~~
"Tawnysplay! It's good to see you again," the white and dark brown tom looked at the Tawny tortoiseshell with his slitted yellow eyes. "What do I owe the pleasure to?"
"An attack." Tawnysplay answered simply. "I need your rouge group to come with me and fight with RiverClan. I don't need anyone dead but I do need someone in the nursery with me. I have sown business to take care of that will require an extra paw."
Mackerel nodded his broad white and borne head. "Mackerel Slashes! To me!"
Tawnysplay was intrigued by the calling. She'd never heard the name, but Mackerel Slashes has a nice rig to it. Cats slinked from the shadows.
"Today we follow Tawnysplay's orders. She says we are to come with her to a 'RiverClan' and attack them. She needs an extra paw to help him n the nursery, and I'll go with her. Is that clear?"
The cats nodded, one split-faced tom spoke up. "Yes sir!" Followed by yowls of approval.
Mackerel nodded. "Then away we shall go!"
Tawnysplay could hear the battle ringing around her as she rushed to the RiverClan nursery, guided by the milky scent. Mackerel tan beside her, his ears perked to listen to her command. They entered the den, and Tawnysplay was reprieved to see that it was only Murkyspark and her kits. She flicked a gray tortoiseshell ear to signal her companion to tackle the pale brown she-cat. Mackerel reacted immediately, pinning Murkyspark in a matter of heartbeats.
Tawnysplay stepped towards the cowering kittens, hearing a threatening hiss from their mother, quickly smothered by dirt as Mackerel pressed her face into the dirt. The she-cat's green eyes glittered with hatred. Tawnysplay was surprised as she felt anger well inside of her, injustice, she may say, for Mapleshade. It scare dher, but she shook it out.
She yanked Petalkit's pale brown bundle from the trio first, shoving the kits into the dirt. "This is for Mapleshade's kit, Petalkit!" She remembered how Mapleshade had said Petalkit would grow into a mighty warrior known for her strong bite. She bit down in the half of the kit's neck until she heard a crunch. She threw the kit away, getting a growl from Murkyspark as she pulled out a dark ginger tom with a blue-gray mask and the same color of bands on his tail. "This is for Mapleshade's kit Larkkit!" She remember Mapleshade had said that he would have grown to be a great leader, known for winning many battles. Tawnysplay slashed her Claws repeatedly along his pelt, crisscrossing some. A wail of despair rose from Murkyspark's throat as Tawnysplay pulled the last kit, blue-gray with brown paws. "This one. It for Mapleshade's kit Patchkit." She remembered Mapleshade talking about how Patchkit would have been a wonderful medicine cat. Something inside her just snapped. The only thing she could think was that this kit needed the worst death of them all.
She slammed her paw down on the small kit's trembling back legs as hard as she could before she sliced her claws over his back. Something savage inside her made her claws slash over Tom's already-bound eyes. Lastly, Tawnysplay took the bleeding kit's head in her paws and twisted it to and unnatural position, hearing a snap.
"Mackerel, get off of her," she ordered, "I'll take it from here."
As soon as the tom was off of her, Murkyspark was running at Tawnysplay, half-coins with rage. Her strikes were desperate and angry, and the Tawny tortoiseshell easily dodged. No claw was laid on her, but claws marks crossed all over her body. The pale brown she-cat didn't give up. As she lunged for Tawnysplay, the tortoiseshell ducked, bursting her muzzle up and biting down around Murkyspark's pale brown throat. Half-suffocated wails came form the queen's mouth, but eventually ended as Tawnysplay threw her to the ground.
"You monster!" Tawnysplay has not one to react as a weight crashe fonto her, not giving her any mercy or time. She felt jaws close around the back of her neck, forcing themselves closer and closer together until snap!
Everything went dark.
The forest Tawnysplay recognized all too well, but as she looked around her family was nowhere to be found.
"You did your job, they're safe." Mapleshade's voice sounded behind her, answering her inaudible question. "And now, you can join us in training recruits."
