'Do you know what dogs look like?' asked Sun carefully. Owl shut his eyes and imagined the twoleg's monster pets.

'Well, yes,' he said finally, 'we saw them on the journey with Sol.'

Sun gulped and continued.

'Have you heard of…. wolfs?' she whispered.

Owl shook his head stupidly.

'Those are huge gray dogs, with claws as long as our paws and teeth as sharp as thorns,' gulped Sun, 'I saw them as a kit… and… and…'

She burst out crying and color drained out of her eyes and fur.

'I can't… I can't tell you anymore,' she screamed painfully.

Owl pressed his muzzle against her's comforting her. She calmed down and continued coldly.

'And they took my mother,' she croaked her eyes absently staring around, 'and if Sol is the leader, guess who Drumm is?'

'Alpha male or something?' he heard Sol telling him the dogs in packs had Alphas and Betas, but didn't tell him about the name of those dogs.

Sun nodded.

'What did they do to your mother?' asked Owl carefully.

'What do you do to mice?' retorted Sun darkly.

Owl's jaw dropped.

'They didn't…'

'Yes, they did!' nodded Sun miserably, 'It was a dark story… my mothers name was Dawn… listen…'

… A small toirteshell she – cat was padding through the dark forest.

'Dawn?' someone muttered, 'I'm so glad you came.'

'Come out Sol,' spat Dawn, 'I came to end this.'

Sol slipped from behind of a tree.

'Dawn…' he muttered and ran his tail down her spine.

'Don't touch me,' hissed the beautiful she – cat jumping away, 'I told you already that I chose Dor as my mate.'

'But Dawn,' growled Sol, 'Don't be a Mousebrain! You'll have everything you want if you be my mate.'

'I want love, Sol,' sighed Dawn, 'I love Dor, and please understand me!'

'Fine!' spat the big tom, 'you and you'll family will pay.'

'Mom,' a small golden kit jumped around Dawn, 'I wanna go hunting!'

'You will,' smiled the she – cat sadly, 'When you grow up, I promise.'

'Hey Sunny,' A small tom sat down and licked her between the ears, 'I brought you a mouse.'

'A mouse!' Sun's eyes glowed, 'Wow!'

'Did you steal it?' hissed Dawn to Dor quietly.

'We can't die of hunger!' protested Dor irritably, 'We have to get out of here!'

'Sol will find us and shred to pieces!' objected the she – cat sorrowfully, 'Just… forget it. Everything will be all right.'

'Dad,' squealed the kit, 'can I go hunting when I am older?'

'Of course you…'

'What is that?' asked Dawn alarmed suddenly tasting the air.

Dor raised his nose worriedly.

'I don't know,' he shivered, 'Wait here…'

Sun peeked put and her heart evaporated - in the center of the camp stood a huge wolf, scars down his whole muzzle.

Sol was standing in front of him talking quietly. Then he turned to the clan.

'Drumm says that prey is scarce,' he mewed. Okay, thought Sun, Now what.

'He says that either he kills the whole clan,' continued the big tom, 'Either we give him one cat.'

Gasps ran down as cats began scattering.

'I decided,' sneered Sol, 'It's going to be Sun.'

'NO!' shrieked Dawn bursting from the den.

'She's a kit Sol,' yelled Dor, 'Get a life.'

'Well…' asked Sol impatiently, 'Would you like to change places, Dawn?'

'I'll go,' yelled Dor.

'I asked Dawn,' spat the leader, 'So Dawn, is it you or your kit.'

'Me,' answered the she – cat miserably.

'DAWN!' roared Dor as other cats were holding him back, 'NO DAWN! DAWN!'

It was too late.

'Mother! MOM!' sobbed Sun, 'Why!'

No one knew that a kit could be so fierce.

'You bastard!' she shrieked jumping at Sol, 'I hate you! I HATE YOU!'

… 'I couldn't change anything though,' sobbed Sun many moons later sitting under the Olive tree, 'She's gone Owl. SHE'S DEAD!'

'I'm so sorry, Sun,' whispered Owl pressing his pelt against her's.

'Now each four seasons we have to give them a cat…' she cried.

Owl gulped.

'Sun… I have to tell you something…'

Thanks for the comments. I am going to vacation with my mom for three weeks, so I will not be able to post I guess. :(
