Okay this is my first story, please go easy on me.
"Catch me if you can, Blue!" Lilac yowled as she raced around the meadow. "Fine, you are way too easy to get anyway," Blue said as he ran after her. By now, Blue, Lilac, and Rose were now the size of Holly and Green. Their parents were always forgetting that they weren't kits anymore. "Dad, you're too slow," Rose giggled, as she quickly slid under Green's belly. "No, you're just too fast." Green was slightly panting as he tried to land a hit. He paused and looked around the meadow. "Has anyone seen Holly?" Green asked. He looked at his children, his eyes held a slight spark of hope, which vanished as all three shook their heads. He sighed and sat down.
Along the two-leg path, Holly walked as monsters raced by. The smell that came off of them was rancid. She looked down an alley, and had finally made it to her destination. Bloodclan had been hurting her friend, Red. Holly padded down the alley, her paws lightly hitting the ground. As she came closer, she noticed that there were two cats sitting beside an opening in a tall fence. Holly guessed that the two cats were supposed to be guards. They instantly saw her pure white pelt against the dark background. She took a step back as the two of them began to come over. Holly glanced behind her, but that seemed to make their pace increase speed. They halted when they were about a tail's length away and asked, "Why are you here?" The smaller of the two hissed, and both cats' claws slid out. "I came to speak with the leader of Bloodclan," Holly said, trying to sound as confident as she could. She could feel her voice shaking with every word. "No one sees Scourge uninvited," the bigger one let a growl rumble in his throat as he took a step forward. "Bone, that's enough!" commanded a small cat, shoving Bone aside. This cat was about the size of Green. He had ice blue eyes that sucked you in as soon as they made contact. "Yes, Scourge," Bone replied submissively, dipping his head in respect.
"What do you want?" There was an edge to Scourge's voice as he spoke to Holly. She swallowed as Scourge sat there licking his claws, that were reinforced with dog claws and teeth. Summoning all the courage she could muster, she replied, "I heard that you've been hurting my friend." Yet again, her voice shook. Scourge`s gaze never seemed to leave her, and that scared her. "Have you ever heard of me?" There was a slight glint in his eyes as he flicked his tail. The two cats on either side of him moved closer to her. Holly took a step back as something about this cat made her wary. "I see, you must live in the forest. I guess the rumors about me haven't spread that far yet. Don't worry, these two always do the best job of explaining." Scourge padded back through the opening in the fence, out of sight.
The two cats' claws gleamed as they came even closer to her. She crouched down and let out a fierce hiss, as they both swiped at her. The larger cat's swipe missed, but the smaller one's left a deep gash on her leg. Holly swiped at them, keeping her claws sheathed. The larger one swiped again, sinking his claws into her flank. She glanced at her side, seeing a long deep gash. As the smell of the blood hit her nose, it was nauseating. Holly turned her head back to the two cats, but she was too late. They swiped again. Now blood was trickling from her right ear into her eye. The blood was thick and dark red, making her vision blurry. Holly regained her composure and escaped down the alley back toward the safety of the forest.
When Holly came padding through the bushes, Green had just been talking to the kids about finding her. He saw that Holly was limping and bleeding heavily from a gash on her side. All four of them raced to her, and Green and Blue helped support her as they padded across the meadow into the bushes toward their den. Rose and Lilac followed close behind. Green and Blue carefully laid her down in a nest, and she closed her eyes. She was conscious, but only barely. Rose and Lilac gently began to lick the blood off her pelt. It tasted of lead. Holly winced as their tongues passed over her wounds. It felt as if fire was licking her flesh. The voices around her became muffled as she fell into an unsteady sleep.
"Is it done?" Scourge asked as he raised his head, seeing the cat pad up to him. Scourge sat up. The tom nodded his head. Scourge flicked his ear, and the tom padded away. He laid back down and looked straight ahead of him. Her pure white pelt was embedded in his mind. Scourge sighed and let his eyes close.
Lilac looked down at her mom, a spark of fear in her eyes. "Will she be ok?" Green whispered, "I sure hope so." as he lay down next to Holly. She twitched once in awhile. Blue and Rose emerged from the bushes, carrying pieces of moss soaked in water. Rose carefully placed her's on Holly's wounds. Blue put his on the ground next to the edge of the nest. They all noticed Holly wince as the water seeped into her fur, into her wounds. Green got up, careful not to disturb Holly, and padded in front of the others. His tail was lashing as he spun around to face them. "Blue, Rose, come with me. Lilac, I would like you to stay and watch Holly for me." Green licked Lilac's cheek, and Lilac nodded her head and lay down next to Holly. Green, Rose, and Blue padded into the forest, swallowing up in the thick of the surrounding bushes.
