Chapter 13
To Thunderheart, he saw the glow becoming dim and everything has stopped. He blinked three times to get the flashes out of his eyes, then he looks back where the kit is standing. He saw that the two-legged she-kit was not there anymore; all he sees is some fur things that are covering her and now it is laying on the ground with nobody in it. "No..." his ears went down, Kit, his throat becomes dry as his eyes sting him as he saw the sight. Lunaflight sniffed the air for a moment,
"Hmm," she mumbled. "I'm not sure that she's dead or not,"
"Oh, she's dead alright," Snakevenom purred.
"How can you tell?"
"Easy, the clothing is lying on the ground with nobody."
"But," Chainspite meowed as he, Wolverineclaw, and Shrinkage come to them. "Is it supposed to be...I don't know...shredded?"
"Hmm..." Shrinkage looked and turned back, "That is a good question,"
"Yes, it is," Lunaflight agreed.
"Who cares?" Snakevenom meowed, "Once it's done, it's done. Now we should go," suddenly the black muscular tom pricked his ears as he sniffs the air.
"Wait," he meowed.
"What is it Tornfang?" Snakevenom meowed,
"Do you smell that?" he meowed, then Snakevenom, Chainspite, Wolverineclaw, Shrinkage, and Lunaflight sniffed the air.
"Strange," Snakevenom meowed. "Where did the scent of a cat come from?"
"Don't know," Lunaflight shrugged. Then Thunderheart sniffed the air,
His ears pricked up as he gasped, This scent, he thought. I know this scent, it is... suddenly all six of them heard a flopping sound, they all have turned around and look at the clothes. It is moving, suddenly something has come out of them.
A cat has gasped for air and it is panting, they all examined the cat. The cat is very, very pale ginger with stardust-pelt she-cat with a white patch that is in a shape of a star on her forehead and she has turquoise eyes along with a long blue ribbon around its neck.
Thunderheart gasped, It is! Thunderheart ears straighten up. It is her, along! Then the kit looks at him as her ears flatten in fright.
"That's impossible!" Lunaflight meowed, "There's nothing here that says about a two-leg that can turn into a cat!"
"What?" Thunderheart pricked his ears more,
"Who cares," Snakevenom meowed. "It doesn't matter right now, all that we can know is that she is still a threat to us." He growled as he started to run towards the kit, he unsheathed his claws as he picks up the pass.
The kit gasped as her ears flatten, the scent of fear has entered the air. Then Snakevenom smacks the kit, the kit screamed as he smacked her shoulder. She landed to her left side,
"No!" Thunderheart flatten his ears as he unsheathed his claws. He twists and turned, then scratched Tornfang.
Tornfang meowed as he let's go of Thunderheart, Thunderheart ran fast as he could, running towards the kit and Snakevenom.
To the kit, she shook her head and looks up to her right. She gasps as she flattens her ears in fear,
"Now it's time for you to die," Snakevenom was about to smack the kit. Suddenly Thunderheart pushed Snakevenom away from the kit, once Snakevenom is away from the kit. Thunderheart ran to the kit and stretched over his left leg over the kit as the rest of his body is in front of her.
Thunderheart growled, "Back off!" he hissed,
"You..." Snakevenom hissed, "You're protecting her? A two-legged she-cat?"
"Ah...a two-legged she-kit," Lunaflight corrected him.
"Whatever," he hissed.
"She saved me," Thunderheart meowed. "She saved me twice,"
"What?" Snakevenom meowed,
"How?" Lunaflight meowed,
"One she saved me as a she-cat like this," Thunderheart meowed. "It might be her in spirit back then, then she saved me when she was a two-leg kit." The kit looks at him, "So I am returning the favor,"
"How important is this favor when she is to you?" Tornfang meowed,
"She's way more important to me than she is to you," then the kit relaxed a bit. "If you want me alive, you have to let her live and not to be harmed."
"Are you saying that...if you don't go, she'll be harmed?" Tornfang meowed,
"If that happens," Thunderheart digs his claws to the hard ground. "I will protect her from you, even if it causes my own life to nine lives to do so and you all won't get a prisoner to the clan at all."
Lunaflight and the kit has pricked their ears up,
"We can't let that happen Snakevenom," Lunaflight meowed.
"She right," Tornfang nodded. "We need him alive so we could proof Scourge that Lunflight's visions are real,"
Snakevenom thought for a moment as the kit been shielded by Thunderheart. In fustration, Snakevenom sighed. "Very well," he meowed. "The two-legged she-cat comes along with the prisoner, but if you get harmed." He approached Thunderheart, "The kit will have the same damage as you did, understand that?"
Thunderheart growled, he remembers the kindness that the two-legged she-kit has given him and he remembered his vow that he will protect her till the end of his visit. Now in his mind, he has vowed to protect her with all his life. He unsheathed his claws, "Fine," he meowed.
"Good," Snakevenom growled his purr. "Make sure that the kit learns how to walk because we got to move so we won't get caught." He padded away, Thunderheart moved away from the kit.
"Kit," he mewed gently. "Can you stand?"
"I..." the kit mewed, "I think so,"
"Just give it a try," then the kit slowly got up. Her legs are shaky for a moment, then she stands perfectly straight. "Good, now watch me." He steps forward, "Put your paw in front of the other and repeat," the kits' ears lighten up then she started to walk. "That's it," Thunderheart purred.
The kit purred back,
"Now, stay close to me." Thunderheart mewed, "So they won't harm you when you are around me if you are not. You know what happens, right?"
"Yes," the kit nodded.
"Good," Thunderheart purred.
"They're ready," Lunaflight meowed as Chainspite, Wolverineclaw, and Shrinkage went around them and padded to Lunaflight, Tornfang, and Snakevenom. At the fence, there is a hole on the ground. Snakevenom looks at them, he can see something familiar towards the kit and he cannot put his tail on it. So, he pushed it aside and get back to the mission.
"Alright," Snakevenom meowed. "Let's go," then they crawled into and out of the hole and padded into the woods of unknown.
Away from the two-leg nest, they have been walking for quite a while; around sun-high. The kit panted for a moment, suddenly she has begun to fall over.
"I got you," Thunderheart mewed as he caught her.
"Thank you," she mewed. Lunaflight examined the kit, she padded to Snakevenom side.
"Snakevenom," she meowed. "The kit is exhausted; we should settle here so the kit could catch her breath."
"And take shelter," the kit meowed.
"What's that?" Snakevenom turned to the kit,
"There's some heavy rain coming," the kit quivered. "We better hid before it rains,"
"How on earth would you...?"
"Snakevenom," Tornfang meowed. Snakevenom added to him, "Look," his tail pointed up. He looks up and saw dark clouds above the trees. He can hear thunder rumbling above them,
"The kit is telling the truth then," Snakevenom meowed.
"I've believed so," Tornfang nodded.
"Alright," he turned to the group. "We'll take shelter and rest till the rain ends. Chainspite, Wolverineclaw, find someplace that we could call a shelter. That would be big enough for all of us, then we'll discuss everything else once we are in a dry location."
"Yes sir," they both nodded and split up for a while.
For a few moments have passed, Chainspite and Wolverineclaw have come back. "Anything?" Snakevenom meowed,
"Nothing from me," Wolverineclaw nodded.
"Alright," Snakevenom sighed. "What about you Chainspite?"
"I've found a huge tree with a Badgers' Den," Chainspite meowed.
"A Badgers' Den?" Snakevenom meowed,
"The scent is very faint," Chainspite began to explain. "It has probably left about a few seasons ago, so it is safe for us to take shelter and rest there."
"Good, now lead the way Chainspite." Snakevenom offered,
Chainspite nodded as he began to lead them to the Badgers' Den.
At the Badgers' Den, they have entered once the rain began. Suddenly some of them settle down as Shrinkage and Wolverineclaw stands to guard the entrance as they were hidden in the shadows for a while.
