Title: Mapleshade's Revenge
Challenge: Letting the Hate Out
Word Count: 226
Mapleshade crept towards the russet pelt in the woods, each step easier and easier as she thought of her dead kits. Appledusk, how could I ever have loved you? The only thing she felt about the tom now was hatred. It burned deep inside of her, fueling her desire for revenge. No one else had seen him finish off Patchkit, still alive from the river, but she had. Oh, you will suffer. You definitely will.
The trees of RiverClan thinned out, so Mapleshade climbed the nearest one and edged out over her former mate. She took a deep breath and dropped.
In an instant she had him pinned down. "I always knew RiverClan was too fat for their own good," Mapleshade hissed down. Appledusk looked at her with wide, scared eyes. "Do you have any last words?"
"Yes," Appledusk snarled, bucking upwards, "Prepare to die, she-cat." Mapleshade dug her claws into his flesh and held on, keeping him down.
He tried again, and she was flung backwards. He held her down. "Do you have any last words?" Spitting, Mapleshade shook her head and writhed as he leaned down with fangs bared. Her paw lashed out at his throat and his lifeblood spilled out into her fur.
Gradually Appledusk's eyes dulled and Mapleshade shoved him off, looking down unapologetically at the battered body of her former love.
And yes, I know that there is an actual book documentation of Mapleshade killing Appledusk, but I thought it should happen this way. No hateful comments please!
