In Hell I'll Be In Good Company

Prologue
A dark ginger tabby she-cat was frantically looking around, dashing through silver-tinted forest. She paused, spotting two cats on the opposite side of the river. She dashed down, and hopped across nearby stones.

The skinny black tom looked over the spotted golden she-cat’s shoulder. “Hello, Reedshine,” he greeted.

“Ravenwing,” she muttered, “Have you seen the ‘paws lately?”

“...Mapleshade’s?” asked the golden she-cat, hesitantly. Reedshine nodded. “Why ever would you wonder where they are?”

“Frecklewish, we can’t blame the kits for their mothers crimes,” though her voice was almost edged in infatuation mentioning their mother. She gulped the emotion down, “And I’m the one who had to convince Riverstar to even let them become warriors, and their mentors for Starclan’s sake!”

Frecklewish simply shook her head, “And I think you’re mad for doing so.” Ravenwing simply tilted his head in agreement.

Reedshine hissed, “They were just kits!”

“Kits of a murderer and a liar,” Ravenwing said simply, returning to his conversation with Frecklewish.

Snarling, Reedshine hopped off. At Sunningrocks, she met with Birchface and Flowerpaw- Flowerheart, now.

“Mapleshade’s kits?” Birchface repeated, “I think they headed down to the edge of Thunder-Starclan territory.”

Flowerheart nodded, “They were with some tawny-and-white spotted cat, I figured it was Seedpelt, but I didn’t catch a very good look.”

“You caught them wandering off with an unfamiliar tom and you just… let them go?”

Flowerheart shrugged, “They can make their own choices, and they weren’t forcing them.”

Reedshine scampered off, and ran far enough so that she was on the border of Starclan and the Place of No Stars.

“This will take us to mom?” asked Petalpaw’s high-pitched voice.

“Yes,” meowed the tawny tom gruffly, certainly not Seedpelt. Reedshine jumped from the bushes and landed squarely on his shoulders, knocking him down into the shallow starry river. Petalpaw let out an angry yowl.

“What do you think you’re doing to them?!”

“They decided they wanted to live with their mother,” the tom said, sitting up so freezing water wouldn’t get into his mouth, “I was merely taking them there.” From the black-and-red forest behind him Reedshine could see the shines of his eyes were red as fire. She turned to look at the apprentices. Petalpaw and Larchpaw’s were too, and Patchpaw’s were just pink.

“We’re making this decision for ourselves,” Larchpaw mewed, taking first jump on the smooth, silver crossing rocks. “We’re sorry but you can’t change our minds.” he said before jumping the rest of the way across, Petalpaw quickly followed. Patchpaw followed after a regretful glance back at Reedshine.

The tom under her flipped over and jumped, splashing starry water in Reedshine’s eyes just long enough for him to run off with the kits. Reedshine couldn't help letting out a yowl of agony, and she could’ve sworn the water under her paws turned dark red with blood.
