yes, she couldn't give up. Never! Duskstar yowled out as two feet connected with her stomach. Dawnlight dropped to her feet when Duskstar stumbled back.
"Now this is a fight."
Blow after blow was exchanged as Dawnlight and Duskstar fought. The battle seemed to go on forever!
"Had enough?" Duskstar wheezed.
"Never!" Dawnlight snarled.
Duskstar tackled Dawnlight to the ground. Both of the turned back into cats as they rolled into the Frozen Cave. The sisters got up onto their feet and glared into each others eyes. An icy shock came over them as soon as their eyes met; everything went black.
All Sparrowtail could do was watch as the two sisters rolled into the cave. Then their was silence.
"Wh-what happened?" Manzanitabranch bit her lip in fear.
Mouselily cautiously walked into the cave and came out a few moments later.
"They're both frozen solid!" Mouselily cried out in shock.
Redwood face scrunched up in fury and sadness.
"Redwood, I'm really sorry about-" Sparrowtail set her hand on his shoulder.
Redwood jerked away, "This is all you're fault!"
Sparrowtail stepped back in fear.
"I hate LeafClan!" Redwood turned to stomp off, motioning for his clanmates to follow.
Just before he left, Redwood sent them a death glare so horrible, it sent chills down their spines.
"You will all pay."
The End! I hope you enjoyed this, because I didn't! I bet you can guess who the next villan is going to be! Keep watch for LeafClan: 20 Years Later! And I need your e-mail Crystalstar.
