Warriors: The Rise of Moonfur

Chapter 26

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Moonfur followed Scourge's group deeper into the forest. She padded silently among the cold leaves of leafbare, looking around for any hidden cats. The forest cats could either ambush them, or meet them at fourtrees. Moonfur sighed as the wind blew around her white fur. The faint sunlight seemed to make dim shadows that followed them as they journeyed. Soon they arrived, spreading out through fourtrees. Moonfur padded little ways near Scourge. "Are we still going with the plan?" She whispered, making sure she was as quiet as possible. Scourge looked over to the Cloudclan leader and nodded. "Yeah." Moonfur nodded hesitantly. Scourge noticed this and licked her cheek.
"I'll be alright, just fight for yourself and I'll fight for me. Then we won't get mauled as easily." 

Moonfur nodded again. "Alright... Stay safe." Her mate smiled. "You too." Moonfur smiled back and padded away, so she wouldn't be noticed. If she was seen next to Scourge, she would be one of the first targeted. She sat down gently next to a strong group of warriors. Frogleap padded up to her. "Good luck..." Moonfur blinked. "You too." She mewed to her Deputy. She saw Scratchclaw as the black cat padded away. She dipped her head, wishing the best. Scratchclaw gave a nod and walked deeper into the group. Moonfur looked around for Raccoontail. She spotted her talking to another cat, flicking her tail with anxiousness. Moonfur caught her gaze and flicked her tail, nodding good luck. The young she-cat warrior nodded back and mouthed, 'Good luck.' Moonfur flicked her ears with curiosity, wondering when the forest cats were going to arrive.
She didn't want anyone she loved to die...

After awhile, the forest cat scents got stronger. "I know you're there!" Scourge called out into the silence. "Come and give me your answer." He mewed, his icy blue eyes narrowed. Moonfur watched as the forest cats hesitantly came forward. She could smell the fear coming off of them, she smirked. Fear wasn't going to win this upcoming battle... if there was one. "Greetings." Scourge mewed, licking his own muzzle. "Have you decided to leave? Or do you presume that you could fight against Bloodclan?" Moonfur watched as Firestar began to speak.
"We don't have to fight!"

Moonfur tried hard to hold her purr of amusement. Was this cat serious? Bloodclan was known for it's brutal war and fighting techniques. 
"We will let you go back to twolegplace in peace." This time, Moonfur couldn't help but chuckle softly to herself. Peace? Bloodclan has never heard of that word before. She heard Scourge laughing evilly, to which she smirked at the pathetic forest cats. "Go back?"He stopped laughing, but the smirk on his face was still visible. "Do you really think were such cowards? No. This is our home now." Moonfur had to agree by nodding, her teeth-lined collar softly clinking together. She could see Firedung's eyes drain hope. She smirked at her nickname for the ginger leader. After the Thunderclan leader's gaze flashed over the cats of Bloodclan, he spoke once more. His voice had more courage this time. "The forest is ours." Firestar replied. "We rule here by the will of Starclan." Moonfur thought for a moment. Would Starclan be on their side? She could hear Scourge laughing coldly again. "Starclan! Tales for kits, Forest fool, Starclan won't help you now." He leaped to his paws and fluffed out his fur, looking larger than he really was. Moonfur did the same.

"Attack!"
