WingClan, a Chicken clan ЯР-- 'Fly with the breeze'

There was a loud bang and a large cloud of blue smoke. When the fog cleared, there stood SwiftPaw, holding up a steaming bowl. "Chicken soup, anyone? Made with fresh RussetPotato!"

Bud's chicks jumped at the bang, and hid behind their mother, who cocked her head at the question.

StarShine jumps into the bowl and starts eating it. Thanks! She throws confetti into the air, and the confetti turns into chocolate cheese that rains down from the sky.

Bloodwing darted through the tunnel, looking back over his shoulder to make sure he wasn't followed. Once they had relaxed partway along the stretch, he'd broken from the company and run back through the earthy passages and, finally, into daylight. He allowed himself only a second to breath before carrying on again..

Bloodwing isn't with them. This is so awesome! I can't believe I actually got him to break away without anyone noticing! It worked out perfectly . . . *evil laugh*

(Okay, this is only an optional read. Bloodwing's got to be doing something while Scarlet and Pychaste fight a snake. It just wouldn't be right otherwise

)

Bloodwing winced as water hit the top of his head. He glared upwards at the stalactite festered ceiling, wondering how even caves could be so wet. The only sound other than the heavy breathing of the warriors on either side of him was the scratching of his own nails across the cool, stone floor. He spoke no words to his companions. Partly because one of them appeared to be missing his voice box altogether, only a scar lying in its place.

At last, traveling through a myriad of pitch black tunnels in which Bloodwing couldn’t even see his own tail feathers, they arrived in an antechamber. Stalagmites crowned the roof, descending almost to the floor, their cones not inches away. There was light here, cast by a crackling fire in the four corners of the room. The smoke spiraled up, and out of a hollow opening in the top of the chamber.

“Ah, Bloodwing. I knew you’d come eventually,” Nightshade hissed from the darkness. She stood in the center of the room, talons sharpened and glinting in the firelight. “Pleasant journey?”

“I was lost,” he admitted. “But with these two rather large friends of yours outside of the entrance, even my limited intelligence showed me which way to go.”

“It’s a pity you didn’t arrive in time to see your friends, I am afraid they’re a little occupied at the moment . . .” her grin widened.

For a moment Bloodwing’s stomach flipped. If he remembered correctly, there was a snake in the lower levels. Still, he had no fear. Pychaste and Scarlet could handle any snake, even if it was bigger than the little pipsqueak it had been years ago.

“But I forget my manners,” she simpered, putting a wing to her chest. “Please, sit down.” she indicated a mossy perch decorated with ornate stones with the hospitality of someone who is holding a family reunion. Both took their seats, never taking eyes of each other.

“Now, to business,” Nightshade said simply, and jerked her head, signaling the warriors to leave them. They obeyed.

“Yes, to business,” Bloodwing glared. “Where’s my daughter?”

“In the lower levels, just waiting for her gallant old man to rescue her,” she sighed heavily. “Actually, she hasn’t mentioned you at all. Not surprising, considering that you abandoned her.”

“I did not abandon her,” he growled through a gritted beak. “If I had, she would not be here today.”

“So you say,” her smile was as sweet as honey on a hot day. “But we’re not here to debate what has been, we are here to delegate terms for her release.”

“I’m listening.”

For a moment Nightshade stared at him calmly, then smiled innocently. “I want you, dying and bleeding. Is it not just, for you to die the death of my mate?”

“Very just,” his eyes narrowed. “If I had killed him.”

“Don’t deny it!” Nightshade screeched, standing erect on her perch, eyes flashing. “Don’t! You killed him, and prevented him from taking his revenge on Hackleclan.”

“It was Emberstar who threw the fatal blow,” his voice was steady, even. He had nothing to fear. “I didn’t strike my brother. I took a blow for him, but by that time he was dying all ready. He was dying before the fight started, infecting himself with a disease to poison Hackleclan.”

“You lie,” growled Nightshade, her claws itching to strangle him. “You always were a liar, and a fool. Your brother was twice the rooster you are. My blood boils to think that you were related to him, you piece of filth!”

Bloodwing saw it coming. She flew at him, claws raised, and her warriors joined her in the fray. He would be torn apart in seconds.

Immediately he plunged sideways, poking one of his tail feathers into the fire and using it to set the moss in the middle of the room aflame. He slid between the legs of a massive cochin rooster charging him, and, using the stick from the perch, plunged it into the crack in the floor. With all his might he pried it open, and saw the stone door in the floor move several inches. With one last glance towards the screeching hen in the middle of the room, he jumped into blackness.

He was gone.
