After the raid, Gaelicprince had waited around the territory. Nobody had seemed willing to attack him, for one reason or another. It was easy to believe that BoneClan were scared to attack, scared of the consequences, if the only one to initiate some sort of combat happened to be their leader.
There was a large box on the territory, a handle on the side of it. A curious BoneClanner had already turned the handle, the jack-in-a-box making the age old tune as it wound around and round and around. It must have took, two, three minutes, but eventually, the 'jack' sprung out of the box. Instead of revealing what was normally encased, a kitten's head was bobbing around, the sheer look of horror even evident in death. One eye had been gouged out, the other looked like it had beaten out of it by blunt force. All of the tiny teeth were missing, ears were cut off at the midway point, and the mouth was forced open by a dislocated jaw. It continued bobbing and bobbing and bobbing, showing no signs of stopping unless something was willing to touch it.
A bloody note could be found at the back of the box, should they get through the horrors to see it. The writing was surprisingly neat, though the words weren't particularly friendly.
Dear BoneClan,
Merry Christmas! Sorry the gift is early, us Exilers can be so overzealous, I'm sure you know this by now. Inside you'll find a kid, or maybe you've already found him, anyways, you would have loved is screams. They went from Mezzo-soprano to soprano in record time, but don't worry, they were always loud. I didn't know young brats could have such a wide voice range though, it's rather surprising.
Sorry, is that making you uncomfortable? Well if it makes you feel any better, he was on Santa's naughty list. I mean, who would want such scum if they couldn't even stop themselves from throwing rocks at squirrels? Impulsive, reckless little shit, am I right?
Anyways, my clanmates are calling, so are yours, they're calling out the name of the deceased kitten, wishing they could kill me, wishing they could have saved them. I do really need to go, but do you want to know how I truly punished him? I only ripped out one of his eyes before he died, so he knew the types of indescribable things done to his body. You can thank me later, he's a good pawn in the afterlife.
Now I really have to go, and I hope you all have a splendid Christmas. I've stored his guts for you in a tree nearby, feel free to use them as tinsel if you can find them, might make the place look better.
Lots of love,
An Exiler

He may have had too much fun writing the note, and he truly had gone overzealous with it. But, letting his mean streak out every once in a while was satisfying. The perpetrator was no where to be found, he had at least some knack of common sense in his brain.
