Sky of Birds: Book 1: Lion's Flight
A/N: Well, here it is. The epilogue. I can't believe it's over! –sobs- Wait! The SEQUEL! The sequel, Jay's Flight, will be posted once I'm done with the first book of COL and I'm done with the first book of my Artemis Fowl series (The Wolfish Incident). That should be… I don't know. But it will be posted.
Epilogue
A tom sat staring up at the moon. Next to him sat a young she-cat, her eyes glinting in the pale light. Both had claws unsheathed.
"That obnoxious little… thing got in the way," the tom spat. The she-cat nodded.
"Something needs to be done," she murmured, keeping her voice low.
"He needs to be gotten rid of," the tom said angrily. A small smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. "And I know just the one to do it."
"Who?" the she-cat asked, looking over at him. Curiosity sparked in her eyes.
"You, of course, my little apprentice," the tom said, looking down and meeting her eyes. "You're ready."
"I… I don't know." The she-cat looked unnerved. Scared. Frightened.
"Are you backing out?" demanded the tom, his eyes flashing. He flexed his claws.
The she-cat didn't miss that. "N-no!" she stammered. "Of course not! I… I just don't know if I can do it."
"It's easy," the tom said, shrugging. "Just make sure there are no witnesses. And don't make too much of a mess. There are plenty of ways to make yourself… not a suspect. Make sure that your fur isn't between his claws. Make sure all the blood is out of your fur. And of course, I'll simply say that you were in camp when it happened."
"Leafstar doesn't trust us," the she-cat pointed out. "If you vouch for me…"
"Good point," the tom murmured. "Wolfpelt is weak-minded. We'll have him do it."
The she-cat nodded and turned back to the sky.
"Does this mean you'll do it?" the tom asked.
The she-cat was silent for a moment, and then she spoke.
"I'll do it. This time a moon from now, all memory of him will have washed away."
