Hushpad hunted, the she-cat crouched in front of a mouse. She pounced, and caught the mouse. "Yes!" she purred.

She sensed something behind her, and looked. "Oh my... Meerclar! Help!" she squealed.

It was a cat-badger thing with red claws. It stared into her soul, making her freeze in fear. The thing picked her up, and knocked her out.

Hushpad woke up, in some sort of cage. It was shiny, and cold. She shivered. This creature had brought her to a place she didn't like. "Do you know what - or who - I am?" a voice asked.

It was deep, and gravelly. Hushpad looked up. It was the same thing. "No," she growled, standing up for herself.

"Feisty. Just how I like 'em," the creature laughed.

"Why don't you just tell me, and I can know?" Hushpad snarled.

It stopped laughing abruptly. "Why should I tell you? If you manage to make it back alive, fat chance, you could tell everyone. I'm not risking it."

Hushpad's claws came out. She snarled, getting ready to attack the cage if she had to. The creature took her out. "Do you know what I do with cats like you?" it whispered.

"Let them kill you?" she guessed.

"No, I kill them."

He took Hushpad out of the cage. Hushpad got into an attack pose, but she knew she didn't stand a chance. The creature bit down on her paw, and with his savage teeth, ripped it off. Hushpad cried out in pain. "Rethinking now, huh?" the creature taunted.

Hushpad breathed heavily. Blood spattered everywhere. "I torture cats before I kill them," snarled the creature.

"TAILCHASER, HELP!" Hushpad yowled.

The creature ripped it's claws into Hushpad's back, leaving a deep gash. The dismantled she fell to the ground. A claw sliced her throat, and it was all over.

Tailchaser was woken up as he was taken into the cage. He squirmed and wriggled, but stopped when he saw something. It was a dead and dismantled Hushpad, eyes staring blankly at him. "NO!" he cried out.

A/N: I know this is not canon, but I just wanted to write an AU.
