They thought she was asleep, but she wasn't. Silence opened her eyes to watch the others run out of their home. A low moaning made her jump, and she looked out of the den. She knew that voice. She coughed a few times, and feebly got to her paws. She leaped into the rain and raced after them. "Guys! Guys wait up!" She yelled. She saw their shillouets in the rain when lightning struck overhead. She wouldn't be able to catch up unless they stopped. She coughed, her body shaking, and tried to run after them.
It was dark, and even when she thought she got closer she couldn't tell. She blindly ran through the rain, calling out her brother and sister's names. Silence tripped on a root, sending her tumbling forward into a bush of soft leaves. "Shh!" Soul's voice made her relax. "What are you doing here?"
"I came to see what you were doing." She said smally. "I heard Shatter yell..." She mewed worriedly, glancing at her siblings. "Why are we here-"
"Shhh!" Snow said, nosing the outside of the bushes. Silence looked up, and the sight shocked her. Shatter was being held down by the large and muscled paw of a cat. Four others surrounded him, and Shatter was on the ground.
"Rouge filth!" One was saying. "Do you never pay attention to a border?" In reply, Shatter let out a small mew of fright. Silence became more afraid; even Shatter was afraid of them. "This'll teach you to come on our territory." He lifted his paw to land a mark on her. Soul jumped out first, and on instinct, Snow and Song followed. Silence remained in the bushes, terror seizing her body. The last time she hid in bushes, she watched her mother and father die before her eyes. She jumped out, into the pouring rain, wanting to berid the memory.
Soul leaped on the one holding down Shatter. Shatter squeezed away from his claws and leaped on him as well. Song and Snow ran towards the other four, and they began to try and fight each one. Silence crumpled, her body frozen, but forced herself to leap forward. She grabbed one cat and tried to claw him. He turned and landed a blow to her shoulder. Wincing, she backed away, falling to the ground. She scrambled to her paws before the tom could land a mark on her. She leaped backwards, into the cat Snow was fighting. Snow felt his weight against her and she fell to the ground. He successfully pinned her, and Silence hissed.
"Sorry!" She yelled to the tom before sinking her claws in his back. She pulled him backwards, just enough for Snow to squeeze out of his grip. He turned, but Silence turned to run. She sped past Shatter and Soul, who were losing to the large tom, and she screamed as a she-cat barreled into her.
The she-cat had her pinned and for a moment they locked eyes. The she-cat froze, her eyes widening. Silence shifted uncomfortably, wondering why the she-cat was studying her.
Suddenly, the she-cat cried out. The others turned and stared at her as if she had gone mad. "Her eyes! Her eyes!" She screamed. The others took a look at Silence, who had scrambled to her paws. Her eyes were studied further, and the cats began to panic. The other cats turned and began to flee, leaving the five siblings speachless.
When they had long gone, her siblings all tuned to look at Silence, who took a moment to cough. She feebly sat down, her heart damp with worry. "What's wrong with my eyes?" She whispered. "Are they the sign of a beast?"
"No, no Silence. Nothing close to a beast. You have our mother's eyes." Shatter tried to calm her, leaning over to groom her. When she remembered she was sick, she backed off. Silence did not take it personally, and watched the direction the cats had run.
"Shatter... do you think they knew our mother?" Soul mewed weakly.
A bit shorter than other chapters, but that's perfectly fine! I'm sorry if there are errors, I wrote it on my IPhone.
Please review, it's what keeps me writing. I'm not so ure about this story actualy, and I want to know if it's good enough to keep writing.
Anyhow, enjoy!
