Hazy Waters

Prologue
"Your not worth my time you piece of fox dung!" screeched the black tom at the light brown tabby "but I would do anything just to see you miserable!"

The light brown tabby glared at the black tom, his amber eyes narrowed, and his long curved claws unsheathed. He was ready to pounce at any given moment, one move could set him off. He didn't respond to the black toms comments, he simply stayed calm and hopped his anger wouldn't get the best of him.

The black tom however was enjoying the light brown tabbies silence. A smirk played on his face, his black fur seemed to bristle higher than before. All he wanted to do was rip the tabbies throat out, the arrogance of the tabby made him want to hurl. So with a vicious glance he threw himself at the tabby.

The tabbies eyes widened, but he made no move. He simply waited to be pounced on.

Is this what it had come to? Had he really messed up so bad that his black furred warrior wanted nothing to do with him anymore? Well actually, his black furred warrior wanted to rip his 'flea written' throat out, but at the moment it didn't matter in his thoughts. All he could think about was when he screwed everything up.

The black tom toppled over the tabby with ease, his claws digging into the tabbies broad shoulders. He hissed in a vicious manner and pulled his claw up and brought it down over the tabbies eye, breaking the skin. Blood pooled out and the tabbies vision was blurred immediately. Pain shot through his right eye.

The black tom was about to bring his teeth down to the tabbies throat, which was the trick to an easy kill. But before he could move the tabby yowled out.

"Stop Raven! Stop!"

The black tom looked down at the helpless tabby, his gaze not softening for even a heartbeat. He would never feel anything but bitter hatred towards that cowardly cat ever again. So why did he stop when he yowled out to? Only the cats up in the sky know.

The tabby looked lost for words for a split second, his amber eyes glazing over. Then suddenly he found his mouth again.

"Please don't kill me, I know I've messed up but-"

"you've messed up big time!" the black cat leaned in and hissed in the tabbies face "What you did should be the penalty for death! You've done nothing but break everything apart! So why shouldn't I break you apart?"

The black toms eyes were narrowed as he awaited the answer.

"I know I deserve death! But if you let me go, You will never ever see me again! I promise it on anything!"

The black tom didn't move, would he really never see the tabby again? Or was this a trick? His head was saying kill him but his heart was saying no. He wasn't a cold blooded killer, maybe he could give the cat beneath him a chance to scram. The pleading gaze of the tabby intensified as black cat opened his mouth.

"For the sake of your deal I will let you live,"

The light tabbies mouth opened to interject

"thank you."

"I wasn't done!" the black cat snapped.

the tabby gulped and nodded hastily.

"As I said, I will let you live. But! If I ever see you again I will not hesitate to rip your flea written throat out! You understand?"

The tabby nodded swiftly again.

The black cat sighed and got off of the tabby, he looked down at the bloodied cat agin.

"I will tell the rest that you are dead... Now go!"

The tabby nodded and replied:

"Th-thank you so much Raven, I will never forget this. I wish you well."

And without another word the tabby got up and scurried away, blood poured from the cut over his eye, the wind danced through his fur. All he could worry about now was getting off of the mountain he once called home. As the tabby left the other cats gaze, the black cat turned around and looked bluntly at his paws. The issue that had been handed to him was now out of his paws for good..l

Or was it...?
