Chapter 17

Angel open one eye to see she was in the Medicine Cat's den. "Ugh, my leg hurts." She moaned, then some things moved around her and she saw Scourge and Stream looking at her with worried eyes. Stream began to vigorously licking her. Angel looked at her leg and saw it was wrapped tightly up. Then she tried to open her other eye but it would not open. She placed a paw on it and felt that it was wrapped up too.

Scourge looked at her with guilt and grief. "Your sister tore your eye and ripped your leg badly. We were afraid you were going to die. Rose said even if you lived you will never be able to see out of your eye again or fight." He lowered his head. "I'm sorry...you don't have to worry about Death anymore though...I've banished her."

"She'll be back." Snarled Angel, making both Scourge and Stream look at her in surprise. "What do you mean, she wouldn't come back knowing she'll be killed, would she?" asked her mother, fear edged her meow. "Yes she would but not alone...I might never be able to see out of my left eye again but I will fight again." Meowed Angel with determination in her eye.

She began to stumble to her paws, falling a lot. But she didn't quit. Just as Rose came padding in Angel had manage to get herself standing. Rose looked at her in surprise and padded over to help her. Rose knew she would try, and didn't plan on stopping her.

Once Angel was finally able to stand on her own she began to try and walk to the entrant of the den. She stumbled and fell flat on her face, she gave a strangle cry, but got right back on her paws. 'I will walk again, today!' she thought, trying again. After a few fail attempts and the others begging her to rest, she made it to the den entrant. There she collapse. She gave a sigh of relief, 'Made it.' Then she closed her eyes for a little rest.

When she woke again she felt two warm body's pressed against her. She open her eye to see Claw and Tyco curled around her. She looked at them and tried to hold back the purr of amusement as she watched Claw twitched in his sleep as though he was hunting something. Tyco was on his back and twitching around as though he was rolling in catnip. 'They look so cute when they're sleeping and not trying to claw each other's throats out.' She nestled back into their fur and fell asleep to the image of their sleeping faces.

Something moved beside her and she lifted her head to see Claw and Tyco stretching at the den entrant. She mumbled, "Good morning." And curled her tail over her paws and nose. Both toms looked at her in shock. "You're awake!" they then both rushed over to her and nuzzled her cheek.

"Yup, I woke up yesterday." Angel meowed as she tried to shoo them away. "Hey did you know you twitch in your sleep Claw? It's really cute."

Angel purred as Claw looked at her in embarrassment. "Nnn-nnoo-nno." He stuttered, Tyco looked at him and snickered. Claw just glared at him. "Tyco when you sleep you look like your high on catnip." Angel purred, looking at the tom as he twitched his ear, Claw snickered at him.

Tyco ignored him, "Are you goanna get up today?" he asked hopefully. Claw nodded in agreement. Angel thought about it then nodded. As she stumbled to her paws, with both males on either side of her. She limped to the den entrant, falling only three times. 'Ugh...the entrant not even that far away. This is going to be a very long day.'

As they exited the den cats turned in their direction. Sugar one of the meanest cats in BloodClan padded up. "I'm sorry for what happened we are trying to locate her..." Sugar trailed off and began to growl angrily.

"Don't worry she will return, I know it." Meowed Angel, her eyes narrowed into slits. Sugar nodded and began to growl at a group of young cats who were just lying around. They quickly got up and raced away to do something useful.

"ANGEL!!!!"

Angel turned to see her brother with his two buddies, who never seem to be far behind, come racing up to her. Kill nuzzles his sister's cheek. "You're alive! You had me very worried I thought you were going to die, I don't know what I would of done if you did, well actually I do I would of hunt Death down and tore her into a million pieces, then I would of feed her to a bunch of dogs and then-"

Angel placed her tail over her brother's muzzle, "Okay we get it." She purred. Kill sighed and calm down.

Kill turned to Hawk and Dirt, who as she got a better look at them, were covered in new wounds. "Hawk, Dirt, tell her what you have found out." He commanded. They bowed their heads and turned to Angel.

Dirt spoke first, "Death has made an alliance with rogues." Then Hawk spoke, "She is now having her group of rogues attack our patrols." Dirt. "We have lost a few cats." Hawk finished. "Snip, Chip, Rock, Storm, and Rag."

Angel looked at them, "They killed Rock, but she is only our age ten moons. Not even a full grown cat."

"They are rogues, they'll kill anything with a heartbeat." Mumbled Claw, Angel turned to him to see he was not looking at her. 'Is he remembering something?' she wondered.

"How many cats are still able to fight and hunt?" she meowed, Kill turned to her. "Ummm, well, Taco, Fallen, Wings, Digger, Song, Blaze, Blue, and Bird are all too injured to fight. So that leaves thirty-four cats not including us, Rose, Bone, Brick, dad, mom, or the elders."

"Hmm, that'll do." Angel meowed and limped to go do something. Claw and Tyco hurry to follow her. As they leave the ally and head toward the forest, Angel turns to Tyco. "Do you think you can get some foxes to help us out?"

Tyco was shock by her question but nodded his head, "Good. Now lead the way to wherever you came from, cause I have no clue and neither does Claw!" she meowed cheerfully. The toms purred in amusement.

"Okay, but it'll be a few days journey should we tell the Clan?" Tyco asked, Angel looked at him and meowed. "Let them suffer."

"Where do you think your going?"

The trio turned around to come faced to faced with a group of she-cats. Stream padded forward and meowed, "Your going nowhere without me!"

"Yeah, we're coming with you!" meowed Brick, Rose and Whisker nodded. "Aaa, won't BloodClan need you Rose?"

"No, Poppy can deal with them." She shrugged.

"Okay then, LET'S GO!" purred Angel, as she limped away. Tyco meowed, "Aaa...it's the other way." Angel turned and meowed. "Well how in our ancestor's name am I suppose to know that?"

They padded off to start the journey to Tyco's home.
