Later…
Fogkit:
Splish splash splish! The river! In my journey with Dandy and Raccoon, I have encountered many rivers. I have learned to feel them, to know them. The soul of the river lies in its depths of sound and blue. I have learned to see it.
This river, I heard its song, its divine song. Splish Splish Splash! Blood has washed the waves once, life has washed away once, or more. But, life was also born there. Life thrived there.
I came to the conclusion.
This
River
Was
Home.
Moons later…
A shriek echoed in the distance. Fogshine pricked her ears and turned towards the sound. She flicked her tail at her patrol and meowed quickly, "Somebody's in trouble!"
Claws unsheathed, Fogshine ripped through the forest, branches whipping at her silver face. She scented … the Riverclan hunting patrol and a Thunderclan hunting patrol, twined together.
She burst into the clearing and a dark brown tabby immediately bowled into her. Fogshine screeched and slapped her claws across the she-cat's face. She bunched her legs and kicked, and the tabby flew off.
"Fo-Fogshine!"
Her mate, Copperstar was entangled by two Thunderclan toms. Fogshine latched herself onto a gray tabby and drew her hind legs down his spine. He screamed in pain and turned on her. She felt herself pinned down. A claw stabbed her in her shoulder, and she struck blindly in pain. Her claws connected with the tom's foreleg and he weakened.
Taking this opportunity, she lunged at his throat, and threw him off her. He lay winded for a second, and staggered up spitting. Fogshine was about to throw herself at him again when a she-cat screeched, "Bumblestripes!" (mrroow…)
A weight made her knees buckle, and an all-too-familiar scent wound around her. She screeched and threw herself back. An oomph told her, her enemy has been subdued. Fogshine expertly drew herself back and was about to strike the she-cat when…
Lilysky!
Lilysky had blood pouring from her ears into her eyes and her mouth was leaking blood. Fogshine drew back instinctively, and Lilysky threw herself at her old friend. Fogshine stumbled back, and meowed, "Its me, Fogshi—Fogkit!"
Lilysky stopped her second attack and hissed, "What? Your ginger… no…"
Lilysky wiped the blood out of her eyes and opened her eyes wide, "Oh…"
Fogshine smiled and purred. Lilysky stayed her distance, although her eyes were jovial. She meowed, "I missed you."
Fogshine nodded. She meowed, "I'm deputy, now, so I'll tell my cats to retreat, okay?"
Lilysky snorted, "Yeah, you do that. Then tell your cats to stop stealing prey."
Fogshine shook her head. Same ol' Lilysky.
"RETREAT!"
The Riverclan cats blinked, surprised, and drew back. They turned tail, and fled into the forest. Fogshine also drew back, and whispered just loud enough for Lilysky to hear, "Good-bye."
Lilysky nodded and turned back to her clan…
The two cats were thinking the same thing…
All went well.
Watch for the new episode after Slave in Hell, Hellfire!! ;) See ya there!
