Left for Dead.
Chapter 1.
Family.
My childhood was very, sweet. I had 2 sisters, Mayspright and Lilacdrop; and 3 brothers, Darkvoid, Blueclaw and Blacknight. I, Hollowspirit, was the runt of the litter. I may have not gotten alot of attention out of all 6 of us, but it was fine for me. My father, Thunderfang, was the leader of my clan, he was a tall, strict cat, with a scar over his right eye, from long ago, and an ash pelt with a yellowish tan stripe going down his back. My mother, Lilywiskers, was a sweet, caring mother. She loved us to death. She was shorter, but beautiful, a white, creamy coat, with the most beautiful blue eyes and soft whiskers.
It was a dangerous world out there, assassins trying to kill my father for power over our clan. The clan has been at peace for a while now, but, the thing I didn't relies was... an all out attack was coming.
"Mother. Father" My voice was soft, and calm. "Mother? Father? Where are you?" I walked through the clan of other cats, into the leaders den. "Moth-" I stopped, when I saw it, fathers arm, it was almost torn off, his face, covered in blood. I stood there, my big dark blue, eyes watering up, I quickly turned around and ran out, bumping into Darkvoid and Blacknight. "Darkvoid! Blacknight! Father is-" They stopped what I was saying. "We know." They both answered at once. "W-what happened, how did it happen? Who did this?" I couldn't stop asking questions. "Listen. Hollowspirit, you must keep quite, if the clan gets word, then it spreads out to the forest, we are going to have a huge problem in our paws. So for now, act like you saw nothing, act like your, playful happy self." My brother let out a sigh, then walked away. "How can you be so calm about this?" I said to myself as tears soaked into my grey pelt.
I walked to the high point of the clan, where father would always sit and show me the whole clan under our paws. "Soon, you might rule this clan for yourself." His voice echoed in my head. Lilacdrop, the oldest of the litter, came up and sat by me. "So you heard to?" Her voice was sad, and no longer had that comforting purr in it. "Who did this?" Tears started to form again. "Don't cry Hollowspirit. Father is strong, and will not give up that easily." I asked again, this time, my voice for the first time, sounded angered. "Who did this." She looked at me, then turned around to view the open clearing of the woods. "An assassin." "Just one! H-how could just one take him down like this! His arm was almost ripped off! He was bleeding badly, almost dead!" My sister looked down at me, shocked because she has never seen me angered before, but could understand at this point. "It was not ordinary assistant. It was, him. The leader of the killers, no one knows what he looks like, he is so lightning fast. He is extremely strong if he could take down father. No one knows his name, it is so secret, even his clan doesn't know. Some even say he doesn't even exist." I had my short, weak claws out and gripped the dirt under my paws. "I will kill this man, no matter wolf, cat or any other animal, I will kill him. Even if it takes all 9 lives to waste, no one will do this to my family and get away with it, no one." I seemed to suddenly turn into a different cat. My sister watched as I walked away, her eyes seemed sad, like she wanted to cry, but couldn't. I wasn't even big enough to take down any of my brothers or sisters, but I promised to take that man down.
