Here is my first entry in my Book Of Challenges! This is one for the forum Children Of Shadows! It is called Take Me Away. I hope you like it! (And I hope it makes you cry!)

Take Me Away

Briarkit woke up from a small paw prodding her. She opened her green eyes and saw her sister, Cloudkit, poking her with her white paw. Cloudkit's sky blue eyes were filled with playfulness. Right next to her was her younger brother, Wolfkit. He had his normal small smile on, and his bright green eyes, which were naturally serious looking. You could see a bit of a sparkle of happiness in his eyes.

"Come on, Briarkit! I wanna play outside!" Cloudkit complained. Briarkit rolled her eyes and slowly got up. She stretched out her legs and paws, then bounded over to the other litter of kits, Darkstorm's litter. There were two kits in that litter. One was named Sunkit. He had a golden tabby pelt, and narrowed amber eyes. He had a cruel personality that Briarkit hated, but everyone else seemed to admired. Dawnkit was just like her brother, except she had a bright ginger tabby pelt. She might be even crueler then her brother.

"You want to play with us?" Briarkit asked them.

They both snorted at the same time. "Why would we want to play with you?" Briarkit looked at them with confusion, then with anger.

"Your piece of Fox-dung! I never did anything to you!" She lept onto Sunkit, growling.

"You are you, thats what you did wrong. Now, for calling me fox-dung..." He scratched his shoulder, then wailed. "Darkstorm! Briarkit scratched me!"

Darkstorm marched over there, and looked at Sunkit. She found his scratch, and then growled at Briarkit.

"You stupid piece of fox-dung! You hurt my kit! You can't hurt my kit!' She lept at Briarkit.

Wolfkit and Cloudkit noticed and lept at Darkstorm. Darkstorm shook them off quickly. She yelled at all the kits to leave the nursery. They nodded without hesitation.

Darkstorm clawed and clawed at Briarkit. Briarkit yowled loudly. She could feel blood leaking out of her body. Her vision started to go blurry.

Darkstorm narrowed her eyes. "Thats what you get for hurting my kit."

"I... Didn't..." She gasped.

"Excuses, excuses..." Darkstorm licked off her paws, then padded out.

She gasped for air, and took one final breath.


No one ended up remembering Briarkit after Cloudkit and Wolfkit got their apprentice names. Only Darkstorm remembered, and she never felt guilty once.

Briarkit swore her revenge on that horrible Clan... Her revenge was coming, and Sunclaw was going to be the first victim...
