Seeking Revenge/Chapter 6

 Chapter 6

The patter of pawsteps, and something being dragged lightly across the ground could be heard from a block away.

If I didn't know better, I would think that a cat just died.

Lily and Scratch stood on either side of their mother, doing their best to help her get to shelter. Her weakened paws dragged along the ground, and she moaned.

Deep down beneath Lily's calm exterior, her heart was racing, mind whirling.

''Will she be all right? What if she dies? And how could they've possibly done something like this to her?''

"She can't possibly fit safely and comfortably in our den!" Scratch mewed frantically. Lily secretly had the same worries, but didn't know where else could be safer. All of the places that didn't smell to bad, and made for good shelter were inhabited by feirce BloodClan cats or at least had them nearby. That was a risk that couldn't be taken.

"I think it would be better if she stayed with us," Lily replied. Shade let out a low moan.

Soon, she was lying underneath a bush, as she let water trickle from a rag into her mouth. Scratch was out hunting; he would be back soon, hopefully with something actually good. Prey seemed to be getting even scarcer those days, even if you could call what they ate "prey". It was mostly trash and whatever edible thing crawled out of the gutter.
