Shadowclaw followed Blaze as he climbed another fence. She had followed him over the night and her paws were getting heavy.
"Who were we suposed to meet again?" Shadowclaw demanded and narrowed her eyes. Blaze looked back at her.
"A rogue called Leaf. She's so old i think she cant see" Blaze let out a mrrow of amusement and looked back at Shadowclaw as he waited for her to grin. Shadowclaw flexed her claws.
"Get me to that tom!" Shadowclaw hissed. Blaze lowered his ears. But started laughing.
"Its a she-cat" he corrected her. Shadowclaw drew her lips back in a fierce snarl.
"I dont care!" Shadowclaw hissed at Blaze.Blaze turned his head as he found something. Then looked down at Shadowclaw.
"Get up here!" He rushed her. Dont rush me kittypet! Shadowclaw crawled down, ready to jump. She jumped up in the air and sank her claws into the wood.
"There should be a short cut down here" Blaze informed and leaped down.
"And i just got up" Shadowclaw muttered and leaped down again.Blaze straightened his tail in the air. Shadowclaw got down in fighting position.
"What is it?" Shadowclaw lowly hissed. Blaze turned to her.
"Cant you smell it?" Blaze asked confused.
"I've been in this crow-fooded area that has the same scents" She snarled. Suddenly a bark echoed down the path. Shadowclaw looked at Blaze but saw him climb up on the fence using small brown hills. (Boxes)Shadowclaw sneered at Blaze.
"Your death will be quick" Shadowclaw hissed under her breath. A big tall, skinny brown and black dog slowly stepped out of the shadows. Shadowclaw turned her head to face the big creature.
"Use that fighting tecnuiqes you got!" Blaze cheered from the fence. Shadowclaw shoot him a glare.
"Shut up!" She shouted. The dog quickly raced towards Shadowclaw.It quickly tried to bite Shadowclaw in the back, but Shadowclaw moved her body and swung a claw at the dog's eye. The dog started to yowl in pain. Shadowclaw crouched down. The dog shook its head in pain. Shadowclaw leaped up on the dog and sunk her claws deep into its fur. The dog started barking.
The dog got Shadowclaw off its flank and raced howling away. Shadowclaw landed on her paws, clawing the ground trying to hold her balance. She looked after the whiny dog, with blood on her claws.
"Awesome!" Blaze squiled and jumped down from the fence. He landed behind Shadowclaw and padded up to her.
"Is that what forest cats learn? Will you teach me?" Blaze asked and looked at Shadowclaw with exitement shining in his eyes. Enough!!!
Shadowclaw swung a claw at Blaze's ear. Blaze took paces back in surprise and panic. His ear started bleeding.
Blaze crouched in fear."Wh-what was that for?" He asked. His voice trembling. Shadowclaw narrowed her eyes and sheated her claws.
"What was that for? For trying to kill me!!!" Shadowclaw hissed. Blaze looked confused.
"What no! I didnt want to kill you" Blaze insisted and stood straight.
Shadowclaw lifted an eyebrow.
"Oh yeah? Explain to me why you lead me into a dog, and then didnt bother trying to help me?!" Shadowclaw hissed, unsheating her claws. Blaze looked at her with his green eyes."I thought... you forest cats were used to fight dogs?" Blaze asked.
"We only fight dogs if they're on our terrirory!" Shadowclaw explained. Looming into Blaze with her narrowed green gaze.
"Oh... im sorry" Blaze apolagized. Shadowclaw widened her eyes in anger.
"Sorry doesnt cut it! you almost got me killed!" She spat.
"Yeah but you fought it off" Blaze mewed. Completely ignoring his injury."No this, this is how i fight things off!" Shadowclaw sneered and leaped on Blaze, pinning him down. She opened her mouth and dig her fangs down in Blaze's shoulder. Blaze yowled in pain.
"Stop it!" He shrieked and tried to push Shadowclaw off. But Shadowclaw had sunk her claws into his belly. She raised a claw and flung it at Blaze's throat. Blaze stopped struggling and started grasping for air."Dont try to kill me..." Shadowclaw breathed, licking the blood away from her lips. Blaze's frozen body was lying
Dead on the ground. Shadowclaw turned around and lashed her tail over Blaze's nose, and padded away.-----------------------------------------------------------
When am i gonna reach it? Shadowclaw wondered but kept walking. She had left Blaze on the ground bleeding to death. She had continued by herself to find this Leaf.
Shadowclaw found herself in a odd place, like she'd been here before.
"Hello!" Shadowclaw jumped high in the air in surprise. Shadowclaw landed on her paws and searched the area. She noticed a small brown she-cat with a yellow color sitting in a hole to a two-legs nest."Im Harley. You are the new house cat i saw yesterday" Harley mewed. Shadowclaw had a sudden urge to kill this kittypet. Shadowclaw narrowed her eyes and flexed her claws.
"Oh no! Dont harm with your oh so sharp claws" Harley begged in a teasing way. Then the kittypet started laughing. Shadowclaw twitched her ears in confusion. Shadowclaw sneered at the she-cat.
"Look, i dont want to talk but, do you know where a rogue named Lead is at?" Shadowclaw asked the brown kittypet. Harley gave a long sigh.
"That she-cat! Yes i know very well where she is. I'll take you to her" Harley mewed and jumped down from the hole. I dont need an escort! Harley started padding the other way Blaze took Shadowclaw. Shadowclaw padded after the brown kittypet. Harley turned left and found a hole in a rodden fence. Harley gave Shadowclaw space."Leaf is on the other side" Harley mewed. Shadowclaw dipped her head in thankness. Why would Blaze lead me away? Shadowclaw thought and pushed herself through the hole. He probaly wanted to see me fight that dog that badly. So eager. Shadowclaw tried to walk but noticed her tail was stuck.
"Mouse dung!" Shadowclaw hissed and pulled her tail with her. Shadowclaw looked around. A dark place with lots of cats. Shadowclaw could hear kits mewling and cats yowling. A greu she-cat came bounding over to Shadowclaw.
"Can we help you?" The she-cat asked. Shadowclaw tensed.
"I search for a cat named Leaf" Shadowclaw explained. Why did i say i search? Shadowclaw thought to herself. The she-cat nodded and turned around.
"My name is Wild. What's yours?" Wild asked and glanced back at Shadowclaw.
"Shadowclaw" Shadowclaw mewed and padded after Wild.Wild lead Shadowclaw further in, and almost no cat were in sight. Only Wild and her grey fur.
"We're here" Wild announced. Wild turned around and rushed away.
"Okay?" Shadowclaw muttered."Shadowclaw!?" Shadowclaw froze. She regonized that voice everywhere.
She turned her head to her exspections.
"Blaze?!"
