30: Fight

Snoweagle awoke and saw that Lightkit was sleeping and seemed stable enough... at least for now. He glanced out the den and took notice that the clan was catching prey for Twoclan. Raincloud  looked over. There had been a dispute at noon deciding who would lead, and it ended in a tie, resulting in both Ruin and Lightningstar would share as rulers.
"I'm glad to be back, but a lot has changed..." Snoweagle said to Raincloud.
"Yes, good to see you." Raincloud said iceily.
"So, you like Ruins cats better?" Snoweagle said.
"They are cool, and it seems okay." Raincloud said.
"He probally just wants the nine lives." Snoweagle reasoned. "He's just going to get you to trust him, then abandon you."
"You don't know anything about Ruin." said Raincloud. "Give him a chance! I've been teaching him a lot. I told him how 9 lives work... and he did not care! He wanted to know more about patrols instead!" Raincloud's speech ended with a spat.
Ruin could be pretending.... So he could throw Raincloud off the trail. Snoweagle thought.
"I've been teaching him the warrior code, and he respects it and listens to me. He passes it on to his cats. Shut up. Just bacause you are Lightningstar's favorite and you have a fancy name, doesn't mean you are better than me!" Raincloud finished, eyes flashing.
Jealous. Thought Snowealge.
"Ruin's just using you!" Snoweagle said, raising his voice a little.
"Shut up!" Raincloud spat. He unsheathed his claws, ready to fight.
"I don't want to fight you." Snoweagle said. "He's just taking advantage of you..."
Raincloud snarled.
"That's it. Screw non-violence!" Snoweagle said. "Bring it on." he said, unsheathing his claws. Raincloud's head jerked to the right. His claws sheathed. Snowealge followed the movements.
"Oh heeeeeeyyyy! Lightningstar!" Raincloud said. "Nothing going on here...."
Lightningstar glared at them. "You two are banished form the camp for the day. You can come back at sunset."
Raincloud and Snowealge stalked out of the den and headed into the forest, separating themselves from each other as much as possible.

.: The next morning :.

Snowealge awoke to a vibration of a scream. He whirled around in the den and saw Lightkit sprawled on the ground gasping short, heavy breaths. She started to thrash around. Snowealge leapt to his paws, not knowing what to do. She finally sucked in a heavy breath and gasped, "Stonefur." She fell limp. Snoweagle sat back, not able to do anything but wait. Stonefur. The name seemed to ring a bell in his mind. Lightkit slowly opened her eyes. She did not look frightened, just sad.
"please..." Lightkit started. "kill me now." "please."
AN: I love watching people sit back and worry. don't worry, next chapter will be posted on Saturday.
