Sorry if I don't finish this or even work on it for a really long time...I tend to be like that. Hope you enjoy this incredibly short first chapter!
Two cats purred in the moonlit clearing, curled up text to one another they spoke in secretive whispers. The she-cats fur was a pale golden color, her soft, gentle eyes showed nothing but love, "Oh Stonepath, my love." The she-cat murmured into Stonepath's ear. "But you know cats like us are always discovered," sadness crept into her voice, "I don't know how long we can continue to hide this from the clan." Her blue eyes met his amber ones.
"But Lightpool, my love, you know I would do anything for you, anything at all, why not tell the clan!" Meowed Stonepath, louder now.
"Sh! We need to be quiet, and you know we can't do that, it would tear Ashfang's heart out of he knew," Stonepath was about to interrupt again, but Lightpool continued on, "Let us not speak of such things can we not simply enjoy the time we do have." Lightpool buried her nose into his grey and white fur.
Lightpool has a big heart, thought Stonepath, But not big enough for both me and Ashfang, and I don't plan to be the one removed. Stonepath's amber eyes glowed in the bright moonlight.
"Mommy?" A small voice piped up from the shadows. Lightpool leapt up in shock, her fur standing on end. Stonepath too sprang to his paws, teeth barred in a snarl.
"Lightpool, you let your kit follow you here!" Stonepath growled.
"H-Hollowkit! Why are you out of the den!"Lightpool meowed, clearly anxious and flustered by the sudden appearance of her son.
Hollowkit's golden eyes glared accusingly at his mother, "I would like to ask you the same question! What are you doing with him, he certainly is not my father!" Stonepath's claws slid out, unnoticed by Lighpool, he began to tense his muscles, preparing to spring.
Lightpool tipped her head down at her little kit, his eyes were so much like his fathers, she thought absentmindedly. Ashfang, her mate, she was betraying him by being with Stonepath tonight, all of these nights. Suddenly Stonepath launched himself at Hollowkit, claws extended, he pined the kit to the ground. Lightpool stood, frozen with horror as Stonepath prepared to kill her oldest son. Lightpool soared over in one massive leap and collided with Stonepath, her claws ripping across his face. In response to her attack Stonepath slashed out at her, his claws tearing through her neck, Lightpool collapsed on the ground, blood dripped from the corner of her mouth, tears of confusion and pain swirled in her bright eyes.
"Lightpool!" screamed Stonepath, he stumbled over to her and, trembling like a leaf, he knelt down next to her, "Stay with me, love, stay with me!"
Lightpool's jaws parted and she began to speak, softly, "I can not allow you to harm my kit!" With the last of her energy she lunged up and sank her teeth into his exposed neck. His death scream filled the forest. The two cats lay dead, their blood forming a pool on the forest floor.
Hollowkit's golden eyes were wide with horror, tears left tracks down his face, he lay down and put his paws over his head, his small, trembling black and gray form nearly invisible in the shadows. "Mom..." Hollowkit groaned.
Two cats watched from the trees, starlight glittering in their fur, one of them sighed as he looked down at the kit, "Froststar, was this really necessary?" He looked at his companion, "To put the kit through this? He is so young."
"Yes, there is no other way, we must make sure Hollowkit never reaches his potential, what he could do then, well, even I prefer never to find out." Froststar glanced at the cat perched next to her, "Completely unavoidable."
