Hey guys! Like the other chapters? I plan for this to have like, 10 chapters..
But I don't know. Do you guy's like it? If I get enough comments I won't end it.. to early. :]
My heart was frozen into place as Firestar sneered. Who would have the heart to kill someone who had done nothing? Firestar, he had a reason to be killed. He must have killed so many for being disobedient to him. I was frozen in horror, and instead of myself, Breezepelt yowled,
"You can't do that, Firestar! What will Bluestar, or StarClan think of your newly developed attitude?" But, as he said that, Firestar only laughed. He knew he could do whatever he wanted and get away with it, it was only a matter of time that no clans were left except his stupid ThunderClan, unless he was stopped..
"I do believe I can, you worthless WindClan cat." his body turned to another ThunderClan cat, Thornclaw was his name. His eyes were filled with hatred, but of course he couldn't show it when their leader was looking at him. "You! Thornclaw! You and Sorreltail will be the lucky ones to kill Nightcloud!"
Firestar's eyes turned back to WindClan, filled with pride and wrath, two deadly sins. "Your other queen, the one with pale gray and white spots. She is already gone. We killed her as soon as she got here, just to show that we will. The apprentices did it."
I looked around the ThunderClan cats. The apprentices were looking another way, but I knew that most of them were ashamed. I thought about my own kits with Leafpool, Jaypaw, Hollypaw, and Lionpaw.. Did they have to kill WindClan cats? Did they want to?
Oh, and Leafpool. Was she okay with all of it? Did she still hate me? Questions ran through my head, and I didn't see her.. The trio of kits were sitting in the back, though. Lionpaw was the only one looking at me. Firestar was laughing still, and I hadn't realized I was being dragged to the front of my clan.
The other four WindClan cats were yelling and trying to get past three bulky ThunderClan cats: Brambleclaw, Sandstorm, and Squirrelflight.
I was the only one who wasn't clawing in pain at the two cats who were dragging me, holding me in place. One was an apprentice: Foxpaw. He was light brown colored, and probably easy to push and claw. But the other was also a tom: Brackenfur, and I could tell he was scared of Firestar. He wouldn't end up letting me go, unless he wanted Firestar to kill him. Which he obviously didn't.
I whipped around and slashed at Foxpaw. He reared back and held me into place pitifully, as Sorreltail and Thornclaw looked over to Nightcloud. They didn't look like they wanted to kill a WindClan cat. No one did. Nightcloud reared back, protectively surrounding her small kits. But she was weak; someone must have been clawing at her earlier.
I bared my teeth at Brackenfur, growling and trying to push him off of me. But he held his place, no matter how much I clawed. I saw Thornclaw mutter something to Nightcloud, and she still just bared her teeth at him, not responding.
Thornclaw began to claw hesitantly at Nightcloud's neck. I pulled at Foxpaw, getting free of him, and then working my way to Brackenfur. Foxpaw held onto my tail with an iron grip of his mouth, keeping me from hurting Brackenfur to bad and making him let go.
As Foxpaw began to ease up, Brackenfur whispered to me, "I'm sorry, Crowfeather, but If I let you go, Firestar will end up killing me and Foxpaw. I'm really sorry. But we can't save her.. Look away if you wish." He suggested, pity in his eyes as he looked at me.
I hated pity. It made me feel small, like a nobody. Like no one could ever help me.
Firestar's voice once again boomed over the snarls of myself and Nightcloud. "Hurry up, you worthless warriors! Finish her!" I was forced by that fire-colored cat to watch, closing my eyes slightly at the end.
Sorreltail was clawing at her stomach, and she was bleeding pretty badly. Thornclaw was hesitant, soft. He clawed at her neck, and Nightcloud was moaning in pain, trying to get them off of her. But it wasn't enough.
Thornclaw whispered something once again and leaned down, biting her neck softly at first, then harder. He ended her life fast, and she lay in front of him, limp.
My eyes were widened, and I was frozen with horror. My mate had just died right in front of me, and they were killing the kits also. I could see Leafpool now. She was in the front, her pelt glistening. Her brown eyes stared at me with deeper pity than Brackenfur had. Her eyes were dull, like she wished she could help.
"F-Firestar." I heard her whisper, and he turned to face his kin, his eyes blazing with wrath. "W-Why don't we not kill the kits? Th-they could make good warriors, and one when it gets older could help myself."
For a moment, I realized it was her way to help me. It was to show me that she cared, and trying to save my kits. I couldn't help but smile lightly, and she eyed me again, and smiled back.
Firestar rolled his eyes but nodded. "Good idea, Leafpool." his voice was almost flat when he spoke to her. Did he dislike her for mating with me? Was his hatred coming from me? I didn't want that, but I couldn't help it.
I realized that I was free to go from Brackenfur's grasp, and charged at Sorreltail, clawing at her face and stomach and wherever I could reach. She snarled and clawed at my neck, and I could barely feel it. I needed to avenge the death of my mate. Even if I had never loved her, you can't just kill a she-cat for no reason.
When Thornclaw tried to help Sorreltail, he was dragged back by Firestar, who said something about seeing who would win this fight, seeing who would conquer in this battle. I didn't care, and I wouldn't stop until this cat was dead.
My claws unsheathed and I clawed at her leg, burying my teeth deep into her throat. She let out a forceful moan and kicked at me, causing my stomach to bleed a little, but I didn't let go, not until I didn't feel a movement.
At least, not until there was no movement around me. No sound, no moaning from Sorreltail. Just silence. Utter silence.
I realized then that I had just killed a ThunderClan warriors, and Firestar probably was going to attack me, or send another warrior so he didn't break a claw..
Firestar's voice almost echoed across the camp. "Well, Crowfeather. You just beat Sorreltail, how useless of her. Couldn't she put up a fight? Pity." He continued.
"Well, sense we're keeping your kit, we're keeping you and the rest of your idiotic patrol to bring in more WindClan warriors, and we'll destroy them and yourself, as well! ThunderClan will conquer!"
It was then, when I met Firestar's eyes, I realized that there wasn't very many ways I could beat the tom in front of me. Sure, he was evil, but before that, he was smart. He was taught, not only by Bluestar, but by Tigerstar and everyone else. BloodClan. Everything.
And I realized then that we were utterly doomed.
