He stood up, looking her deep in the eye, "Mau is trying to Flatline me." He looked behind him. Nothing yet. Mau might be unconscious. He looked back at Falitna, "You need to get the rest of the rebellion out immediantly. If Mau does flatline me, the rebellion will be in a safer place." A guard approached, his head low and his fangs bared. Sitka looked desperately at Falitna, "Go.. now!" He turned to face the guard, and the both wrestled. Sitka was bigger by a good bit, but the guard fought long and hard. Evantually he pinned him to the ground. Sitka slashed his throat, but before he could watch the guard's end, he was tackled by two more guards. He hissed. Sitka clawed them off and properly faced them. One was a small tabby and the other was the russian blue he had faced off with earlier. They surrounded him on both sides. Sitka looked from one to another, growling fiercely. The russian blue charged, "You're mine!" Sitka fought him head on. The smaller taby charged, and Sitka turned the Russian blue around so the smaller tabby crashed into the Russian Blue's throat head-first. The Blue cried out, and fell to the ground, his chest unmoving and slightly bleeding. He turned to face the in-training tabby, "You killed him!" The small tabby got a scared look in his eyes, cowering, "I..I didn't mean to! It was an accident I swear! I didn't want to kill him!" Sitka growled, "Why did you kill him?!" The apprentice yowled, "I didn't want to!" A few tears ran down the tabby's ginger cheeks, ''Mau is going to kill me!" Sitka got an idea, "Are you flatlined yet?"
"N...no."
"Good. Run away until you can't run any more. That way Mau will never find you. Now go!" The small guard ran off, not looking back. A growl sounded. He turned, and a whole group of guards stood there, all in a line. One was holding Mau. He gently placed her down, "You knocked your own princess out cold. You TRAITOR!'' They all stalked forward, there heads low. But Sitka saw something none of them had. The Amethyst.
