Warriors Cats Fanfiction: Darkshade's Insanity Pt.2

Chapter Eleven (Ending!)

*Two Moons Later...*

The air was quiet. No one spoke a single word. The only sound heard was the bitter sound of silence and the cold, sour winds of Leaf Bare. The rogues huddled in groups to keep warm, and every rogue was losing sanity. Stealing, murder, death all around them.

"It's s-so.. So cold.." Whispered Darkpaw, her voice trembling. She could barely feel anything from her underbelly and down.

Jay leaned up close to Darkpaw, trying desperately to warm her freezing body. "It's ok... I-it'll be o-over soon..." He breathed. He looked over at Tess. Her shivering body lay beside Darkpaw, a dusting of snow covering the top of her body.

"I... I don't wanna d-die..." Darkpaw struggled to inhale a breath of the frigid air, for it stung and burned her throat. A wracking cough stuck Darkpaw and lost all her breath. She struggled to inhale. She tried as hard as she could, but her vision was blurring, and she panicked. She gasped and collapsed in a dark brown and white heap on the ice covered stones. I'm gonna die... This is it... I'm not gonna make it till New Leaf...! She thought, as her eyes widened. Blood began to trickle out of her mouth as her shortage of breath began to dissapear.

"Hold on Darkpaw!" Yowled Jay softly. He huddled closer to her dying body, trying desperately to warm it. He started to give her quick breathes into her open mouth, gasping for air. Her body trembled as Jay tried to revive his close friend. "P-please... Don't... Don't leave me D-Darkpaw... Please...!" He trembled.

Darkpaw's vision blurred till all she could see was white. No! No this can't happen! I need to go back to him! Don't go yet! She pleaded to herself. She opened her eyes again and gasped for air. To her relief, fresh air flowed into her lungs, warming her body. The darkness around her isolated her. "Hello? Father!" She yowled for someone, but got no response.

"Looking for someone?" Hissed a voice.

Darkpaw turned her head and lowered herself to the ground in fear, her eyes widened. "What do you want, Snowtuft?" She growled.

"Oh, nothing much. Just greeting our newest member of the Dark Forest." He meowed, curling his lip to show his yellowed teeth.

"What?!" She yowled. Was he actually dead? "What do you mean?" She murmured to the fluffy, snow-white tom.

"I saw what happened. Hypothermia got the best of you, and you froze to death, mouse brain..." He said, rolling his eyes.

"Bring me back!" She spat!

"What? You miss your precious Jay, huh? Well too bad, gorgeous..." He mocked Jay's smooth tone.

Darkpaw lounged at the white tom, scoring him across his face. Snowtuft fell back, and scrambled to his paws. He jumped at Darkpaw, clamping down on her neck. Darkpaw relaxed and fell limp, slithering out of Snowtuft's not so strong of a grip. She grabbed hold of his underbelly with her paws and flipped him onto his back. She was just about to rip through his throat when she realized what she'd been doing. The raged died from her eyes, and the chilled feeling drifted from her blood. "I-I'm sorry.." She murmured before spinning around and running into the bushes. She slammed into a sturdy, bulky figure and fell back, landing hard on her side.

"Where do you think you're going?" Hissed the deep growl of Tigerstar.

"BRING ME BACK!" She hissed

Tigerstar looked at her strangely. "You're dead...?" He said raising an (invisible) eyebrow.

"Yes. Now bring me back to Jay!" She spat at her much hated father.

"Oh, yes. I forgot about your little Leaf Bare probldm. Don't you want yo say goodbye to a friend of yours before you go back, though?" He hissed.

"W-what do you mean...?" She whispered. Her mouth gaped and her eyed widened in sorrow as she saw the pale spirit of Tess stalk from the shadows.
