Blood of Darkness (Open)

[padamay]

Featherdance smiled and accepted Ruvertail by her side. Yet, she had the feeling that tonight would change everything. She sighed.

[Swimfast]

Scar followed the scent trail, weaving around trees, until he came to a clump of bracken, and foliage, where the scent ended. He narrowed his eyes, and stared at it, but couldn't make out any strange shapes. Slowly, and silently, he padded over to it.

Rivertail pricked his ears when he heard soft footsteps outside of their hiding place. He looked at Featherdance, and murmured, "Don't make a sound, please. Let me handle this." He moved in front of her, and crouched with his claws unsheathed.

Scar heard shuffling inside the little den, and smiled to himself. These cats clearly weren't very good at hiding. He stopped a tail length in front of the clump, "I know you're in there, and I'm not going to attack you."

Rivertail waited for a moment, and looked over his shoulder at Featherdance, "Stay in here, and don't let him find you." Before she had any chance to reply, he crawled out from the sheltering leaves and branches, and faced the cat.

Scar nodded, "Ah, Rivertail, isn't it?" The cat didn't move, but flicked his ears in reply. "I'm not going to hurt you, or the she-cat that was hiding with you." The tom's eyes flashed, and Scar knew that this cat hadn't expected him to figure out that there was another cat with him. Although a kit probably could have figured it out.

Rivertail flexed his muscles, "Why aren't you attacking?"

Scar twitched his whiskers, amused. "Why does it matter? I would think that you'd be happy, not asking questions." He smiled slightly, "This discussion doesn't need to continue, I'll leave you two here." He stood and took a few steps away, "And I won't tell anyone where you are, don't worry." A moment later, he jumped into a quick trot, and disappeared around a tree.

Rivertail let the fur on his back settle, then he returned to Featherdance. He brushed his head against hers, and sighed. "That was close, but don't worry. I think that cat is going to let us go." He looked into her lovely eyes and purred, "I won't let anything happen to you."

[padamay]

Featherdance smiled. Yet, she knew that Rivertail had ment well in protecting her, but... but what if she herself choose to try and protect him? She sighed and closed her eyes.

[~Spring~]

An intense anger burned bright in the eyes of a young Warrior. She had been hunting at the river, and was on her way back to camp to drop the fish she caught in the fresh-kill pile. But that didn't matter to her anymore. The only thing that mattered to her right now was protecting her clan from the Dead Plains cats that had so blatantly mocked the clan boundaries and even the clan's way of life. It was almost as if she was blind to everything else.

Fawnstripe had a feeling that this day would come, and she would die to protect her clan.

It was an unrelenting anger that shone in her eyes. But, along with that anger, there was also determination, as she had absolutely no intention of running away. Fawnstripe had gotten lost when she was a kit, and had nearly forgotten about the clan that she had come from. That, she knew, was something she never wanted to happen to her again.

"Need some help Musefaith?" She said, as she narrowed her eyes at the Dead Plains cat named Riddle and unsheathed her claws. "You Dead Plains cats are fools for coming here. You might not believe it, but I believe that your evil hearts have left you star-crossed..." Her voice trailed off into a whisper, and she aimed her claws at the side of the Dead Plains cat.

Riddlepaw jumped into front of her father and took the blwo from Fawnstripe. "No!" she shouted in protest. As soon as the claws enetred her pelt she yowled in pain. She would not anyone hurt her father. Familes had to keep together no matter the cost.

[Crowy]

"IRddlepaw!" Musefaith growled at her adoptive daughter. "Clan before kin, I told you that time and time again! These cats should not be here! I told them if they wanted their kits to live a happy life, they should never return or I would drive them out myself. I may be old, but I'm still a warrior! Now, go help your siblings!" She pushed Riddlepaw away. A hard push, enough to move her away but not so hard it pushed her to the ground.

Musefaith growled at Riddle, and leapt at him, slashing at his left with her claws, then biting at his ear. Riddlepaw would not get in the way.

[padamay]

Riddlepaw staired at her father was attacked. "I love you." she mouthed and turned to find her siblings.

[Annikia]

Aya strolled randomly into the camp, ignoring the battle. "Hmmm..." She sniffed the air. Milk... She wandered towards the nursery and entered calmly. 'Kits, kits, kits! Which one should I pick?' She murmured, sniffing them.


(Aya is a little paranoid, she wants kits so bad. She secretly likes Errie and want to have kits because she feels it well reek revenge on her mother for not caring for her. She wants to prove that she is an amazing mother. (Which she would be))

[padamay]

(LOL Erie can fall in love with her secterly and they can have kits

Erie appeared out of no where and watched as Aya entered the nursey. "Perfect." he followed in after her and swated some over-protective queens and caught two new kits in his jaws.
Maplekit squirmed in the jaws a cat. This was not her mother or father. "Mama! Dada!" she cried.

[Annikia]

Aya randomly picked up some kits and looked expectantly at Erie. 'Well? Get us out of here! Don't just stand there!'

(Lol, this is how Aya shows affection.)

[Swimfast]

Mistpaw gasped as the strange cats entered the nursery, her fur shot up and she yowled, "Help!"

Nightpaw lunged into the nursery, he sharply growled and his fur stood straight. "Put those kits down, now!" His eyes flashed and he looked at the cats, energy pulsed though his body, he would do anything to protect his mate and kits. Nightpaw unsheathed his claws and lifted a paw into the air, "Are you going to put the kits back, and go away?" His eyes glowed and he grit his teeth as he continued, "Or, do I have to make you?"

Songkit crouched behind Mistpaw as she watched the scene. Her eyes were wide with fear, and her body was shaking. Suddenly, a strange voice seemed to flow through her head. Songkit, help them. She opened her mouth, and squished herself even closer to the nursery wall and Mistpaw. She thought, I can't fight! I'm not even an apprentice yet! What can I do? The smooth and calming voice replied, Songkit, there are so many things that you can do. You just haven't discovered them yet, and you won't, unless you try. You may be young, but there is still something you can do... So many things, that you can do... Songkit swallowed and fear seemed to hold her body in a tight grasp. Her eyes suddenly locked onto the tail of one of the strange cats. She bunched her muscles as much as she could, and leaped into the air. She landed directly on top of it, then sunk her little claws and teeth into it as hard as she could. A split second later, she turned and sprinted back to Mistpaw, and hid behind her.

Nightpaw watched Songkit in shock, then took a step forward and looked into one of the cats straight in the eyes, "Leave us alone, and leave. Now." His tail swayed from side to side as he locked his gaze into the cat's eyes.

[padamay]

Erie grinned evily through his bundle of maple and white kit.
He flicked his tail and cats filed in through the entrance and made way for Aya and Erie.
One of the Deadplains cats, a dark pelted brown tom growled hatefully, "Randsome are what we want." he growled and got into potion to fight the male.

[Annikia]

"OW! YOU DIRTY LITTLE RUNT!" Aya screamed at Songkit, lunging for her, but missing. She quickly tore out of the nursery, running with defenseless kits in her mouth. 'Stinkin, little pest! Look at my tail!' Her tail was swelling. 'Fox-dung! She had sharp teeth.' She thought. Her tail was alarmingly large now, It looked like a new flower about to bloom. She stopped to rest in a small glade. 'Ugh.'

(I am assuming that Songkit bit Aya.)

[padamay]

Erie caught up with her and sighed. "That looks like it's hurt?" he asked.

[Annikia]

'No, It's just swelling rapidly and probably is going to explode soon, but I'm completely fine.' Aya said, sarcasm dripping from her voice. 'Ow! Yeah, It's hurt.'

[padamay]

Erie smiled and laughed let me go and force a medicine cat to fix you up.

[Annikia]

Aya smiled. She felt like she was floating high above the ground, over the trees. Her heart felt light. "Which one?"

[Swimfast]

As the cats ran from the nursery he suddenly turned and bolted after them. His fur stood straight, anger and energy throbbed through his body, as he weaved between trees.

Mistpaw gasped but in the next moment Nightpaw was gone. She tilted her head and shouted, "Help! Please! Their taking my kits!" She was now shaking, as she curled herself around the rest of her kits.

Nightpaw skidded to a stop, and crouched in front of the two cats. They still had the kits, and his eyes flashed as he stared at them. "I told you to leave the kits alone, and go away. But you didn't listen." He voice was hard, and as finished speaking he bunched his muscles. Then he locked in on one of the cats, and pushed off of the ground. He soared through the air, then tackled into one of the cats.

[padamay]

Erie felt a cats body land on him. "Hump!" he said and knocked the tom off of him and growled. "Yeah what-ever. You'll get your kits back if Riverclan's Medicine cat Comes with us." he smirked and patted the maple and white tabby lightly on the head.
~~~~~~~~~
Maplekit cried as the tom put his huge paw on her head. She looked up at her pleading father.

[Swimfast]

Nightpaw rolled back onto his paws and stared into Maplekit's pleading eyes. He sighed, "You'll have to come back to camp." He glanced at the other cat's injured tail, "Dawnlight might need supplies from her den."

He nodded in the direction of the camp, and lifted a paw off of the ground. A slight breeze rolled through the trees as he murmured, "After you."
