THE LOVERS LIED , p

Ten months, she was barely ten months when Briar asked her. He begged and pleaded, desiring so much to have a family with the milky white fold. The molly turned him down though, proclaiming quite boldly she was not ready for something so serious. Briar hadn't taken the answer well. For once in her life, she realized how truly afraid of him she was. Staring up at him with wide golden eyes, she was terrified. He was going to hurt her, wasn't he? Her mentor always hurt her when she dared now listen to his every word. She to him, was nothing more then his pet. Wasn't she? How far had she let herself fall into their abusive relationship. How long had she allowed him to use her? She felt disgusted. Was she only worth the words he had told her. Wasn't she his princess? Didn't he love her? Her fearful gaze softened into a tearful sorrow as she shook her head, turning to run off.

``Where are you going!?`` Her fear turned to level eleven when the tom's anger filled tone barreled throughout the room. Her eyes narrowed for a moment as some never before seen fire lit within her chest. Her claws sheathed defensively. Turning her eyes over upon the large brown tom with shaky gaze. His tail was whipping behind him with the speed only fed by the rage building within his body. She flattened her ivory ears with a fearful step behind her. She had no clue what to do, she tried to take an escape. He stopped her pouncing upon her small form. Tears bubbled up upon her cheeks as he pressed his weight upon her spine. His voice slipped out, sounding like a poisoned honey. ``Don't worry hun, you'll make a great mom..`` He turned to slam swans head in, once it was knocked she let out a loud call. ``HELP!`` It echoed across the territory, Filling across the land tainted with her fear and sorrow. Soon her mind began to slip into oblivion, she needed help..hopefully one would here.

//I'll probably call her DoveFlight probably.

Her savior had arrived, hearing from somewhere near by as some shoved her attacker off of her. Tried eyes moved to her littermate panting. As her ivory fur was stained with the darkest red she had ever seen drip from her head. The tears that had stained her cheeks refused to stop, she couldn't raise up. She was too weak to move from the spot Briar had left her in. Speaking of the large tom, his eyes narrow to Bumble. But it was too late, he was caught red handed by someone not as afraid as him as his apprentice. Swan chose to the solely focused upon her beloved littermate. ``I-I..`` She was so tired, her eyes drooped softly as they faded into darkness. Her mind became empty as her body became almost lifeless before the silver tabby.

Someone had arrived behind him. A solid grey healer who stared down with widened eyes. Running over she quickly moved her herbs over to the apprentice. Moving her purple eyes to bumble, fear filled their shimmered depths. ``Bumble, help me carry her to camp..`` She ordered worried. Picking up the scruff of the fluffy milky white feline carefully, motioning the apprentice to get the other side.

//It's fine lol

The large female drags the white apprentice back into camp. By the time they had arrived the white female had slipped into the darkness around her falling into a dreamless sleep. Quickly Dove flicked an ear to Bumble fearfully. ``Ah! Get me the herbs upon the self. Top one!`` She asked quickly as she began laying the young molly into a nest rushing to work upon her bleeding body. Horse tail and cobwebs were placed upon the wounds on her head. Panic surged within the grey furred molly as she tried to stop the wounds sickly red liquid slipping out into the healer's paws.

Flattening her large pointed ears. The healer let herself sigh for a moment as she shook her head. ``I'm not going to make a promise I can't keep. Just pray for her..`` Her much needed words of comfort did not arrive. Dove hated to lie, which led to the bluntest of statements at times. Grabbing the herbs from the tom she began to place them upon the show white feline's fur. Her making sure not to injure her worse while doing so.

Groggily, Swan moved her eyes to her brother. Her ears pinning closer to her head as she noticed his tears. ``D..Don't cry. I'll be fine..`` She weakly lifted her head up to lick tears away from her littermate. Before falling into a much too deep sleep. Dove yelled something along the lines of 'she's going into a coma' before darting off to gather some form of herb. Leaving Bumble to stare at his possibly permeantly sleeping littermate.
