IS A LONER INFERIOR TO A WARRIOR?

"Mouse dung!" Averi hissed as she leaped away from a vicious swipe and landed lightly on her paws. A ShadowClan warrior lashed out his paw, trying to trip her up, but Averi swiftly bit down on his paw, causing him to shriek in agony. He flailed around helplessly in Averi's grasp till she flipped him over, smashing him to the ground. Averi let go of the winded warrior and turned around to land a heavy blow at the warrior sneaking up behind her.

"This is easy!" Averi spat as she batted another warrior away. "Where are your supposed skills?"

"Right here!" A warrior with midnight-black fur flew towards her, caterwauling. Averi was too slow to react, and with outstretched claws, the warrior sunk her claws deep into Averi's flesh. Hissing and spitting, Averi churned her paws against the soft belly of the warrior, but the warrior only sank her claws in deeper, making Averi grimace.

Averi went limp under the warrior's grip, but the warrior didn't fall for the trick. Instead she flicked her tail, and more warriors poured out from the darkness like liquid shadows. They flexed their claws, their eyes glinting malevolently.

"Give up?" The warrior who attacked her sneered, her green eyes like flint.

Averi heaved a sigh. "Yes, I surrender."

"No playing tricks this time, or I'll shred you," the black warrior snarled, and sheathed her claws, leaping off Averi. Averi staggered to get up, wincing from her deep puncture wounds. She padded slowly towards the ShadowClan border that bordered ThunderClan.

"Hurry up!" The black warrior hissed, snapping her teeth at Averi's tail. Averi picked up speed and pelted off, the ShadowClan patrol chasing. "And make sure you never come back!"

Averi ran despite her wounds through ThunderClan and SkyClan territory. Exhausted, she didn't realize she had collapsed on the FeatherClan border, blood gushing out of her wounds, the sticky crimson liquid pooling around her battered body. Her tabby pelt was matted with blood, and she looked like a red lump of fur, too weak to stand.

''How stupid of me to think that the Clans would welcome me, a loner! ''Averi thought bitterly when a paw prodded her in the side.

"Who are you?"

|-|chapter 1=

Averi blinked through her hazy world of pain. Blurry shapes, faint outlines danced around her. The cat prodded her side again. Averi rolled over, gazing at the cat. It was a very dark, almost black gray tom with striking yellow eyes and blue tints. What struck her were the appendages growing on his shoulders. They were feathered, long and broad - wait, wings?

"Is that...a pair of wings on your shoulders?" she gasped as a fresh wave of pain rippled through her.

The cat let out a small mrrow of amusement. "No time for questions," he mewed. "Heronwing, hoist the cat on my back. We'll fly back to camp."

Fly? Averi wondered if she was hearing properly, or the pain was messing up her hearing as well. The cat, supposedly named Heronwing, picked up Averi by her scruff and dropped her onto the dark gray tom's back. Averi's muzzle brushed the appendages on the tom's back, and she sneezed as a feather tickled her nose. So it was true! It wasn't a myth after all. FeatherClan cats had wings and could fly.
