Darkfinch's Story - Chapter 6

Mistlight lunged at Darkpaw again. Swatting at his ears. Darkpaw let out a hiss, and crouched. The orange and tan cat batted at the darker gray kitten's fur. Leaping into the air before being knocked from the sky. Darkenberry let out a hiss and lunged at the offending cat. The cat ducked and reared before snapping her teeth into Darkenberry's tail. The spirit cat lunged at Darkenberry, forcing him backwards with steady blows. Darkenberry fought back, before turning and snarling at his apprentice, "Help Us, are you a tree. What are you doing sitting there help us battle this invading cat." Hollypaw wasted no time. Hurrying forward to help the mentors. "You stay out of this," Mistlight snapped at her apprentice. "I didn't teach you any defensive moves, but give Darkpaw a shove in the right direction will you?" Hollypaw nodded and shoved Darkpaw towards the fighting cats. Darkpaw had to make a decision, help his clan mates, or help the cat from his dreams that had given him what he had wanted most. Fighting moves. Darkpaw raced over to the battling cats and made a split second decision. He would fight the shadow cat. Letting out a screech Darkpaw flung himself at the spirit cat. The cat turned to him, and flung him towards the river near by. He toppled over into the water, Darkenberry and Mistlight ran to help the young kitten. They were shocked to see the young cat swimming confidently through the water. With a yowl the spirit cat shoved Darkpaw in the side sending him toppling he fell sideways and heard the yowl of the spirit cat. "I told you before you have to keep swimming!" Darkenberry and Mistlight shared a look. "Before, what do you mean before?" they asked the cat.
