Hey everyone! I'm starting up new story! Yay! (Please don't kill me.) Anyway, I hope you enjoy this!

Prologue

Rain's POV

"Hey! Stop Coal. Coal,!" My mother scolded my brother.

The pure black tom glanced back at mother with his grayish blue sheepishly. "Sorry...?"

Mother sighed before licking the top of my head. "Come here, Coal." Coal scrambled over and mother started to groom his fur.

"Rain! Play with me!" My brother nudged me.

"Go away..." I groaned, pushing him away.

"Please!" Coal begged. "Please, please, please, please, please!"

"Fine." I rose to my paws, eyes drooping. I shook out my silver fur.

"Yeah!" Coal exclaimed excitedly.

"Calm down, Coal. Rain needs her sleep." Mother scolded him and picked him up by his scruff.

"Thanks." I signed gratefully.

"No problem, sweetie." Mother smiled weakly at me. My violetish blue eyes lock on her. Mother's silver fur always seems to stand out against the bark of the tall tree we live in. 'We live in a hollowed out tree... and no, Coal. A eagle didn't live here.' I smile slightly remembering the memory.

Coal crept up behind me and whispered in my ear. "Can we play?"

I jump and turn to him. "No!"

"But you're not sleeping!" Coal pointed out. I open my mouth to respond before we head a voice outside.

"Minnow... I know you're there... come out, come out..." The voice seemed to taunt. Who's Minnow? Mother froze and turned to the voice.

"Who's Minnow, Mother?" Coal asked and Mother seemed to snap out of... whatever she was in.

"I'm Minnow." She curried around us and licked our heads before hiding us. "No matter what happens, stick together. Don't come out of here until it's safe and don't, ever, try to find me."

"But-" I started, trembling.

"No, Rain. No buts." Mother rested her tail on my muzzle for a heartbeat and rated it on Coal's shoulder. "And is not funny, Coal." Coal blinked. I could almost see the thoughts, we'll, thought, in his head: How did you know I was gonna laugh?

"Don't make me come find you!" The voice warned. Mother licked are heads again.

"Remember what I said." Mother looked almost to tears. "I love you both, very, very, much."

"Last warning!" The voice sounded closer. Mother licked are heads one last time and left the den.

"Look at this!" Coal exclaimed quietly, peaking out of a hole in the bark. I peak out of it.

"There you are!" A muscular Tom exclaimed. I examined his body from a distance. His pelt was light gray with long, darker gray upside-down triangle under both of his sharp, golden eyes. I caught a glimpse if his tail, which looked like the tip was dipped in some dark gray- I don't know the word for it.

"What do you want, Fang?" Mother glared at him as he circled her.

Fang's POV

"What do you want, Fang?" Minnow spats.

"You know what I want." I smirk at her, circling around her. She's very pretty, clever, determined... would have made a good mate. But that was in the past. She chose Crow over me, saying: He'll actually treat me as a equal! Ha! He died about five moons ago and left her all alone. Poor, poor her.

She instantly looked weak and stressed. "Please... just give me more time."

"I've given you enough time, Minnow." I growl and take out my claws, which I dipped in blood just for the occasion.

"Please, Fang... give me more time and I'll-" Minnow stammered. Mouse-brained She-cat.

"You'll what? Try again? What if you fail? Would you try again?" I mocked, smirking. "Well, my patience has ran out. It's your time to pay."

Minnow's sea-blue eyes widened, making me smirk wider. "Please..."

I tackled her, pinning her down. "Any last words?"

"I always loved Crow more than I ever loved-" Minnow mewed steadily, eyes narrowed.

I cut her off and dug my claws into her side. "Time's up." I clawed my way up to her throat. She fell limp, blood streaming from her neck and sides.

Coal's POV

I blinked. What happened? What's that red stuff on Mother? Who's the Tom? I glanced over to my sister, who had tears running down her face. "What just happened, Rain?"

"He killed Mother..." Rain whispered, turning to me, looking fearful and sad.

"What do you mean? Mother can't- isn't - dead!" I whispered, feeling doubtful of my words.

"Don't you get it!? We're alone! Mother hasn't even taught us to hunt yet!" Rain cried out and turned away from me, tears filling her eyes.

"But-" I started as Rain climbed out of the hole, which was covered by a nest. I stated to follow her.

"Let's just get some sleep and plan in the morning." Rain mewed sadly and curled into a ball, drifting of to sleep.

I hope you liked it! I may or may not continue the story and updates will (sadly) be slowish. I'm open to ideas! Also, I need some OCs for *sensor*. Just make sure thier not the nicest. Thanks!
