Warriors: A Dark Sun

Chapter 43

          Lilymist flailed around trying to get the attacker off. She hissed and spat at them. This only made them angrier. They curled their claws around her shoulders and shook. Her head bounced around and hit the ground causing her to become dizzy. Everything became a swirling, dark nothing. Her eyes rolled back.  She thought she smelled something familiar and opened her eyes wide. Lilymist studied the face of her attacker carefully until she recognized them.

"Lionscar! What are you doing? Why are you doing this!" She screeched. The tom chuckled and shifted his weight so she couldn't move, but he could comfortably sit. She gasped and his rear end sat firmly on her exposed belly. Lionscar calmly cleaned his face while staring at her.

"Are you crazy? Get off me, you useless lump!" She hissed. He glared at her and unsheathed his claws. He stuck one into her chest ever so slowly, as if a lot of thought had gone into this move. She snarled at him and tried flailing, but his weight stopped it.

"Oh shut up. I barely touched you." He apathetically meowed. She looked down her nose at her chest and saw he was right.

"This is my favourite part." He squealed like a little kit. "You listen and I'll tell my story, deal." Lionscar waved his tail excitedly. She stared at her brother in horror.

"Deal?!" He snarled and pushed his face closer to hers. She fearfully nodded. He relaxed and raised a claw to her eye.

"I could do exactly what I've been wanting to for moons. Scar your face so you look like me." He meowed wistfully and he appeared to be day dreaming until he looked back at her in fury.

"I won't though. Not quite yet. You will watch Olivenose and the kits be destroyed by ThunderClan first." Lionscar whispered.

"You arranged this?" She softly meowed. Lionscar chuckled and thrust his face into hers again.

"No this was all coincidental. It just worked out in my favour." He happily purred. He's gone mad! Lilymist stared at him in fear. She started quivering and her eyes went wide.

"No need to fear me. If you cooperate I'll make sure it was painless." He soothed. He licked in between her ears like a queen comforting her kit after a nightmare. He stared at her thoughtfully and then lightning quick, he reached his paw out and scratched her left eye. She howled in agony and flailed around again.

"I can't see! What have you done! What have you done!?" She screeched. Her left eye was bloody and torn. Lionscar wiped away the blood with his paw then purred.

"A nice clean slice. Perfect work if I do say so myself." He seemed proud of himself. What kind of cat is proud of mutilating his kin? Lilymist fearfully curled her tail around her hind legs. Lionscar looked at her with a ferocity that terrified her.

"Your yowls might attract attention and we can't have that now can we? Dear deputy, do you have anything to say?" He meowed, his voice sweet as honey.

"When I scarred you I must have scarred your heart. My brother would never do this to me. My brother loves his family!" She spat. Lionscar looked briefly taken aback. His eyes then hardened and his lips curled into a snarl.

"Then you don't know your brother that well." He raised his paw ready to strike when something shot out of the bushes and rolled him into the ground. Lilymist tried sitting up then fell back to the ground feeling dizzy from bloodloss. She saw flashes of action through her right eye. Sunfrost had come to her rescue. Blink. Lionscar's limp body lying beside a tree. Blink. Sunfrost dragging her through the night while yowling echoes from the battle with ThunderClan. Blink. Olivenose abandoning his fight with Badgerpool to run to his mate's side. He screamed her name, but she barely heard him. Blink. She's in the medicine den lying next to a black cat and two brown cats. Icestar, Sparrowleaf and Skygaze.
