Deadeye's Gift prologue

"Kits! Stay in here!" A tan-colored tabby she-cat ordered her two kits. The black one didn't dare to make a sound. He was curled up in a ball, looking like a large pile of black flies. The cream tabby one sqirmed around, kicking her hind legs and swiping at the air. Though, her eyes were shut tight like her brother's. The tan tabby she-cat quietly stepped out of the small den and bravely faced the BloodClan cats that were trying to kidnap her kits because their leader, Scourge is their father. "I will not let you take my kits even if you force me to!" She hissed. "You have to kill me first!" A guard of BloodClan named Snipe began to laugh. "If you say so, she-cat!" He chuckled. The whole group of rogues charged right at the she-cat that instantly jumped forward and grabbed Snipe by the throat. The black-and-brown tom tried to fight back, but she was too strong and she ran off with him still in her grip. The rest of the BloodClan cats went after her with the kits still asleep in the den. A golden tabby tom walked pass the den and heard movement inside it. He backed up and looked inside to see the two deeply sleeping kits. Without knowing they were asleep, he whispered to them, "Where is your mother, little ones?" The black kit eventually woke up and the first thing he saw was the tom's tail swaying in the breeze outside the den. He crawled out to greet the tom and he sleepily asked him where the she-cat was. "I asked you and your littermate that a while ago." Said the tom. "I was here since sunhigh keeping an eye on you two." The kit cocked his head. "What's sunhigh?" He meowed. "Is that when the sun is high in the sky?" "Yes." The tom replied. Just then, he and the kit heard a yawn from inside the den. The cream tabby kit was awake and looking in all directions, wondering where her mother had gone.
