Warrior Cats: The Four Clans

Arina couldn't help it. She walked forewards. "River, you need to live for your sister, Nightshadow. Remember what I told you about life?" she asked. "Dying...doesn't do anything." Arina repeated, for the first time since they'd been out of the cages."facts of life-dying causes more pain for the dead and living, emotionally and physically. " tears came from her eyes now."Fact 2~Nothing ever goes according to plan for one person, no matter what or who. Something will always interupt it. " This was an example of now, what was happening."Fact 3~you need to see the joy of what you have, because you don't know what you have until it is gone." she couldn't finish and her voice cracked.

Dakota stepped forward and stared at the leader intensly. "Why are you doing this? Why do you like making others suffer?" She questioned and shook her head alittle. Yeah, he was mean and seemed like he had no heart but deep inside he was juat like each of them. He cared for someone and loved just like they did.

Arina snarled. "because-she's your barganing tool. If you kill her, you'll die anyhow." and she calmed herself. "Just take the offer and make the switch." she said. "What good would it do for you to kill her? TO make us feel pain? Is that it?!" She barked. "And when that pain is caused, it will beunleashed upon you filthy scum bag! It will come and it will tear you to shreds!" she barked. Memories flooded back to her. Her parents playing with her, then getting taken to the pound. Her father making her escape and the tears. And then she walked away, and when she did, she met a cat who's parents had been run over. He was scared at first, but they became friends. He was Spectre. She snarled at him. SHe knew herself. It was all unraveling.

Dakota growled and shook her head. "You cant have Lucy! I promised I would protect her and you not laying one paw on her." She couldnt help but growl furiously at the leader and she took a step forward. "Pick something else." She growled and lowered her head.
