Shadowsky's Tale

Introduction - Getting to know the family

Third Person POV
      In a small makeshift den, just outside of Lightclans territory, laid a new mother of 4. Her soft, cream fur, shown slightly in the entrance to the night, her beautiful sky blue eyes looked at entrance, hopeful of these kits fathers safe return. She would look down as the 4 squirmed around her makeshift nest. Her ears perked as she heard some rustling outside the den, her tail quickly covered over her kits in protection of them.
      A figure stepped into the den that was only lit by the light of the full moon, on a cold leafbare night. She could make out the broad shoulders of a cat but was unsure if he was friend or foe. Prey was dropped at her mouth and she knew who it was, she didn't say a word as she began to naw on the skinny squirrel he had caught.
      "Did you name them yet?" The male cat asked, his face could be slightly seen from the moon light. He was sitting across the small den, watching the 4 kittens sleep and their mother eat. He had noticed one was very hard for him to see, and he assume it was because its fur was jet black.
      "No, I haven't yet Dexter, I was waiting for you" the mother replied, a small smile as she passed the rest of the squirrel to him to finish off. He happily did so, looking up every here and there to watch her nudge the kits closer to her for warmth and food.
      "It seems as thought we have a small but beautiful Jet black she-kit, a white Tom with black spots, a golden tabby she-kit, and a snow white she-kit" The mother said, as she looked down a the 4 suckling kits, her tail wrapped around them to keep them warm.
      "You name two, and I'll name two, Marley, that seems fair" Dexter replied and Marley nodded, happy Dexter was taking part in helping her name their children. She used her nose to nudge the white Tom with black spots.
     "He seems like a fighter, his name should be Jinx" She looked up at Dexter, as if signalling his turn to choose a name. Jinx was squirming around his siblings, trying to get food. He easily over powered them since he was the larger of them all.
      "The white she-kit should be Bella" he told her, she nodded and looked over the four, mostly at the still unnamed two. Bella was the second largest of the group. She wasn't giving her food up for anyone, not even her own brother.
      "The golden tabby shall be Gizmo" she replied, she looked at Gizmo and noticed she was the only one who had finished eating, and was snuggling to Marley closely. She was about the same size as Bella, her chest was rising as she slept.
      "Shadow, dark as the night sky and swift as the wind." Dexter said, naming his final daughter. Shadow was much smaller then her siblings, it was very easy to see that. She was very easily over powered by Jinx, causing her to not get much feeding at one time.

      The family seem happy right now, but that was all about to change when Dexter, the father of these 4 beautiful kits, learns just how much power he has over his family.
