Batty stared at the dark grey tom in awe. He was strong, big and very agile for his size, but he was also temperamental. "P..Please, I just w..want to talk,i..don't think we should be doing this" she stuttered in fear. The tom ignored her, a smile on his face as he stared down at a old brown tom, whose fur was turning white. He was limp and not breathing, murdered by Barber. The grey tom laughed, before licking the brown tom's blood from his claws. "we've won! " he says happily, "we've finnaly won!" The small black and white shecat backed, "a..are you ok,Barber?" she asks terrror lacing her mew. The tom nodded, "More than ok..I'm great!" his eyes had a strange, wild gleam to them. "Come on! I want to fight some more!" he demanded, leaping at Batty. She crouched, avoiding his attacks. Panting she struggled to her paws, Battywing's heart was thumping rapidly she thought everyone could hear it. "Run!" was all she could think as her paws carried her unsteadily. "Hey! I DEMAND A FIGHT!' he screamed after her as he chased her. Faster, Batty Faster! Her paws carried her away form Twoleg place. Tumbling over a hill she landed in a field of flowers, Barber was right behind her and struck her on the cheek digging his claws into her face...suddenly the darm tom's weight was pulled off of her and she collapsed tired in a heap. "Are you ok?" a female cats voice asked. 'I guess.." Batty replied, shaking, "who are you?" "I'm Autumnheart, a warrior of Featherclan..you are?" "You can call me Batty.." the small black and white shecat mews. "Are you sure?" Autumnheart was horrified for a moment before continuing, "well you can come with me.." Batty ran more calm and steady now. She felt as though she was flying as she followed the warrior. she stopped at a pool of water as Autumnheart continued on. She looked at her reflection in the water. Batty gasped as a pair of wings appeared at her sides for a split second before disappearing like mist. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- "We welcome Battywing as the newest warrior of Featherclan," a toms voice announced moons later. Battywing had healed but was still looking behind her, after all if Barber found her he’d kill her.
