Prologue
A ginger she-cat coughed as she trudged on forward into a heavily wooded forest. She looked as if there was simply a pelt of fur draped over her bones. Her green eyes were dull and teary with exhaustion.
Behind the she-cat were three small kittens. Two, a black one and a ginger one, seemed to be bigger than the third, a silvery gray one. They looked just as ragged as their mother.
"Why do we have to take such a long walk?" The ginger kitten complained. The she-cat glanced down at her and then pulled her close. "I'm sorry, Flamekit. I promise that we will never do this again. We just have to make it to another place."
"But I'm tired," the kit continued. "If we're going to walk, can't we at least take a break?"
The she-cat glanced behind her. "We're almost there, I promise. You can rest as much as you want there." No telling when she'll catch up, she thought worriedly.
The black kitten moaned. "You always say we're about to get there soon! We've been walking for an entire day now."
The grey kit sighed suddenly and toppled over. The she-cat's eyes widened and she rushed over. "Oh, what happened?"
"I'm so hungry," the kitten mewed weakly. "Can we eat something?"
The mother scooped her up into her jaws and went forward. "Soon," she mumbled.
"Hehehehehe."
The she-cat whirled around, eyes wide. That voice was too familiar... "Run!" she hissed at her two kits that were still on the ground. Seeing them stumble forward slowly made a bubble of urgency swell up inside of her. The she-cat grabbed the two and dashed forwards.
Not caring that she made a ruckus, the cat dashed as fast as possible through the trees. Her muscles ached even more, but she urged herself to keep going, for the safety of her kits...
POW. The she-cat felt a jolt of alarm as she was slammed back. She curled up around her kittens, taking the damage herself. When she'd settled, she opened her eyes and looked around, fearful. The she-cat then growled and crouched down. She'd spotted a familiar face...
The creamy white she-cat standing a few paces away had a wild grin on her face. "The ruckus you made running was so loud, I could hear you from another world! I suppose the rest of the patrol will be coming soon-give me your kits."
The ginger she-cat snorted. "Yeah, Creamfur, like I would!" The three kittens in her jaws began trembling slightly.
Creamfur narrowed her amber eyes. "Then give me the ginger one. She is rightfully mine."
The ginger she-cat snarled. "How is she yours? I gave birth to her and named her. She is my kit."
The other she-cat laughed. "Redspark, she's the daughter of my mate. She doesn't deserve a low-blooded mother like you! At least I have the blood of a leader's inside me!"
Redspark puffed her chest out, some light coming to her eyes. "It doesn't matter what your blood is. What matters is the things you say and the actions you do."
"I'm not here for chit-chat!" Creamfur meowed shrilly. "If you won't give my kit over, I'll take it by force!" The she-cat leapt at Redspark, claws unsheathed.
Flamekit was immediately snatched away. The black tom-kit snarled and grabbed onto his sister's tail. Creamfur easily pulled the kit away, and she laughed. "Brave little kit, do you want to come with me too?" She lunged for him.
Redspark dropped her kits onto the ground and barreled headfirst into Creamfur's belly. She snatched Flamekit back as she flew wailing through the air. Creamfur roared angrily and jumped back onto her paws and sank her teeth into Redspark's neck. Flamekit fell onto the ground, and her siblings rushed over to drag her into the shadows and away from the fighting she-cats.
No matter how much Redspark shook, Creamfur wouldn't let go. She finally thrusted out her hind legs and knocked Creamfur away.
The creamy she-cat rose up angrily. "Think you still stand a chance against me?" she sneered. "I know that I have made a fatal wound-if you don't die now, you'll die later."
Redspark was hunched on the ground, blood slowly leaking out of her throat. "Never," she rasped, lifting her head up slowly, "Try to threaten my kits!" With a snarl, she pounced, claws unsheathed, at Creamfur. The she-cat managed to dodge it, though she got a nasty scratch on her shoulder.
They leapt at each other, and when the spitting tornado of fur finally calmed, Redspark was on the ground, bleeding, and Creamfur was on her paws, panting.
"Redspark, never try to take my kits away from me!" she gasped, them limped over to the three terrified kittens. Redspark groaned as she lifted her head.
"She's...not yours..."
Creamfur laughed. "Yes she is. And I will take her back and tell the clan that you and your other two kits are dead." She spat out the word bitterly. "You'll be gone from this world in a few moments. And so will they." Picking up a squealing Flamekit, Creamfur kicked the grey kit and the black kit into a large fox den. They lay limp, seemingly knocked out."
"Lemme go! Lemme go! Lemme-uhn." Flamekit got a blow to the head, and she passed out, limp. Creamfur looked over at Redspark, who was trying to get up, and snorted. "Give it up. I've got Flamekit already. Bye-bye, Redspark." The she-cat vanished as she leapt away into the forest.
Redspark knew there was no hope left. She sighed and lifted her head to the starless night sky. Maybe MistyClan heard the battle and could come over to save her kits. They couldn't die. They just couldn't.
The world was fading. As her eyes began to close, Redspark sent one last plea to her kits.
Please, please live.
