if Mapleshade's kits lived

Chapter 28

The tortoiseshell got up again. Patchstar gazed up at her. "so you gave up so soon?" Patchstar growled, but then coughed. "you will never win!"

He croaked. "oh, really?" What was she talking about? Patchstar lunged and leaped at her. "you won't win!" he repeated loudly.

"MapleClan, attack!" The cats came herding torward Mapleshade. Patchstar raked his claws across Mapleshade's thigh.

Larch tugged at her front paw. "that's for killing Petal's kits!" he hissed, Patchstar sank his teeth into her scruff.

Mapleshade grinned. "that barely hurts!" she hissed. Patchstar knew they had to retreat, but a strange voice told him to continue.

"fight harder!" Fred sank his teeth into Mapleshade's thick white tail, making it bleed hard.

Patchstar bit down at Mapleshade's ear. "Dumb, outsiders!" Mapleshade spat.

Patchstar wrestled Mapleshade as she called them a name, and tugged her tail until he felt a tear.

Pain and agony waved through him, this was his mother.

Mapleshade sank her teeth into his back and kicked him off.

Larch shook with anger and ripped Mapleshade's shoulder, "get away from all of my siblings!"

He was tearing her pelt, snarling, biting, scratching.

He grabbed her scruff and flung her into a tree and slammed her into it twenty times.

He slapped her five times and gave her a bloody nose, then slammed her into a boulder seven times.

He grabbed a peice of bark and started stabbing her in the legs.

Mapleshade leaped and grabbed Larch's scruff and slammed his head into a tree.

Patchstar struggled up and slammed her head into a tree and kicked her belly, chomping her fur.

then he sank his teeth into her ear.

Mapleshade ripped his shoulder fur off and threw him into a treehole.

Larch was behind her and he grabbed her scruff and tossed her into a treehole and scratched her nose.

"you deserve to die!" he grabbed her ear and cuffed it until he slammed her head into the same tree.

He did it until Mapleshade wriggled free, Larch caught up and swung her into a boulder.

"you stupid fowl, idiot, that'll keep her life gone, let's rest."
