R&R for R&R? How's about a new PetalClan perspective?
Ivyfire was sitting alone in the clearing. Even though all the Clans were being friendly with one another she bared her teeth at any cat that came too close. Of course it was Streamfeather's fault. Ivyfire had always been jealous of her sister's soft, silky silvery white fur. Her sister's blue eyes always shone with innocence. Ivyfire on the other paw was of course ginger, brown, and white furred. Tigerfur had seen the beauty in Streamfeather before he had known Ivyfire's name. Deep inside she wished things had been different, that she could have been Streamfeather. The tiny kits that bounced around her paws should have been Ivyfire's, not Streamfeather's. Jaguartail had always been under the impression that her two kits had been close but in fact the two she-cats had always been marred by a driving jealous of the other. Streamfeather wanted Ivyfire's courage and Ivyfire wanted Streamfeather's beauty. Ivyfire was so wrapped up in her anger she didn't hear Kiteflight's approach.
"What do you want?" Ivyfire flicked her tail in warning.
"I know you're angry at Streamfeather, I'm just as angry at Tigerfur." Kiteflight sat beside her so that their pelts nearly touched.
"Tigerfur's not you're littermate." Ivyfire hissed.
"He was my best friend. That's just as bad. He knew I wanted Streamfeather." Kiteflight's voice rumbled with emotion.
Ivyfire liked Kiteflight's air of control and suddenly forgot her feelings for Tigerfur.
Ivyfire scoffed, "You'd be better off as my mate."
Kiteflight twined their tails together.
"Maybe I would." He rasped his tongue over her ears.
Ivyfire purred but once she caught Acornkit's eye she growled.
"You want revenge?" Kiteflight was cooing to her.
"I want those kits dead." She snarled in anger.
"I will do it for you my love." Kiteflight purred.
"You'll kill four kits? F-for me?" Ivyfire was beginning to like this tom.
"They'll be gone soon." Kiteflight touched his nose to hers and padded off
Wildstar was watching a small cluster of cats, talking in hushed tones. He figured it couldn't be good since Dapplefern was among the cats. He missed Pebblestar so much, he felt that he wouldn't be able to bear the pain. Orioletail padded to his side.
"Little brother, you should've known." the tortoiseshell murmured.
"I loved her, Hailstorm, Molewhisker, and Hazelcloud just as much as you loved Ospreyclaw, Tumblestep, and Bramblespots." The tom sighed.
"Ospreyclaw was a LeafClan warrior." Orioletail countered.
"Love knows no boundaries." Wildstar growled and stalked away.
Kelpstar was sitting with Darkstar and Flowerstar.
"Wildstar, without Pebblestar you don't seem to know what to do with your paws." Kelpstar was amused.
"Hello Kelpstar." Wildstar flicked his tail to the dark she-cat and padded away.
PetalClan: a moon later
Ivyfire was waiting for Kiteflight in the spot that her told her to. They had talked about their plan the night before. Kiteflight knew about things not even Bloomtail or Snowstar knew about. Soon she saw the dark tabby pelt and four tiny kits bounced next to him. Streamfeather's kits.
"Ivyfire, I've brought them." Kiteflight gave in sinister chuckle.
"Alright kits, you follow me!" Ivyfire glared at the kits.
Icekit cowered behind Acornkit, who glanced up to Ivyfire and Kiteflight bravely.
"You don't scare me!" Birdkit snapped.
"She goes first." Kiteflight rumbled.
Ivyfire nodded briskly and led the kits to an active badger set.
The badgers were present and Kiteflight stood back cautiously.
"What's that stench?" Acornkit exclaimed.
"BreezeClan kits." Kiteflight lied.
"Go on inside and rough them up a bit." Ivyfire flicked her tail to the entrance.
"Those can't be kits!" Firekit squeaked.
"Come on let's go." Birdkit charged forward.
Icekit and Firekit followed quickly.
Acornkit lingered, turned to the two warriors, and darted off.
"Come back here!" Kiteflight yowled after her.
He tried to follow but Ivyfire stopped him.
"She's going towards the Pink-Skin place." she meowed.
Suddenly shrieks came from the badger set and Ivyfire whipped her head around to the entrance.
The voice of Birdkit was soon cut off with a sickening crunch of tooth on bone.
Ivyfire winced at the sound and suddenly realized she was killing her kin. Her littermate's daughter was dead.
She soon saw Firekit and Icekit attempt to escape. Firekit's jaw was twisted at an awkward angle and Icekit's eye was missing.
Ivyfire tried to charge forward to save the two young toms but Kiteflight stopped her.
"You wanted them dead, let them die." Kiteflight snapped.
Soon the two toms were being dragged down into the depth of darkness.
"Ivyfire!" Icekit wailed.
"Help us Ivyfire! Aren't you my mother's sister!" Ivyfire felt her heart stop at Firekit's plea.
"Don't you love us!" Icekit's voice was heard no more.
Firekit let out one more plea.
"Ivyfire help m-" The sudden silence was unbearable.
"Let's go relax. Then we'll scare off the badger." Kiteflight led the horrified Ivyfire to a cove.
"Kiteflight," Ivyfire began, recovering from her shcock.
"Yes my love?"
"I'm expecting your kits."
