Hola amigos! Sorry if any of you know how to speak Spanish and I completely butchered those two words. So I got a couple of good suggestions from last chapter, but if I took them how could I surprise you people? The whole Softkit has a power thing is a good idea and all and I'd take it but, sorry Softsplash, this story takes place like two books before that… maybe three or two and a half? And oops, I forgot about Softkit's warrior name, still haven't decided- I'll leave something at the bottom of this chappie and leave it for you guys to decide. Blah, before I start to sound dumb (too late, right…? The whole Spanish thing probably got you guys shaking your heads at me) here is thy story, as told by Softkit and Brookkit. Sort of.

Three Mad Cats

Softkit let out a high-pitched shriek as a large red face appeared in front of her, growling menacingly. Not only did it smell weird but it was ugly, too, with a long snout and scary glowing eyes. Softkit scrambled backwards, no doubt getting her fluffy white pelt caked with mud and dirt, only to trip over a little rock. This made her tumble farther down the den toward the fox, somersaulting until she hit the fox's leg with her face.

Brookkit, who had been hissing valiantly at the creature, darted forward to grab her little sister by the scruff and drag her back farther. A small figure raced from the back of the den, letting out an excited yelp before racing up to the fallen Softkit and sinking its tiny, sharp teeth into her tail. Softkit yowled in terror and pain and locked eyes with Brookkit, who looked equally as terrified as the big fox loomed towards them.

"Brookkit!" Softkit yelled, her claws trying to find a place to sink into while the fox pup pulled her toward its mother, "Help me!"

Before her sister could do much the mother fox sunk her teeth into Softkit's scruff and started shaking her from side to side, up and down. Brookkit watched in terror as blood welled up around her scruff and started to splat on the ground. Every shake Softkit would let out a pained yelp, deciding that the mother fox didn't pick her up as gently as her own mother did.

Strangely, Softkit saw Brookkit run from the den, leaving her behind to the fox.

"No, Brookkit! Don't leave me!" Softkit whispered after her sister, her throat feeling ripped.

New POV, Brookkit

Trying to rescue her sister, Brookkit raced from the den and in the direction of camp. Dovewing was only one warrior, Brookkit knew, and one warrior couldn't defeat a fox. She knew that enough from Lionblaze's stories about chasing foxes off their territory, about how fierce and strong they were and how they took three warriors at least to drive away. Brookkit felt bad about leaving her sister, but what else could she do? She was only a kit.

It felt to Brookkit she had been racing through the forest for a moon before she reached the camp, panting so much it was hard to speak. While she was gasping for air she saw Ivyleaf being attacked by two lumps that she assumed were her brother and sister, and Jayfeather approached her with his blind blue eyes staring at her emotionlessly.

"What's wrong?" Jayfeather asked, his voice catching Ivyleaf's attention. Ivyleaf walked over and licked her kit on the head, smoothing down her ruffled and dirty fur.

"Where's Softkit?"

Brookkit looked worried, her mouth opening with no words coming out. She mumbled for a second before speaking up.

"F-fox!" Brookkit stammered, still catching her breath, "It has h-her! In its d-d-den."

Ivyleaf looked like she was ready to go charging off through all the Clans together to get to Softkit. She growled and raced over to Firestar, who had just seen the commotion and was padding towards them. By this time Lionblaze, Dustpelt, and a few other warriors were already surrounding Brookkit, so Ivyleaf had to plow through the cats just to talk to Firestar.

"We need to send out a patrol to rescue Softkit!" Ivyleaf told Firestar frantically.

"Of course. Lionblaze, Dustpelt, Blossomfall, and Ivyleaf, follow Brookkit's trail to her sister and the fox. Save Softkit before driving away the fox, if you can," the leader instructed, his tail pointing to each of the warriors as he named them, "Now go."

Brookkit watched in vain as her mother raced off after the tails of her patrol, praying to StarClan that she had done the right thing by getting help, and not staying to save her sister.

"You wouldn't have been much help," Jayfeather pointed out with a flick of his tail as he walked away, leaving Brookkit confused and sad.

New POV, Ivyleaf

Ivyleaf had no idea that Dovewing had been the one to put her kits in danger. She and the patrol slipped into the fox's den, Ivyleaf in such a rage she ran through the others and straight into the fox. Softkit lay at the fox's feet, her fluffy white body motionless and slick with blood. Just as Firestar said, Ivyleaf grabbed her kit and booked it out of the den before the fox could react.

Right as the fox did react, Lionblaze was ready to meet it. He came from the den and lured the fox into the open, away from where Ivyleaf had taken Softkit. He, Dustpelt, and Blossomfall circled the fox, swiping blows at it as Ivyleaf watched from afar, licking her kits fur to get her to wake up.

"Please, Sofkit," Ivyleaf begged her youngest kit, licking her fur. "Wake up."

No sound came from the bundle of fur. With a snarl, Ivyleaf leaped up from her position beside her kit and ran into battle, charging the fox's side. Blossomfall had just taken a nip at the fox's leg, so it was distracted snapping it's jaws at her to notice the she-cat throwing herself into its side. The fox stumbled for a moment before turning its head to bite at the cat.

At the same moment Dustpelt bit its tail, and the fox yowled in pain. Lionblaze took this as his chance to spring on the fox's turned neck, biting it as hard as he could. Blossomfall did a complicated move as she swiped at its belly before sliding out from under the fox as it dropped onto its belly to rid itself of her. Meanwhile Ivyleaf batted at its head, trying to claw out its eyes.

The fox shook Lionblaze off, though it could not free itself of Dustpelt. With a growl of rage, the fox ran from the scene, bleeding all over. Ivyleaf didn't bother to chase it as the other warriors, instead slinking back into the den to finish one last deed. A pup barked from within, hunger sounding in its voice.

"A pup for a kit."

With a quick bite of her jaws, Ivyleaf killed one of the fox's pups, vengeance racing through her veins. In a mad rage she killed the other as well, and then leaped above ground to run over to her dead kit. If it had not been for all the blood and lack of breathing, Softkit could have been sleeping. Her throat tightening, Ivyleaf grabbed her kit by her already bloody scruff and went on her way to the stream on the border with WindClan, washing the blood from Softkit's bloodied fur.

It took no time for Ivyleaf to reach camp where she set down her kits body and went into the nursery, too grieved to look at her. For how long she sat there, she didn't know. It seemed like forever. Ivyleaf lay like that for awhile until Jayfeather entered the nursery with Brookkit, Emberkit, and Owlkit behind him.

"Leave." Ivyleaf stated blandly, her voice hard. "Just go. Let Ferncloud take care of them."

"No," Jayfeather meowed, "Come with me to my den. The kits will stay here."

Not making eye contact with her kits, Ivyleaf trudged from her nest to the medicine cat den, where Softkit's body lay in a nest. Yowling in grief, Ivyleaf said, "I've had so much training, two mentors, and yet I couldn't save her from one fox."

Jayfeather looked her right in the eyes- a strange thing for a blind cat to do.

"She's not dead. Softkit woke up while you were sulking. I've already treated her, and I'm almost positive she'll make it."

Ivyleaf's eyes widened, and she caught her breath. Her kit was alive? With all the blood, how could it be possible?

"I talked to her while you were moping away- well, we sort of spoke." Jayfeather, despite his usual sarcastic attitude, looked uncomfortable.

"What? What's wrong?"

"Softkit can't speak," Jayfeather told her. "And I don't think she will. Ever."

I couldn't let her get out completely unscathed. Did ya like the compromise I made, guys? I think it's a good idea, and it won't interfere tooooo much. Anyone wonder where Tigerheart was during this tragic event? So with Softkit's warrior name… You have choices…

1. Softsong

2. Softlight

3. Softwhisper

4. Softwing

5. Softheart

So please, don't give me any more suggestions but just vote on these (unless. Tell me which one you like, and if you think Softkit should be a warrior or a medicine cat. Did you like this chapter and the way things turned out? I know a lot of you were like, DIE KIT, and others were like, DON'T KILL A POOR KIT so I did something in between… kinda.

Have an awesome December and happy New Years!
