In The Shadows

Back in Action

*"It was like a sign, were we meant to meet up again?"*

      After what seemed like ages, we finished off our conversation. I figured out she hadn't talked too anyone from the ShadowClan since the invasion. She had fled too this town and blended in quite fast before anyone got suspicous. 

A knock was heard from the door. "Miss. Ana, Someone says they are here too see you" Mary's frail little voice was slightly faint. I looked at Gabi with worry and threw my cloak on. "Who else know's your here Ana" Gabi whispered as she draped her cloak over her shoulders and lifted the hood over her face, hiding her Auburn hair. "No one, Only you and the townspeople." I grabbed the door handle and walked out with Gabi not far behind. 

Mary stood with a male behind her grabbing her neck from behind. I looked behind me for Gabi, but she was no where too be found. Looking back at Mary and her attacker, I recognized him right away. "CloudClan Member..." I smirked and stood taller. His grip tightened and Mary's eyes grew wider. "You still recognize me Ana, Im surprised." His brown hair was matted and dirty, he looked as if he hadn't bathed in ages. 

"How couldn't I remember you Timothy, You betrayed us when I first joined the ShadowClan, You were simply jealous of what I would become." I hissed under my hood and watched as his face grew angrier and his grip tightened around Mary's poor, frail neck. I had just noticed her husband laying on the floor near the door. My fists tightened under my cloak. "I was never jealous, I was simply bewildered they let a runt like you into our group. So I took lead with the CloudClan and ran your little butt's out of your sanctuary. How do you think they found it in the first place?" He smiled. 

Me, A runt? Timothy was the shortest person I knew! He was just taller than Mary, When I had first met him in the ShadowClan, He was weak and scrawny, Him being 17 I was suprised by how strong he has grown too be. I chuckled "You really think I came alone" I hissed and looked up. 

"Hu-" Timothy was inturrupted by a sharp blow too the back. He released Mary and fell too his knees. Mary scurried over too my side and I pushed her gently behind me. "W-What the h-" He stammered and tried too stand up, but was thrown too the ground completely. I looked and saw Gabi standing behind him with her hood over her head. Gabi lifted her foot and brought it down with excruciating force onto his side. He screamed and went limp. 

"Oops" Gabi snickered and lifted him up. His head hung low and he grumbled. "I never travel alone" I soothed and lifted his head with my hand. "How did you find me?" I growled and tensed my fingers, squeezing his scalp. Timothy cringed and mumbled. Gabi pulled his arm behind his back and waited for his answer. "I followed you Okay!, I was ordered by our leader and he wanted you dead, he had heard you were back and he demands all remaining members of ShadowClan too be killed!" He spilled out as the pain in his shoulder and elbow hightened. Gabi released his arm and let him drop too the floor.

"We are back in action arn't we Gabi" I smirked and looked at Gabi. Gabi laughed and picked Timothy up by his neck. "What are we gonna do with this little rat?" Gabi chirped and brought her head closer too the side of Timothy's head, intimidating him too the point he started too shake uncontrollably. "Why don't we take out the trash" I picked up Mary's husband and set him in a chair by the fireplace, Mary rushed too his side and tended too him. 

Gabi and I walked outside with Timothy in Gabi's grip. I opened a wooden trash can and Gabi shoved Timothy inside. She lowered her head too beside Timothy's and whispered cruelly "Why don't you go back too your leader and tell him how bad you failed this mission." We walked back inside the inn and helped Mary with her husband. Rick was only knocked out and had a minor bruise on his forehead. Mary thanked us and gave us little gifts of food and drinks. Gabi took them and put them in her purple embroidered knapsack under her cloak. 

"Where should we go now, This town is no longer safe" Gabi explained as she led me too an ally she had set up home in. "Have you heard anything from Jordan or Kyle?" I asked Gabi as she gathered up some of her things and shoved them in her knapsack. "Ive heard things about them both, I think Jordan is in a larger town and Kyle a small village north of the mountains. We can reach Jordan if we follow the river." She stood up and led me too the river. "Ready to go?" She lifted her hood down and smiled. 

*"Of course I am"*
