~Storm's PoV~
I walked through the forest with my mate, Blaze, and my kit, Feather. We slowly were making our way out of the forest to a lake near a small den, our den then place we met and started a family. Then place we raised Feather for three moons, now after showing Feather the piece of hunting land we had and other things in the forest we were heading back. I smelt the air for signs of other cats that would try to take the tiny piece of territory we had, but instead of smelling cat's I smelled wolves.
"Blaze...get to the den...now..." I said pushing my mate forward.
"What's wrong?" She looked at me with concern.
"I smelled wolves...now take Feather and get to the den now!" I yowled and pushed her forward quickly.
"Wait where's Feather?" She mewed in panick.
A tiny scream and a howl comes from a few trees behind where we sat and I fold my ears.
No no no! Feather no! Not him! Please not my kit no!
I ran to the source of the sound and saw a tiny light gray tom with black stripes on his back and black paws and ears. I jumped onto a big black wolves with a missing green eye and began to claw at it's good eye. The wolf grabbed my leg and thrown me against a tree, I was soon pinned by the wolf and felt his razor sharp teeth in my neck. I saw Blaze fighting two other wolves but Feather was no where to be seen, I looked up at the wolf and soon my vision was blurry. I felt my head hurt and I knew I didn't have much time to live I knew that I would have to leave my mate to raise our son alone.
I'm so sorry Feather...I wish I could teach you how to hunt and fight...but your mother will have to do it for me... I closed my eyes, slowly letting my last breaths out of my lungs and died.

I hid in the bush, never waiting to come out after I watched my dad go limp as a pool of blood surrounded him. I looked at my mom, fighting the two wolves not noticing that her mate was died. I wanted the wolves to be gone and leave her alone...to leave her alive...not to kill her like my father. Tears slowly ran down my cheeks and hit the soft grass as the wolf my dad was killed by grabbed my mother and pinned her. The other wolves grabbed one of her legs, leaving only one leg free to move around. Soon they started to rip the legs off and I heard her yowls of pain, the tears came down more fresher and I watched as a fourth wolf came and curshed her head in his jaws. I turned around and ran for the den, I didn't stop running until I got inside and I was safe in the soft feather rimed nest. I cried until I fell asleep and when I woke up in the morning I left the den, heading into the forest...leaving my home behind and living as a rogue with no family. As I left my home behind I had no idea what I was getting into.
