A Fatal Mistake

[-.NighTSighT.-]

Carmine orbs- the color of blood, fell upon the bloody hip of matted black fur that was his brother. In utter shock, eyes widened, his jaws parted as if wanting to wail all the sorrows of his little heart, but no sound emerged from him. Ignoring the squabbling among his sister and the she-cat, he approached awkwardly toward Shadowkit, almost stumbling on his trembling paws. He bent down burrowing his orange nose, tears silently soaking his tabby cheeks, but he realized that he was still alive, he didn't smell the sour scent of death. Tigerkit licked his brother gently, "You have to be clean brother.. you have to live." He murmured half-heartedly, inhaling sharply trying to contain his tears.

He sustained his entire weight now, meaning that he had left the so coveted safety of the floor, as his thin long hindlegs kicked the air with force, struggling against the hawk, to difficulty its flight. Currents of air coming from the flutter of wing his body size, ruffled his flaming fur, but he had no desire to die just now, he needed to see his kits become warriors, and he needed to serve the clan. He bit hard blindly, and a thick warm liquid stained his jaws, the screech of the animal in despair could almost deafen him, and with a strong kick of his talons scent the orange warrior crashing to the ground, and took off.

Dragonflower looked at Tigerkit and meowed softly trying to help the kit cheer up," Your brother is going to be all right." Then she looked at notty little Virtuoskit and meowed," I was only kidding." Dragonflower softly touched Virtuoskit with the tip of her tail.

[Pantherpaw]

As Pantherpaw walked from the nursury, he saw the hawk let go of Khansoul. There was blood, but he couldn't tell whos blood it was. Was it the hawks? More of Shadowkit's? Or was it Khansoul's himself? Pantherpaw ran forward, snarling at the retreating hawk as he went. He'd love to see the hawk try and carry him off. Sometimes, his size was a good thing.

"Khansoul, are you alright?" The apprentice asked, his eyes flitting between the warrior and the hawk.

[~*hawkclaw*~]

Dragonflower gasped at the sight of khansoul. Then she turned to the kit and said," Do you want that to happen to you?" Dragonflower's gaze turned from the nursery to Khansoul and then back to the nursery. She awaited the kit's reply. Dragonflower wondered if that kit will ever under stand that all she is doing is trying to protect the little kit.

Virtuouskit said, "I am going to help fight!" she said and stormed out of the nursery.

(((I am going to kill her here. Me and Khansoul know what to do. And umm.. Dragonflower, can she just stay in the nursery to protect the other cats, thinking the warriors will send virtuouskit back?)))

Jadeeyes looked up at the menacing creatures, their beaks and talons glinting, shining red. She wondered if all of them were going to attack when she was pummeled over by the first hawk. She reared up and bit it's back as it was flying up again.

Tigerkit looked back at Dragonflower and for a heartbeat his scarlet eyes were shadowed with sorrow, but he nodded and looked away, sitting and looking down at his brother helplessly, wiping his own tears away. He noticed his sister yowling loudly, and realizing what she said he meowed after her, "Don't! I don't want you to end like Shadowkit!"

The impact of the fall had left him momentarily unconscious, but the hight hadn't been enough to kill him. The warrior laid were he had crashed, eyes closed, his muscles sore and burning inside his body. He heard Pantherpaw's voice, and too dignified to stay in that condition forced himself to his paws, that awkwardly stumbled with the dizziness of the fall. Fatigued he licked the hawk's blood from his muzzle, and nodded to the apprentice to show he was fine, although he didn't feel that great. He closed his yellowish orbs and in a heartbeat noticed a tortoiseshell lump of fur rushing outside the nursery. "Virtuoskit!?" He rasped.

[{Jade]

((We will only have one hawk, no battle))

Jadeeyes looked up and watched all the hawks fly away, except for one. With a flash of white and brown it scooped up her exposed kit. With a scream she tried to fight it, but it held firmly to her back. Jadeeyes pelted after it, telling someone to watch her kits while she was gone. She looked to her side and saw another cat with her, running.

[~*hawkclaw*~]

Dragonflower let her go. The other warrriors will send her back, she thought. When the little kit dashed away, a hawk got interested. Dragonflower saw it swoop lower and lower untill it was a tail length away. Dragonflower dashed at the murderous hawk and clawed it's side. The hawk turned it's attendtio from Virtuoskit to Dragonflower. The hawk sunk it's already red talons in to Dragonflower's neck. She hissed in pain as she fought it away. The hawk flew away from her and in to the sky it went. Blood was dripping from the hawk as it rose stedily in to the chily air. Dragonflower limped badly back to the nursery. With every step/limp Dragonflowwer took, a trail of blood followed. Her neck was bleeding badly but see didn't care. must help kits, she kept reminding her self.

[{Jade]

(((Night, pwease post with Khansoul running after it with Jade liek we said... pleaseeeeth)))

[~*hawkclaw*~]

Dragonflower told the kits," Hawks are dangerous so stay away from them till you are older and stronger, o.k?" Then she sat up and started to lick her wounds from the blood thirsty hawk.

[{Jade]

Virtuouskit called from above, "Mommy! Daddy! Help me!" she cried and her sobs echoed throughout the clan. The hawks wounds, made it stay near the ground, with the added kit's weight. "Mommy! It hurts!"

[~*hawkclaw*~]

Dragonflower turned her head and saw Virtuoskit in the air held up by a hawk. Her wounds hurt but see had to try to save the kit. Dragonflower fought back the tears as she managed to stand up. She limp/ jog as fast as she could. Her limp slowed her down a lot but see pressed on.

[-.NighTSighT.-]

His vision was blurred by fatigue, but unmistakably that was his daughter. The next thing he knew was that he was running besides Jadeeyes after his kit, not knowing how or when he had got the strength to stand and run. "Virtuoskit!" He yowled furiously, his orange pelt contrasting with that of his black mate, both flank to flank chasing after their tortoiseshell kit.

[{Jade]

(((Ummm... I have it undeer control hawk, thanks, but like I said before she gunna die. Jade and Khansoul... I guess Jade now... will attack the hawk and carry her daughter to be buried because she is going to die))))


Jadeeyes leaped up onto the hawks back once she came hawlfway through the territory, at a good angle. Her kit and the hawk came to the ground and with a final bite, she killed the hawk. Her kit was under the body and she pushed, to roll the hawk over to reach her daughter. She listened intensely for a heartbeat and there was none left. "Noo!!" jadeeyes wailed to the sky. Its my bad luck! she cried in her mind. Her sobs wracked her body as she carried her only daughter back to camp. She laid the body gently on a rock in the center.

Dragonflower was loosing a lot of blood and she was getting tired. She had bearly any energy left. In eshuastion, Dragonflower colapsed. She lay there in the blood redin soil that was now turning in to mud. Dragonflower was not aware of the scenery around her. She didn't know if she was going to die or live, or be wounded forever.
