MockingJay's Curse

Chapter Thirteen

SoulClan cats poured through the StormClan cats camp. Waves after waves, cats after cats.

RumbleStar leapt out of his den and yowled loudly "STORMCLAN!TO ME!" As soon as the words were said, his noble warriors were by his side. "CloudStorm, you, ColdFire, BloodWave and StrongPaw guard the nursery! Make sure no cat gets in!" The four chosen cats nodded and plunged into the mass of SoulClan cats. "RainEyes, you and RoseFlame defend the elders den! Together you are our strongest team!" They both nodded and ran around the mass to the elders den. This was it. The battle had begun.

MockingPaw ran through the forest, breathing hard as she pushed her limits. A quiet voice whispered "What you have done, will never be forgotten... Prepare yourself for an eternity of darkness... MockingJay..." MockingPaw shivered and ignored the voice. She had to make it... She just had to...

The SoulClan cats charged at RumbleStar's newly placed patrols. "STAND STRONG STORMCLAN! WE WILL NOT BE DEFEATED!" RumbleStar yowled as he threw himself at another attacker. His pelt bloodied and scarred. Wounds creating ruts in his pelt. He knew he wouldn't last much longer until StarClan claimed another life, he had to hold out... He had to.

RainEyes and RoseFlame fought, back to back, matching each other paw strike for paw strike. "Die SoulClan scum!" RainEyes yowled as he bit down hard on yet another SoulClan cat's throat. His teeth and claws were stained a deep crimson. Blood dripped from his jaws, he looked like a murderer. "How are you holding up RoseFlame?!" RainEyes shrieked to his partner. "I'm holding up fine" RoseFlame yowled in return, her pelt was covered in the blood of her enemies and a lot of her own. RoseFlame felt weak, but she knew she had to keep fighting, for RainEyes and for her Clan.

MockingPaw ran until she couldn't run anymore. She lifted her head to get a deep gulp of air, only to breathe in the scents of blood an fear. Lots of it. MockingPaw shivered at the thought of what might be happening, and where it might be coming from. Then it hit her. StormClan was already under attack. "No!" MockingPaw screeched and bolted towards the scent, it was getting stronger by the second.
