Chapter 7
The three cats left kept trudging through the snow and finally got to the western border of MoonClan.
Coldspirit had agreed with Blackheart when she told him that it would be easier to go through DarkClan, but then be remembered that their scent would be found out.
Going through the mountains of IceClan would make it easier to disguise their scents, but a longer trip would have to be made behind the borders of IceClan to get to MoonClan.
Across the border, Coldspirit could see the camp that had not been bordered by purple mist since Misteyes died.
The only den in sight was for the nusery and medicine cat. All of the other cats slept on pebbles outside of the den. MoonClan liked to sleep under the moon, which was reasonably.
The MoonClan invaders padded towards the camp, ready to attack Moonstar, when something stopped them in their tracks.
Black fog hovered over to them, surrounding them. Icetail was the first one to say, "Get out of its path!" and scrambled to the side. She was blocked by a silver tom with black spots on his head.
Coldspirit dashed to a gap in the mist, but was blocked by a light brown she-cat. *
Redfur knew she had no choice, but to avoid running. Immediately, a black she-cat with yellow eyes stood in front of her.
Redfur's heart stopped. Darkheart! The cat that had ruined her life now stood before her along with her parents, Silverfur and Oakpelt.
Redfur growled. She unsheathed her claws and quickly slashed at Darkheart, making a scratch mark over her right eye to underneath it. Darkheart yowled in pain.
Coldspirit and Icetail both opened their jaws and a blizzard appeared from their jaws, blowing Oakpelt and Silverfur out of the way. Redfur was astonished, but wasn't paying attention to her opponent. She was knocked to the ground by a paw.
Darkheart stood above her, growling with one eye open; the other one scarred.
"This is for back-clawing me!" Darkheart yowled, biting Redfur's scruff.
The yellow-eyed she-cat held one claw near Redfur's throat, murmuring, "This is for what you did." Redfur closed her eyes, waiting for the pain of death.
Redfur heard yowling near her along with hissing. She opened her eyes to find Shadoweyes standing in front of her, guarding her from Darkheart.
When Shadoweyes saw Redfur get up, she dipped her head to acknowledge that she was okay. The two stood side-by-side to fight together against Darkheart.
"You, too?! I didn't expect you to appear!" Darkheart hissed at Shadoweyes. Shadoweyes simply yowled and a tornado spiraled down from the sky.
Darkheart glanced up and dashed away in fear towards the gorge. Redfur looked at Shadoweyes in surprise. *
"You can make tornadoes?" she meowed. *
"Yup." Shadoweyes breathed, probably tired from using so much energy. *
Redfur turned to Icetail and Coldspirit.
"You guys can make a blizzard?" she questioned. *
"All IceClan cats can." Icetail responded, "Although, Coldspirit must have learned how to do it quicker than usual since he used to be a kittypet as he told me on our arrival here."
Coldspirit simply glanced at Oakpelt and Silverfur, still knocked unconscious. "They will be there for a while. Let's finish the job." he ordered.
The four cats arrived to the gorge where Darkheart was standing by the waterfall's peak. She noticed them, then quickly faded into a black misty shadow.
Darkheart's shadowy mist glided over the gorge and landed in the spot that was the most memorable to Redfur: where Bluepelt had died. *
Enraged that such a cruel cat could tarnish her best friend's death point, Redfur lept at Darkheart, claws unsheathed.
"Redfur! Your tail is on fire!" Shadoweyes yowled to the leaping ginger cat.
Sure enough, Redfur's long tail was blazing with heat and flames. Darkheart quickly shifted into shadow form and swooped over to Shadoweyes.
Shadoweyes wasn't watching Darkheart; her eyes were on Redfur's bright-red tail. Redfur landed and pivoted towards Shadoweyes. She lashed her tail at Darkheart, yowling, "Shadoweyes! Behind you!" *
Shadoweyes bolted for the gorge, creating another tornado. Coldspirit and Icetail whipped up another blizzard, using their tails this time, and blew the snowstorm towards Darkheart. The black she-cat was distracted because she was focusing on Redfur carefully. *
The snowstorm flew at Darkheart, blowing her across the ground. She fell in the process, rolling on the ground like dry moss in the wind. She flew across the ground, blown by the storm, towards the gorge. *
Redfur was running around and around in a circle, the fire whirling around as she dashed. She halted, then lashed her tail at Darkheart, who was now at the edge of the gorge, creating a fireball and launched it at the yellow-eyed she-cat. Darkheart was hit by the flaming ball and lit on fire, tripping into the gorge below. *
Everything stopped at once. The blizzards stopped, Redfur's tail stopped flaming, and Shadoweyes's tornado stopped. Darkheart was dead. *
