TW: Gore

"For WillowClan!" you scream, launching yourselves at the two cats. You target the larger one, biting her leg with your sharp teeth. Sparrowkit reluctantly emerges from behind you and unsheathes his claws.

"Hey, stop that," says the larger cat, shaking you off and sending you flying to the ground. "We're just travellers passing through."

You get up, your back arched and your fur bristling. "Die, rogue scum!" you hiss.

You look at Sparrowkit, signalling for him to attack again. He nods and he leaps on the rogue kit, and starts shredding at their pelt. "Shadow, help!" screeches the kit. You pounce at the cat called Shadow, claws unsheathed and ready to save the day like in all of those nursery tales.

But life isn't a nursery tale. Shadow's eyes narrow, going from confused to deadly in the blink of an eye. She sidesteps you and bites Sparrowkit hard on the back of the neck. You find yourself frozen in horror as your friend's body kicks and twists, trying to break free. His movements get ever more feeble as she bites down harder, then at last he falls still. Shadow drops Sparrowkit's body in front of you, his dead eyes staring at you, forever frozen in a look of anguished terror. "This is the part where you run," says Shadow softly.

Every part of you screamed to run, to escape and live another day. But when you looked at Sparrowkit's body, a new energy, a new rage filled your body. You started to charge and Shadow, too angry to make a sound. You leapt at her, getting in a scratch on her muzzle before her claws dug into your soft belly.

You let out an ear splitting screech as you feel something break when you hit the ground. You try to struggle up but you can't do anything but flail your legs desperately. "Wolf, let's get out of here! The clan cats are sure to have heard that," Shadow hisses and Wolf follows. They give you a sorrowful look, as if in another life they wished you two could have been friends. Then both rogues disappear into the brush and the woods return to normal, as if they were never here.

Your eyes grow wide with horror when you see the deep slashes to your stomach. Blood pours out of your wounds as mew desperately for help. But a part of you knows it's already too late. You look at Sparrowkit and start to cry. It wasn't supposed to end up like this, you're not ready to die! You've got so much to live for, hopes and dreams, friends and family! You stare up at the sky. No, you decide, StarClan wouldn't be so cruel. This is just a bad dream. Your vision starts to grow blurry as you smile and close your eyes, ready to wake up to Brindleclaw's warm embrace.

A while later, a patrol finds your and Sparrowkit's corpses being picked apart by crows. Your face is still frozen in a smile.
