Dawnkit's Journey

Chapter Twenty-

-[I think ima work on here for a while, and Maybe switch books every two weeks? Does that seem fair? Also, I just read last chapter. What the heck happened with the story?! It's all mutilated answer stuff! XD.   Lol. Anyways, sorry about that, just ignore it. Wattpad is apparently not a fan of mine. XD]-

"Hello Dawn." Claw purred. Dawnflight stared at her mother in shock.

"Mother?" Dawnflight breathed out. Claw pulled her lips back in a snarl.

"Now Dawn, didn't I promise the next time I saw you we would be well fed?" Claw asked. Dawnflight didn't reply. "Well, this little chat has certainly been very nice, and I was very much hoping you would have given me one of my lives, but now I understand Why you didn't. You've been alive this whole time!" Claw laughed. Lives? She can't mean...Dawnflight realized what claw meant. "Oh, dear. What's your name?"

"Dawnflight." Dawnflight coughed out as Claw dug her claws into Dawnflight's throat. Something ran down her throat, nasty tasting. Claw laughed and scrunched her nose as if a vile scent filled her nose.

"Horrible name darling. Want to know mine?" Claw paused, but continued before Dawnflight could answer. "Clawstar. Im a leader now, can you believe it?"

Dawnflight's eyes bulged from her head as she heard this. Clawstar opened her jaws to say something else, but then another yowl sounded.

"What are you doing to that poor warrior?" Dawnflight struggled to glance at the new warrior that had arrived. A black she-cat with grassy green eyes and a patrol of six cats behind her stood, glaring at Clawstar.

"Blackfur. Pleasantly surprised." Clawstar spat. She leaped off Dawnflight. "We are teaching these trespassers a lesson."

"They've been taught." Blackfur narrowed her eyes. She took a small step forward, her obviously pregnant stomach swinging slightly. Clawstar crouched down, tail swirling. Her warriors followed suit. Blackfur turned around and walked back. Her warriors crouched and readied for battle.

~•~

"Where were we?" Clawstar wiped her bloodied paws on the stained grass. Dawnflight stared at Blackfur's dead body in horror. Her stomach was ripped open by Clawstar, revealing her now dead kits. Bile rose in Dawnflight's throat. Clawstar had killed innocent kits to prove her strength. Clawstar, in one swift movement, slashed Dawnflight's chest. Blood spilled from the wounds, and Clawstar leaned towards Dawnflight.

"Don't get me wrong, you're like a daughter to me," Clawstar chuckled at her disclaiming of Dawnflight. "but I can't shake the excitement of killing someone. The feeling of your claws sliding through their throats, ripping them to shreds. Which is Why Im done talking, and I am not sad to inform you that you won't be going home tonight."

"Mot...ther...you..." Dawnflight gurgled. Clawstar sighed and placed her paw on Dawnflight's throat. Dawnflight closed her eyes and waited. But it didn't come. The pressure lifted. Dawnflight opened her eyes and looked for what saved her. Clawstar stared at the sky blankly, then screeched.

"My eyes!" Clawstar screeched. "I can't see!"

Dawnflight struggled to her paws as Clawstar stumbled around. Clawstar tripped over a stone, yelping as she tumbled to the ground. One of her warriors nudged her up, giving Dawnflight the chance she needed. She glanced around for Bluewhisker, but didn't see him, so she pelted away.

~•~

"Bluewhisker!" Dawnflight cried. Bluewhisker was laying on the river's edge, still. He didn't move as Dawnflight stumbled to him. Rolling him over slowly, Dawnflight choked back a cry as she saw his glazed eyes staring at nothing. Her heart wrenched as she realized he was dead. She fell, landing on him. All his fur around his neck was bloodied, a huge gash on his neck the cause. Dawnflight sobbed weakly into his fur until darkness swallowed her weak being up.
