Thanks for all those awesome reviews! *Hands out plushies* Warning: This chapter might have some mild killing.
I scurried through the trees, tripping, falling, then scrambling up again to catch up to my friends.
Wildkit and Gazekit were far ahead of me now.
"Hey, wait up!" I called.
"You hurry up!" Wildkit hissed back over his shoulder.
I knew we weren't supposed to be out of camp.
We were just kits.
But Wildkit and Gazekit had talked me into hunting for a fox a patrol had spotted down by the stream.
"Here we are." Gazekit annonced, halting by the lazy stream.
I caught up to them and sat down, out of breath.
You see, I wasn't very big.
I was very tiny compaired to the large Wildkit and the strong Gazekit.
"Well, where's the fox?" I asked after a moment.
Wildkit slapped his tail over my mouth.
"Shhh." he whispered.
I glanced around.
There was no fox...
"Hey, Gazekit-" I started to mew.
There was a hiss and a red fox shot at Gazekit, his fangs gleaming.
"Gazekit!" I shrieked.
"Don't just stand there, Brokenkit. Go help him!" Wildkit snarled to me.
I hesitated, then lunged at the fox.
The fox whipped out a huge claw and scratched my side.
I tumbled back, my heart racing.
Wildkit growled at me, then raced forward to get at the fox's eyes.
No use.
The fox bit Wildkit's ear and Wildkit fell back, dazed.
I lifted my head to see Gazekit being clawed.
He was dying... and it was all my fault.
I couldn't save him... I had tried...
The poor kit went limp in the fox's paws, and I breathed in sharply.
Gazekit was dead.
Wildkit, angry and furious, made a huge leap at the fox's tail.
Big mistake.
The fox whirled around, caught Wildkit by the scruff, and threw him.
I watched as Wildkit landed with a horrid thud on the ground.
He didn't get up.
His eyes were glazed.
Wildkit had died trying to save his friend.
Fear gripped me as I realized I was next for the fox to kill.
But to my relief I heard a pounding of paws and Redscar, a ShadowClan warrior raced in.
He stared at the two dead kits, then looked at me.
I shivered.
Redscar attacked the fox, battled him to the ground, and killed him.
"Brokenkit, what has happened?" demanded the elderly warrior, stalking over to me.
I tried my best to explain everything that had happened.
Redscar nodded for me to return back to camp.
But as I padded on home, I looked over my shoulder at those two dead bodies, and I realized that could've been me.
Next chapter will be: Leopardkit! (Leopardstar) All who review get a free Brokenkit plushies! Yay for plushies!
