Episode 2: Battles

Battles
I instantly feel pain searing through my pelt as the cats attack me. My shock suddenly turns into energy; I think I can use this to attack them.

I kick my hind legs up towards the attacker’s belly, and suprisingly, he flew off. He landed with a thud behind me. I shoot up, immediately dropping into a crouch as another cat charges towards me. I try and leap over the cat, but I fail, clumsily crashing on the cat’s back.

The cat (apparently a she-cat) rears up and I fall, smashing into the ground. Pain spreads through my forehead, and when I struggle to lift my head, everything is blurry.

“Just so you know, we take no prisoners!” Another cat spat, digging it’s teeth into the back of my neck. I shudder with pain, screaming.

Then the weight leveled off. I struggle to raise my head again, and I see other cats fighting the attackers. One had a fire-like pelt, the next had a tortishell coat, and the last was a small, golden tabby.

Soon, the attacking cats fled, spitting and growling in their wake. The fire-like cat—a tom—swiftly turned around and helped me up.

I wobbled on my paws and almost fell. He caught me and steadied me.

“You can barely stand,” He noted. My surroundings were still very blurry, and black spots started forming at the edges of my eyes. How hard did I hit my head?

After what seemed like a very long time—but was probably only a minute—I was standing on my own. Soon, my vision cleared, and I could see the cats clearly. The fire-like tom was still looking at me, concerned, an the two other cats were discussing something.

“Sizzlepaw, this isn’t up for disscusion—” The tortishell said.

“But please, Jadeshadow, she may be a spy!”

I snort quietly. ''A spy? More like a spy who can’t even defend herself.''

The fire-like tom cut them off. “Jadestorm! Sizzlepaw!”

The two cats stopped thier conversation and looked at me. The golden-tabby, a she-cat, bounded up to me.

“Who are are you?” she demanded, sniffing me curiously. Who are these people?

“Sizzlepaw!” The fire-like tom snapped. “Is that how you talk to another cat? Introduce yourself!”

The golden-tabby bowed her head. “Sorry....” She looked back to me. “I’m Sizzlepaw. Now, who are you?”

''Sizzlepaw. What a weird name.'' “I’m Sage.”

“Sage,” The fire-like tom said thoughtfully. He nodded at me. “I’m Flaredash.”
