From the moment they entered the world, Mothkit and Skykit were inseparable. Seeing the siblings apart was a rare occurrence, and they vowed to do whatever was necessary to support the other when they had been wronged.
Indeed, the normally shy and sweet Skypaw was Mothpaw's most fiercest defender when the latter came out as genderfluid. In turn, Mothpaw valiantly stuck up for their sister, turning down cats who asked them out solely because they had bullied Skypaw in the past.
Their relationship stayed just as strong into warriorhood, and it wasn't long before Skywing found a mate of her own in the deputy's nephew, Thornnose. The two were head over heels in love, but Motheyes didn't trust Thornnose. He had always been too much of a stuck-up brat. Sure enough, Motheyes's suspicions would be confirmed eight moons later, when, while out on patrol, they caught Thornnose cuddling with Mistyspring.
To make matters even worse, when they brought the two before the Clan to confess, Mistyspring admitted to being pregnant with Thornnose's kits! Skywing was inconsolable, refusing to leave the warrior's den. Motheyes had to literally shove pieces of prey down Skywing's throat just to get her to eat.
Even when Skywing was finally able to step out of the warrior's den, she was a shell of her former self, refusing to say a word and refusing to go near the nursery, where Mistyspring was now nursing her and Thornnose's kits, Rabbitkit and Rosekit.
Seeing the happy family snuggle in the shade, then seeing Skywing struggle to eat prey without breaking into sobs, made Motheyes's heart burn with anger.
They vowed that Thornnose and Mistyspring would pay. They didn't get their chance for revenge until soon after Rabbitpaw and Rosepaw had become apprentices. Thornnose and Mistyspring had gone on a walk for some long-overdue alone time, and Motheyes took the chance to follow them.
They caught up to them by the edge of CliffClan territory, sharing tongues. Motheyes didn't hesitate for a single second, immediately bursting out of their hiding place and slamming into Mistyspring, sending her careening over the edge of the cliff, a sick crack following shortly after.
The normally loud and confident Thornnose was reduced to stunned silence as he stared at his mate's broken body lying at the bottom of the cliff. He looked up at Motheyes to ask them why they were doing this. Motheyes simply responded "Isn't it obvious? I'm doing this for Skywing,” before lunging at Thornnose and knocking him over the edge as well.
He landed right next to Mistyspring, and Motheyes saw him put his paw around her body just before the light in his eyes dimmed out.
Filled to the brim with satisfaction, Motheyes turned to head back to camp. But before they could revel in their victory anymore, two tiny blurs leaped out of the bushes, and Motheyes felt two tiny sets of claws sink into their neck, ripping it apart. The last thing they heard as their vision went dark was Rabbitpaw and Rosepaw screaming out for their mommy and daddy. At least it put a smile on their face.
--Submission by @starfalcon555
--Possibly (and likely) future mate for Snowwing
--Rabbitpaw and Rosepaw's warrior names are Rabbitthorn and Rosemist, after their parents.
--Skywing was horrified when she learned what Motheyes had done, she hated Thornnose and Mistyspring for what they did to her, but she's also a major pacifist and didn't want it to go this far. She probably becomes a mother figure for Rabbitpaw and Rosepaw afterwards.
