Dull light dappled the forest floor, small strands of grass squirmed in the weakest winds. A small, dark grey tabby she-cat slithered from a tunnel at the base of a grey maple tree with gnarled roots.
"Mapleclaw, this is something you'd like to see." She whispered, beckoning a tortoiseshell she-cat out of the tunnel.
The two padded until they met an old pine tree, the grey she-cat lead her through a wall of ferns, and slithered under a line of bushes. Mapleclaw's eyes lit up in amazement, then she relax, took a seat and smirked.
A small, dark, black cloud of dust was entangled with a sparkling white one, until the darker cloud faded into nearby shrubs.
"Light and Dark with entangle, ripping through the forest like a wildfire, but beware it's not always the light you should follow."
"Ow! Get off Icekit!"
It was a crisp, leaf-fall morning, Shadekit and his older sister were having a play quarrel, until he felt sharp objects digging into his buff shoulders. "Please!" He sobbed, auburn eyes brimming with tears.
"Wimp!" She cackling, jerringly. She stepped off of him, her eyes sparkling with pride. "You may seem buff, you evil-rat, but your as soft as a rabbit." She snorted, flouncing off to the nursery.
Pain soared through his joints as he stood, beads of blood rolled down his arms, and dripped small crimson drops onto the hard-baked earth.
Why was she so mean? What did he do wrong?
Sighing, he shuffled to the nursery, still heavily bleeding.
Once he was in the mouth of the den, he could see Icekit's sobbing shape through the ivy tendrils. She was bleeding heavily on her back, and the tip of her ear was shredded. "Ratkit! Say sorry to your sister, this instant!"
Pausing, her realized he'd been framed. "B-but Frostflower-" His mother was furious as she licked her sister's small, trembling shape. "No buts' you rat!" She hissed through gritted teeth.
Sobbing quietly, she made his way inside. "Mommy, she attacked me first." He rasped, looking at his mother pleadingly. "Liar!" She yowled, causing poor ol' Shadekit to recoil, hard. "But, I'm not lieing!" He cried out indignantly.
"Yes you are!" She yowled, tail lashing. "She told me you were play fighting and she accidentally scratched you, and so you tried to kill her! You're a liar and a murderer." She cried. "Go away." She muttered. Wailing, he bounded out of the nursery. Hadn't anyone witnessed?
No one cared.
