Hazeleyes gazed into the pool with the other eleven dead tributes.Her belly fluttered with nervousness as she watched Alex's group argue among themselves,though it was mostly because of Swiftstar's grief over Echostrike betraying her.
"This is ridiculous!"Bismuth snarled,his ebony tail twitching with irritation."Dodre's group is growing more sinister by the passing moment,and Alex's group is now going to shatter to pieces like ice!"
"How does it feel now,Skyfire and Vi,once being part of Dodre's group?"Apollo sneered.
Vi looked guiltily at her paws while Skyfire's wings beat madly in the air."We didn't know he was going to betray us!"
"You...,"Vi mumbled,not taking her gaze off her paws.
"He promised me he would help me win the Games!How was I supposed to see through that impenetrable disguise?!"Skyfire continued.
Vi sighed,looking smaller and more helpless than when the Games began."He said I was destined to win.But he left me...he left me to die in the cave-in."Her eyes began tearing up as her body trembled.
"At least Shadestar tried to help you,"Hazleyes murmured,then immediately clamped her jaws shut.Why had she just said that?She despised that traitor!He was a complete abomination of the warrior code itself and didn't deserve to be called a Clan leader or even have nine lives!She forced down a growl that rumbled in her throat.
"But he didn't!"she wailed,her eyes now stained from her tears."I glitched and he couldn't save me!It's my own fault I'm dead!It's my own fault I'm here!It's my own fault for trusting Dodre!!"
Hazeleyes pressed her ears against her head to keep out Vi's shrills of pain and regret.Though I can't say I blame her for being mad at herself,she thought.
Skyfire gently nuzzled the she-cat."Don't say that.You're not the only one who fell for his tricks."Her eyes clouded with shame and grief.
Midstrip shook his head."Blaming ourselves for all our mistakes won't solve anything."
"Neither is watching the tributes turn on each other and die because of it!"Burnflight cried.
"What can we do?"Tundrafrost snorted."We're just the spirits of our former selves.We're as useless as dust."
"Don't say that!"Hazeleyes yowled,flexing her eyes."We're not just spirits!We're like StarClan!"
"How so?"Angelfeather murmured."It's not like we can just appear out of thin air."
"No,we can't,"Hazeleyes mewed."But that doesn't mean we should just sit here and do nothing."
"So what should we do?"Comet challenged."I don't know about you all,but I've never seen any dead tributes assist their O.C. group in the Games for the last two years."
"Maybe we should just leave it alone,"Arjanna woofed.
"But what about the xXIshehXx group?"Silverpaw wailed.
"What,so nobody cares about the Echostrike group?"Bismuth snarled.
"What about the angeliclayer one?"Burnflight yowled.
"Nobody gives a hare's tail about that!"Skyfire snorted.
"I suppose you also don't care about my group?"Hazeleyes growled,feeling her muscles tense.
"Why should we?You're the only one that's died,"Midstrip retorted.
Hazeleyes snarled,getting ready to pounce and claw his face clean off."Why you-."
"Wait!"Arjanna howled,silencing the other fighting O.C.s."We shouldn't argue with each other like Alex's group!"
"Apparently,Hazeleyes wouldn't mind doing so,"Bismuth sneered.
Arjanna shot him a burning glare."No,stinking furball!"she snarled."We shouldn't be like this!Remember how she said we're like Star...Clan?Well,then we should act like it!Not some immature pups and kits that can't even share prey together!"
The O.C.s looked at each other.Hazeleyes nodded."She's right,"she sighed."StarClan wouldn't act like this.We shouldn't either.Their the powerful ancestors of the warriors."
Some of the O.C.s nodded in agreement,while others looked at each other warily,and Bismuth simply just let out a huff and lightly nodded.
Flea-brain,Hazleyes thought in scorn.No wonder he died at the start.
YES I FINALLY UPDATED ;D; I'M SU HAPPEH
Without realizing it,I realized I kinda redid a scene from Omen of the Stars XD Book 6 I believe?I WON'T GIVE YOU ANY SPOILERS IF YOU HAVEN'T READ IT YET.
So,yea,if I can hopefully think of anything,I MIGHT get another chapter out,but then again,it most likely will be long like they usually are,so it might come out tomorrow. c:
