This is a story i wrote for another site.....tell me what you think!
The bloodcurdling screech of a clans battle cry clouded the air. Cats swiftly leaped down the rocky slope, lean, lithe figures with claws like hawk talons. Well shaped, fierce cats with muscles rippling beneath moon-lit pelts.
Claws glinted, eyes blazed with fury as the felines flung themselfs into battle. More cats came, hurtling into the blood-stained clearing. A wave of angry, terrifing warriors, each one well equiped with fighting skills that were un-matched.
In the bushes, a tom huddled three kits in the shadows,the helpless bundles shivering at his honey-golden paws. The toms heart raced as more cats invaded his camp. This was all that was left of his clan, the rest were dead. Queens, elders, warriors, apprentices, even medicine cats had been slaughtered. All that remained was the clans leader and three kits.
The tom, was a large cat with the name of Goldenstar. He was a large, strong and loyal cat. He had lost eight of his lives trying time and time again to protect his clan, but it was no good. He had one life, and he would use it now, just to protect these last hopes of the clans future.
Another invader passed the bushes, but the cat was to busy to notice them. He gulped nervously as yet even more raced pass, thier faces twisted with darkness and fury.
The kits slunk lower as a huge, muscular jet-black pelted tom padded a whisker away from the bush.
Suddenly, the tom leaped at them, Goldenstar wailed in shock as claws raked his back. The kits had scattered now, only one remained, Glimmerkit. The massive tom knocked Goldenstar of balance, sending him tumbling to the side of the bush. All his strength was gone, no more was he the powerful leader, no more was he the brave and poweful cat he once was.
The last kit was exposed, Glimmerkit shivered as the black toms amber eyes burned into her as he gazed down at the she-cat. He stepped closer, Glimmerkit un-sheathed her acute claws, if she was to die, she would fight before she could be brang down. Closer the dark tom came, his fangs bared in a new sence of blood-lust. Gimmerkit shut her eyes and prepared herslef of pain.
Crash!
A wail of cats
'' I wil die before i see Glimmerkit perish!''
Glimmerkit heard Goldenstar's brave words, as she slowly opened her eyes to see Goldenstar battling with the tom. Suddenly, the black tom swiftly leaped once more, landing squarly on Goldenstars back. With one bite, it was over, Goldenstar was dead. An silence entered the den. The black tom loomed over Glimmerkit, his eyes blazing. Glimmerkit did the only thing she could do, the only chance she had of surving, she swiped a claw, blood sprayed from the black cats nose, and Glimmerkit leaped, racing away with the speed of starclan.
She was free, no longer was she afraid. Glimmerkit took one last look at her birth home, before running of into the un-known forest.
