"Who are you?"

'Your worst nightmare'

"That's nice"

...

A small frail chocolate she was sprawled on a stone. Her pelt had not one tabby stripe and her green eyes stared at the sky, sparkling with tears. Water sprayed at her pelt and a sigh came from her open maw.

On the shore, two tomcats were seated. One had light brown fur with darker brown tabby stripes and amber eyes. He wore a cold and almost lifeless expression.

The other was a light brown tabby with a white chin and stomach, connected with a white patch on the chest. His eyes were a pale green colour like the rough skin of a lime. Some may say they were captivating.

"Shall we?" The amber eyed tom meowed, turning his head to his brown furred companion.

"We shall" The green eyed tom said, getting to his paws.

As if they were siamese twins, in complete sync they leapt to a stone, jumping from rock to rock. The green eyed tom landed on the stone that the small brown she was laying on.

The brown tabby leapt to her paws, claws instinctively coming out. The two toms stood with shoulders touching.

"Who are you?"

"Your worst nightmare" They mewed together, eyes ablaze.

"That's nice" The she mewed, unfazed by the male feline's words.

"We are Earth and Bracken" They mewed again in sync. "And you are called Oakpaw. Correct?"

"Yes" Oakpaw mewed, meeting Bracken's gaze. The green eyed tom blinked as he watched her movements, even the flick of her tail and the twitch of her whiskers.

"We are friends of Gravelclaw. He wants his kits" Earth mewed, the same expressionless look on his face like a mask.

"What?!" Oakpaw exclaimed, fur bristling as her face contorted into a vicious snarl. "Tell him that I said never. My kits will not go to that vile excuse of a cat!"

"I'm afraid that we had orders to retrieve those kittens" Bracken said "Bouncekit and Softkit right? And sweet little Payton. The one you gave to Viker correct?"

"How do you know about Payton?" Lakepaw questioned, hostility flashing in her narrowed green eyes.

"We know alot of things" Bracken mewed simply, irritation shadowing his dull green eyes.

"And we also know that of you don't give us those kits, we have permission to kill you and take the kits." Earth hissed softly.

"So. What will it be?" Earth and Bracken said together, unsheathing their claws in sync. It made them have such a menacing aura.

"Never" Oakpaw snarled, preparing to pounce from the stone to her clan territory.

"So be it" The pair hissed.

It was a swift job. The two made sure of that. As Oakpaw was about to jump, Earth darted forth, clamping his jaws on her right forepaw. He yanked her forward and Bracken swiped his sharp talon like claws. The shredded her neck swiftly.

Oakpaw fell to the stone and spluttered. Crimson seeped though the deep wound in her throat. It stained her fur and poured out onto the grey rock.

"Well that was simple" Earth mewed, closing her glassy green eyes with a now sheathed paw.

"Now to find the kittens" Bracken mewed, looking to his companion.

"To Shoreclan?" Earth said, tilting his head. It made him look not innocent but more disturbing. Blood from her paw was smeared around his maw.

"To Shoreclan" Bracken mewed.

And with that, they darted from rock to rock then into the reeds, disappearing into Shoreclan territory...
