Dead heart...(Open)

[Deleted]

Tigerfang hung lazily around the gorges edge wonder who might or might not show up. He was settled by a tree in the shade and was looking out over the gorge his paws hanging out over the edge. His ribs showed through on his side and his fur wasn't clean like it normally was he himself had gone in a downward spiral..

[Deleted]

It felt good to be alive, at least for this beautiful looking she-cat. She was prancing in the grass, being about eye-high. She was prancing over it, looking just like a hopping rabbit, not paying attention.

She was purring excitedly, and when the grass left from her paws, she paused. She stood there, and sighed. She shook her head, but then saw a tom. A tom all alone, and he looked sad. Although, she noticed, that he was hanging off of the edge. If she scared him, he might fall. Then again, she could catch him! But, she was a puffball.. But she ignored that thought.

She couched low to the ground, although her scent could be detected. It was a milky scent, for she has been visiting the two-legs. Or rather, Nofurs, what she calls them. She loved their milk, about the only thing she accepted from them. Okay, maybe a pet here and there.

Daisy slowly prowled forward, and then tapped the back of his tail, and purred.

"Hello!"

Tigerfang lifted his head and turned to the bouncy she-cat "why hello, are you here to relax too?" he asked with a small but pitiful smile. He waved his tail across the ground "Do you wish to stay and chat?" he asked with a dull gaze in his eyes.

[Deleted]

She wrinkled her nose, and shrugged her small shoulders. She was a full-grown she-cat, but she looked almost like a kit. Well, she had the attitude, that's for sure!

She was bouncy, always bouncy. All she did was give a large grin, and a purr, slowly padding up beside him. She laid down next to the tom, and just shrugged once more, her dark brown tail swishing, which seemed odd with her white fur, although there were patches of brown and cream.

"Sure! Name's Daisy!"

She purred.

Tigerfang nodded "Names Tigerfang Shadowclan warrior" he mewed dipping his head. "So your a loner? hmm I sometimes wish I could leave from the life I have and be free from my past" He mewed he didn't like how Leafheart had been acting around him and it seemed like she was making sure that it burned his soul..

[Tanglekit]

Wolfstorm growled bitterly. Why was it that every lost kitten had to plant their stinky rump at the Gorge. Her claws dug into the earth when she thought of how close these loners where to her kits. Her kits that where not going to be jeopardized just some some rogues could sit and chat. "Why does every cat with a problem have to come here?", she growled darkly letting her white form emerge from the shadows. A eveil grin played at her lips and a fearl snarl had reveald her pearly whites.

[Deleted]

Daisy grinned at the tom, and purred.

"Hang out with me then! I don't worry about a thing! All I do is have fun, and spill my worries everywhere, by ignoring them!"

She grinned, but then turned to look at WolfStorm.

"We are free to roam, we are free to talk! We are free to have fun."

She purred, smiling cheerfully at the other she-cat.

[Tanglekit]

Wolfstorms grin disappeared and she crept nearer. "What gives you the right to intrude on my camp?", she hissed unsheathing her claws. If it need be she would rake some claws into anybody who got to close. As a mother she had a right to be moody and protective. And anyone who ha a problem would get it!

Memories

Kiki had been roaming the land along the gorge, not really paying attention as to where she was going, just thinking about the night she had spent with Tigerfang in the secret cove. When it had just been the two of them and the stars. It was so unlike her to be mooning over a tom like this, but the loner she-cat didn't care. She really liked this tom in a way she'd never thought possible, and it made her happy.

The black she-cat had thought that she was smelling the dark tabby's old scents when she came closer to the gathering group of cats, but was surprised to find him really there. Kiki smiled and bounded over, coming up from behind up without seeing Daisy or Wolfstorm there, and stopped beside the warrior. "Hello again, Tigerfang," she purred, and then finally noticed the two other she-cats there. She didn't know Daisy, but she smelled of kittypet milk, and made a mental note that she would probably be an easy kill. The other she-cat, though... She seemed familiar.

Then she remembered. "Oh, I remember you! Little Wolfpaw." Kiki blinked her yellow eyes as she looked her over, not thinking her a threat. "You've grown a bit, but that's the same white pelt of yours. You were with those other loners talking about LurkClan, last time I saw you. How's that working out?"

[Tanglekit]

Wolfstorm snickered at Kiki not really sure if they had ever properly met, but she seemed to know her name, or her old name. But anyhow she seemed to have known her from somewhere. Curiosity prickled at ehr pelt when she thought of the many times she had talked of Lurkclan with the loners, had Kiki been among them one of those occasions. If so had they ever really talked of how serious the threat of Lurkclan was. Imminent as it might be she pushed Lurkclan aside and decided that Kiki would be a splendid ally if it ever came around to a fight, so she would behave for now.

She glanced warily back to her den before looking at Tigerfang, now this cat was related to her bloodwise. He was Shadowclan and a big one at that. Her father had been on the smaller side yet he had stricken fear into the heart of all of the clans. She smiled with pride when she thought of her family tree, glancing back at the cats around her. Her eyes narrowed into slits when she wondered if they had any other relation that blood, maybe Fallenstar and Tigerfang had been kin, but no one would ever know.

Wolfstorm refocused just in time to hear Kiki's question. She looked her over once more before relaxing slightly. "It's Wolfstorm and our first generation is sleeping nearby. I would say we are doing really well.", she said without much enthusiasm or tone. She didn't care to share the success of her clan or that ehr kits were nearby. Nothing could harm them while she was standing here, not even a svage bear would lay a toe on her kits.

Tigerfang sat up and cleaned his fur, after it had been clean her looked up and sat beside Kiki and gave her a nuzzle "Hello hun" he mewed then looked to Wolfstorm with his Ivory fangs showing in his smile and he unsheathed his claws as well just in case something where to happen. The tom may have been starving himself but he kept his body muscle up for the record him losing weight would have helped him move faster. Anyways Kiki even knew what his favourite past time was...killing. In fact it was a big part of what also bonded them together "Wolfstorm, Pleasure to meet you " he mewed bowing his head down to show respect.

Thinking Back

Kiki nuzzled the tabby in return while listening to Wolfstorm's report on LurkClan. She wasn't really all that interested, since in her mind it was just another group of cats trying to make themselves sound big by putting down scent lines. She could take care of any warrior with a couple of attacks to the neck. The loner had done it before, so there wasn't a doubt in her mind she could do it again.

She had seen the of of doubt in the she-cat's eyes at the mention of knowing her. Sorry, it has been a long time. You were an apprentice back then, I suppose. You were busy telling off a bunch of loners- including myself, rambling on about LurkClan not needing loner filth or something or the other. Let's see, I knew a few. Leo was there, I think; I used to know her faintly. And then old Conto. Old thing. I found his body dead a few moons ago." Kiki hadn't really cared about the old tom, but he'd been pleasant enough. He'd been ancient in any case, broken and blind.

The black she-cat twitched her whiskers at the mention of the first generation of kits. "Well, that's good, I suppose." The white she-cat certainly didn't seem excited about it; her tone didn't match her words. "Are they yours? You look a little plump." Her yellow eyes looked Wolfstorm up and down as if to note the fact. She was reminding her of Mika, who she hadn't talked to in some time. I need to check up on her soon, see if she's alright.

[Tanglekit]

Wolfstorm thought over the many times she had met Leo and Conto together just by chance. She had never really enjoyed the talks of loners wanting to join Lurkclan, sure it would be safer for them in a clan, but this clan was different and they only trusted family. She shook her head mildly when the she-cat inquired about the kits. "Of Course they are mine Nit-wit. Eventhough I am an evil cat I don't want any stolen kits. Thats to much work to train them to have as much instinct and potential as my kits already have.", and sure she was plump. She had to keep her milk rich and her belly full to make the strongest of kits.

She left where she was sitting to stand closer to her den. She noticed the change in posture, and unsheathing of claws when Tigerfang looked her over. Eventhough she wasn't still with Thunderclan she could fight in many more ways than Thunderclan style. With Swiftsun she had mastered every clans styles and techniques except Riverclan but she would master that soon enough. She had a glint in her eye when she thought about blood. How soothing it would be to rip some fur and taste some blood.

She glanced back at ehr kits once more before she really understood who these cats where. She had heard through the grapevine that Tigerfang had left his family for Kiki, thus providing the whole forst with plenty of gossip. She had heard rumors and whisperings of a distraught queen and no doubt Tanglestar had heard and decided to lend a paw. Because even if Leafheart didn't know Tanglestar would let no one harm her sister, emotionally or physically.

A chortled laugh rumbled through her throat and her sides began to hurt with no oxygen. "You know Tanglestar will be coming for you.", she laughed and giggled rolling on the floor getting dirt all through her pelt.

Who Are You Again?

Kiki really couldn't have cared less for Wolfstorm's insult. Trivial kit-throws were not something she bothered herself over. But when the white she-cat began rolling around in the earth, then she raised a brow. What was all this about? The black loner gave a glance to Tigerfang. Maybe she was insane, after all. Kiki herself was not completely right in the head, but she'd managed to develop something of a sense over what other cats considered 'normal.' Clearly, this was not one of them.

The black she-cat twitched her whiskers. "You may be a queen, but you sure act like a little kit." The primary purpose of saying that was not to start a pointless bicker, but rather see if this she-cat had any sense in her at all. Kiki like to have a good analysis on hand about other cats, just in case she ever needed to take their life. "And what are you talking about Tanglestar for? No cat here has done anything to her. Besides, you're the one who left her Clan. I'm sure she wouldn't be fond of finding you out here having kits with an outsider."

[Deleted]

Tigerfang nodded in agreement to Kiki's statement "Yes what do you mean by Tanglestar? I nor any cat have done something to bother her" he mewed in confusion. Tigerfang was unsure of who she was talking about though when she said Tanglestar will be coming for you.
