Implied Animal Death - Tumblr Posts

Sootear (a light grey tom with amber eyes), and Rainfoot (bluish grey tom with blue eyes and darker paws), but as kittens. They are cowering and crying in a bush, looking up at something terrible. Cast over the bush is a shadow of two cats killing another cat, unseen to the viewer. These are implied to be Barkstar and another cat killing Gullfeather, the kits' mother. In front of Soot and Rain is a large splash of blood.

"Go get Flashpoint and Pineburr. It's time something was done about our outsiders."

More of Barkstar committing war crimes. Hating the presence of the cats living in the cove for how they seemed to treat this life as an easy game, ignorant of the old clans and their code that she felt she was destined to restore, she wanted to teach them a lesson. Taking her supporters (and a handful of cats who did not want to go), she set out to lay waste and claim the land for hers. A lot of cats on both sides died.

Gullfeather had been with her kits when Barkstar and her most loyal follower arrived, and thought quickly to hide them in some shrubbery. She'd been no match and they were still found.

Barkstar hated the cats that came from the woods with their kittens. How dare they get to survive the forest while two of her own kits died there? She devised a plan to lure them into this den with the false pretense of taking these now-motherless kits back to the quarry after they were done, and use the opportunity for more slaughter, blaming them for the death of a queen and her kits as an excuse to drive their own children out.

She'd gotten finished with Flashpoint and Pineburr and was turning towards the two grey kittens cowering in the bush, when who but Wavestar would come in carrying Barkstar's own young son, the last of her doomed litter, limp in his jaws.
