The Way of Life Chp. 1

A yowl resonded throughout a dense forest, as claws shredded fur, and teeth ripped through flesh. A Silver she-cat with a black tail tip and a purple flower in her ear, and bright blue jay feathers on her tail tip. Hissed and yowled fighting another tom, the two were a bit un-evenly matched. Considering the she-cat was larger then the tom. "BlackStar!" the she-cat yowled (forgive me I know the cats r different but I'm not up to date so far >.<)  the toms ears pricked but he kept his defensive stance. the tom was white all over except his feet. Just above his ankles were black. "What are you doing on ShadowCla nterritory?!" she hissed. (yes the clan leaders r different to  The tom smirked "You know very well. TearStar. I've come to get my revenge!" He yowled chargeing again. The she-cat quickly lept up falling quickly and sliceing his back leaveing three long gashes running down his spine. the tom yowled in agony and hissed before whirling around as she landed, Claws out-stretched and he made three long cuts running down her left eye. She leaped back and landed on all fours blinking away the blood in her eye. hissing in fury. A yowl from a kit resonded through the clearing. the she-cats eyes widened "You wouldn't! We didn't do anything! I would never make an un-just attack!" she yowled blood filled tears begining to streak down the she-cats face. (yes they cry too) the tom smirked as his, deputy carried out three dead kits and spat them onto the ground before reaching back into the nursery and pulling out they're dead mother. The she-cats eyes widened even further as all cats in the clearing froze. Pure terror plain on the faces off all the cats. The tom she was fighting not moments ago smirked and yowled for his clan to retreat. He smirked at the terror frozen warriors face. He walked up and licked her cheek. Before whispering in her ear "You don't mess with Riverclan..... TearDrop" He backed up running away with the rest of his clan. His deputy right by his side. As the Riverclan cats faded out. The Shadowclan cats began to cautously step forward towards the unmoving kits and they're mother. A sad and furious yowl rang loud and clear through the forest as a black tom. With Silver high lights raced forward curling up close to his mate licking furiously at his kits and her. TearStar's tears flowed more freely now. As the cats in the clearing whispered among themselves.
"Great Starclan!"
"What kind of sick mouse-brain would do this?"
"Starclan help us!"
"This is TearStar's fault!"
"No... If she said this wasen't her doing. It wasen't!"
TearStar snapped her eyes closed. 'Why? Why Starclan?! Why?! They were kits! Why must they be punished?! For the things I have done?!' she yowled mournfully in her mind. "TearStar?" The sound of her best friend whimpered. She looked up seeing StoneTalon in front of her. she shook her head and replaced her bored mask over her face. As she stepped forward. Claws aching from the fight with the riverclan leader. Left eye stining like fury from the gashes he left which she knew would turn into scars. She stepped through the crow of parting cats letting her through. She stood in front of the tom glaring at her laying next to his mate and kits. He gut twisted in disgust as she looked at the mother. she had been slashed to pieces. Deep gashes lined her entire tortushelled body. she looked at the kits her eyes widening. She yowled "HeartNote! the kits live!" She called the medicene cat who bounded over with a bunle of herbs in her mouth. She began to tend to the kits at once under the carefull eye of SpiritWind. TearStar backed away and lept onto the hill above her den and yowled "Let all cats old enough to defend themselves. Join here in the clearing for a clan meeting." She waited untill everyone was settled until she spoke. Watching as HeartNote tended to the kits, SpiritWind cleaning the blood off of his former mate. She sighed begining to speak to the assebmled cats "Riverclan has attacked without warrent. BlackStar's deputy attacked kits. Which is against the warrior code. I will not plan a revenge attack. However" she continued as the cats began hissing and yowling in anger. "I will say of this at the gathering. For now help HeartNote restock her herbs an we will sit vigile for WinterFall" she said as the cats nodded "Also two gaurds will be posted at the nursery at night. HawkTalon. Whitewind. You two will take the first shift. Now. Let us hurry and make repairs. Lest BlackStar pronounce how week we are to the gathering" the cats nodded again and began to shift into they're dutys. Patiently waiting until HeartNote was finished with the kits before they would be tended to. TearStar lept bound and headed into her den. Bloody tears now flowing again "Starclan. Please help us" She said before curling into her nest and falling asleep
