ON WITH THE EPILOGUE (all in Swift's pov)
…
(One moon after final battle)
The wind blew by strongly, making the grass wave wildly. It blurred my vision as I stared intently at my prey. A small, brown rabbit with a white underbelly munch innocently on a blade of grass. I flicked my ear and took a deep breath in, the rabbit's scent entering my nose. I shifted my weight a little, preparing to leap. The sun blazed against my back, its heat warming up my body.
Three…
Two…
One…
I leaned back to leap, but something ran in front of me loudly. The rabbit shot up into the air and began to run away. I narrowed my eyes and took a step forward before sprinting after it. The rabbit ran around small holes, smaller than its own body, searching for one that it could fit in.
I was catching up. I saw a blur of color out of the corner of my eye but ignored it. I sped up. If this other creature was chasing the same rabbit, then I should show it that it can't steal my prey. I growled and ran faster, a leap away from it.
"Swift," I heard my name, making me stop once again. I abandoned my hunt and crouched down, hiding in the grass. I stiffened up so I could stay still. "Swift, I know you're there," the cat purred and I smiled warmly to myself. I stood up and shook out my fur, coming face-to-face with Topaz. He smiled back and stepped forward, closing the space between us.
He nuzzled me softly and I licked his ear. We pulled away so we could look each other in the eyes. "What's so important that you needed to make me abandon my hunt," I shoved him playfully, making him stumble. Topaz chuckled and nuzzled me again. "Ring is looking for you, she told me that you, Forest, and her have important things to discuss," he purred and licked my ear before stepping away and turning around.
He walked forward a little and looked behind his shoulder. "You coming?" he smiled mischievously and I laughed slightly. I padded up to him so I was to his shoulders. I licked his cheek and leaned up to his ear. "Keep up," I purred before sprinting ahead of him. I heard him laugh and then chase after me.
After the battle a moon ago, I became the third-in-command and Forest became the second-in-command. Ring was now the leader of The Fang's. Lakeclan, Breezeclan, and Rockclan territory was abandoned. I still hunted in Breezeclan territory, which was where I was now.
Blazeclan was destroyed and a small patrol had to kill the surviving medicine cats. I flicked my ear and leapt over the Rogue River in one clean leap. I landed on the other side and breathed in the forest scent. I flicked my ear and heard Topaz leap across. He landed next to me and I turned to him.
Everyone had a scar as a reminder of that day. I had a scar on my stomach. "Come on," he murmured and walked ahead of me, pulling me with his tail. I caught up with him and brushed against him. He purred and nuzzled the side of my neck. The Fang's still trained, but not as much as we used to. We walked in silence all the way back to camp.
…
"Hello Swift," greetings were sent in my direction. I nodded back to them and walked faster towards the leader's den. I still leapt in Topaz's den, even though there was a separate den for me next to the leader's den. "Good luck," Topaz whispered in my ear before trotting towards the group. I sighed softly and walked into the den, darkness engulfing me momentarily.
"Hello Swift, I see Topaz found you," Ring said once I came into view. I gave a short nod and sat by the entrance, leaning against the wall. "The Snake Brother's group reported that they found an unfamiliar scent on Lakeclan territory," Ring spoke up and curled her tail around her paws neatly.
I perked my ears up and raised my head. My mother sat a fox-length away from me, ears perked up and head held high. Her hazel eyes reminded me so much of my brother. I looked away and blinked any tears that were forming away. I took in a shaky breath and shook out my fur. "We need to decide on which group to go investigate," Ring added and glanced at me.
I shrugged slightly and sat up straight. "I'll go, my group is still the smallest," I said and flicked my ear. Ring nodded slightly and looked at my mother. "Forest, what do you think?" she tilted her head slightly. I looked behind Ring at the wall; I knew Forest was looking at me. "Is that your final decision Swift," she murmured the same way she used to talk to me when I was a kit.
I nodded and looked down at my paws. Looking into her hazel eyes reminded me too much of Acorn. "Alright, whenever your group is ready Swift," Ring said and flicked her tail in dismissal. I stood up quickly and left the den. I cleared my throat and walked underneath the Crevice.
Rat, Briar, Nimble, Glacier, Weasel, and Topaz were sitting near the entrance. I flicked my ear and began speed-walking to them. I walked around some cats that were sitting and sighed. "Hello Swift," Rat was the first to notice me. I smiled slightly and shook out my fur. "We have a task to complete, no complaining," I said and looked at Rat teasingly.
He chuckled and stood up to stretch. "What task?" Nimble asked and stood up. "We're going to Lakeclan territory to check if anything is there, according to the Snake Brother's, there was an unfamiliar scent there," I said and looked at Weasel. "Are you coming?" he would always stay behind with Sand, he didn't participate in the battle either.
For some reason, he blamed himself for Acorn's death. He said that if he was there, he could have done something to help. His mismatched colored eyes flashed with guilt and he nodded quickly. "You're coming with us?" Rat said and I saw him hide a smile. Weasel cleared his throat.
"Ya, it's the least I can do af-"I cut him off. "Don't blame yourself for Acorn's death, somebody was supposed to die and apparently it was him," I snapped and glared at him. "Do you forgive me then," Weasel shuffled his paws and flicked his ear. "There's nothing for me to forgive since you didn't do anything, but yes," I said and began padding to the entrance.
Topaz easily caught up with me and I closed my eyes. "You alright?" he whispered and I nodded twice before taking a deep breath. "Yep, come on," I said softly at first, then louder.
…
We walked silently towards the Rogue River. "Do you think there is something out there?" Rat spoke from behind me. I looked behind my shoulder and smiled teasingly. "Why, you scared," I chuckled and he smirked. "Terrified, aren't you," he said and looked at the group. Briar laughed slightly and nudged him softly with her shoulder.
He licked her cheek and Briar purred. I turned around and took a deep breath. The fresh scent of the river entered my nose and I smiled. "Run," I simply said before sprinting. I heard them laughing behind me and I leapt across the river.
I turned around and smiled, watching the group stand by the river's edge. Topaz leapt across first, followed by Rat, Glacier, Nimble, and Briar. Weasel stood hesitantly and shuffled his paws. "What, you forgot how to jump across?" I smiled slightly and he gave a small smile back before running and jumping across.
He landed with a thud next to me and stumbled slightly. "Guess not," he chuckled and walked ahead of me. I flicked my ear and began leading the group through Breezeclan territory.
…
"I want everyone quiet while we are on Lakeclan territory," I murmured before slipping into the river and swimming across as quietly as I could. I heard the other's following and I pulled myself out, water dripping down my shoulders and muzzle. I stood up, my fur clinging against my skin because of the water. I scented the air and looked around with narrowed eyes.
"Nimble and Glacier, go that way," I whispered and flicked my tails to the right. They nodded and began stalking in the direction I sent them to. "Briar, Rat, and Weasel, go to the left, Topaz and I will go forward," I murmured and we all went deeper into Lakeclan territory.
Topaz and I walked forward quietly into the Lakeclan forest. I kept my nose high in the air and ears perked. Topaz stopped suddenly and looked at me. "Scent trail," he whispered and looked towards a bush. I followed his gaze and narrowed my eyes.
I saw the slightest of movements behind the bush. "It's definitely a cat," Topaz breathed out and I saw his claws unsheathe. I looked around at the bushes surrounding the small clearing. More movement.
"Topaz," I gasped slightly, but not before we were surrounded. Each cat looked about the size of a warrior, but some looked like apprentices. The biggest and smallest ones stepped forward, baring their teeth. I unsheathed my claws and looked around quickly.
"Who are you," the biggest one spoke with a low voice. "I could ask you the same thing," I snarled and Topaz nudged me softly. I looked at him out of the corner of my eye and saw him sheath his claws, his bristled fur flattening. He glanced at me with a look that said don't be hostile, we don't want to fight.
I growled to myself and sheathed my claws. "Who are you," the cat repeated in the same voice. He had russet brown fur with faint white streaks on his sides and pale green eyes. He seemed so familiar. I perked my ears up and my eyes widened.
"Russel…" I gasped and he tilted his head slightly. The other cats growled slightly and Russel tilted his head more, staring at my face. I glanced at the cat closest to him. It was a dark grey she-cat with white ear tips, she was a curse. One pale blue eye and one pale yellow eye. "Wolf, from the Mountain cats," Topaz murmured, staring at the she-cat.
I looked at the other cats. Something wasn't right. They all had pale eyes, as if they were staring at something off in the distance. I stared at Russel's pale green eyes. So unfamiliar. His eyes were bright green.
Suddenly, his eyes flashed white and they turned silver. I jerked my head back slightly and noticed that all the other's had silver eyes now. "Trespassers," they growled in unison, baring their teeth. "Run," Topaz pushed me and I leapt over the cat next to me. We ran back towards the river.
"They're chasing us," I growled and we ran faster. I heard the running of pawsteps behind me. They sounded as fast as mine. I yowled when I felt claws slash through my back leg, but I kept running. "Swift," I heard Rat yowl and I looked across the river. The group was there panting heavily. Suddenly, cats came out from all sides. One of them snarled loudly, it was as loud as a screech. Each of them had plain, silver eyes.
Topaz and I barely made it in time to leap across. I landed and fell onto my side; Rat helped me from falling into the river. I panted heavily and stared across at the cats. They paced along the river's edge, lashing their tails wildly. Each of them stopped and stared blankly at us. I narrowed my eyes and saw their eyes flash white again. Their eyes returned to their normal color.
One of them closest to the edge flicked her ear and turned around, walking back. The other's followed quickly at the same speed. "Who were they," Nimble said shakily. I shook my head slightly and stood up. "You were attacked," Briar said and looked at my leg. I looked at the wound. It began to sting harshly and I gritted my teeth to keep myself from yowling in pain.
"Let's go, we need to tell everyone," I simply said and we all began running.
Who… or what… were they?
…
On the night where the moon shines a blinding silver hue, curse will fight against curse until one remains.

A/N: WHAT! A cliff-hanger as an epilogue?! Have I gone insane? Maybe XD. Jk.
BUT, you know what this means right… right?
*Sigh* guess I gotta tell you… Mismatched Curse will, I repeat, will have a sequel! I don't know when it'll come out, but it will be called: A Silver Curse. Isn't that awesome!
Anyways, ya, that was the surprise. There will be a sequel, in the future, for Mismatched Curse. This story was just too good to let go so *BAM* there's gonna be a sequel.
I will like to thank each and every one of you who reviewed, followed, added this story as a favorite, or just simply read it.

You guys were so patient with me when I didn't upload normally and I am also grateful for that. YOU DA BEST! I love each and every one of you and I wish the best for you. This is the second story that I have completed and that will get a sequel. P.S: I wasn't planning on making a sequel but decided that I love this story way too much.
