Shadowclaw felt Blaze's yellow tabby fur brush up against her white fluffy pelt. They spend the night in a clearing where she thought the clans had settled. They cant have come far. Shadowclaw always had her hopes high. Blaze always brushed his pelt up against her's when they slept.
"Blaze, you awake?" Shadowclaw whispered. Blaze didnt answer but made a little yawn.
"Yeah?" He purred and pressed his fur closer.
"Are you angry with me? About Swan?" Shadowclaw asked. Blaze didnt answer. He got closet until he got ontop of Shadowclaw. This is so awkward! Shadowclaw crawled a bit away until Blaze fell down on the ground again.
When Shadowclaw woke up, Blaze were gone. He probaly just went out hunting. Shadowclaw thought and clawed the frozen ground. She felt her belly rumble. She glanced around and saw peices of yellow fur around the nest. Shadowclaw began to find thid weird. She got on her paws and opened her jaws to sniff the air. Thats an odd scent. Shadowclaw narrowed her eyes.
"Blaze!?" She shouted. No responce. She walked into the tall snow to look for the yellow tabby.
"Whats going on?" Shadowclaw asked herself. Suddenly a cold breeze ran down he back and the stench came aswell.
"Now i remember who's stench this is" Shadowclaw mewed. The rogues in the two-leg place! Pawsteps were laying in the ground, and Blaze's fur. Just gotta follow this trail. Dont worry Blaze, im coming. Shadowclaw woved and ran the path of the trail. She followed the trail to a clearing, not far from their nest. Cats sat in the clearing, eyeing her.
"Greeting warrior" Shadowclaw glanced up. She regonized the fur of Leaf, and felt a growl rose in her throat.
"Where's Blaze?!" Shadowclaw ordered. Leaf gave Shadowclaw a stoic expression. Didnt even bother to speak.
"Licht, Wild. Get Blaze" Leaf ordered. A grey she-cat padded away with a light yellow tom behind her.
Soon cats crawled behind Shadowclaw and gazed at her. Leaf gave a snort in discust.
"I hear you killed one of my cats" Leaf mewed. Shadowclaw narrowed her eyes and gave Leaf the cold eyes.
"If you decide to keep quiet..." Leaf stopped pointing her tail to where Licht and Wild padded in with Blaze behind them.
"Blaze!-" Shadowclaw was about to run over to Blaze but a brown she-cat stepped in front of Shadowclaw with her claws unsheated.
"Savage, no harm to our guests" Leaf ordered. Savage nodded and backed away. Leaf kept her cold blue gaze fixed on Shadowclaw.
"I want no cats like you here" Leaf hissed. Shadowclaw felt a sudden rage blaze through her ears and down to her claws.
"Well let Blaze go and you wont see us again!" Shadowclaw hissed. Shadowclaw got a glimse of Licht letting a chuckle out. Flea bag! Shadowclaw growled. Leaf let out a choug.
"I will let your mate go, in one condition" Leaf promised. Shadowclaw widened her eyes. He's not my mate! Shadowclaw wanted to scream they werent mates, but wouldnt risk the deal.
"Whats the condition?" Shadowclaw growled. Leaf smirked in amusement.
"You and i will go for a little walk" Leaf mewed. Shadowclaw eyes her suspeciasly.
"What will happen to Blaze?" Shadowclaw growled and unsheated her claws. Leaf looked away and yawned.
"Dont worry. Licht and Wild will take care of him" Leaf promised. Blaze took a pace forward.
"I dont need rogues to care for me!" He hissed. Shadowclaw sighed.
"Blaze, zip it!" Shadowclaw lowly hissed. Blaze glared back at Licht and Wild. Shadowclaw glanced back at Leaf.
"As long they wont hurt him, I'll come" Shadowclaw promised. Leaf smirked in satisfaction.
"Good choice" Leaf mewed. She flicked her head to Licht and Wild.
"I'll get you back to the vet if you disobey!" Leaf threaten sharply. Licht and Wild bristled their furs.
"Yes Leaf" Wild mewed and instructed Blaze to follow her.
"I wont go amywhere. Especially alone with rogues! Even Fang's friends!" Blaze hissed and pounced away from Wild. The she-cat looked stoic and grabbed Blaze by the scruff and dragged him away.
"In case you didnt notice, you killed my son. So consider this me going easy on you" Wild mewed with her jaws filled with Blaze's fur.
"Let me go!" Blaze hissed and started struggling. I've never seen Blaze this stressed. Shadowclaw thought. Leaf jumped down besides Shadowclaw and laid her tail on her shoulder.
"Follow me" Leaf mewed. She turned around and padded away from her cats. Shadowclaw tensed but moved her paws to follow the white old she-cat.
--------------------------------
Leaf let Shadowclaw away from Blaze and the rogues. Which made Shadowclaw think alot. Where is she luring me to? Are they gonna hury him? Should i attack her?
"Dont even think about it" Leaf mewed. Shadowclaw stopped up and stared at Leaf. How could she-
"Read your mind? It's a gift. But it can also be a curse" Leaf insticted.
"Okay old flea brain, lets get something straight here. I am only here for you to release my... mate" Shadowclaw forced herself not to sound discusted. Leaf let out a mrrow of amusement.
"Oh i know he isnt your mate" she mewed. Shadowclaw flexed her claws.
"You, dead little-" Shadowclaw's voice cracked as she narrowed her eyes. Leaf looked at Shadowclaw with satisfaction.
"Hm. Deathcloud must be proud" Leaf purred proudly. Shadowclaw widened her eyes
"How do you know about him?" Shadowclaw threatned and got ready to pounce on her.
"That wont be neceracy. You can sheate your claws dear" Leaf promised and turned her back to Shadowclaw. Shadowclaw sheated her claws and lisntened.
"Deathcloud is my one and only son" Leaf explained. This cat is my kin! And i thought Pheonixfeather was bad.
"I can see Energystar's young spirit in you. Just as bad tempered" Leaf mewed and gave a sigh.
"She did well raising you" Leaf whispered.
"Is this why you wanted to talk to me? To talk about how my mother raised me?" Shadowclaw dared. Leaf glanced over her shoulder.
"Of course not. Not only i called you to talk about your kin... but about where you will stay" Leaf finished. I will stay with my clan!
"No you wont"
Cliff hanger! Hoped you liked this. Sorry if you didnt know Leaf were Deathcloud's mother. Also Savage and Wild are his older sisters. But look on his wiki side and find out about more. BYE FOR NOW!
