Young Lives

This is a challenge for we go!

4 small cats giggled excitedly as they headed out of their peaceful quiet camp.

"Shhh!"Whispered Stormkit quietly "The warriors will hear us."

"They can't hear a 're too busy dreaming"Exclaimed Flamekit .Snoring filled the clearing and all the kits laughed seeing that Flamekit was right.

"I still don't think we should do this."Frostkit mewed slightly frightened by what the kits were planning to do.

"It will be fine!We're only going for a bit."Sandkit meowed desperately wanted to go outside camp and see what was in the was the reckless one and always wanted adventure but she was a kit so she hadn't been allowed the kits had thought if the idea to sneak out of camp when the warriors and everyone else was sleeping.

"Be extra quiet then."Frostkit still didn't like the idea one little was the most sensible of the was the one who would listen to what everyone had to would usually keep silent and sit in the corner so it was amazing that the kits managed to get her to come.

The group of kits passed gnarled root of twisted gathered around their paws and noises sounded loudly in the could have he thought the forest was inviting when actually it was a terrifying maze of horror.

Something rustled in the bushes,making the petrified kits clump a shadowy figure stepped out make the group yowl with terror.

"Please don't hurt us!"Frostkit shouted

"I can't promise since you reek of DewClan"Meowed the shadowy kits whimpered and tried to run but the mysterious cat was picked up Frostkit and unsheathed his claws for the kill. The tiny kit wriggled out and tried to scramble away but the figure just pounced and stuck his shiny claw through the kit.

The other kits stared in horror at the crimson blood dripping eyes were wet and shiny with tears as the struggling form of Frostkit went limp and the eyes went dull.

"Now for the rest."The cat said,a smirk on his threw herself at the shape claws grown cat just batted her away with a blink of an eye.3 seconds later,another small mangled form lay on the ground.

Next to go was Flamekit who had bit the cat but to no came hid in the undergrowth hoping that he would be seen but he didn't notice the cat coming up behind him till it was too late.

The next day,things were relatively peaceful in DewClan camp until the dawn patrol came leader of the patrol,Riverclaw,approached the leader,Flightstar."Um Flightstar,um during the patrol we found the bodies of 4 kits that belong in this your kits."He nervously mewed. Flightstar looked shocked and upset."Willowleaf said they were missing but I thought they would be playing somewhere."He said choking down a tried to regain his posture and act like a good leader but shoulders sank and his teary eyes drooped.

"Flightstar we are going to bury the bodies just outside camp..."

"NO!"Flightstar shouted "They may be kits but they deserve a vigil at least."

Riverclaw nodded and scurried away.

As the sun slipped behind the dusky horizon,all the warriors and people who knew the kits gathered around the and Willowleaf sat together,their thin pelts gently knew that even if their kits weren't with them,they would be watching over them in that thought appeared,4 new stars gleamed brightly in Silverpelt.
