TW: Graphic Description of Injuries
The tabby cat let out a strangled cry as a claw marred her face. She only had the briefest of moments to realize she'd most likely have
another facial scar caused by a cat from another Clan -- and how annoyed she was at that -- before she felt sharp claws sink into her neck. With another strangled noise she managed to move her neck away, though the claws had done some nasty damage. Violetfreckle couldn't catch a break either; she was acutely aware of the fangs that had previously been digging into her shoulder ripping a piece of flesh off. Searing hot agony caused her to scream until her throat hurt. Burning hot tears welled as she squeezed her eyes shut, mixing with the warm blood dripping from her facial wound.
She didn't even feel her opponent's hind leg pin her down; Violetfreckle was fading fast. She heard the words this cat was saying, but barely, as if she were deep underwater. The words "murderer", "deputy", and "honor" were the clearest, managing somehow to pierce through the thick fog of her mind. Then, before she knew it, she couldn't breathe. Violetfreckle gasped for air like a fish out of water, desperate to fill her empty, aching lungs. The ThunderClan she-cat felt as if she would explode at any given moment. The pressure on her lungs mixed with her near-unbearable agony was bad enough, but her Starsdamned mind would not stop. Her head pounded, multiplying her pain times ten and making her feel as if she was actually going to die. She had thought the fox attack was bad, but this fate was far worse.
Violetfreckle barely felt the claws slashing her chest, tearing her flesh so deep that one might even be able to see the reddish-white of a rib or two. As the blood spilled from her limp body, the incessant pain in her head began to fade. In fact, it seemed all the pain was starting to go away. Her eyes fluttered open to look at the cat above her, still speaking. But the words were lost to the wind. As her racing heartbeat slowed, relief settled over Violetfreckle. It would be over soon. This.. the worst experience of her Starsdamned
life... she only had to bear it all for a bit longer.
Was she going to die here? With this cat standing above her, throwing their bitter, angry words to her lifeless corpse? Would she be just another cat found dead at the border? Just a number, a scratch mark on a tree if she were lucky. She flickered her eyes from the cat, who could have been real or a figment of her imagination at this point, to the sky above. Soft clouds drifted across the pale blue of the sky above. They called to her, beckoning her. Panic fluttered in her chest like a traped bird, trying to claw its way out and get her to fight to stay awake. But the darkness was just so tempting, so soft, and so quiet. Maybe this was the way it was supposed to be. She... didn't really have much else to live for right now. Maybe this was her fate.
Violetfreckle closed her eyes.
