Hey everyone! OMG, I now have 8 reviews! Yay! Thanks to Kai Lover911 again, and here's my responses:
Pandean-Thanks for your reviews! Yes, it's disgusting, so that's kinda why it's rated T! Birchsong is pretty two-timing!
ReadingAnimeLover-Yes, you can submit OCs for my fanfic! I'll choose the ones I like best. Just PM me/type in a review their name, description, and role you would like in my fanfic.
lillypoppy43-Well, the kits already looked there, so she's not exactly in the nursery, as you will see in this chapter...
letusdance-Nah, Silverstripe is a good she-cat who doesn't cheat on her mate. But nice idea, though!
Okay, onto the story...this chapter may not be as good because I failed to edit.
Glosskit stood at the top of the rock, stunned. Stormkit's words didn't process through her mind. Birchsong. In love. With Palefoot.
"But why?" Ashkit asked, interrupting Glosskit's thoughts.
"He said Palefoot was like a ray of sunshine…and Silverstripe was just a random fling," Stormkit explained.
"A fling?" Glosskit asked in disbelief. "But…they've been together for moons now! Silverstripe said so!"
"Well, maybe she was a really long fling," Ashkit meowed.
"This is so disgusting," Glosskit meowed. "Now, if you don't mind, I will look for Silverstripe on my own." She clambered down the rock and stomped off with her nose in the air.
Stormkit quickly followed, and Ashkit was close at his heels. Glosskit scented something new. She recoiled. Even as a moon-old kit, she recognized the scent of blood.
"Whose blood do you think it is?" Glosskit whispered, following the scent.
"Maybe an enemy warrior?" Stormkit suggested.
"Ooh! We could play Scavenger and find him, then pretend to rescue him but actually bring him to Rosestar!" Ashkit squealed excitedly. Encouraged by the prospect of being heroes, they followed the scent. The ended up breaking through a wall of ferns and entering a clearing. There were trees circling the clearing, surrounding something in the middle of it.
They could never un-see what they saw next.
Silverstripe, beautiful, brave, Silverstripe, was lying on the grass in a pool of blood.
And standing next to her prone body was a black tom with a stinky scent. His jaws were covered in blood. He saw the kits and cackled.
"More prey for me? Wonderful!" The cat pounced.
Glosskit and Stormkit successfully dove away on time. Ashkit was a bit slow and the cat's jaws latched around her hind leg. Ashkit tried to wiggle out of his grip, but he clamped down firmly.
"Glosskit! Stormkit! Help!" Ashkit wailed. The cat laughed.
"No one will help you now," he hissed. His jaws were about to close on Ashkit's neck, but suddenly, Silverstripe, who was supposedly dead, stood up and leaped on the cat's back. Quick as lightning, she dragged the cat off Ashkit, who shivered feebly. They were now batting, claws and blood flying all over the place. Glosskit ran to Ashkit's prone body and licked her gently.
"Ashkit, are you okay?" Glosskit meowed, concerned.
"I think so. But my leg, oh Glosskit, it hurts…so much!" she wailed. Glosskit's attention snapped to Ashkit's leg, which had teeth marks in it and was pooling blood.
"Okay, first we need to clean it," Glosskit said, forcing herself to remain calm. She gently licked Ashkit's hurt leg. Ashkit screeched and nearly clawed Glosskit's face.
"Sorry," she mumbled. Stormkit, who snapped out of his daze rushed over to Ashkit.
"It's okay," he meowed smoothly. "You'll be just fine. The medicine cat will fix you up, and we'll all be happy." Raising his head, he let out the most ferocious and the loudest howl Glosskit ever heard. He kept howling while Silverstripe battled with the cat. But she couldn't keep her speed for long. She was still a queen, and her battle skills were rusty at best. Her strikes and leaps were getting slower and sloppier, and she was getting more and more injured. Help had to come, and fast.
Without thinking twice, Glosskit shrieked as loud as she could, "HELP US!"
For a few seconds, nothing seemed to happen. Then she heard paw steps. Slowly, the paw steps got louder, and Birchsong, Palefoot, and Raingaze burst into the clearing. They immediately helped Silverstripe. Birchsong dragged the cat off her, while Palefoot and Raingaze slashed him. The kits stood in shock. Suddenly, the cat rose into the air.
"You might have beaten me this time, but I'll always be watching," he hissed. Then he just disappeared.
The kits screamed. The warriors acted like this was nothing new. Birchsong's face was grim.
"Silverstripe, are you okay?" he asked, his voice suddenly full of love and concern. He started licking Silverstripe's matted and bloody fur. Silverstripe didn't shake him off. She looked dazed and scared. Glosskit narrowed her eyes. What on earth was happening now? Was Birchsong going to play pretend-love to Silverstripe?
"Yes, I'm fine," Silverstripe managed to get out, before collapsing on the ground.
Oooh, drama again! What's up with Birchsong? Which couple do you ship better, Birchsong x Silverstripe or Birchsong x Palefoot? I will probably post a Birchsong x Palefoot one-shot about her apprentice moons. You'll see their backstory...then you can tell me who you ship. One-shot is coming up in probably a week!
QOTC: Why do you think Birchsong "loves" Palefoot?
See you later! Bye!
