Bloodclan Queen

Chapter 20

Scourge POV

The hair along my spine rose up as I heard the screech outside. Ivy's eyes widened as she sniffed the air.

"It's Blue! Of all the times he chooses to attack, it had to be now!" She hissed, ears flat against her head.

I pressed my nose to her forehead. "I'll protect you and our kits." I vowed. She gazed at me with wide, trusting, blue eyes.

Nut burst into the den just then. "Scourge! It's Blue! They need you out there! I'll stay with Ivy." She panted.

I nodded.

"Scourge! Stay safe." Ivy mewed after me as I was leaving the den. I looked back and nodded at her.

"I won't let anything happen to you." I promised, leaping out of the den.

I saw several of my cats fighting. I couldn't tell who was loyal to who. I decided to go with my gut feeling and confront Blue.

My eyes darted around the battlefield until I found a familiar black and white pelt.

"Blue!" I roared, charging at him.

He jumped out of the way just as I got close to him. "Ah, Scourge!" He purred. "How nice to see you! I don't suppose you could tell me where I could find Ivy?"

I glared at him, tail lashing. "You will stay away from her." I growled, hatred dripping from my voice."

"As if you could stop me. You're the size of a kit!" He sneered.

I screeched and leapt toward him, but he dodged. Whirling around quickly, he slammed a large white paw into my face, dazing me.

"Just try and hit me, kit!" He growled.

"I can help with this!" A new voice yowled. Kyla was at my side moments later.

Kyla POV

I looked around and saw Scourge fighting Blue. Scourge didn't seem to be having much luck. I'd lend him a paw.

"I can help with this!" I yowled, racing to his side.

"Kyla!" He gasped.

"You want me to fight both of you? Fine." Blue hissed. His blue eyes turned to me. "I still need to avenge my brother."

I said nothing, just leapt at him, quickly dodging to the side when he tried to attack. But instead of going for me, he caught Scourge unaware, tackling him and pinning him quickly. I screeched and leapt into Blue, knocking him off of Scourge. Blue was on his feet in an instant. He crouched, preparing to leap at me. I readied myself to dodge, but another weight bowled into my side.

I looked at the gray she cat above me. " You're the one that almost killed Ivy last time!"  I hissed.

"Storm! Perfect timing!" Blue purred. "Deal with her. I want her dead." He growled. Storm nodded.

With no hesitation, she leapt at me. She was fast! I wasn't able to dodge in time, and she was on my back within seconds, grinding her hind claws into my spine. In a desperate attempt to get her off of me, I rolled onto my back. She quickly jumped off. I realized my mistake too late, Storm didn't waste any time pouncing onto my exposed belly. I watched as she reared up and slammed her paws into my belly, knocking the wind out of me. Her jaws clamped around my neck, sharp teeth puncturing the soft skin there. I flailed, trying to get her off, but it was no use.

Then her weight was gone and her fangs left my neck. I was up within moments. I looked at the cat who had saved me.

"Duo!" I gasped, looking at the brown and black tom who was now wrestling Storm to the ground.

"Looks like you needed some help." He growled. There was a familiar screech after he said that. My eyes widened when I realized who it was.

"Ivy!" I gasped aloud, immediately regretting saying it that loud.

"I can deal with this she cat. Go help Ivy." Duo grunted, dealing hard blows to the head of a pinned Storm.

I nodded and ran to the den as fast as I could. I entered the den as soon as I got there, to see a huge gray tom cornering a hissing and spitting Ivy and her kits. I looked to my left and saw a bloodied Nut, laying unconscious. I recognized the tom from my countless moons of living in Bloodclan.

"Get out of here Flint." I growled behind the large tom.

Another cat entered the den. I whipped around to look at the new arrival. When I saw her, I feared the worst.

Well, this was supposed to be the last chapter. But I sorta made it so long it was as long as two chapters. So I split it into two. The best part? NO WAIT!
