The [Tiger] in the [Pheonix]

[Deleted]

PheonixPaw stared right back into his, her eyes hollow. At least, to her, they felt hollow; her heart feeling like that as well. She really didn't want to go, but she didn't want TigerStorm hurt.

"I-I-I know.. but I don't want you hurt.. or C-C-Cause trouble to the clan!"

PheonixPaw's eyes were starting to water, and her legs were trembling with how hard this was for her. She couldn't take it, take any of it.

Clear sat there, and licked his chest. He thought he won, he thought he did.

Is This

Brokenpaw took a pawstep closer to Phoenixpaw. "Come on, stay here! At least give Tigerstorm the chance to fight. I mean, nobody wants you to leave except them," he mewed, adding a bit of a snarl on his last word, angling his ears toward the grown loner cats. "I mean, you never seemed like the type of cat who just gave in like this. I thought you were strong." He looked down at his paws after saying that, a little sad.

The Real You?

"Phoenixpaw...I will let you go if you want me to. But I know you don't want to go. You don't have to. My life is a warrior, which means protecting things I love. Including you..." Tigerstorm said softly, licking the top of her head easily as if to stop the shaking. "Don't worry about me, I won't get hurt. Please trust me."

[Deleted]

PheonixPaw kept listening to TigerSTorm, and bumped her head to his. She trusted this tom, she believed in him, and most importantly, he was her role-model.

She wanted to be like him when she grew up, she was sure of it.

Then, BrokenPaw said something, something that made her claws trickle, something that made her fur prickle.

"I am strong!"

She growled, her eyes now filling with something else, something other than depression, Fury. Anger. Frustration.

"Do you doubt me? Do you think that I am not?"

As if on something, like a script, she leapt over BrokenPaw, infront of her parents. Her pads trickled with anger.

"Get out of my territory, ShadowClan's territory. You are no longer my parents, you are no longer my family. This clan, ShadowClan, is my family now. And you; Clear and Venus, are not in it. Leave."

She took a few steps back, and started padding to TigerStorm. She whispered in his ear, but after she was done whispering--

"Kill him.",

She gave it a lick, trying to hide her murmur.

-

Clear lashed his tail back and forth, not liking this one bit.

"I'll force you back home, I will force you back into this family, Flora!"

It's Over

Brokenpaw tried to hide a smile by looking down at his paws again. Just what he had wanted. The tortoiseshell apprentice knew that this Clanmate had a spark, a fiery personality hidden below the tears. And he didn't want to lose another denmate. Not so soon. Not again.

Now

[Deleted]

Tigerstorm smiled as he watched her get mad, shaking his head. This was the she-cat he had found out in the forest moons ago. He nodded to her, smiling and whispering back. "I won't let you down..." He then turned to Clear, crouching down and baring his teeth. "Get ready, you're going to lose."

[Deleted]

PheonixPaw sat by BrokenPaw, her eyes flashing with defiance. She knew TigerStorm well, she knew he would win. Clear wouldn't stand a chance. Let alone, he was still suffering from the old battle with Cicatrice.

-

Clear laughed, his tail tip twitching.

He went to lunge himself at TigerStorm, paws outstreatched, claws unsheathed.

"I don't think so!"

Tigerstorm was surprisingly agile for his large size and he quickly ducked down and rolled out of the way. As soon as Clear's back was to him, since he was unable to stop his failed attack, he turned on him and used his great size and strength of pounce on his back and pin him. "Give up. I don't want to hurt you."

[Deleted]

Venus scrambled away, so she wasn't caught in the fighting. "No! Clear!" Tears fell from her eyes, her claws digging into the ground. She couldn't bear to hear the fighting, the scent of anger and fear.

[Deleted]

Clear had felt the tom on his back, which made him roll over. Of course, it probably didn't succeed. And it didn't.

Instead of that, he arched his back quickly, trying to get him off.

"Never! I want my daughter!"

-

PheonixPaw's eyes glared at the gray tom.

"I am no longer your daughter!"

-

That only made Clear angrier, soon going limp.

"I don't want to hurt you, leave now and don't come back!" Tigerstorm snarled, ears flattening as he held on to the tom beneath him. When he went limp, he loosened his grip, confused to what the tom was doing. "Give up?"

[Deleted]

When she noticed TigerStorm starting to loosen his grip, PheonixPaw yowled.

"No Tight--"

Before she could finish, Clear had moved all his might in his legs, and jumped up. Since TigerStorm had loosened his grip, he should at least of been thrown off slightly.

If it did work, possibly, he would of auto-matically turned, and went to bowl into the tom.

Tigerstorm stumbled back in surprise, only to be knocked back as they barreled into him. He tried to get his footing but with his size, well...as they say, bigger they are harder they fall. He unsheathed his claws and bared his teeth, growling as he tried to push him off.

[Deleted]

Clear tried to dig his hind paws into the tom's underbelly, to shred them. He didn't think he would be able to, but who knows?

He had his front legs beside his head, but then again, on his shoulders, trying to keep him down. He bared his teeth in the tom's face, snapping at his muzzle.

"You give up!"

-

"TigerStorm, no!"

Without another second to lose, she leapt at her father, them two rolling and rolling all over the ground, fur flying everywhere. No, not PheonixPaw's, only Clear's.

It seemed as if she wasn't getting touched.

Tigerstorm managed to avoid the blows until suddenly Clear was off him. "Ph-Phoenixpaw!" He got up, startled she had jumped in. He wanted to jump in, but he was afraid he might hit Phoenixpaw in the process. He could only watch helplessly and worriedly.
