Ok now she was seriously starting to get tired.
Her paws thudded against the ground as she raced through the
territory, breathless, panting, exhausted. She couldn't keep
going much longer; it hurt to run, it hurt to breath, it even
now hurt to think. And still she kept moving, moving, moving,
wishing for a miracle, praying to StarClan. But they hadn't
answered, oh no. They never answered Piano Keys. No-one answered
Piano Keys.
The dogs were gaining on her now; she had to fight. Spinning,
determined now to beat the canines wanting to tear her apart,
she unsheathed her claws and glared at the dogs with yellow eyes
filled with hated and anguish She fuelled her blow with her
anger at being ignored and swung towards the largest dog ~ a
massive Rottweiler, though she didn't know ~ and aimed for its
head with her claws unsheathed.
They all hate me. They think I'm a nuisance.
Piano Keys felt her claws connect with flesh, a grim smile on
her face as the dog's blood spattered her face.
I can't help my clan properly. I'm too tired to help. I can't
sleep because of my stupid nightmares.
The striped, black and white she-cat dodged one attack from the
largest dog, but another's jaws snapped around a paw. She shook
it off and struck at them again.
I'm cursed. I'm not popular. I deserve to die.
Piano dodged another flailing attack and clawed at a smaller
dog's chest, making it howl and run away,
And I don't know if I love someone, or if I just like them as a
friend.
Her blows were slowing, now, as the dogs turned tail and fled.
Piano Keys slumped to the floor, ignoring the blood staining her
matted fur. Was it her's? Was it the dogs'? The injured she-cat
didn't know. She didn't care. She didn't even mind. She just
wanted to curl up and do nothing, because although her clan was
happy, she wasn't. Because there was only one cat she was
comfortable with talking to, and she didn't want to bug him any
more. He was the leader for StarClan's sake ~ as much as she
longed to go to him, shuffle back on aching paws to speak to
him... No, she couldn't. She looked too... Too wild and ruffled
and skinny and blood-covered. Yeah. That was it. Too... Ugly in
general.
Piano Keys shook her head and began to cry.

[center]Hunting got his mind off of everything that stressed
him, so Rumenikstar was out on his walk. The presence on the
forest seemed a bit... Off, though, and his suspicions were
confirmed when he heard barking. Dogs barking. And the smell of
blood mingled with Piano Keys was what really made the leader
freak, and he ran toward the scent.
There she was! The black-and-white Piano Keys. Dogs were all
around her, though most looked like they had given up
completely. That reassured Rumenikstar a bit, but only for those
hopes to be smashed when he saw one charging right for Piano.
With a yowl of something between fury, worry, and strength, the
ShadowClan leader ran straight at Piano Keys, knocking her
aside. "Get up! Climb that tree if you can, just... Stay away
from the dogs." He ordered, lunging at one of them.
It ran away, but gave Rumenikstar time to notice Piano Keys was
injured horribly and crying. "Piano... Come here, I..." He
snarled at the final dog coming near them, and it led the pack
away. "I'll bring you to camp. Don't worry, you'll be fine." He
purred quietly, wanting to soothe Piano Keys, and licked gently
at her cuts. They looked bad, but he wouldn't tell her that.
After most of the blood was washed away, Rumenikstar picked
Piano Keys up, carefully walking back to camp. At one point she
began to get heavy, and needing rest, Rummy laid her down.
"Piano? You awake?" He meowed, laying beside her in a fit of
worry.[/center]

Get up? Climb a tree? No, that didn't appeal to her at all, so
she remained where she was. The barking rang in her ears some
more, as well as yowling, before it all faded away again and
there was silence. Silence. She'd never liked the quiet before,
but now, it was so sweet she didn't want it to end at all. Which
was a shame, because it wasn't long before Rumenikstar was back
again, trying to calm her down even though she didn't want to
calm down. She was sick of calming down, because she never
really 'calmed down' at all. She just hid her anger behind that
stupid, quiet mask and screamed inside instead of outside. And
it did nothing at all.
Then Rumenikstar was trying to move her. He'd already gotten rid
of the blood staining her pelt, and now he was dragging her
along the floor back to camp. At that point she let out a grunt
of protest, wanting to stay where she was and do nothing, as she
had planned, but she couldn't really argue and went limp until
he dropped her and lay beside her, wanting to know if she was
awake. Well of course she was awake; she'd only just stopped
crying.
[b]"I'm awake." Piano Keys mumbled quietly, just loud enough for
him to hear. "Thanks for saving me from the dogs. I thought
they'd all gone ~ guess I was wrong again." The black and white
she-cat opened both yellow eyes to look at her leader. Great
StarClan, she probably looked awful, what with her matted fur,
dull eyes, ribs showing through her skin and just general
weariness. She didn't look like an average cat, that was for
sure; recently, Piano had been neglecting herself in every way ~
sleep, eating, interacting with others... After she'd offered to
help guard the camp from dogs, she'd done nothing all day, and
hadn't even moved to get something to eat. Only once had she
left her post to go hunting, and that was when she'd met the
dogs, fought them, and now she was lying there doing nothing.
"Sorry for not finishing them off."
Wow. Nothing was done good enough when she did it, it seemed.

[center]"Excuse me? Piano, you did great. I wouldn't have ever
been able to fight off that many dogs on my own. Now come on, I
need to find Northernlights. Those cuts look bad. Can you stand
up?" Rumenikstar asked, his face looking downcast at Piano Keys.
He clawed at some moss hanging from a tree, and dampened it with
the morning dew. "I dun noo wha Nothenlides useth but the mosth
will thtop bleeding." He meowed, struggling to speak with the
moss in his jaws. Setting it down, he wrapped it around her cuts
and gashes, and to his surprise, it actually stayed. With a
triumphant smile, he waved his tail, motioning for Piano Keys to
try to get up. She looked pretty bad, and Rumenikstar almost
wanted to just leave her there and find Northernlights, but he
knew that it would be better to have her walk in pain, then rest
in comfort and face the possibility of some dogs returning and
finding her all alone.
Oh no. What if the dogs did come back, and follow the scent of
blood to camp? That could cause some real problems, and it
worried Rumenikstar. Of course, he was more worried about Piano
Keys at the moment, so he looked back at her.[/center]

[b]"I was angry. I'm always stronger when I'm angry." Piano Keys
stared up at him when he asked her to get up, and felt like
moaning again. Couldn't she have one minute's rest, seriously?
Nonetheless, she tucked her legs underneath her and pushed to
try and stand. Eventually she was able to keep herself up, and
glanced sideways at Rumenikstar. "Is this ok? I'll be able to
get to camp, I reckon, if I try..." She trailed off.
Her whole body ached, but at least the moss had stopped the
bleeding. She kept very, very still, so as not to make the
makeshift bandages fall to the floor, scenting the air for the
dogs. "Thanks for getting rid of them all back there; I was
exhausted after only a few blows." Piano Keys managed a weak
smile, which was reassuring. And then, as if reading his
thoughts, she mewed, "If the dogs follow us back to camp,
they'll be wanting the blood. I'll have to get up and run again,
but don't worry. I'll lead them away eventually."
Piano Keys' smile grew wider then. "I'll be ready for them. I'm
always ready."
