~Gemwhisker Pov~

I stood in front of my kits, protecting them from anyone. Darkstat paced angrily towards me.

Memories from when I was an apprentice flashed through my eyes.

~Flashback~

Darkshadow's claws dug into my shoulders.  I screeched In agony. "True warriors don't feel pain. Your weak!" He snarled sinking his claws deeper into me.

With what ever was left of my energy I kicked him off of me. "I dont feel pain!" He snarled and leapt at me with outstrechted claws.

~Flash back end~

My kits whimpered behind me.

I knew Darkstar only had 2 lives left, to many mistakes has he made. And this is going to be the biggest one so far, messing with a queen and her kits.

With an ear splitting screech he threw himself on me. I knicked out with my back legs. He hit the ground with a small thud and quickly got back up. He charged at me. He leapt into my side, sending me tumbling to the ground. I turned around and swept my claws across his cheek. He hissed and sent his claws across my side. I hissed.  He grabbed my scruff and threw me onto the ground multiple times.

He left my body laying there, bleeding and unmoving.

I heard my kits in the background. "MOMMA HELP US! MOMMA GET UP WE NEED YOU! MOMMA!" They screeched. I heard Darkstar hiss and one of my kits hit the ground screeching in pain.

"True warriors don't feel pain!" Darkstar's words rang in my ears.

With great effort I heaved myself up. "STAY AWAY FROM MY KITS!" I screeched. I charged at him, anger giving me all my strength.   I threw myself in his back and bit his scruff. I pulled baclwards and he started to fall on his back. I quickly jumped off of him. He hit the ground with a hiss. I limped towards him,  anger blazed in his eyes. I out my paw on his chest and sank my claws in. He howled in pain, agony covering the anger in his eyes. "I thought true warriors don't feel pain!" I hissed in his ear.

I let go of him. He layed there, bleeding out.

I ran towards my kits, Puddlekit layed there.  "Puddlekit get up!" I cried. She let out a small wail.  I turned my head around to find the whole clan starring at me.

I starred at my kits, happiness was the greatest emotion. They meweld hungrily and nuzzeled into my side.

I purres and realized that the storm was dying down.

I stepped outside and saw a destoyed camp. My voice rose to a wail. "Where's the clan?!" I screeched.
