Nightwing's Fate

By Ruby Kemp

The wind howled and the trees swayed. An owl hooted loudly in the distance. Night had fallen. A long sheet of snow lay beneath the trees, covering their roots. A lone, black cat stood out amongst the pure white, leaving a small trail of paw-shaped footprints in its midst. It had long, black fur, and multi-coloured eyes. One was bright blue, the other jet black. A deep scar ran through the black eye, giving the cat a sinister impression. He had been walking for days. He was tired, hungry, lost… but still, he carried on, focusing on his task. His brother would pay for humiliating him. And when he found him… he was going to rip him to shreds. And he wouldn't be satisfied until his brother was dead. The cat stopped at a long road that ran through the forest. A car whizzed past his nose, blowing back his fur. He took a step back. He had crossed many roads before, yet for some reason this one felt significant, as though it was more important than the others. He shrugged off the feeling of doubt that had begun to creep up his spine, and stepped forward onto the road. It was quiet, so he confidently began to cross. But to his sudden surprise, a car came whizzing around the corner, its engine screaming loudly, heaving music pumping out the windows. There was nothing he could do. The car came hurtling towards him. He needed to run, but his legs felt frozen. Seconds before impact, he felt something ram into him from his right, pushing him out of the way of the car with seconds to spare. When the black cat looked up at who had saved him, the cat that could've let him die, that cat that he had wanted dead, he smiled, and everything was forgiven.
