Midnight Run

Two bodies, two tails entwined with one another's.

One, a large, orange she-cat with a long tail, turned to the other cat, a tom. "Katze," she mewed, rubbing her cheek against his black fur. "I want to stay with you forever. I never want you to leave me."

The tom glanced at her and purred. "Dearest Shiningsun," he meowed, flicking her with his jet-black tail. "I love you, dear one. No matter what your Clan says, I don't believe it wrong for you to love me."

Shiningsun glanced at him, a hint of anger and regret in her eyes. "Branchstar is a foolish old tom. You would have been a great warrior. They rejected you because they are scared to become like ThunderClan. WindClan is proud, Katze. I wanted you," she added, purring. "That's why I chose to leave. I want you." Katze pressed himself close to her, breathing in her sweet scent of flowers and the moor.

The pair stopped at an old ravine and lay down next to each other. They rested there until midnight, when Shiningsun turned to Katze and purred, "Wanna have a midnight run?" Her mate nodded enthusiastically, and they darted to their paws.

Paws hit the ground lightly as they began running along the ravine. Katze watched a huge smile grow across Shiningsun's face. This was what she was born to do. Run. Free. He watched as her orange fur blew in the small breeze and sniffed as her floral scent came his way. He would love to stay with the she-cat forever, if only he could.

It would not last forever. For at this moment, something terrible was heading their way, in the form of a large she-cat with powerful muscles.

However, they were enjoying the moment. Shiningsun drew closer to Katze, and soon they were running with their tails entwined. Up ahead of them was a crack in the ground where the ravine broke off into a river. The orange she-cat warrior drew away from Katze and cleared the crevice in a single bound. She turned around, panting and smiling, to encourage Katze.

Suddenly, just as she turned, a huge cat leapt out from the bushes and grabbed Shiningsun. The newcomer pinned her down to the ground with two huge paws. Her muscles rippled with satisfaction, and she turned her head toward Katze.

Surprise and shock clouded the tom's senses when he saw the newcomer. "Liebe," he whispered, shock clear in his voice.

The large white she-cat turned to him and smiled darkly. "Katze. I knew it was you. Is this... your new mate?" she cooed, spitting the word 'mate'. She pressed her paw down harder, and Shiningsun began to gasp for air.

"Don't... don't hurt her, Liebe. She didn't hurt you... didn't... do anything," he stammered, shaking his black head. Shiningsun looked over at him, and he saw pain and confusion in her blue eyes. Who was this she-cat?

Liebe snorted and looked down at Shiningsun. "Darling, did he not tell you?" she hummed. Noting the look of confusion in her eyes, she mewed, "I was Katze's first mate. He left me when I sent our kits -Gabel and Löffel- to their deaths by making them fight another rogue."

"Katze... you never... never told me," Shiningsun mewed, a look of betrayal in her eyes.

"I'm sorry."

Liebe chuckled. "It is too late to apologize, Katze. Your mate is going down the ravine. Sorry," she purred threateningly. At this, she pressed hard onto Shiningsun's throat.

"Katze... I... I'll miss you," Shiningsun whispered, looking at the black tom with certainty and love in her gaze. The orange she-cat suddenly pushed upwards and sideways with all of her might, pushing Liebe and herself to the edge of the crevice. Katze watched in alarm as Shiningsun gave a long screech, and then the two she-cats toppled over the edge, locked in combat.

Katze ran to the edge and stood, frozen, as his love smashed her head against rocks and raked her claws down Liebe's side. Both she-cats were bloody and broken when they plunged into the water. Panicking, Katze ran downstream of the river below him until he came to a small bank of water. Soon enough, he spotted an orange tail floating in the water, and he saw Liebe and Shiningsun. He propelled himself into the water and got hold of Shiningsun's neck. He dragged her waterlogged body out onto shore, with Liebe attached.

All hope that was with Katze melted away when he saw his love's body. It was twisted and broken, and her neck was twisted at an odd angle. Liebe was in the same condition. Shiningsun was dead. All because of five small words.

Wanna have a midnight run?
