The Hunted

A fanfic by Gigglesplash .Basically summing up the history about my characters,Fawnsky and Flametail.Not that anyone cares but just in case.
==Chapter 1==
FawnskyBetrayed
I snarled at the tortioseshell as she stared me down.“I thought you were my friend,Jet."
“So did I."Jet groomed her paws,trying to buy time.But she knew as well as I that it was impossible to stop bloodshed between us.Any longer and I'd be stupid to not run away.If I escaped,it could cost Jet her position - maybe her life.And if I let her attack me,I'd be letting down Snake.
It was inevitable.
“Jet,you know it's coming.Stop hiding behind excuses,"I snarled.“Fight me.You...you have to,"I said,a lump rising in my throat.
Tears glistened in Jet's blue eyes.“I'm sorry,Fawn.I'm so sorry..."She trailed off,and pounced.
The battle was brief but brutal.Jet sliced towards my chest.Ducking,her claws cut open my left ear.I rolled,letting her pin me down,before kicking her in the stomache and throwing her to the side.
I smelled blood.
Jet had a long gash down her leg.My tail was sliced open.Blood littered the ground.I had it in my fur.She had it in her eyes,running from a wound on her forehead.We had in on our claws.
“I see you haven't lost your skill,Fawn."Jet said to me.
I grunted.“Not bad yourself."
She stopped so suddenly that I nearly hit a tree.“Fawn,"Jet murmured,“I don't want this.Please,come with me!"
“I can't."I said bluntly.I swallowed hard.“Jet,you're like a sister to me.And now...you chose to side with Lichen.That was your decision."I paused.“And I've made up my mind."
She dipped her head.We must have looked a funny sight,first fighting and then saying tearful goodbyes.“At least allow me to protect you."
“How?"I asked,cocking my head.I didn't take charity.Never.I was too proud for that.But I wasn't stupid,and I would accept help when needed.
Jet walked up to me.I could've clawed her throat right then.I would have,had it been anyone else.But not Jet.
She told me to lower my head.Suddenly I yowled in pain as I felt teeth close around my ear.I thrashed around,inflicting several deep cuts on Jet's legs and chest,but still she held on.
Her grip tightened.Blood ran into my eyes.
Jet stood triumphantly over me,holding a bloody peice of...what?I realized in horror it was a my ear.At least,most of it.
“What did you do that for?"I yowled at her,claws unsheathed.
Jet dropped my ear and raised her head.“I can bring this to Lichen as proof that you are dead.No one will search for you if they believe you are gone for good.
I nodded.I was spitting mad for her pulling my ear off,but Jet was smart.She wouldn't do something if she didn't beleive it would work.
“Farewell,"I whispered.I looked down so she couldn't see the tears threatening to come spilling out.
“Farewell."
I sighed as I heard Jet pad away,carrying my bloody,torn ear.I would probably never see her again.I wouldn't see any of them again.Lichen had made that impossible.
He had pulled the group apart.For what?Pride?Power?No,Lichen just didn't like us.
Didn't like me.
I hated that cat,so much it hurt.To think I had loved him.
Only to be betrayed.
==Chapter 2==
Flametail
The Lookout
My tail twitched as I looked over the rocky outcrop.I glanced back at Ferry.“You sure about this?"I asked.He nodded in confirmation.Still,I raised my head warily.
“Flame,hurry up!"Ferry snapped at me.The the former kittypet still wore his twoleg collar,still acted as snobby as any cat from twolegplace.
Iflicked my tail in irritation.“I see it,Ferry.If you don't shut up you'll scare it away."
The tabby backed down.
I said in exsasperation and I watched the mouse scurry towards a leaf.I pricked my ears,tasted the air.Then I pounced.
Leaping over the outcrop and landing my paws on the mouse's back,I yowled in success.Ferry laughed at me.Looking down at the prey,I realized I had landed on a rock.The mouse had run off.
“You're a terrible hunter,"he commented.
I rolled my eyes.“As if you could do better."
“Hey!"Ferry protested.
It was too late.I was already walking off.“Where ya going?"he asked me.
I turned to face him and said simply,“I'm leaving.You're on your own,Ferry."I snorted as I said,almost sarcatically,“Good luck."
Once I was out of earshot,though,I turned to the crestfallen kittypet.At least I knew how to hunt,even if I had no skill.Ferry wouldn't stand a chance.“You're gonna need it."I whispered.
To be continued.
