Darkness and Death are Near
(Time to enter the part there's not great place to leave off in.)
Stormstar walked out of the twoleg place. He scowled when he realized it was still raining. Before he had made it far something lunged at him, knocking him to the ground. He couldn't see what it was except that it was black and huge.
He clawed at it and tried to kick it off, but it didn't work. Then Lightningstar and Fallenstar attacked its sides. The creature spun around to attack Fallenstar, but Fallenstar was already ready. He swung his unsheathed claw across the creature's face. Unfortunately, fighting this creature was not like fighting a cat. The claw barely seemed to have affected it. It spun around and kicked Fallenstar. He went sprawling across the ground.
Now Lightningstar seemed hesitant to attack it. It charged at her. She sprang into the air and landed on its back. Stormstar and Moonstar ran in after her. They went to opposite sides of the creature and both dug their claws into it. The creature let out a wail and dropped to the ground.
Lightningstar jumped off. "What. Was. That?" she demanded while Fallenstar stumbled back to his feet.
Moonstar shook her head. "I don't know, but I have a feeling there's going to be more of them."
"What makes you think that?" Lightningstar asked.
Moonstar flicked her tail silently. They all looked where she waved it. There were creatures running towards them. The creatures were still pretty far off, but there was no doubt they were the same type as what had just attacked them.
Then four cats burst out of the bushes. "I'm Light." One of them introduced. "I'm from the Tribe of Rushing Water-"
"The what?" Stormstar interrupted. Fallenstar blinked, he was surprised there was something Stormstar didn't know.
Light flicked her tail. "No time to explain. I'm here to warn you about-"
"Them?" This time it was Moonstar who'd said it.
Light followed her gaze. Her ears went down. "Yeah. Them."
"The dark ones." One of the cats with Light growled.
Dark ones? Stormstar thought. He remembered the one part of the prophecy he hadn't understood. Now he knew. Oh no.
"Well, since we're too late to warn you, I guess we'll just have to fight too." Light decided.
"What? No!" hissed the cat who'd said the creatures were dark ones.
"You can leave if you want to Eagle." Light informed him. "But I'm staying."
"Me too." One of the other cats agreed.
"And me." The last one agreed.
There was a laugh from above them. A laugh that sounded like whoever was doing it had lost their mind. And for some of them, it was a familiar laugh. Fallenstar turned and looked up a tree. "Hello Death Trap." He said without emotion.
The others all turned towards her. "And Dinosaur." Lightningstar growled.
Dinosaur nodded. "So good to see you again Lightningstar." He greeted sarcastically.
"This all rather amusing don't you think?" Death Trap asked, walking on her branch. "Me and Dinosaur, we saw up close how many dark ones there are. Considering it took four of you to defeat one, there are more than enough of them to defeat you. Even with your unexpected help."
Stormstar glowered. He unsheathed his claws. Then Death Trap said something that distracted him. "Now where's the traitor?"
Dragonflame was trying to stand straight. It had been hard for her to stand so near to Death Trap now that she was so different. But once Death Trap said that it became impossible. She staggered to the side, falling into Eclipsepelt. Eclipsepelt gave her a concerned questioning look. Dragonflame tried to give him an explanation, but the words wouldn't come. In fact it was hard to get the air to come.
"Traitor?" Stormstar.
Lightningstar snorted. "Don't listen to her. She's just trying to distract us."
Death Trap gave one of her crazed laughs again. "On the contrary. I brought a spy to Moonclan to start a fight. She doesn't seem too pleased to see me though. You aren't happy I'm back. Are you Dragon?"
Normally, there would've been a little bit of confusion if she only used the first part of a cat's name, but there was only one cat with 'dragon' in their name. Everyone turned around and looked at Dragonflame. Her reaction was enough to confirm Death Trap's claim.
Eclipsepelt stared at her, looking so hurt. He backed away. Eclipsepelt. Dragonflame thought. She tried to say the name, but there was still no sound coming out of her mouth. Eclipsepelt turned and ran.
"Eclipsepelt!" The word came out of her mouth, and the still scene erupted. She and Moonstar ran after Eclipsepelt, but Death Trap stopped Moonstar, pouncing on her.
Considering Death Trap had jumped from a tree that led to some hard impact. Stormstar yanked her off Moonstar by the ear. But that was when the dark ones reached them. The battle had begun.
But Dragonflame didn't know any of that as she chased Eclipsepelt. And it wasn't a long chase. He ran out to the end of half bridge. One of the planks broke on Dragonflame as she tried to follow. As she scrambled to get back up, Eclipsepelt turned around, gave her a sad smile, and fell into the water.
