I leaped and slashed at the enemy warriors, not stopping for breathes because that'd allow them time to think how to attack me.
Leap, slash, leap, slash.
The warrior I'm attacking has scratches all over him. I let him go, and he runs, paws tapping the ground as he runs.
Pad, tap, pad, tap.
I turn around to see if anyone else need help. Reedstar, my brother, is being cornered by three of the enemies. He is in a weak condition, and on his last life. He's breathing heavily, and his scratches are bleeding.
Breathe, Bleed, Breath, Bleed.
I start to run over to help him, but I hear a wailing, I turn to see my mate bleeding, and an enemy warrior about to deliver the final blow. Her head turns to me. I turn to see Reedstar do the same the same, I cannot read their expressions.
Save them, you can't. Save them, you can't.
I need to help them both! But I can only help one. The other warriors are battling as hard as they can against so many warriors, they aren't paying attention to them.
Scratch, bite. Scratch, bite.
But I think I know what to do. But my decision will kill me and also the other cat.
I send a regretful look towards my mate, and run as fast as I can to Reedstar. I tackle one of the warriors, biting them.
Tackle, bite. Tackle, bite.
They all try to attack me as Reedstar sends me a look of thanks before limping away to the medicine cat's den. I hold off the enemy warriors long enough for him to get away. I'm attacking as hard as I possibly can. I feel a sharp pain on my neck, then darkness.
Pain, darkness. Pain, darkness.
I'm sorry that I couldn't save you. The thought of leaving you alone ever again is like claws to my heart. It hurts.
Tear, claw. Tear, claw.
Forgive me. I'll always love you…
Forgive, love. Forgive, love.
