Alright, here's what you've been waiting for! :3 Hope you enjoy!

I've decided to trash the "I need blablabla reviews to continue" idea. If I want to post more story, I'm going to post more story.


"Rhine found a kit in the woods today. She carried him all the way here." Silk reported to her gathered pack. I lashed my tail angrily. I had brought Dusk here. And he wasn't exactly the lightest of kits, either. "We've analyzed him thoroughly. He's weak. We shall dispose of him. It's… it's for the best. He would never survive here, and he won't live all on his own. Who will kill him?" I watched Silk stammer uncertainly. She had never liked to kill. But you still do it, I thought, and that makes you just as bad as the rest of them. But suddenly, I had an idea.

"I'll do it." I meowed, standing. Every head turned toward me, shocked. "You?" Silk choked out. "You're a kit!" "So? I'll prove that I… err… belong in SilkPack." I'd always been a good liar.

"Fine, then. Spark will kill the kit." She announced, receiving a few grumbles but no outright protests. "I'll… I'll kill him in the forest, by the river." I informed everyone. "So no one can see. I'd like do to my first… killing… privately." Silk dipped her head. "Very well. We will see you at midsun."

"Hurry up, Dusk." I snapped, leading him toward the river. "Spark, where are we going?" he squeaked, obviously scared. "I… I'm supposed to kill you." Dusk stopped. "What? No! Don't… don't hurt me, S-Spark! P-please!" I could hear tears in his voice and sensed his little paws backing away from me. "I would never!" I declared, still walking. "So… what are you going to do with me?" he asked, hesitantly following me.

"I'll pretend you're dead, bring your 'corpse' back to camp, and take care of you in my den. No one will ever have to know you're still alive. When we're older, you, me, and Oak will escape from here." My friend was the only cat I'd let in on my plan. "Will that work?" Dusk whimpered. "I hope so." I mewed, my heart heavy.

Finally we reached the river. "I'll have to tell them about how I killed you… okay, since I'm not going to hurt you, I can't put a gash on your neck. Instead, I'll tell everybody I snapped it. Okay? So when we arrive at camp, turn your neck at an awkward angle until we get into the den. Got it?" Dusk nodded, determination lighting his gaze. "Got it, Spark."

I padded into camp, Dusk sagging in my jaws. Just like I'd asked, his neck was bent awkwardly. I winced. I couldn't believe what I was putting him through. But I raised my ears, head, and tail, acting proud. I set him down for a moment so everyone could view his "body". "I killed him!" I proclaimed, making sure to raise my voice. "He's dead!" "Good work, Spark! I'll be honest, I didn't think you could do it!" Rhine purred, nudging me. I almost growled at her. Of course I couldn't do it! I'm not a foul-hearted monster like all of you! I thought to myself instead.

The next few moons were calm and uneventful. I brought Dusk food and water, and he hid whenever someone besides me and Oak went into the den. I made sure to keep my deliveries a secret, and Oak watched my back. Dusk slept with me at night and sheltered in the shadows when the others awoke. I could tell he was bored every day, and I wished I could stay to play with him, but I had "duties" to attend to.

One day, everything changed.

I was just walking into the den with a small mouse clutched in my jaws. "Dusk!" I whispered, seeing his shape curled up on the other side of the den. He didn't respond. He must be sleeping. I decided. I padded over to him and nudged him. "Dusk! Wake up, your prey's here!" Again, nothing. I turned him over and gasped. His eyes stared back at me, blank and lifeless.

He was dead.


Aww, poor Dusk. :(
