The Preyless Games
Ivypool's POV
It'd been a day since the Dark Forest had taken over, they'd announced the Preyless Games. It was where 6 cats from each clan fought to the death, only 2 survivors. The 2 survivors had to be allies. Cats could volunteer sometimes for the reaping, but it was banned for the specific time. Kits, leaders, cats 10 moons and older plus Expecting queens and Nursing queens were spared from the reaping. But the rest of the clan was not. Hawkfrost had tweaked the code a bit, allowing mates to be in different clans, as long as at least one of the mates were a tribute for the Preyless Games. Also, the winning tributes could join any clan they wanted. The surviving tributes could pick any normal clan cat as a servant, and however many they wanted. They could also kill cats whenever they wanted.. being one of the winning tributes brought you fame and fortune. The tributes would be reaped while cats from other clans watched from puddles, the puddles would broadcast everything happening in the games. She could hear the footsteps of cats. They'd all gathered in the clearing for the reaping, Hawkfrost and Maggottail had just stopped to briefly talk with Bramblestar, their new leader.
"ThunderClan. Remember you can send things like herbs, or prey to your clanmates. As long as you pay with a lot of prey. I'm talking six rabbits here to send one rabbit to your clanmate." Hawkfrost yowled.
Attention snapped to the striped tom. "We will be reaping 6 cats older than the age of 6 moons and younger than the age of 10 years. Let's start! Dovewing, Cherrypaw, Berrynose, Ivypool, Molepaw, Blossomfall." Maggottail meowed.
Ivypool felt her ice turn to blood. Her and her sister? In the Preyless Games? Against 22 more cats? Cats could make alliances with more than 2 people, but they'd have to kill until there were only 2 left. And Ivypool knew who those 2 were, her and Dovewing. They'd survive for their family.
"ThunderClan, unless you are the reaped cats, follow me. Don't dare to step away, you'll get killed instantly. Your new home Is the twolegplace, ThunderClan." Maggottail meowed. "Meanwhile, I'll take care of the tributes. Don't worry, they'll be fine. Say your goodbyes." Mapleshade meowed.
Ivypool touched her nose to Birchfall's nose, and meowed goodbye to Whitewing. It was going to be long. Her clanmates would be able to watch what was happening in the arena in the water, and they would be able to watch the other cats' reaping.
"Any cat who is not a tribute and is found in the arena will be killed, no excuses. Also, any tribute outside the arena will also be killed." Maggottail added. They followed Maggottail out. "ThunderClan, watch the other reapings." Mapleshade meowed, her eyes flickered with evil.
Tigerheart's POV
Brokenstar and Darkstripe had already come to stand alongside Rowanstar, his father. Snowbird was expecting his kits. He hoped that neither he, Dawnpelt, Tawnypelt had to go to the Preyless Games, even though Tigerheart truly loved Dovewing, he had to get the trust of his clanmates somehow. So he got it using Snowbird.
"ShadowClan! Unless you are the reaped cats, you will also go to the twolegplace where all the other clan cats will be staying until the Preyless games is over. Let's start! We have Tawnypelt, Crowfrost, Tigerheart, Ratscar, Stoatpaw, and Dawnpelt. The rest of ShadowClan will come with me, the tributes will stay with Darkstripe. Say your goodbyes, and wish your friends and family best of luck. They'll need it." Brokenstar meowed.
He went to say goodbye to Rowanstar and Dawnpelt, then went to his mate Snowbird.
"I'll name one Tigerkit, for you." Snowbird meowed. "Thanks, and bye!" he yowled behind him, as he was tugged away by Darkstripe.
Brokenstar headed off with the rest of ShadowClan behind him.
"Just watch the reapings." Darkstripe said.
Breezepelt's POV
Breezepelt was almost waiting for his chance in the Preyless Games, he had requested he be a part of it through Tigerstar and Redwillow, who were talking with Onestar. Onestar looked sad, but called the clan together. "WindClan, you will also go to the twolegplace, unless you are Ashfoot, Breezepelt, Crowfeather, Furzepelt, Boulderfur, or Nightcloud. "Do your goodbyes, and scram with Tigerstar." Redwillow meowed. "Bye, Heathertail." Breezepelt meowed. "What should our kits be named?" she asked. "Smokekit and Brindlekit." Breezepelt meowed quickly, and joined his mother. The cats all pulled after Tigerstar.
Pebblefoot's POV
"Mossyfoot, Pebblefoot, Perchwing, Hollowflight, Minnowtail, and Grasspelt." Clawface meowed, naming each cat. Minnowtail shivered beside him, at the mention of her name. "Alliance?" Minnowtail whispered. Pebblefoot nodded, feeling sick. "Go to the twolegplace, don't get off track, WindClan. We can find you anywhere." Clawface meowed. They went off. And Pebblefoot was left with his own fate.
