Riversplash's Defeat (plan on finishing soon)

Chapter twenty

Their attacks halted, but only for the two cats to hiss at the two cats who intervened.

"What are you doing, Riverpaw?! This she-cat purposefully attacked me when no cat noticed! She obviously faked her injury! She can fight just fine!"

Gecko hissed harshly.

Her tail lashed she spat out her next words: "No I didn't! He attacked me!"

Both the cats glared at each other harshly.

"It doesn't matter, mother. You wanted to be friends with the clans once again. Please, let's not create a war from this." Zinnia begged her kin, her eyes glowing in fear.

Riverpaw could clearly see the hatred between the two cats.

It didn't matter who attacked who. Whoever did was obviously in the wrong, and they needed to make peace.

Moonshine glared at Gecko.

His green eyes were blazing with anger.

"I don't want war with these cats, Zinnia, but I'm not sure this fur ball will agree." Gecko remarked, pointing her tail at Moonshine.

Moonshine gazed away with frustration.

"I don't want unnecessary war either, so you know, but she's the one who won't agree to peace. I tried offering my peace, but she attacked me."

Gecko rolled her eyes.

"I thought I was being attacked by WindClan, sorry I didn't recognize my own surroundings. Are all your warriors this tense, Riverpaw?" Gecko snorted as she casually approached the Tom, letting her brown tabby tail run across his chin.

Moonshine's face contorted into more anger.

"Your mouse-brained evil ways are what made us so tense, you Fox-hearts!" Moonshine snarled, baring his fangs and his back arched.

Gecko's claws unsheathed as the fur on her body stuck up, making her look twice her own size.

"Come at me then, uptight clan cat! Show me your clan is nothing but a bunch of pushovers!" Gecko challenged.

"Mom!" Zinnia exclaimed.

The gray tom unsheathed his claws, flexing them in anger.

"As the deputy of my clan, I won't stoop to a rogue's level. A warrior doesn't need to fight battles, unlike you, you purposeless rogue!" Moonshine flashed.

Gecko didn't hesitate to jump on him.

She still had her wounds, so what Moonshine meowed on about her faking her injuries was a lie.

Did he lie? Why would a warrior have to lie? Is my clan even an honorable one? Or are his eyes as blind as some elder's eyes are?

Riverpaw gasped as the deputy was taken down by the rogue.

Is she going to kill him?! I'm so confused.

Riverpaw was having conflicting thoughts within himself.

He wasn't sure if he could trust any cat at this point.

Zinnia told him her mom didn't want to hurt anyone, but Riverpaw could see how she was enjoying fighting the dark gray Tom.

The female had the upper paw for the time being, battering the tom's ears with her paws.

The tom furiously kicked her off of him.

The aftermath of his throw sent her against the wall.

A cracking sound could be heard as her body fell to the floor, and she was lying limp.
