Blossomfur's Life - Chapter 6

Darkfinch rolled clear and reared. Holly rose to meet him. Darkfinch lunged to the left of Holly. Holly darted to the right as if she knew the move well then when she saw Darkfich dig one paw into the ground and turn she leapt backwards when he pounced. She hissed. Holly stayed defensive, and Blossom realized that she was staying safe while letting Darkfinch waste his energy trying to hurt her. Mouse and Cloud were watching with wide eyes. "What is she doing?" hissed Cloud. "Usually she is the offensive darting in and leaping out of range, here she is staying to the defense." added Mouse. "Remember this is her brother, she knows him better then any of us. They probably play fought as kits and trained together. Had mock battles and fought beside each other during real battles. Before she betrayed him he would probably let nothing hurt his loyal deputy, he would let her stay and rule after him." Blossom said slowly. Suddenly Darkfinch leapt and twisted in the air. Holly darted under his belly so she was in-between him and his cats. Darkfinch eyes narrowed and he spotted Blossom. He lunged at her. Blossom scrambled backwards out of range. Holly let out a yowl and Darkfinch turned and looked at her. She charged at her brother sweeping him off his feet. She growled her ears flat. Darkfinch turned and sprang to his paws. He snarled. She stared back without flinching. He tensed ready to pounce and suddenly Holly sat down as if waiting for something. Darkfinch lunged and Holly crouched forward then rolled neatly on her back and flung Darkfinch off her. Darkfinch padded back and crawled forward until her stood about a foot away from Holly. He swiped out a paw, Holly ducked knocked his feet from under him, rolled over and finished the move with a strong hind kick. Holly sprang to her feet and was on Darkfinch in a second. She dug her claws into his fur and waited. She knew what was coming next. Darkfinch stumbled forward and Holly leapt up then landed neatly on his back again. Suddenly Darkfinch twitched and ear. Holly knew what that sign meant.
