Hi guys! This is my first SparkClan challenge! The challenge is to write a murder in any POV you want! Here it is:
At the Sound of a Silent Splash
As the night starts to end, I sigh as I walk out of camp with a small black-and-white kit trailing behind me. He did not know what I am about to do to him. Even if this is all against my will, my life is worth more than this little kit's. I cannot help, but feel guilt though. He would never be a warrior or the leader that he dreams to be.
"Aspentail, where are we going? Are you going to show me the territory?! I hope you're my mentor when I become an apprentice," the tom-kit chirps.
"Yes, Flintkit, I'm showing you the territory. I'm going to show the beech copse first." I mew flatly.
The little tom's ivy green eyes shine with excitement. Guilt engulfs me completely. Why did I have to kill the poor kit? Couldn't Rockclaw kill him himself? I sigh again. Rockclaw, the evil deputy of RiverClan, is my brother. Our sister, Mistnose, fell in love with a WindClan warrior and bore him one kit, Flintkit. Mistnose did not receive any punishment except her mate was banished from WindClan and joined RiverClan. Rockclaw is very angered by this. He planned his revenge and is using me. He threatened to kill me if I did not do it. I do not want to hurt Mistnose and Flintkit, but my life is on the line.
"Are you alright, Aspentail? You seem a little distracted." he mews quietly.
"I'm fine, Flintkit. And, look! We're at the beech copse." I mew with a little enthusiasm.
"Wow! It's so big! I can't wait to train here as an apprentice!" Flintkit mews in awe.
I give a small purr. I look up at the sky. Dawn is about to breaking. Mistnose would discover her only kit was missing. "We need to hurry up if you want to see the gorge! I'm going to carry you by the scruff because we need to be back at camp a little after the sun rises."
Flintkit lets out of a few mews of protest, but he agrees eventually to let me carry him by his scruff. I dash through RiverClan territory with Flintkit swinging in my jaws. Determination shines in his green eyes. He likes me. He wants me to be his mentor. He would be my first apprentice. Rockclaw, why are you making me do this?
Dawn's gentle light brushes my pelt now. I hear the gorge roaring as loud as a lion. Flintkit squeaks in glee. This is what he was waiting for. The thundering gorge is now in sight. "Can you put me down?" Flintkit asks politely.
I mew," sorry, no kits should be walking around the gorge. You could fall in!"
"Ok..." the little kit sighs.
I walk over to the gorge by the falls with Flinkit in my jaws. I look down. The water must be bone-chilling judging by the cold spray of the rushing water. Flinkit shivers slightly as the mist hits him.
He mews, "I'm ready to go home, Aspentail. Mistnose might have wondered where I've gone."
"We'll get you back to Mistnose soon. Just give me a moment." I mew.
I feel like I have a piece of crowfood stuck in my throat. I feel completely terrible. This was it. The dawn patrol would near here soon. I trot closer to the falls so that Flinkit is hanging over. He seems not to notice yet what is going on. My teeth clench and I let go.
Nothing fills my mouth. Flintkit does not even let out a wail, but I see something in his green eyes as he falls. His ivy green eyes were once filled with trust, excitement, and determination, yet now the trust is gone and replaced by disappointment. The black and white body hits the water at the sound of a silent splash. I cannot let him die. I cannot be a murderer.
I leap into the churning white water and quickly grab the struggling Flintkit. I try my hardest to paddle away from the falls, but my highly skilled swimming and effort is not enough.
Flintkit and I tumble over the falls. Our splash was not heard. Many would say I murdered Flintkit if they did not my side of the story, yet Rockclaw is at fault here. He is the reason why our silent splash went unheard. He took the dawn patrol away from the gorge when I jumped. Rockclaw now has his first two victims; his killing streak has just begun. He needs to be stopped.
