Belong~ Pondtail

Nala trotted trough the undergrowth. Forest were so annoying. A mouse darted past, she dropped into a hunter's crouch. As she creeped along, a jolt of alarm shot through her. Other cats? Those Bloodclan cats were enough trouble! As Nala crawled back into her "den", a cat leaped on her. A yowl of surprise rang out. Though she was fairly awful at combat, she easily scratched the young cat on the arm and ran away. Nala's gaze darted back and forth as she found what she was looking for. Horsetail! She chewed it into a poultice and added dock leaves. Her scratched stung, but she knew it helped. She pounced on a magpie as it hopped past. A meal and some rest would help her scratches too.

"I swear there was a rouge! I attacked her and she gave me this!" A young cat protested. Nala sprang up! Other cats meant trouble. She put the last of the dock leaves on her and sprang onto a large moor. She heard the voices again. A young cat mewed in a teasing voice, "You sure that wasn't a mouse that defeated you?" Nala froze. They were closer. On this moor, she would be seen no matter what! She couldn't fight them either, there was at least 3! "THERE!!" The young tom screeched as loud as an owl. Nala tried to sprint away, but they easily caught up. The oldest one leaped on her, slashing her chest and nipping her leg. Nala couldn't die like this. She wanted a mate, and kits!! The tom snarled and released her. Nala lay limp. She could hardly move. The tom was stunned by the damage he did. He looked at the two young cats, and flicked his tail. "Take her back to camp."
