My third challenge! It's about my OC in Nightclan, Squirrelpaw.
My head pounded as blood poured from a long, bloody scratch on my muzzle. I turned to face the beast that killed my littermates; an over-sized badger. I knew that I couldn't do anything to the badger, me being just a kit. But I could try. I leapt at the monster, clinging onto it's long shaggy fur. I threw me off with ease and turned to June. June's my mother. She's a former kittypet. One day, she wandered into the woods and met my father. He abandoned her once he found out she was pregnant. Mother says that his name was Bug. I think she still loves Bug, because that was my brother's name. Bug. But he's dead now. So is Robin. The badger killed them both with one blow. For once, I was lucky for being the biggest kit in the litter. The badger leapt at Mother. She whimpered and tried to kick the badger off. Silly Mother. June is about the same size as me. And that's small for a full grown cat. The only thing I heard from Mother was a wet choking sound. And I knew that Mother was gone. Any other cat would cry and give up. But not me, and not now. I knew that if I gave up, I would be dead too. So I turn and run. I run like a coward. Like a big, fat coward. I can hear the badger thumping after me. He's not going to give up. He wants to kill the whole family that stole his den. Not just three members. All four. The badger grabbed for my tail. I quickly drew it back, not wanting to be made fun of for having a stump of a tail. I want to be accepted in the place I'm going. To Nightclan. June told me about Nightclan, and how they're understanding, tough and loyal. I don't exactly know where Nightclan is, but I'll know when I see it. I can suddenly smell many cat scents, and I know I'm heading in the right direction. Especially when two she-cats come into view; a golden one collecting herbs and a pitch black one talking with her. They turn around to see me. A mess of blood and fur. Oh yeah, and also the badger. The black she cat unsheathed her claws. They're long and curved. It's kinda weird and cool. The golden she-cat ushers me behind her, somewhat safe from the badger. The black one digs her claws into the badger. That beast lets out a loud growl and lumbers away, but not without scratching the black she-cat on her side. The golden cat asks why the badger was after me. So I explain as best as I can. And, that's actually very well, considering it happened less than a few moments ago. I tell them that I wish to join Nightclan. The two cats exchange a quick glance, then nod. The black one asks for my name. So I reply,
"Squirrel. My name is Squirrel."
Wow. That turned out better than I thought it would! I hope you like it, Xixi!
