Moonrise/Chapter 15

Chapter Summary
 Feathertail's PoV 
 * Shrieking erupts from the cave, slashing through the pattering rain, right through the waterfall's noises. Feathertail springs to her paws, her pelt rising, telling her to run far from the cave, but Stormfur being in danger holds her in place. Brambleclaw orders for them to follow, but Crowpaw protests against this. The cats stare at Brambleclaw, disbeliving of his statement, but he carries on anyways. The tabby tom bounds for the cave entrance, before stopping, swinging a look at his companions. He reminds them of Stormfur, and it being their only chance for him to escape.


 * Without waiting, Brambleclaw springs into action, running down the rocks for the path. Crowpaw mutters about him being crazy, but decides to follow anyway. Feathertail scrambles quickly after, paws sliding over the wet stones, claws scraping against them painfully. She tries desperately to stay on her paws, speeding along the ledge behind the waterfall, not thinking of slipping or falling, since time is running out. The screeches grow louder as the silver she-cat nears; terror floods through Feathertail, imagining Sharptooth turning Stormfur, her brother, into fresh-kill.


 * Feathertail reaches the cave, skidding inside, and halts behind Brambleclaw. For a moment, she isn't able to make anything out, for the moon is covered with clouds, providing no light. The massive sharp of Sharptooth appears to be everywhere, massive paws pounding over the ground.
