Goldencloud watched as the kit's played in the nursery, she was tired and wanted to go out so she got to her paws "greykit, silverkit, come on, were going out" She herded the kit's out of the nursery with her tail and towards the camp entrance.
"Out where?" asked Greykit, jumpy with curiosity and excitement
"To the forest" Goldencloud mewed simply
"really?" mewed Silverkit "can we go hunting? or climb a tree? or maybe we could go fishing like ravenflight" She babbled on, listing all the possible things they could do
Goldencloud purred as the kits bounded ahead into the forest. It was quiet, with only the sound of the wind rattling the leaves on the trees and the singing of the birds to break the silence. She sighed and took a deep breath, taking in the familiar scents of the prey and earth, smiling as she watched the kit's play among the undergrowth. She found a sunny spot and lay down, the sunlight warming her fur, turning it gold. For a while she just lay there, listening to the birds, until suddenly the chirping stopped and the forest went eerily quiet. She stiffened and scented the air "kits come here" she called. When they came she stood up and shoved them behind her. No sooner had she done this when she heard a low, hungry growl. She whipped her head around and came face to face with a large, female fox. It's jaws where parted and it was drooling, foam showing at the corners of its mouth. In it eyes was a crazy rage that no normal animal could posses. She started shaking and her own fear scent became mixed in with that of her kit's. her fur stood on end and she hissed, keeping herself between it and the kit's. The fox lunged and grabbed her by the throat, the second it touched her she knew there was no hope of chasing it off on her own. She clawed viciously at it's eyes and muzzle until it dropped her. Already she was feeling weak from loss of blood when it lunged again. This time it grabbed her back and she heard a sickening snap as it crushed her spine. When it dropped her she fell to the ground a thump and lay there, alive but unable to move, so that she could do nothing but watch as the fox went for her kits.
Greykit was frozen with fear as his mother tried to fight the fox, when she fell his only thought was to help protect his sister. He hissed and spat in the fox's face, showing his small teeth. The fox almost seemed to laugh at his attempt and circled, taking it's time, waiting to see if anyone would come. When no-one showed it pounced on Silverkit, biting her scruff and lifting her off the ground. She screamed in terror and pain as she dangled helplessly. Greykit pounced and dug his small claws into the fox's leg but was shoved away when it kicked him. His head hit a rock and his vision blurred. he heard a ripping sound and Silverkits scream was cut off, He lifted his head to see her body in two, ripped in half by the fox's jaws. Her eyes stared blankly at him, their usual glow of happiness gone, She was dead. He started to cry and looked around for the fox but it had left, or so he thought. He felt a drop of wetness on his back and looked up, there was the fox,standing over him. It lunged and everything went dark as it crushed his skull between it's jaws.
Goldencloud watched all of this, just barely alive. She she watched to fox walk away, the mangled body's of her kits in it's jaws. A single tear formed at the corner of her eye and slid down her cheek as she took her last shallow breath and died.
(It's soooo gory! I love it!
