Defeat
It was a peaceful morning in RiverClan. Every cat was in the camp, and they had just finished having Leaffire, Lightflower, and Thorntail's warrior ceremonies.
Leaffire and Thorntail were lying next to the fresh-kill pile with their friends Dappletail and Waterwhisker. Lightflower was in the nursery, visiting the kits with her soon-to-be mate (she really, really, really liked this cat) Redpaw. Redpaw was sometimes arrogant and mean, and Leaffire and Thorntail thought that Lightflower shouldn't hang out with him, but the two cats loved each other—too much to ever be torn apart.
"They're just jealous," Lightflower declared, thinking of it.
"Who?" Redpaw looked over at her, concerned.
"My siblings," Lightflower explained.
"Ah," Redpaw conceded. "Jealous of what?" he teased, even though he knew, and he knew perfectly well.
"Us." Lightflower frowned. "They keep telling me that you're bad, but...."
"And, what; you're going to let them get you down and admit defeat?" Now Redpaw was frowning, too.
"No, of course not!" Lightflower purred. "Let's go hunting."
"Sure. Lead the way," Redpaw mewed, gesturing with his tail, and the two young lovers were off.
Meanwhile, Leaffire and Thorntail were planning something sinister.
"Is BloodClan ready to take them?" asked Leaffire.
"Yeah." Thorntail nodded. "I just talked to Claw last night." Claw was the leader of BloodClan. "Sandy Thorn—the slave trainer—is ready for them, too. There are some extra cages, and Lightflower can be turned loose to the toms."
Leaffire nodded. "Wonderful," she purred. "Where are they?"
"I saw them going into the forest—something about hunting?" Thorntail cocked his head to one side.
"Probably," Thorntail conceded. "Let's go. You are the fastest runner; you can run to BloodClan's headquarters quickly and get them, right?"
Leaffire nodded.
"Right, then, let's go. You run and I'll.... Well, I'll just go and 'visit' them in the forest until you get back...." Thorntail decided with a grin.
Both cats rushed off to do their 'duties'. It was a perfect revenge to their sister for taking Redpaw! (Leaffire had wanted him, but Lightflower took him, and Redpaw refused to like her, anyways, so....)
Thorntail was 'hunting' with Lightflower and Redpaw when Leaffire rushed in.
"It's BloodClan! They-They're coming!" she gasped, trying to look frightened.
Thorntail, playing along with the part, gasped. "Oh, no! We've got to warn the camp!" But there was a gleam in his eyes that only Leaffire could detect, and she now knew that he was still on the case.
But they didn't get very far, for suddenly BloodClan cats exploded from the bushes.
Leaffire leaped on Lightflower and Thorntail on Redpaw. Redpaw hissed, spitting and nipping.
"Let me go!" he spat.
Lightflower flailed her claws all about, but neither cat was able to get out of their Clanmates' grip.
The BloodClan cats surrounded the clearing, and parted to let two cats pass—one was a tall, lean gray tom with amber eyes, and another one was a dark brown tom with long fur and amber eyes.
"Ah, yes; hello, Sandy Thorn, greetings, Claw." Thorn kept one sharp, clawed paw on Redpaw, and nodded to the two cats. Sandy Thorn was dragging a cage behind him.
"Greetings." Claw nodded, and surveyed Redpaw and Lightflower with sharp, accusing eyes. "Are these the two slaves you promised to let me have?"
"Yes, Claw." Leaffire nodded.
"The tom—is he agile enough to be a hunting and fighting army slave?"
"Yes, Claw." Leaffire and Thorntail both nodded this time.
"And the she-cat—is she good enough to be a sex slave?" Claw requested.
"Yes, Claw." Thorntail nodded, and laughed. "Lightflower, I hope you don't mind, that I was kind of poking around down there around your pussy, while you slept, last night...."
Lightflower just glared, but couldn't do or say anything, since now there was a muzzle on her mouth!!
"She's still a virgin, Claw," explained Thorntail.
"Good, good." Claw laughed. "She can be mine—I don't have a mate yet, and I need one."
"Very nice," Sandy Thorn agreed.
"Throw them in the cage!" Claw declared.
Leaffire and Thorntail threw the two cats into the cage. They huddled together, staring up at their captors with wide, scared, and, in Redpaw's case, arrogant eyes.
"Guess we have to finally admit defeat," sighed Redpaw to Lightflower under his breath once the cage had been closed and they were off, being taken to some cats' camp in the middle of Twolegplace.
"Yeah," Lightflower sighed, watching the two other cats still sitting in the forest with triumphant faces disappear. They crossed the border, and a few Thunderpaths, and Twolegs and cats alike stared. Finally, they were in BloodClan's camp.
Defeat sucks, Redpaw thought. Really, it does. I'll never get to become a warrior because of this, now! Great StarClan, I absolutely hate admitting defeat.
