Hawk's Story- 3, A Warrior Cats Fanfic

Chapter 3-

     Hawk blinked awake. The carp he had eaten seemed like a lifetime ago. He sighed. "I wish new-leaf was here." Hawk muttered. He tasted the air. Blood! Hawk's eyes widened. A cat was eating a goose! He trotted over, crouching in the ferns. Sure enough, there was a ginger tom eating it. Hawk narrowed his amber eyes. The cat had just started on the goose. "I'm so lucky!" The cat purred. "give it to me!" With a snarl, Hawk crashed into the ginger tom. He felt bad for fighting the ginger tom. "No!" The ginger tom pushed himself up and faced Hawk, growling. There were lots of other cats around the lake, and all sorts of territories. Hawk dived under the bigger cat, slashing its flank. He then sank his teeth into the other tom's rump. The ginger cat shrieked, whipping around and slashing Hawk away. Hawk felt the sting of claws in his shoulder, and he leaped and twisted, landing onto the other cat's back. He sank his teeth and claws in, the ginger tom flailing. Hawk jumped off. "Get out now, or face your death!" Hawk spat. "You started it. I'll finish it!" With a roar, the other tom slammed his paws down on Hawk's head. Hawk was younger than the ginger tom, 8 moons old. The other cat was at least 3 years old. Hawk dived away, his head throbbing. He felt the other cat slash against his flank. Hawk staggered, rearing and slashing at the ginger cat's muzzle. He raced past the ginger cat, slashing his claws and sinking his teeth and claws into his tail. Hawk yanked the ginger cat's tail, flipping him over. He pinned the ginger cat down. "Now do you want to leave?" Hawk growled. "No!" The ginger cat heaved, but Hawk was too fast. Hawk had already sank his teeth into the ginger cat's throat. "N-" The other cat's cry was cut off by blood. His body convulsed one last time, and the ginger cat was dead. Hawk bowed his head. He felt bad. "I shouldn't have done this." Hawk sat down, head still bowed. He glanced around. The clearing was covered in blood. Hawk liked his wounds clean, then applied marigold, horsetail, oak leaf and dock to his wounds. Hawk bound them together with cobwebs and some bindweed and beech leaves. Hawk finished the goose first. "You killed my mate!" A voice sounded behind him, full of despair. Hawk whipped around to see a white she-cat with piercing blue eyes. "Why?!" She sprang at him.
