Warriors Secrets of Shadows: Alpha and Omega

Chapter 14

The forest carried cool near moonhigh air, making some cats shiver. Whitestar examined the terrain as she walked to stand by Onestar. "Any wolves?" She asked the white and ginger tom, who stood and looked down at his claws, checking them for sharpness after he had sharpened them on some fox teeth. "No, and funny as it doesn't seem to be too late," Onestar was cut off by a howl. Now there was an unnatural stillness. The tom looked over his shoulder. "Minnowwhisker, Rainfrost," he angled his ears.
The two young she-cats nodded and got in their stances to stalk, both keeping low.
"Wolf scent. Not stale either." Rainfrost meowed.
"Mouse dung!" Silverleap cursed lashing her tail.
"What now?" Whitemane asked Onestar.
"A wolf. And it's close." Feralstorm hissed before the leader could say anything.
The cats all got in their battle stances. A wolf ran towards them, snarling.
"Attack!" Whitestar and Onestar yowled. All of the cats of the patrol bounded forward, claws ready. The wolf growled and slowly held its stance. The patrolling cats of both clans matched their leaders bound for bound.
The wolf snarled and lunged at the nearest cat--Brightstripe? It looked like ScarClan and AshClan were charging at the wolf just like the WolfClan and ViperClan cats.
The wolf grabbed Brightstripe by the paw and flung her.
"Go for it's face!" Silverwing shrieked as she clawed at it furiously beside Webwhisker, who's eyes gleamed with determination.
Sneakingfoot was seen biting its leg. Feralstorm and Lightspot both clung to its flank on one side, while Silverleap and Minnowwhisker went for it's left shoulder.
Onestar sinked his claws into the wolf's right shoulder. The wolf howled and tried to shake him off.
Crimsonstar and Foxstar went for it's back, clinging on and biting hard. The wolf yelped and took off. All of the cats got off of it as it ran. Then, it skidded away.
"Victory!" Sneakingfoot yowled. Cats yowled behind him.
Brightstripe limped forward, her head looking down at the ground. She bristled and wailed out loudly;her head to the sky, whirling on her paws, looking for something. The ginger tabby stomped over to a tree and clawed at it. Again and again as cats stared at her.
"Hey calm down." Webwhisker soothed as he drew near.
"Go away!" Brightstripe shrieked as she pelted through the forest.
"Brightstripe!" Silverwing called out. Cats turned their attention towards them.
"After her! Make sure she doesn't go near the wolves!" Crimsonstar ordered his cats.
Some cats nodded and raced after her. Silverwing was up ahead more than anycat.
"Do you want our help with this?" Whitestar asked Crimsonstar.
"You wouldn't mind?" Crimsonstar asked her, his ears pricking.
"Dawnreed, Mossfur, Ryenose, Jayfang, Sedgeclaw, Jaggedtooth, go after her with them." Whitestar ordered.
The cats she had named followed behind them trying to catch up. Once again, Silverwing was running up ahead.
"Silverwing! Sl-slow down!" Webwhisker puffed.
"Yeah!" Shadowtuft meowed in agreement.
Mossfur panted. "Wait up!" She was running beside Jayfang.
Silverwing looked around. "We have to find her."
"Where could she have gone?" Ryenose asked.
"I believe I could help with that." Eagle meowed as he limped from the back with one paw off the ground.
"What are you doing over here?" Hollyheart asked.
"Trust me. I can pick up a scent." He mewed, his sightless eyes looking at nothing.
"Well then do it."
The gray and brown legged tom lifted his head to part his jaws and drink in a scent. He padded around and sniffed. "You're friend's gone." He told them. "We're well aware of that." Dawnreed meowed rolling her eyes.
"No. I mean she's really gone. As in she's no longer in the forest." Eagle mewed.
