Stars Flight

Chapter 19

PufferPelt scurried into camp, the scent of blood was thick, cats slashed at dark warriors, the ghosts outline red as the moon. " Well, it's the cat of the hour, come on Star, go save your clan " A Dark brown tabby approached him, his underbelly white as snow. " Your HawkFrost...I've heard stories of you, you took one of FireStar lives " PufferPelt growled, arching his back. " Yes, I did, but I'll allow my father to finish him, I'm here to take care of you " HawkFrost snickered, and Leapt at PufferPelt. PufferPelt dodged, and grabbed HawkFrosts scruff, and tossed him back. " PufferPelt! Help me! " PufferPelt turned, LilyPaw was pinned down under a tan dark forest cat. " LilyPaw! I'm coming! " PufferPelt ran toward her, but was tackled down, pinned by HawkFrost " Nuh uh, you can watched your apprentice die, and then your Kits " HawkFrost hissed, Holding PufferPelts head " Do it RushTooth! " HawkFrost called, and the cat raised his paw, ready to slash. " Hey! Get away from our sister! " A small voice called, and PufferPelt watched HawkPaw and JaggedPaw run up to RushTooth, and pulled him of. " Gah! Apprentices are the worst! " RushTooth growled, and aimlessly slashed at the three siblings, all of them leaped on him, and scratched at his sides. " Bah! Take this " RushTooth growled, and landed a blow on HawkPaw, sending him flying back. " HawkPaw! " JaggedPaw and LilyPaw ran after him. " Get them RushTooth! You oaf! " HawkFrost growled, and rolled PufferPelt over, snickering " DownPebble, is that her name? She was a pretty thing, would do anything for those kits, and she did " HawkFrost snickered; and PufferPelt growled " You didn't! you lier! " PufferPelt hissed, and HawkFrost only smirked. " No, NO " PufferPelt shouted, and kicked him off, running to the nursery. " DownPebble! " PufferPelt called, and he rushed to her nest. DownPebbles body breathed slowly. " DownPebble, what happened " PufferPelt meowed " Where are our kits " PufferPelt sat down, lapping at her side. " Ours kits are...safe...there asleep under the nursery wall....." DownPebble mewed, and looked up at PufferPelt " HawkFrost...I think that's his name...came in..and tried to hurt the kits...I fended him off, but...at a price" DownPebble mewed, and laid her head on PufferPelt paws " Please...take care of them for me....I'm sorry I won't be here...I know the queens will help you " DownPebble mewed, and closed her eyes " I love you... ". DownPebble slowly went him, her wounds light grey fur red from blood. " No, DownPebble no! " PufferPelt cried, and buried his head into DownPebbles fur " Why her...why not me?! "
