Oakkit POV
It was a frosty morning; wind whipped the trees till they almost snapped off. Nightkit was curled up next to Oakkit. The two kept each other warm as Star went off to hunt. Oakkit woke first. He gave Nightkit a lick on the forehead and nearly dozed off, until he saw his dad. His dad, he loved his dad. He played with him, but he always left Nightkit out and Oakkit did not like that, not that he didn't love his mother; she was nice and brought back lots of yummy bits for them to eat. Nightkit stirred in her sleep and woke,
"Oakkit?" She asked
"Oakkit?"
"Yeah?" Oakkit answered, turning his attention back to Nightkit.
"Nothing, you look like something's bothering you?"
"Oh, it's nothing" Nightkit looked at me with suspicious eyes. I couldn't tell her I had seen dad, he had put his lips into the 'shhh' sign when Nightkit had talked to me. Nightkit got up to her paws and went deeper into the cave
"Going to get a drink, you coming?" She asked, nudging me
"Yeah, coming"
I ran after her. The cave smelt of oldness, ice and rats. The ground was slightly moist, making my paw pads cold. We go to the little stream and Nightkit bent down and took a sip. The cave walls expanded here, leaving a wide area. By the side of the wall, a tiny trickle of water dripped into the little stream. Mum had caught a fish in it once or twice, they had no eyes. Nightkit continued lapping the water; I stepped closer and saw a slight disturbance in the clear water. A small, eyeless, pale fish swam out and darted somewhere else. Shaking my fur, I took a long sip, letting the freshness travel through my body. A shadow came up behind me; I spun around and saw Dad, Sand. Nightkit gasped and pressed her small body against the wall, her eyes widening.
"Dad!" I cried out pressing my face against his chest fur.
"Son, Burn, come. We will be leaving this forlorn place." He spoke, his voice echoing around the cave.
"Oakkit?" Nightkit whispered
"Dad!" I laughed, "My names Oakkit"
"No. Burn. Your name is Burn." He said then grabbed my scruff and ran off out of the cave. I tried to claw him but it was no use. I could hear Nightkit's wails, then nothing. Suddenly, he stopped and spun around again, was he going to put me back? No, I thought as I saw Nightkit, she had flung herself on top of him, on top of Sand. She was trying to claw him, only managing to get small pricks of blood out. Her black pelt stood out on Sand's golden one. Oakkit let out a shout as Sand used his large paw to whack her off; she flew through the air, twisted her body and landed on her paws then charged again, this time attacking his face. Crying, I was crying now. She scratched his nose, the pricks of blood dripped off and landed on my face, mingling with my tears. Sand let out an angry grunt and let his claws slide out. Nightkit jumped off and attacked his back again shouting words I couldn't hear. Sand whacked Nightkit again, letting his claws slid into her back. She landed without a sound onto the brown earth, and lay there, unmoving. I heard a mournful yowl back, was that Star? But I didn't care. Not the least.
"YOU KILLED HER YOU PIECE OF FOXDUNG! You killed her…you –" I couldn't continue. Sand dug his teeth into my scruff and dashed off. I sobbed, dead. Nightkit was dead, and my father had killed her.
… Wow…sooo….the main is dead? Yes or no? :)
Thanks and R&R!
