Choosing the Animal
The black cat slinked though the grass, blending in with the night. The night stars shone above, forcing the cat to move near the trees, the shadows lacing over their pelt. As the cat moved, her claws were out. While she tried to keep her body covered, she allowed the moonlight to glint over her lethal weapons. No creature would've been able to see it, but a disturbing smile was stretched across the cats face.
She gazed out into the clearing, her blood red eyes flickering with every movement. The sound of voices traveled to her ears, filling them with laughter. She snarled, disgusted by the cat's happiness. Soon though, the two had traveled into the moonlit clearing, completely unaware of the threat lurking in the bushes. One of them was a she-cat. She had a silver tabby pelt, the fur long and smooth. Her eyes were a pale green, contrasting with the dark leaves of the forest. The other was a ginger tom. His fur was short, and the black she-cat could see the muscles ripping under his pelt through the bushes. He had dark blue eyes, almost as dark as the night they hid in.
The black she-cat smiled, gently padding away from the couple.
The ginger tom threw his head back in laughter, his eyes screwed shut to stop tears from falling as he gasped for breath. The silver she cat looked at him, a red blush gracing her cheeks. Once he was able to get ahold of himself, her turned towards the she-cat. Green met blue as their eyes locked. Though you couldn't see it because of his ginger pelt, a light blush has formed on top of his cheeks. The she-cat's silver fur shone in the moonlight, and her green eyes were glowing.
"I.. I think I love you."
He murmured, ducking his head in embarrassment. He waited for a reply, but never received one. He glanced upwards to see a look of horror on the she-cat's face. Then she fell forwards, a slit cut through her neck. He gasped in shock as a pool of blood flowed from the wound, staining the green grass red.
The tom whirled around to see a black cat lunge at him. He was barely able to escape, scrambling to find his balance. His blue eyes were able to land on his target before she struck again. He was strong, but she was fast. He tried his best to defend himself, but she would sneak in and rake her claws across his flank, digging through the skin. He yowled in pain, fighting the she-cat off. The two fought for a long time until the tom couldn't continue. He had claw marks running up and down his flank, making every moment extremely painful. Every breath he took was full of agony. He crumbled to the ground, praying for Starclan to make this death quick. He felt a shadow block out the shine of the moon. A swipe like acid flew down his stomach, more painful than anything he had ever felt. He felt his insides tumble out of him, and he was barely able to utter his next words.
"You... You monster!"
He cried out, though they had no effect on the attacker. Soon the pain numbed, and his world descended into black.
The she-cat watched as the toms organs spilled from his body, littering the ground in a bloody mess. His eyes dulled and she turned away, no longer interested in this specimen. She slinked back into the shadows, leaving the two dead bodies in full view. As she made her way through the shadows, she smiled.
Monster. Yes, I like that.
