Jetkit let out the scariest snarl she could manage as she pounced on her brother, Sparklykit, swiftly catching his fluffy tail in her jaws.
He was about to protest, when Orangejuicekit slammed into him, smashing his head into the warm pale sand.
Marblekit knocked her over and began to batter the sides of her head. Soon, all of the kits were wrestling each other, not realizing how much damage they were dealing to one another.
Their mother, of course, didn't do a thing, because she was too busy gossiping to her friends, Valleyleaf and Roserose.
It was not until Kraftstar had arrived from a hunting patrol did someone finally decide to go and break up the brutal fight between the kits. Bounding across the sandy clearing, Beautifulfur turned to look at him in confusion, before shrugging it off, and turning back to talk to her friends.
"Hey, stop it! Get away from each other right now," Kraftstar snapped as he separated the kits.
"Aww, but daaaaaaaad, we were just playing!" Patchkit protested in a whiny voice.
"Look at you," he snarled, "Your fur is a mess, Jetkit's ear is torn, Orangejuicekit is covered with bruises, Marblekit has TWO black eyes, and Sparklykit nearly got his brains bashed in! You call that playing?!"
"Um... I guess?"
Kraftstar seethed in rage, before he shouted, "WRONG! Follow me, NOW."
He scooped up as many of the kits as he could and marched to the medicine cat's den. The rest had to follow him, their tails tucked between their legs in shame.
The moon was bright in the sky, dousing the forest in a silver light. Not far from SparkleClan's camp was a huge oak tree, which had a rather funny smell to it. What is was, no one knew, much less wanted to find out or give it a name. It was a bit small, but a good place for secret conversations though.
"Kits will be kits," Beautifulfur said dismissively, as she shifted around trying to get comfortable.
"That's not the point, dear. The point is that you make for a terrible mother."
"But I make a good partner... don't I?" she purred slyly.
"Beautifulfur, stop doing that. I'm not in the mood. I'm pissed that you would let our kits, OUR KITS, "play" so roughly with each other. Starwater had to actually tend to their wounds for at least half of the day."
"You were there, weren't you?'
"Yes, but what if I wasn't? Who would then?"
"Dunno. Maybe someone else would have."
"Look, YOU are also the PARENT. YOU are the one supposed to be teaching our kits right from wrong. I can't do it by myself. You told me, my self, that you were ready for motherhood. But I'm starting to doubt that."
The two cats lied next to each other in cold silence. "I suppose you're right... I'll try to be the better parent from now on, I promise."
The orange tom purred. "Good."
The sun was slowly rising, the birds were chirping, and the air smelled like butterflies.
"Today is going to be perfect," Beautifulfur purred as she stretched, showing off her lean, elegant shape. "Nothing could possibly go wrong."
She didn't even get to walk outside of the warriors den, before she saw Bloodstar, leader of EvilClan, standing in the camp entrance.
"OH MY GLOB! EVILCLAN IS ATTACKIN' US," she screeched at the top of her lungs. This promptly woke everyone up.
Everyone rushed out of their dens. Kraftstar pushed his way through the crowd, earning him some glares, until he was face to face with the black tom.
Bloodstar stared at the orange tom, his red eyes almost seeming to glow.
"Kraftstorm, I thought your warriors were more intelligent than this," he purred mockingly, "Surely you know by know that we're ShadowClan, right? Unlike your brainwashed Clan, we like to stick to the old traditions."
"Bloodstar," Kraftstar spat, "You have no right to do this."
"Of course I do, because I simply have the nerve to do so."
The stocky black tomcat bared his teeth. SparkleClan could only watch in horror as Bloodstar's canine teeth grew longer and sharper.
"He's a vampire," a SparkleClan cat cried.
"We all are," the ShadowClan leader hissed, "And your Clan is a threat to our very existence!"
Bloodstar let out a loud a blood curdling yowl, "SHADOWCLAN ATTACK!"
A swarm of vampire cats surged out of the bushy undergrowth they'd been hiding in, and made headway for the SparkleClan cats.
Beautifulfur let out a snarl as a lavender tomcat aimed at her, snapping his teeth like an angry fox. She ducked out of the way, and he landed with a thud on the ground. She whirled around and clawed at something, even though she had no idea on who it was.
The white she-cat purred as she heard a cat weep, "My eye! MY EYE!"
Beautifulfur spun around to face a light blue tom. Although he was rather big, she figured it would be easy to get him. She ran and slashed at his flank, but the tom grabbed the dainty she-cat and flung her in the air like a piece of prey. Dust scattered as she got back up and let out a cough. She got a running start before she leaped onto his back, and began ripping out chunks of his fur. She thrashed his ears violently, and nearly laughed when blood began to spill out. Unfortunately, the tom rolled over on his back, effectively getting her off. He pinned her to the ground and started striking at her belly, when another cat ripped the massive tom off of her.
It was Kraftstar.
"OH NO! OUR KITS," Beautifulfur cried. She darted to the nursery. A black and white tom who had tried to break into the nursery was in a brutal fight with Princesscrown, even though she seemed to have the upper hand.
"NO!"
The white she-cat tried to attack him, but he was too big. Turning around, he smacked her square in the face. Pain throbbed in her facial area, suddenly feeling sensitive. Beautifulfur felt sick and wobbly. She fell to the ground as everything around her faded into darkness.
Beautifulfur woke up. Her face was still sore. The first thing she noticed was how cool the air felt. It was also rather dark.
"Wintersnow, I think she's awake," a familiar voice said.
"Z-zombiepaw?"
Beautifulfur heard some hushed whispers, before Wintersnow approached her.
As the white she-cat sat up, she groaned and put a paw to her head. "Wha-wha happened?"
"ShadowClan battled us into submission."
"Are my kits alright? What about my mate?"
"I-I'm sorry, Beautifulfur, but they took your kits."
OH SNAP BRAH!
I'm going to give out the link to the original Beautiful Sparkle in the next chapter, as we are close to the part where the original one ends.
