After his wash, he padded over to the stream that surrounded the camp. Careful not to fall into the water, he dipped his paws in, liking the way the cool water ran between his toes. Koi raised his large paws, kneading the lush green grass to dry them. Nightfall had fallen, and the camp was dark apart from the lamp that was in the middle of the camp. He never liked it, it was to manmade, along with the bridge.
Where is Rikaistar? Koi thought to himself, padding up the small hill that led to the Warriors den. I saw him go into the Healers den with Mochi. I wonder if he is still in there.. he sat down on the edge of the hill, that overlooked their territory. The moon light's rays beamed onto the water, making it glow a beautiful aqua, illuminating the whole territory. Koi let out a sigh as he overlooked Omoideclans beautiful territory. The cherry blossoms flowers were still, despite the small breeze that plucked a few petals off.
Koi lie down in his nest of feathers and petals, listening to the rhythmic snoring of his den mates. His nest was in the back, next to Ushi's, who was in a deep sleep. As much as he wanted to slip into a slumber, he was afraid of the horrors that lay waiting in his dreams. The horror of his own father killing his mother still haunt his dreams; even though the incident happened w hen he was no more older than two moons.
He lie on his stomach, his paws tucked neatly under his soft belly, looking out at the river. It was still glowing naturally, the pebbles lighting up underneath the moon light. Fish were visible, swimming around and leaping joyfully out of the water. Suddenly he felt awfully tired, and his eyelids could no longer hold themselves up. He tries to resist, but gave in, knowing he would have to sleep at some point. Quickly, he was led into a deep sleep.
"Mum, where's dad?" the kit asked the silky grey she. "Hush child, he will be back soon." the rough feeling of her tongue rasping over his head made him sleepy, and he buried into her soft fur.
"Oh, Kinxa your back! I was worried." Mali, Koi's mother exclaimed. Koi's head fell to the ground as his mother got up, and he let out a hopeless mew, forcing his eyes open. The sunlight blazed into them, and he squinted. "Daddy!" He gasped and leaped out of the make shift nest. A loud growl rumbled in his chest, which Koi thought was a purr. "Koi- s-s-stay." Mali rasped, her eyes bulging. "Yes, little one. Listen to your mother. And close your eyes." when Koi did not obey the order, Kinxa looked him dead in the eye. "Don't say I didn't warn you to." it was then, Koi realised that his father was pinning his mother to the ground, not that she was trying to play, which he thought. Kinxa let out a yowl, and in a flurry of motions; He bit down on her neck, and raked his claws down her back. She let out a yowl of pain, and her once white fur was streaked with blood. "No!" Koi yowled hopelessly, trying to get over. A pool of blood was at Mali's stomach, and her innards were shown. Tears spilled down young Koi's face, and he pressed his nose to her cheek. "Wake up! Please!" he cried out, kneading at her chest. A weight was pressed down on his delicate back, and he was pushed to the ground,a mouse length from the blood. "Now, drink it." his father laughed.
Koi yowled, and realised that he was thrashing in his nest. All of the warriors were around him, trying to calm him down. Koi, it was just a dream voices said, trying to reassure him.
