Twilight yawned slightly, her light crystal eyes opening. The young, lithe she-cat glanced around at the other cats. IT was slightly funny, but out of the 9 cats to be killed, she was the only one with crystal blue eyes. The young she-cat quietly swept those eyes around ones more, then padded out the cold, large hole in the brick wall, standing on the ledge over looking her gang. The alleyway was teaming with amber-eyes cats. The young she-cat sighed. She'd better enjoy life while it lasted. The sunlight on her face for the last time, the feel of the comforting bricks under her dark gray pads. Her wistful state of mind suddenly transformed into an angry one. How dare they do this to them! How dare the Crimson Souls gang try to kill one of their best cats! They treated her like a piece of foxdung, unimportant, a gross thing to be thrown away. That was just what they were doing, right? Throwing her away. Her eyes narrowed with anger, catching the amber eyes of a cat, which quickly turned away, not wanting to catch the supposedly "evil" blue-eyed cats gaze.
Suddenly, a tap came on her shoulder. Twilight whirled around, fur prickling and claws unsheathed. But it was just Aspen. The brown tabby tom looked worried as he flicked his tail on her spine,
"Calm down Twi," Twilight smiled lightly at her old friend, and he gave a smile back, his trademark amber eyes twinkling. The female of the two felt Aspen intertwining their tails, a small smile creeping up on her lovely face. The young gray she-cat pressed her muzzle to her friends, a soft purr escaping her. He echoed the sound in his deeper voice.
"So, ready for the ceremony tomorrow morning?" Aspen asked, a hint of sympathy in his voice, licking her muzzle gently. Twilight shook her pretty head.
"No." she admitted. Aspen sighed gently
"I wish I could stop it..." he murmured.
Suddenly, Twilights crystal eyes widened and sparkled.
"That's it!" she exclaimed softly, smiling widely at Aspen, the revelation bursting open like a flower in the sudden Greenleaf sun.. Aspen tipped his head to the side, not understanding...
"Aspen, I have a plan. But I'm going to need your help."
