Warriors: The Rise of Moonfur

Chapter 17

~~~ 1 moon later ~~~~~~

Moonfur lied on her side as the faint morning light entered the dump. Cats all around were reinforcing the camp dens with strands of chain and wire. They were at war with a clan called Deathclan, one of the most deadliest clans alive, of course except for Bloodclan. It all started as a border fight, but soon turned into riots, and cats getting killed on the border over prey. Moonfur was very close to kitting, so Scourge placed five warriors in the dump to guard her. Luckily two of those warriors were Frogleap and Racoontail. Racoontail was still very upset about Chain's 'Exile' but just tries to forget about it, and succeeds. Frogleap smiled. 
"Hello, Moonfur. How are your kits?" Moonfur smiled back. "Being little fighters, kicking mommy like I'm a Deathclan warrior." Racoontail and Frogleap purred with amusement. "That's wonderful, have you heard the rumors about Deathclan? How they might be in our camp right now?" Racoontail asked.
Moonfur curled her tail around herself in defense. She did smell some unfamiliar scents around camp. It might just be a bad mouse, right?

"Actually, yes I have, but I don't feel very comfortable talking about it..." Racoontail nodded. "That's alright." The three friends just huddled together and waited for the Deathclan cats to attack. They would be coming soon. Their leader, Kero, said so on one of the border fights that they would be raiding tomorrow, which was today. Soon a yowl broke out in the outside world. The fight had started. Moonfur spotted Scourge fighting Kero on the other end of the alleyway. She held her tail tight with anxiety. Racoontail curled her tail protectively around her friend while Frogleap stood over Moonfur in defense. The fight was long and bloody until a shadow-like cat came in and started to defeat all of Moonfur's guards. Moonfur curled her tail around herself tighter and hissed at the strange cat. Frogleap leaped onto him and soon was tossed off into another group of fighting cats. Racoontail snarled at the cat and slashed at his muzzle. The cat yowled and grabbed Racoontail by the neck and tossed her next to Frogleap, who was just getting onto her feet. Soon the five guards were gone and only Moonfur and the Shadow-like cat remained. The cat towered over her as the queen below him hissed and sat in the corner of the den, trying to get away. 

After what seemed like forever, a cat leaped onto the shadow-like cat and slashed his throat. The cat was Scourge. The shadow-like cat faded away, just like an illusion. Scourge rushed over to his lover and nuzzled her. "Are you alright?" Moonfur nodded. Soon a yowl came overhead. "Retreat! Retreat!" The Deathclan cats had lost and were now leaving. Kero padded over to Scourge. "You have won. We will never speak of this again." Scourge snarled. "Get out!" The black and silver tabby cat with red eyes ran. A wail sounded outside. Cats named Ice and Snake snarled at a cat named Violet, Their sister. Barley, their brother, watched with horror.

Scourge padded toward them. "What happened?" "Violet betrayed us! She was fighting on the side of Deathclan!" Scourge narrowed his eyes. "Are you sure? This is your sister were talking about." Ice nodded. "I saw it with my own two eyes." Scourge leaped onto the dump as Moonfur cowered inside. She knew what he was going to do. "Kill her." Ice and Snake leaped onto Violet and clawed her until she fell upon the ground, bleeding to death. Barley watched with horror and sorrow mixed together. "Take her away." The brothers took her and left, padding away to the burial place. Barley leaped onto his brothers and clawed their backs. He took Violet's scruff and ran away. Moonfur may have been evil, but this family were good friends with her. She started to cry. She just went to the back of her den to take a nap. "Hey! Go and find them! When you do, kill them." She heard Scourge yowl. Moonfur cried harder. She soon felt Scourge curl around her. "I'm sorry."
