Fidgetleaf's Betrayal

Chapter 11

She woke up early as usual. A rumble of hunger was heard. She padded outside the den, going to the fresh kill pile. She bent down and took a scrawny black bird. She'd quickly devour the small prey as she sat outside the den, grooming her fur. Her paw swiped over her floppy ear. She heard a rustle. Her ears perked up as it came from the gorse tunnel, her fur bristling slightly, an odd smell filled her nostrils. She noticed the very few warriors that had woken up early had their gaze glued on the entrance. The rustle was louder as she jumped to her paws. Two streaks of orange and black exploded in the camp entrance.

"Fox!" She yowled, without any thinking, she flung herself up at the female fox, batting at it's muzzle, it's jaw would snap around as multiple cats piled over. Fidgetpaw tail rose. There shouldn't be any seriously wounded as there is only 2 foxes- The gorse tunnel rustled. Mouse dung! I just jinxed myself!

About 3 more orange pelts exploded into the clearing, they were a bit smaller compared to the other foxes, but she felt herself easily sink her claws into the pelt. Fidgetpaw got shaken off, as she felt teeth dig into her shoulder, she violent squirmed until she was thrown over into the tree trunk that fell on the elder's den. She rubbed her now sore head, as her vision blurred.

I'm not going to die like this.. am I? She closed her eyes, as she was preparing herself for death. She felt teeth clamp onto her neck, but then the fox let go, she opened an eye. ..Dovepaw-? Fidgetpaw attempted to stand, to try and help her friend, but she fell, Fidgetpaw felt unusually guilty about being weak already.

She lowered her head, as her vision blacked out.

Fidgetpaw woke up, it was darker, until she adjusted to the light. She was in the medicine cat's den. She noticed a few cats around her as she winced to the sudden pain she felt, she lowered her head again, as she rubbed her head.

"Oi- don't you put any pressure on that wound!" She heard the medicine cat bark, her response was to quickly take her paw off her head. "You're seriously wounded- and we cant afford to have you bleeding again." Fidgetpaw quickly rasped. "Is Dovepaw okay-?"

Treestem nodded. "A few scratches but she's fine." Fidgetpaw sighed in relief as she wasn't seriously hurt because of her failed attempt to fight. "The kits- Sandkit and Peachkit are alright?"
"Yup."

Fidgetpaw sighed in relief as she closed her eyes to have her long rest to build up her energy.

Oh wow, a cat jinxing themselves 😳🖐
