Fear.
Fear is a strange feeling. You feel paralyzed, unable to move. Helpless to fight back.
That is what everyone is experiencing ever since the dreadful night these kits, my kits, had been born.
We have been fearing sleep since these horrific dreams have been wearing down our hearts full of bravery, and we have been seeing things that should never have been.
I would secretly hate them for what they have been saying about my kit. She's a monster. She will destroy us all.
But now, I can understand why they would believe those things.
But now, I understand because I have witnessed what they have seen.
A wiry built cat, with a slim, frail body. The body similar of Ashflame's. But instead, the fur is thin and a pale, light blue-grey, the shade of the sky when ghost-like, unforgiving clouds smother it. The stripes remind me of dark shadows, the way they rippled over the cat's fur like a river's current or the way the tree branches swirl around, casting shadows. Her tail was long and plumy, delicate, even.
Her eyes were full of malice, bloodthirst and desperation.. I recognise that splash of colour against her rather pale background. Her eyes are mine, with the signature slanted look of Ashflame's beautiful green eyes, but the colour of the sky on a Greenleaf. My eyes.
She was beautiful. Not dazzling and too attractive, but beautiful in a way that signifies strength. That frail aura she holds is a lie. A deceiver.
Her eyes aren't the only thing that disturbed me.
Her paws were stained with scarlet blood. So stained you can't even see the rippling stripes underneath. She displayed many slashes that cats would deem impossible to survive for long with. Pain displayed in her eyes, but I knew it wasn't the wounds. It was the pain of heartbreak, regret. Guilt, and bloodlust.
Around her, bodies of cats I had loved appeared. They were mangled nearly beyond recognition. Stained with crimson, a strange colour.
This cat had killed them all. She had murdered my family. My friends.
When I woke up, I felt exhausted and horrified. That cat will destroy the Clans. And I will stop her, no matter what.
