Power of two

by Lucy Rell

The Children of Dovewing have just been born, and the two of them have learned about a prophecy about them: "Storm clouds and Luck will save the clans from darkness and the mighty oak."

13. Chapter 12 The Battle

The Battle

Cloudstorm woke. A scream perced her ears. Brairpelt howled," We are being invaded by rogues!"

Another voice yelped,"Tigerheart, and Darkclaw probably called them!"

Cloudstorm's mind raced, The battle is to soon! It can't be now!

Cloudstorm raced out of the den, only to come face to face with two rogues battling Cloverleaf. Cloudstorm joined her sisters side. The one black rogue cat swiped at Cloudstorm with a large black paw. Cloudstrom's anger grew as she donged and scrached back. Cloudstorm rolled the rogue over and racked his belly. She wipped around to see that Cloverleaf already beat the grey she-cat that she was fighting. Cloudstorm skimmed the clearing watching her clan mates fight off the invaders. It seemed as most of the rogues had fled. Toadstep was struggling with three other rogues that were trying to get into the elders den. Cloudstorm hurried over to him but it was to late. Toadstep was bleeding badly and laying limp beneath the biggest rogues paws. Cloudstorm jumped onto the rogue and nocked him off Toadstep. Toapstep was obviously dead, but Cloudstorm still wanted to defend him. She bit and clawed the rogue tom untill he was as limp as Toapstep. The other two had made their way into the elders den. Spiderleg was defending Daisy and Ferncloud against one of the rogues, but he was loosing badly, since the rogue was younger and stronger that Spiderleg. Squirrelflight and Sorreltail were fighting the other rogue, Brambleclaw and Leafpool hiding behind them. Since, Squirrelflight and Sorreltail were winning against the one rogue she-cat, Cloudstorm slid into place next to Toadstep. Cloustorm gave the rogue one good paw to the nose and he fled. The she-cat had already fled away wimpering. Cloudstorm and the elders entered into the clearing all the rogue cats had fled. Cloudstorm figured that Tigerheart and Darkclaw had been to scared to show up them-selves, because she had not seen them during the battle.

Then a thought crossed her mind, If Darkclaw and Tigerheart are still alive, then .. then it's not over yet.
