"Who's there?" She cocked her head and her ears shot up. She turned her head around to stare into the black abyss of the forest. It looked dead in the night, the moonlight shining off the branches of the trees that swayed in the gentle breeze. She slowly made her way to her den, covering her paw prints that were left in the snow. She walked into her den and shook the snow of of her sleek black fur.
"ShadowTail" A deep, low voice called to her.
She twisted around until she saw a shadow emerge from a dark corner of her cave. "Legendkeeper?" she called
"Your late."
"whatever. Let's get this over with"
The old led her into the dark corner, lighting a few torches so they could see. He stretched his front paws forward and sat down.
"So, what'cha got?" He looked up at her and offered a paw towards the kits inside of a light brown, wooden fence
"Give me two seconds" She stared blankly at the kits who jumped on top of each other playfully.
LegendKeeper picked up one of the kits, the light from the torch shining on it's back. "How 'bout him?"
"Maybe TwigPaw? He seems skinny" She looked at him with a slight questioning look.
"You can do better"
"You try thinking of new names for kits everyday!" she cried.
"Fine, TwigPaw. I like it"
She rolled her eyes. She picked up two white kits, both with black and brown spots. Calico's, she guessed, the twins looking up at her. "How about TigerPaw and LionTail?"
"Yeah...I like that"
They both put the kits back into the pen (or fence, depending on what you want to call it) and blew out the torch. "Bye" LegendKeeper called to ShadowTail as she left,"careful, there parents know who you are, wouldn't want them finding the kits, you know what they;d do to them...and us for that matter" she turned around "yeah, whatever." She walked out of the cave
"EbonyTree?" She called. She looked around the forest and stopped, her gaze on a pure light-brown cat.
"Your not Ebs..." She looked confused confused.
"No, ShadowTail, i'm not." She had a wicked smile, like a horror movie villain would have.
"SharpTooth!" She hissed.
"were not giving back those kits"
"But why not?" She pouted.
"You tried to murder them!" She cried.
"But they're mine! I want them baaaaaack!" She whined, hopping from one arm to the other.
"Stop acting like a child" ShadowTail said.
"If you won't give them back i'll need to do it the hard way" She groaned. "And that's so complicateeeeeed! Killing you and stuff is so haaaaaaaaaard!" She told her.
"Well we're not giving them to you" She said fiercely.
The cat shrugged "well, let's get this over with"
She lunged at ShadowTail and scratched her back leg. Blood trickled down her leg, creating a puddle of dark red fluid on the ground. ShadowTail growled and whipped around, hitting SharpTooth in the head with her tail. She shook her head and pressed her claws onto her temples. She scratched SharpTooth's, torso, but she dodged, grabbing ShadowTail's forearm in one hand and her head in the other. In one motion, she slammed her head into the ground and bit her neck. ShadowTail tried to get up, but the grip on her head and arm were too tight and she hurt herself more. She managed to roll onto her back and scratched SharpTooth's stomach with one arm. SharpTooth winced and sunk her claws into ShadowTail's stomach and clawed down her belly to her tail. Blood gushed out and she let out a high pitched scream of pain. Tears were flowing down the side of her cheeks as she lay there in pain, unable to move. SharpTooth let go of ShadowTail and waved, making her way toward the forest I'll get the kits tomorrow morning, when she's surly dead. She thought as she trotted away.
ShadowTail made a shaky whistling sound and a hawk landed beside her, right in front of her muzzle. "Tell...LegendKeeper she's...coming..." Blood poured out of her stomach and she let out a soft gasp, she was gone.
