I'm catching up to you, Gingerstar and Amberleaf (and Brackenfurlover, but she's not in the competition anymore, so…yeah)!!!

I think my brain is dying…I've absolutely no idea what to do for this one.

ONE STEP CLOSER

"I want them dead!" were the last of Hawkfrost's words I heard before I woke. Sunlight streamed into the nursery, and I blinked open my eyes. I was lying between my three siblings: Sagekit, Lilykit, and Sunkit, and my mother, Lightfeather.

"Good morning, Dewkit," Lightfeather mewed, licking me between my ears and rising to her paws. I forced a purr. "Morning, Mother. Are you going to get some fresh-kill?"

She nodded. "Would you like something?"

"No thank you," I meowed, shaking my head. "I'm not hungry yet. Maybe later?"

"Of course." She smiled and padded out of the nursery.

Phase one, complete. Now I must wake up Lilykit. I turned to my cream-colored sister and prodded her gently. "Lilykit!" I whispered. "Wake up!"

She slowly opened her eyes, revealing sparkling pools of sky-blue. "Dewkit? What is it?"

"Come on." I flicked my tail. "I want to show you something!" I motioned to a small hole in the back nursery wall of brambles.

"Are we going to sneak out?" Lilykit looked panicked. She was very polite and obedient; she would never break the rules.

"Only for a few heartbeats!" I protested. I bounded over to the hole and crawled through, checking that the beautiful dove feather was in place. Yes. Phase two, complete.

Lilykit tumbled out of the nursery, almost crashing into me.

"Look!" I pointed to the dove feather with my tail. Lilykit gasped and stared at it in awe. "That's so beautiful! Where'd you find it?"

"I was taking a nap in the sun over here yesterday, and a dove just soared above my head!" I gazed into the sky, as though I were seeing it flutter by. "And its feather just fell, right from its wing!"

"No way!" Lilykit giggled. "That is just so cool! Have you shown Mother?"

I shook my head. "I can't. If I do, she might take it away!"

"What about Sunkit and Sagekit?"

"Nope. You're the first to see it. Well, besides me, of course." I licked her ear, and she smiled, her tail waving gently back and forth.

"I love you, Dewkit," she purred.

"I love you too, sis…but…I have to tell you something." Dewkit unsheathed his claws, and Lilykit stared at him, a puzzled and startled expression spread across her face. "Dewkit?"

"When I say that I love you," Dewkit began, leaping on top of her and pinning her down. Lilykit gasped and struggled. "Dewkit, what are you-" Her voice was cut short as I pressed against her throat with one forepaw.

"…I really don't." I sank my claws into her throat, and blood bubbled from the wound. She panted and choked, until finally, she lay still. I caught my breath, then covered her body with a pile of foxdung I'd gathered the previous day. Then I picked her up by the scruff of her neck and dragged her into the clearing.

I placed Lilykit's body at my paws and let out a thin wail. Fake tears rolled down my cheeks as cats gawked at me.

"Dewkit!" Lightfeather rushed over to me. "Great StarClan! Lilykit!" She crouched beside the tiny kit's body and gently rasped her tongue over her. Then she glanced up at me. "What…what happened to her?" Her green eyes were filled with tears.

"I…I…I found her b-behind the nursery…and she was covered in blood and f-foxdung!" I stammered, choking on my own breath.

"I bet a fox killed her," an elder murmured, their voice filled with sorrow.

"No!" Lightfeather wailed, burying her muzzle into Lilykit's cream fur. "Lilykit!"

I almost felt sorry for her, but I shook off that faint feeling and forced pride into my heart. I told you I could do it, Hawkfrost. Now I'm just one step closer to the plan you have for me.

Ew! Dewkit, what is wrong with you?

He is obviously possessed by Hawkfrost. xD Lol. Nice, right? I tried. I had a hard time with this one. That's why it's so short. Sorry about that!
