Killitha looked at the gates before her. She, her husband Shardja Quickslay, and their 1 season old kitt named Saih Darkeye, had come from a far away forest to live in Fort Lancepaw. She pulled the rope by the door gingerly, above her, she heard the clang of a bell, a moment later the gates swung open. A hare barred the entrance, speaking to her "What do the likes of ye want? Wot wot!" Shardja spoke up, "We want a safe place to rear our little Saih" Killitha unnwrapped her shawl from the bundle in her arms, showing the hare a small wildcatbabe, and pleaded in a soft voice "Please marm, we've travelled a long way to live here,
in safety. Our old home is many a days journey from here." Shardja joined in, "We are good wildcats, we are not at all evil!" The hare sighed, "Oh alright, ye may live here. By the way, my name is Lancepaw." Killitha smiled greatfuly as she walked through the gateway, "Our thanks to you marm!" Lancepaws laughed, "Hahahaha! Please, if you're going to stay, call me Lancepaw." Killitha, somewhat having a hard time not calling Lancepaw 'Marm' replied, blushing "Alright marm... I mean Lancepaw."
-2 Seasons later- Saih giggled as her father, Shardja, tickled her footpaws, " Heeheehahaha S'oppit! Dat tickwes!!" Shardja smiled down at her, how much she had grown since they had come to Lancepaws Fort 2 seasons back! She had been a tiny thing, only 1 season old, but she had surely grown! "Killitha, Killitha where are you?" Lancepaw called into the hot summer afternoon, she and Saihs' mother
Killitha, had become close friends, and Lancepaw was searching for her, suddenly a scream rent the air, it was
coming from just outside the gates. Lancepaw, and several other warriors raced towards the sound, when they arrived on the scene, they saw some ermine and foxes hurrying away, what they saw on the ground in front of the gates turned even the hardest warriors stomuch, a litter of 4 kitts, barely even dibbuns, had been slaughtered. Above them, on the walltop, a harsh wildcat cry loosed itself from Killitha's throat, causing Lancepaw to jump. Killitha had seen it all, and she was filled with hatered towards the vermin for murdering helpless babes, and for killing beasts of her own species. That night, she sharpened her throwing daggers, muttering under her breath "I am Killitha Deathbringer, none escape me." She left off for a minute, and walked over to an open window, then she shouted into the darkness "Do you hear that, vermin scum? None escape me, NONE!!!!" Then she went back to work, restringing her longbow, making new arrows, wetting her sword edge, sharpening her spearpoint and packing food into a large backpack. The only clothes she was taking with her, were the ones she would have on her back. When she was finished, she went to bed, and slept a fitful sleep. Next morn, she anounced that she was leaving, Lancepaw was very sorrowful that her friend was leaving, but there was a dangerous glint in Killitha's eyes, and Lancepaw knew that she could not be persuaded not to go, "Why!" Lancepaw observed "That wildcat wouldn't mind dying, just so that those poor little kits were avenged!" Shardja winked back a tear, he could not bear the thought of Saih growing up without a mother, but he was powerless to stop his wife from going. Before Killitha left, she sat down, lifted Saih onto her lap, and gave the kitt her dirk. Then, she whispered in the little ones ear, "Name it whatever you wish. One day you will be a brave warrior!" Then she kissed the 3 season old babe on the cheek, put her in Shardjas arms, hugged and kissed him goodbye, waved to everyone else, and finally set out on her journey, tracking the ermine, and foxes to who knows where. Leaving her precious Saih, and Shardja, behind.
(Yes, I'm the Saih in the story, if you feel that I ended the story to soon, and left you hanging, that's because I still haven't found out what happened to my mother after that. Without her, it wouldn't be much of a story. But when I find out what did happen to her, I will finish the story. Please tell me what you think!)
