Pov

I looked from my nest, detecting another cat. "Wake up, sweetie." A voice like honey breathed in my ear. I am Drip, student of The Wails of the Sinful, The Wails for short. We fall in love early, and my future mate, Bumble, was beside me. "It's time for a punishment." He said, letting me walk past, out of the box. I watched as our leader, Marrow, was on the heap of bones- of all animals in them. Cat, twoleg, you ask, I will agree. Marrow was on the bones, standing before a plump shecat. "Opal," he boomed. "You have mated forbiddenly, giving your kits the blood of no other than..." Marrow turned to a black tom, "Eagle." The cats gasped. I had to, also. You see, you can't mate a Omega. Omega is the rank you start in at a year old. When you do a crime, you drop a rank. When you fight the higher next rank, they move down, and you move up. Omegas cannot mate. Eagle is a young beta, and people shouldn't start asking to mate, this young. I felt sad, but I would have a punishment if I protected him and his love. Marrow spoke again, "Opal, you will be prisoner, and you will be killed once your kits are one week old. Ebony, you came from our enemies. You will nurse those kits when Opal, is dead. Eagle, prepare!" Marorow leaped at Eagle, toppling him over. Marrow then ripped open Eagle, going from the stomach and down. Eagle screeched. "Ah, the blood." Marrow called for the healer. The healer patched up Eagle. Marrow followed. "Drip, my daughter." He called. To me... I walked to him. Marrow walked up to the den. He cut up the cobwebs sealing the wound, opening the stomach. The Healer, who does not go by his real name, said, "What are you doing?" Marrow did not reply. What he did next... Was uncatlike.

Sharpy's POV

I looked at Moonleap. Birdpool circled me. "Tell me, Moonleap, have you mated with another tom? Firekit is devastated. Dustpaw jumped to conclusions. Sandkit did not have greencough. It was rare, a tom mates a shecat, then another mates that same shecat. Most of the time, some more kits grew, then died in your stomach. One injured Sandkit. And I performed ripping open your stomach. I closed it, though. Those kits... Looked like...

Bouncefire." My chin felt the ground. I turned to her. Her eyes... Their beautiful eyes were filled with it, the love of Bouncefire. "Look, Sharphawk... When I left for the dirtplace one time, and Bouncefire appeared and stuffed a herb down my mouth. I went insane, mating Bouncefire... Sharphawk, I am sorry. I tried to stop, but the herb forced me on. I hope his effect wouldn't take toll. It just felt so good, Sharphawk." Moonleap pleaded. Her eyes still held the love. I stormed to Tinystar's den and told her everything. She leaped off onto a rock. "All cats old enough to leap through trees gather around the Bond Rock for a clan meeting!" Tinystar called. The cats gathered around, and Tinystar told all the story, Moonleap looking embarassed, listening from the Medicine Cat den. The cats gasped. "However, it is Sharphawk's decision for Moonleap's fate." Tinystar added. I looked up. I decided after a few minutes of contemplating. "Keep her prisoner. Her son and daughter shall know about her, but they will know the wrongs about her." I declared. Tinystar nodded. "Graysky, guard the lover, sweetheart." Tinystar said caringly, although Graysky was not Tinystar's daughter. In fact, she was of Whiteblood and Dark. Graysky led Moonleap over to a cave, shoving her in gently, and rolling a boulder over the cave, she left a crack to shove prey and soaked moss in. I was worried, raged, and loving. I then heard a call, (this be weeks after the death of Sandkit) "Sharphawk! Milkkit and Firekit opened their eyes!" One cat called. I ran over to the nursery. I saw my kits. Firekit had cool green eyes, like a morning dew coating the grass. Milkkit, the gray one, had electric blue eyes. I saw my kits. My kits. I said to Plumfawn, the new queen, "They are beautiful." I puffed out my chest in pride. "Pa!" Milkkit exclaimed. "Where's Mamoo?" He wondered. Firekit growled playfully, "Wanna play with Graysky when she's done with duties?" He asked. "Sure! I wonder who she's guarding." Milkkit contemplated. I worried, and then gulped. Better tell em the truth. "Your mama was punished, for uh... Loving another cat." I whimpered. Firekit looked up in understanding, while Milkkit looked puzzled. "So... We have another Pa?" He asked. I jarbled, "Yes. But he's not good." I sighed. "Ok." Milkkit replied, satisfied. I went to my den, and settled in my nest.

Drip POV

I watched him as he shoved mud in the body. He shredded the worms, and settled them in. I forced myself not to lash out. Eagle was knocked out, so he wasn't feeling it. He would die slowly. The Healer sealed it up again. Eagle awoke a few hours later. "Ughh... I am sorry, Marrow. She forced me." He said. Marrow was suprised. He thought Eagle forced HER. Marrow knocked out Eagle, and rinsed the body.
