The Small outcasts.

"Foxkit! jump! higher, higher!" hissed Waterheart.

The badger had been chased right over the cliff, so now all the cats are trying to get the kits back. Foxkit scambled furiously up the side of the cliff. while Hollykit and Lilykit helped nudge her up. then Foxkit slipped, feeling the ground fly from underneath them. they fall once again into the pit of darkness.

"Hollykit! grab my scruff! Lilykit, grab Hollykit's scruff!" Foxkit cried.

Then Foxkit felt a soft voice whisper in her ear, "Don't fight with fear young Foxkit, fight with dignitty."

Foxkit frowned as she felt her scruff being tugged by an extra mouth. other than Hollykit's. the weight was to much, so she couldn't breath. finally she felt the ground underpaw. and looked up at her rescuer. the cat.

"Wait! don't go! i said wait!" Foxkit stammered breathlessly.

The other cat raced off into the trees, Foxkit darted after him. Lilykit and Hollykit follow. "Wait i said! stop!" Foxkit yowled.

The cat stopped abruptly and whipped his around to stare at his followers. he backed away slowly, the cliffs near him rattled at his weight. "Please don't tell The Tribe! they'll kill me!" pleaded the cat.

"The Tribe? the-the what now?" Foxkit stammered.

"I've said to much... please move! i-i, no!" rustling sounded behind the kits. they turned to see three cats bound over. one was Dustysky, but the others looked unfamiliar. and strange... their scent smelt JUST like the rescuer.

"Red sea! help me!" pleaded the rescuer.

Red sea stared angrily at him, "Rusty! what are you doing so near the edge of that cliff?! and why are you even here? i told you to stay at camp!"

Rusty lowered his head, "I'm sorry." then the ground collasped under his feet.

Red sea screeched and lept over to help Rusty. she lifted him up and darted back in a new direction. "Hurry! grab the prisoner and run!!! the cliff is going to fall!!!"

"What? the" Foxkit growled as the second cat grabbed her and began to run. Lilykit and Hollykit were lifted as well as they darted away. finally they were dropped inside a small camp. it was surrounded by walls of stone. it shone brightly like crystals. a broad shouldered cat stepped up and frowned at the cats, "Red sea. what are you doing back so early? what did you find? is The Fangs chasing you!?" he asked alarmingly.

"No Crooked Stone... of course not. we found Rusty, and the final cliff has... has fallen..."

Crooked Stone sighed, his eyes wide with alarm, "Already!? but it's to soon! we don't have enough prey worthy cats! atleast not yet!"

Red sea smiled, "Ah, but yes. that is the good news, you see. we found perfect bait while we were out."

Dustysky's eyes clouded with fear, Foxkit frowned. What was The Fangs? and who was the bait? they don't enough what? so many questions... but what if they're never answered? she thought.

"I see... perfect. now make them comfortable. i'll make sure they have a nice sleep."

Dustysky yowled, "What do you mean comfortable!? you're gonna kill us!"

Crooked Stone frowned, "Well. we won't kill you, never would we. but i know who will."

Dustysky collasped on the floor of the cave, exhausted by the run here. Crooked Stone stared at him, waiting for one false move, "Stay there. there is the pile of fresh kill beside you. stay plump, and healthy."

"Why do you care!?" Dustysky rounded on him.

Crooked Stone sighed, "I am tired. Red sea shall explain everything. Red sea!" he called.

A large pursian lifted her head from the corner of the room. Her fur was matted with dry blood as though she had been through a fight lately. but the smell of it smelt nothing like her, more like terrified cats being murdered. from kit to elder. "Yes Crooked Stone?"

"The prisoners have questions. answer them while i rest." he answered kurtly.

Red sea stretched her legs and padded up toward Dustysky, "So you have questions. tell them."

Dustysky snarled but began, "Who's "The Fangs?" that sounds so... weird."

Red sea hissed difiantly, "Weird!? you do not know what he is capable of! murder every few moons!! picking up a few cats each time as fresh kill. we are in grave danger, and my tribe isn't going to die. you will."

"What do you mean by that road kill!?" Dustysky snarled.

"I mean you're the offering to "The Fangs" and just so you know, the Fangs is a large mountain cat. with teeth so long that they could murder a cat by simply touching them with it."

Dustysky felt a tremor of fear run through him at the thought of dieing in the jaws of the thick ugly warrior. Red sea looked at him carefully, then frowned, "You're awfully skinny arn't you?"

"Yeah. what do you care?" Dustysky asked.

Red sea rolled her eyes and pushed a piece of fresh kill to him, "Eat. or you won't be good enough for The Fangs."

Dustysky suddenly relized how hungry he was, so he took a bite. Foxkit stared at him angrily as Red sea left, "Why didn't you try to kill her!?" she demanded.

"Kill her!? i-i must not be thinking straight. arn't you scared?" Dustysky asked miserably admitting his fear to a kit.

"Scared? i- well... yes." Foxkit sdded sadly.

Hollykit brushed her sister's flank with her tail, "We'll get through this alive. a moon from now is when The Fangs will come. we'll have plenty of time to prepare. plenty."

[Major and Junie]

wow cant wait to see what happens when fangs comes!

[daz]

i know right?! it's gonna be good!

[daz]

"Greetings Dustysky and friends. i'm Shiver. Shiver where the moon shines brightest is the full part. please call me Shiver. i'm Rusty's sister. welcome to The Tribe of the sacred stones. this is the fighting session for defeating The Fangs. pay attention strange forset cats, you don't understand how to fight." Shiver meowed.

Dustysky and the kits were learning how to battle The Fangs. Shiver, Rusty, and Red sea were mentoring them. "What do you mean we don't know how to fight!? we know how to fight very well! watch this!"

Rusty's eyes stretched wide as Dustysky charged at him, "Uoof!" he puffed.

"And pinned... easy." Dustysky growled.

Rusty went limp, obviously giving up. Dustysky thought. so he let out a yowl of triumph and aimed a bite at his tail. but Rusty sprang up and pinned him down first, "Pinned. even easier."

Red sea smiled at her apprentice as he lept off of Dustysky. Dustysky yowled and charged Rusty to the ground and bit him on the shoulder. Red sea lept on top of him, "Leave your energy over to The Fangs! when the day comes, he'll need all of his skills available. and that's soon."
