The Forgotten Vision

No! Please, not the kits!" a shrill yelp shrieked, making the air dence, her lungs seemed too shallow to catch a breath. A pretty dark brown she cat with creamy brown swirls blocked the way to her kit's, her golden eyes narrowed.

"I won't let you take my kits!" Heather hissed, her claws scraping the ground. The kits behind her shook violently, Their eyes wide. One creamy brown kit pressed closer to his brother, his eyes focused on his mother. An agitated sigh split the air before a large battle scarred tom jumped from the dumpster down to the concrete, his green gaze sharp. Orbs flickered to a dark grey tabby, who's purple eyes eyes shied away from the situation. Skat flicked his tail to him, his eyes narrowing to slits.

"He chose to join the group, and he must pay the price." He spat, his green eyes like broken glass. Colby closed his eyes, shaking his head slowly. Heather snapped her head to the grey toms, her eyes unwavering as she wrapped her tail around the two kits.

"Colby, let's GO." She urged, her voice pleading. The dark tabby Tom that goes by 'Colby' shook his head, his purple eyes sorrowful. He lifted his head slightly, looking at his mate with regretful eyes. Skat's muscles rippled impatiently, a shallow growl escaping his throat. Colby's eyes flickered to the ginger tom but back to his mate, his tail twitching.

"This is the only way to be safe, let them go." He mewed, his eyes shifting to the brown kits behind the mother, not an ounce of remorse traced in his eyes. She snarled, tail lashing. She held his gaze for a moment, gold and purple. Letting out a shaky breath,head lowered to the ground, as if looking for answers. Her head shot back up, eyes unwavering as she glared at Colby then shifting them to the battle scarred tom. She opened her mouth and said three simple words.

"Take me instead."
