"Father! Father! Father!" A blueish gray kit ran up to a stone gray tom-cat with lighter gray on his chest, ears, muzzle, paws, and tip of tail. "Wha- What is it!?" Stone turned to the kit, his daughter. "The kits are coming!" The 5 moon old she-kit exclaimed, grabbing Stone's tail and trying to pull him. "Oh!" This was Stone and Ice's second litter, the first litter including the blueish gray she-kit,
Ocean, a stone-gray tom, Smoke, and a Blueish-gray and white splotched she-kit named Sky. Stone quickly got up, and ran to his mate. Immediately he noticed something was wrong. Stone's eyes widened fearfully. "O- Ocean, go tell y- your brother and s-
sister that mom n- needs help, go!" Ocean nodded, and hurried off. By the time Ocean got back, it was too late. Stone had his head laying on his dead mate, crying. Ocean slowly made her way towards him. She turned her head. The kits were dead as well- except for one.
"DAD! One of the kits is alive!" Stone looked up, and glanced at the kit- it was a white she-kit with a gray mask covering it's face all the way down it's back and tail, and had some other gray splotches as well. "Ocean... Take Snowflake and leave her somewhere where she can be taken care of..." Stone meowed,
turning to his kit. "W- What? Dad, you can't abandon her like that!" Ocean stared her father straight in the eye. "I-
It's not that... Ocean, I'm dying.. I should have told you, your siblings, and your mother... but you were all too excited over the kits, and..." Ocean's eyes filled with tears, as she picked up Snowflake, and brought the she-kit closer to her. "Oh father..."
She collapsed on the ground, crying. "Shh, Shh, just take Snowflake somewhere safe, where she will be taken care of."
Stone muttered. "A- At least you'll be w- with mom, i- in Starclan." Ocean muttered, wandering off. They had been some of the few cats outside the clans that believed in Starclan. She took her sister, and took off. On the way to her destination, she was cut off. "Oh no, Bloodclan!" She dropped her sister, and slowly backed up. "Well, a cute little kittypet to play with, and what is this?" The Bloodclan cat glanced at Snowflake. "Leave my sister alone! Don't hurt her! Please!" Ocean begged, as the Bloodclan cat picked up Snowflake. "Kill the older one, I'll deal with this one." The Bloodclan cat hissed, leaving the other one to deal with Ocean. "You can do anything you want to me, but please! I beg you! Don't hurt Snowflake!" Ocean screamed at the Bloodclan cat, a tear going down her face, as the Bloodclan Tom padded off with her sister, leaving the she-cat to do whatever she wanted to her. She started to cry as she felt a stinging pain across her side, as claws raked across it. She collapsed onto the ground,
looking up at the Bloodclan cat. The Bloodclan cat slashed her again,
more brutally, and everything went black.
(Snowflake's POV Third Person)
Snowflake squealed in protest as she felt herself being carried, somewhere. Where she had no idea, as she was only a few hours old, and didn't yet have her eyes open. She couldn't smell her sister anymore, which made her squeal even louder. She let out a sharp squeal, as she was dropped down onto the ground. "What should we do with her?" A voice said, rather cruelly. "Well... Bloodclan needs more members, and one of the Queens recently lost a kit.. maybe we should keep her." Came a cruel sounding female voice. "Okay then..." She felt herself being lifted again, and then put down. She could smell a she-cat, and automatically assumed it was her mother, because she had never really gotten her mother's scent, as her mother had died right after she was born. She made her way closer, and started to nurse.
