Stage one :
Group one
Snowflake's POV
All my life I had always been a cat who was eager for adventure. Now as I walk down the streets, exposed going to the very place I promised myself by any means to never return, I never felt so terrified. Under the sun I shivered in the cold. I looked over my shoulder to see Nutmeg and her cats, and that fear fades.
You have a mission Snow, focus. Everything is going to be okay.
The plan was simple. We were separated into three groups. My group was to distract Frost, while group two rescued Nutmeg's sisters and group three was to distract Frost's cats from interfering. As the only one who knew where exactly Frost hid underground I was picked to distract Frost, which Jay didn't like.
But it is the only way.
We stood a block away from the entrance when Nutmeg ordered us to stop.
"Okay, Snowflake are you ready?" I nodded. I walked the rest of the way and walked past the warning signs and walked down the stairs into the abandoned train station. His musky scent was everywhere. Tiny paws kicked at my belly begging me to turn back.
I know kits, but I must do this. Even if I have to confront your father.
Along with other cats. I saw three pairs of eyes, one green and two amber. The cats with amber eyes walked out from the shadows revealing their red and ruffled fur and white claws.
"You're that she cat Frost likes." Said the black cat.
"The one who gave him a scar." The red cat added. The two cats growled and stalked forward, their eyes blazing.
"Where is he? I need to talk to him." I say trying to push down the instinct to run. The green eyed cat, a she cat with silver fur walked out and joined the others.
"Why do you need to talk with him? Don't you hate him?" My ears twitched.
" I just need to talk with him that's all."
"He's busy." I frowned.
"I may not be an alley cat but I recognize his scent anywhere. Nowhere is he?"
"He's right here." I whirled around and faced the white tom. His blue eyes were colder than I remembered. His face still had the scar on his left cheek I gave him.
"Hi Frost." I said flatly. My former mate grunted.
"There's something I need to tell you," I turned to the three cats listening. "But I need to tell you far from other cats." I said. Fortunately Frost didn't hesitate to follow me outside. I lead him to the park where there was a secluded area far from other cats, but had a lot of places for Nutmeg and the others to hide and ambush.
"So what do you have to say that you had to drag me all the way out here?" Frost said. I gave him a painful look.
"You lied to me."
"That's all?"
"No. I just wished you would've been more truthful and told me who you were. "
"If I did would you still love me?" He asked me. I stared at my paws.
"It's hard to say." Frost frowned.
"I thought so." He turned to leave but I blocked him .
"But that's not what the only thing." I said quickly. I looked into his eyes,
"I'm carrying kits, their yours." This got Frost to react.
'What?"
" I thought, you might want to know." I mumbled. I felt Frost pull me close , lick my forehead and purr. Past his shoulder I saw Nutmeg all covered in soiled snow from the streets.
Not yet. Get ready.
I pulled myself away.
"What's wrong?" He frowned.
"I got kicked out because of them, because of you."
"Then you can live with me."
"I can't do that."
"Why not?"
"Because I can't allow my kits to grow up with their paws in blood."
" I could stop. I would do it for you, for them." I watched as Nutmeg stepped out of her hiding place.
" It won't happen." I said. Frost lashed his tail. Nutmeg proceeded to stalk him from behind.
"Are you saying I'm unable to change?"
"No." I said. stepping back. Nutmeg then crouched and got ready to spring and Nutmeg pounced and pinned Frost down. She hissed in his ear. "Because you will be dead by then."

Group two.
Patches POV
I felt chills up my spine as I walked with mamma and Sasha beside me to underground. Before us were Storm, Jay Ruby,Violet Sasha and Stripes. They were group three and were going first to fight off Frost's cats so that Mama and I could sneak in and rescue my sisters.
Jay stopped and I came up to him.We were near the mouth of a tunnel all covered in sewer water. I peeked out to see a bunch of cats laying around. Behind them was a room. Jay turned to me. "Well there it is."
"Well what are we waiting for?" I gave my mother a reassuring nudge.
"We'll get them, don't you worry." I turned to Jay. "You're up. Good luck." Jay nodded.
"You know where to take them right?" I nodded looking at Sasha. The ginger knew where to go. "Nutmeg's housecat friend's house.
"Meet us back here afterwards." I watched as the group rushed out. My group watched as the cats began to defend. Once everyone was occupied, my group slipped around back into the room.
"Mama!" Cried two kittens. I got a chance to see my little sisters for the first time. One was a ginger like dad while the other kitten was black and had a white ring around her neck like a collar. The kittens buried themselves in our mother's grey fur.
"You came!" Cried one. Mama licked them both.
"Lets take you somewhere safe." Sasha took the black one while Mama took the ginger. With me in the lead, I manage to get us to slip past the others undetected.
😸😸😸
Group three
Jay POV
I ran out, sliding my claws out their shealth and attacked the first cat I saw. It was the red tom I fought last time. He was was surprised at first but eventually we fell into a rhythm. I would slash at his chest, he would aim for my face. I would bite at his ear, he would sink his claws into my shoulder. Around me I heard my friends hiss and growl. In the corner of my vision I saw Storm, Nutmeg's friend from the Farmlands get pinned down by a black cat and was about to get killed. I ripped away and rushed over knock the black cat away from him.
"Thanks." The dark tabby meowed.
"No problem." I say.
................................................................................................................................................................
Stage two
Group one
Snowflake POV
At once the rest of the cats raced forward to attack the cat who wiggling himself to get free.
"You!" I heard him spat. His eyes blazed and were locked on me. I froze. "You - you traitor! I-I kill you for this!" I gulped.
"Snow!" Yelled Catnip. The older she cat ran over to me. "Let's get you out of here!" I ran after her. Leaving the caterwauls, screeches and yowls behind me.
😸😸😸
Group two
Patches POV
Once outside we started to leave when I felt a paw pin me down. I looked over my shoulder and my chest tightened. "Shard?"The silver she cat growled but there was a flicker of surprise in her eyes.
" I-I can't let you leave with them." She stuttered.
I frowned. " Well I can't let Frost keep them." My former friend leaped at me and pinned me onto the snow covered sidewalk.
"Sasha get them out of here, now!"
As they ran away I focused on Shard.
She batted at my chest and I kicked her in the stomach but I never took out my claws.
" Why are you holding back? Why won't you fight?" She growled.
"I don't want to hurt you."
"You still think we are still friends?" She swiped at my face, I ducked.
" How cute." Flipping over I launched upwards and knocked her down and pinned her.
"I know you think Frost is your only option but he is not! He's a liar, a manipulative cat who doesn't care about you."
"He does care about me!"
"Really? Does he?" Shard quieted. "Yes...No...I don't know." She gave in. "He often threatens he will kill me but I only thought he was joking." She stared at me. "But I owe him. He took me in when my mother gave me up."
I shook my head.
" He doesn't care Shard. He only thinks about who he is going to kill next. Do you really think he would care about you?" I released her and turned to leave.
"Why are you doing this?"
I looked back at her. "Because unlike Frost, I care about you, friend or not." I say. Then I left her to join the others.
😸😸😸
Group three
Jay POV
My vision was red when I was slashed across the face. A oozing liquid dripped down on to my chin. I licked my jaws and spat it out. Blood.
" You think you can defeat us?" Said the red tom. His body was bruised but he still stood, in comparison to me I could barely breathe. I was exhausted. Though there was one of Frost's cats lying limp the rest were still kicking.
Beside me Storm panted, his eyes that were once blazing were now dull. I looked around to see my sister being pinned, Stripes was still fighting but every time he aimed he missed. Spots our newcomer was about to be beaten and Ruby ran over to help Violet.
I looked back at the red tom. He was right. We were tired. Just then I heard a frustrated meow.
"Klaw! The kits they're gone!" Finality!
Klaw growled.
"Find them!"
I raised my voice.
" Ruby, Violet, Stripes, Spots and Storm let's get out of here!" I say. Klaw lashed his tail as I watched Stripes, Spots and Storm ran out.
Klaw pinned me down.
" So that's your plan? Distract us?"
"It worked didn't it?"
"You may of gotten the kits but you're not going anywhere!" He lunged at my throat when Ruby kocked him off. The two rolled around, sinking their claws and teeth. Klaw managed to pin her down and aimed for her kneck.
Crunch.
He dropped Ruby as lifeless heap.
"That was for you." He snarled.
"Jay!" Called my sister. She was at the mouth of the tunnel where the rest of the cats were heading towards. Their eyes were wild and their claws were out stained red.
I sprinted over to the wall and leaped over their heads, landing beside her.
"Lets get out of here!"

Nutmeg's POV
We were wining. Frost was beaten. Blood dripped from his wounds. He coughed and glance up at me. His eyes blazed. "You have been stalling kitten. Why are you so sacred of killing me?" I scoffed.
"I was waiting for the right moment."
Frost sniffs the air and a smirk came to his face.
"I think you waited too long."
I sniffed the air. Cats. A lot of cats. And they were heading this way.
On cue, A bunch of cats leaped from the bushes and stood before their leader. Behind them Jay, Violet, Storm, Spots came over and joined me.
"Where's Ruby?"
"She's gone." Violet sniffed.
Just then Patches followed by Shard came and went over to their sides. There was tension radiating from both of them. Mama burst out too.
I scowled. "What are you doing here? should you be with the others?"
My mother shook her head.
" You can't stop me from fighting the cat who gave me so much misery. "
I sighed.
"Fine, just be careful."
Storm tapped my shoulder with his tail.
"They're lining up."
We stared at the line of cats who stood at defence with their leader behind them.
" Get ready." I growled. With me in the lead, all of us spread out. Jay on my left and Storm on my right and we advanced.
We broke into a sprint and locked into our opponents claws.
"Hello beautiful." Said the black cat.
"Blake." I say aiming for his ears.
"Ah so you remeber." He said ducking. "To bad I'll be the last thing you'll remwber." I snarled. I leaped at him and pinned him down. We rolled in the snow, he flipped me over and he pinned me instead.
"Oh believe me Nutmeg, I would like that very much." I growled and kicked him in the stomach. His groan blended along with the yowls and snarls of the battle.
In the corner of my vison I spotted my nother was pinned and was about to get pounced by Frost. She was near the edge of the park. Shoving Blake aside I sprinted over and takled Frost. We rolled past the edge and onto the road. Frost pinned me down and growled close to my face.
"I should of done this long time ago."
Just then the ground beneath us shook and rumbled. I heard Storm yell.
"Look out!" I looked up to see a car heading right for us. I kicked Frost hard in the stomach and he rolled over. A massive body kocked me out of the way and I hit the sidewalk with a thud. I heard a sickening crunch, a screech and saw a blurr of dark brown, white and red before slipping into the darkness.
