"I'm sorry, but I still don't understand," Alden said staring at the damp earth beneath his paws. The she-cats had tensed up remembering the horrid past of these kits.
"The silver she-kit's name was Silentkit. Silentkit has no vocal chords in her body. One day foxes attacked our camp. A fox cornered her, and she couldn't scream for help," Hazelpool explained.
"She was our friend when we were younger," Added Talonwing, her golden amber eyes turning huge with memory.
It was a humid day and everything seemed normal. Then came snarling of something I heard momma talking about. They were called foxes. Momma and momma's friend moved the youngest kits, Hazelkit, Darkkit, Talonkit, and Warkit out first. Then it was my turn. I ran out the entrance and red foxes were everywhere!
I ran seeing the golden body of Hazelkit and hearing Talonkit's frightened mew. It was my job to calm them down, so I raced over to the noise. Before I got there, a young dog fox was staring at me hungrily. I couldn't scream, for I couldn't talk. And the foxes' jaws clamped around my neck, and with a snap I was dead.
Back to the present
"The boldest hazel kit was Warkit. She was the bravest fluff ball ever. She went off on an adventure one day, and was brutally slaughtered by Alleyclan," Talonwing described. She remembered the day Kestreltail and Grapevine had come back carrying the mutilated body of Warkit.
"She was our sister, and she was always getting into trouble!" Hazelpool sighed in the lost memories.
Everything was really boring that day. It was the normal boring nursery and the constant hushing of the queens. Silentkit wasn't there to play with me and my sisters and my brother were still fast asleep. My mother was with dad stretching her legs. And I was the only cat awake in there!
I decided to go have an adventure of my own! So I ran out of camp and chased butterflies and rabbits. It seemed like a perfect day to be outside. Then the soft ground turned hard and I was in a dark alley. Alleyclan. They weren't the nicest of cats. A dark grey tabby loomed over me, but I was brave so I would hide my fear.
However being brave wasn't worth it. I still "paid the price", as the Alleyclan cat put it. I thought that meant hunting for them. As I was about to walk off in relief the tom yanked my leg off and I hissed in pain. Then he killed me and blood was everywhere. I was wondering if my body would ever be brought back.
Back to the present
"That's their story," Hazelpool and Talonwing said together and Alden looked horrified.
"We'd better go," Talonwing said. Alden nodded and ran disappearing near the bushes. And the sun shined brighter. Somewhere in Starclan two kits smiled side by side glad that the truth was still being told.
