It's All Just a Game

"It's all just a game, Lilypaw, it's all just a game," a red tabby tom laughed as he watched a fluffy dappled brown body fall down the ravine. The she-cat screamed up at him, but her head smashed against a rock and she was soon silent.

Copperpaw grinned evilly down at the ravine water.

A small brown she-cat sat next to another, larger brown tom, eating a mouse with him.

"Then Coppertail taught me how to find the plumpest mouse, and he showed me how to do a special battle skill no cat has seen before!" the little she-cat was purring, while the tom continued to eat and roll his eyes at her. "I love him so much, and I know he loves me back!"

At this, the larger brown tom looked down at her. "Deerpaw, do realize that he is a warrior, and you are an apprentice? He's going to teach you stuff, especially now that your mentor has been sick so much!" he grumbled.

Deerpaw rolled her eyes at him now. "Bearpaw, I know that he loves me! Why else would he intertwine his tail with mine so often?" she bragged, flicking her tail to show her point.

Bearpaw looked around nervously. "Deerpaw... haven't you heard of Coppertail's bad luck?" he meowed, keeping his voice soft. "He loved those cats called Dovepaw and Lilypaw first, and they both drowned one day."

The she-cat rolled her eyes again. "That isn't going to happen, mousebrain," she purred, cuffing Bearpaw's ear with her small paw. "You're just being an overprotective brother!"

Before he had time to respond, Coppertail padded over to them. Deerpaw admired his strong muscles rippling under his shining red pelt, and Bearpaw just sniffled rudely. The warrior came over and purred when he saw the little she-cat.

"Why, hello, darling. Would you like to come hunting with me?" he purred, swiping his tail across her back. She shivered joyfully and bounced to her paws.

"Of course, Coppertail! Let's go!" Deerpaw meowed. A strange look flashed in the tom's eyes for a moment, but it was soon gone. Bearpaw narrowed his eyes. As they padded out of camp, he decided he would follow them, just to see what they would catch. Yeah, he thought to himself, just to see what they will catch...

Bearpaw soon found the pair and noticed they were heading toward the ravine. That's strange, he thought, puzzled, there isn't much prey that way. Suspicious, the brown tom crept forward, trying to keep his sister in eyesight at all times.

They finally stopped, right on the edge of the ravine. "Wanna play?" he heard Coppertail meow, and he watched as Deerpaw nodded her head. The two cats wrestled with each other until the small apprentice was exhausted. Bearpaw watched as Coppertail muttered something in her ear and placed his paw on her throat. Horror and shock flooded his mind as he watched Coppertail attack his sister, driving her toward the endless ravine.

Bearpaw jumped out from his hiding place in time to see Deerpaw disappear of the edge. He heard Coppertail's mad laughter as his sister fell, and a rage came over him.

"You!" he shouted, outraged and running at the warrior. "You killed my sister! And Dovepaw and Lilypaw too!" The large apprentice launched himself at the warrior, but that was a fatal mistake. Grinning, Coppertail sidestepped and Bearpaw went flying over the ravine edge.

"It's all just a game, Deerpaw and Bearpaw. It's all just a game."

Tada! Now.... I WILL CATCH UP, .AMBERLEAF.!!!!!!!!
