[shadow=red,left,300]It was quiet, the air was thick with fear. From far over the hills a blood curdling screech made the very hairs on your back slowly rise with caution. She did not where she was, or what was going on, but there was something in the air, that told her she had been here before...[/shadow]
A chilling breeze flew into the warriors den. Blackrose could hear the chattering of her clanmates as she slowly opened her golden eyes. She could see Cloudclan was busy doing the morning schedule. Knowing she wouldn't be able to get back to sleep, she stiffly rose to her paws and let out a lethargic yawn. As she strolled out of the den a severe and sharp pain aroused in her empty stomach. Blackrose noticed that the prey pile was a bit low, so she asked, "Would anyone like to go hunting with me?"
ooc; Can we go hunting with other cats or do we have to be assigned to?

Abyssflame trotted into camp with two other Warriors, fresh-kill hanging from each of their jaws. They had all just gotten back from dawn patrol and they were tired.... well, except for Abyssflame. He was as hyper as a kit and needed something else to do. When he heard Blackrose's question, his ears pricked and he dropped the mouse he caught on the ground.
"Sure", the meowed and he pawed his way over to her. "I'd be glad to go with you."
To hide his eagerness to get out again, he started licking his chest and averted his eyes from Blackrose, trying to put on a uncaring look.
"....And as long as no mousebrained fools come along, of course...." He mummbled quietly.

Blackrose beamed with delight. Abyssflame was her first friend, they had met in the nursery.
"Well come on Abyssflame, let's go!" She called to him as she strided over to the camp entrance. The morning sunshine warmed the ground just enough to thaw out a slick coat of ice that had formed the day before. When Blackrose was on a patrol yesterday she skidded down and crashed into a bush. She looked up into the sky although it was sunny and cheerful out, an ominous cloud floated in the sky. Blackrose kept thinking of her odd dream, but tried acting like nothing was wrong on the hunt with her friend.

Cloakedclaw exited the nursery, happy at seeing his mate and his kits. He padded to the two warriors and meowed, Mind if I come along? I asked my brother to train with Indigopaw today. He sat down with a quiet thump, and drew his tongue over his chest fur a couple times. It had been ruffled by his kits. They need to be apprenticed soon, He thought.

Dapplekit bounded out of the nursery after her father. She pounced on his back and climbed until her paws were hanging over his head. She rested her chin on Cloakedclaws head and grinned. "Can I come hunting too, Daddy? Pleeeaaasse??"

Abyssflame let out a deep, irritated growl at the two new arivals. He wisped around to face the two, his eyes as cold as stone and his chest puffed out pridefully. "I guess I didn't add my last comment loud enough," he began, "So I'll repeat myself: 'No mousebrained fools', which means that you," he flicked his tail in Cloakedclaw's direction, "and you", at Dapplekit, "are to stay here and leave me the heck alone, mmmmmkay?" He let out another growl and stalked over to Blackrose, his tail twitching in a frustrated manner. (Ooc: Just so you know, I say teh more teh merrier, so just ignore the jackass cat and come along pleeeaaase.  ) |

Dapplekit let out a well-praticed growl and jumped off her father's head. She stood in front of Abyssflame and glared at him, "Shut-up, foxdung! Maybe it'll do ya good if you had a decent personality!" she snorted and held her chinhigh. Her eyes blazed angrily, "And never insult my dad!" [/color][/blockquote] |

Blackrose chuckled and let out a deep sigh, "Always having hissy fits aren't you Abyssflame?" She smiled sweetly at the young kit, "You may come Dapplekit, only if your father let's you. It's a big world out there you know!" Blackrose twitched her black whiskers, "Why once I saw a red fox out in the woods, although most cats are afraid and hate them with burning passion, I think of it like cats and mice. We need food so we kill mice, foxes need food so if they see a stray cat that's helpless they take us down." She slid next to the kit and ran her tail down Dapplekit's back, "But we will make sure nothing happens to you."

Abyssflame blinked and turned back at Dapplekit. He had to admit, he was impressed with the kit's bravery, but of course he'd never actually tell her that. Instead he narrowed his eyes into slits and gave the kit a dark gaze.
"Listen 'ere, flower. The idea of a younger cat standing up to a Warrior is mouse-brained enough, but a mere kit? I'm not going to explain the idiocy in that and," he stood up taller and loomed over the kit, his eyes locked into hers, "I like my way of thinking and myself in general, and I don't wish to change myself just because a kit thinks I'm a meany-face piece of fox-dung."
Abyssflame snarled and looked at Blackrose.
"And you forgot to mention all of the wild, hungry beasts out there that could easily maim a kit, Ms. Blackrose! Like badgers that could kill a kit with one swipe of it's paw or a hawk that could swoop out of the air and kidnap a kit, dragging it off to it's nest to tear it limb-from-limb and eat it! Just like what happened to my poor, poor friend when he was a kit.... swooped away and never found again....". He shook his head at the thought of the non-exsistant kit and gave Dapplekit a fake sympathetic glance. "You wouldn't want to be crowfood, would you?"

Blackrose's eyes showed no fear just pity, "Do you ever smile?" Blackrose glanced at Dapplekit, "If anything happens to you, I bet you would slice it in half wouldn't you!" She beamed and turned back to the large white tom, "Who was this 'kit friend' of yours, I didn't know you had friends before me!" She glanced at the rising morning sun, it's rays warming her black fur.

Frick! Abyssflame hadn't expected Blackrose to question him on the kit.
"No, I don't smile, and, well, his name was....... KeepaskingmeaboutthiskitandI'llclawyou....kit." He said with fake smile. "Look'it! Maybe I can smile like the rest of you mousebrains!!"

Cloakedclaw's fur bristled and he glared at Abyssflame with all the hatred that could be contained within one's eyes. He snorted and meowed, Any piece of foxdung that could go near you would probably die anyway. Come on Dapplekit, I don't want you near anyone so vile. He spat the last word, flicking his tail onto his kit's shoulders and led her away. Let's go out behind the nursery. There's always a mouse or two there. He smiled softly at her.
Stripedpaw exited the apprentices' den, clearing having heard what was said the ner brother and neice. You piece of.. Mouse dung eating fox hearted vulture... She hissed, her eyes glowering. You resent everyone who tries to come near you and be friendly. In my books, that makes you the mouse-brained fool. She held her chin high and glared defiantly into his eyes. If he thought he could insult her or her family, he had probably never met her.

Abyssflame let out a small purr of amusement at Cloakedclaw's huffy exit, then turned his attention to Stripedpaw.
"Resent? Naw, that's not exactly the level I'd describe it on..... 'mega loathe', if you will", he quickly licked a patch of fur on his chest that was ruffled and looked back into the apprentice's eyes. "'Mouse dung eating fox hearted vulture'?!" He gasped. "Oh no! My feelings are hurt so badly now that I'm going to cry to my mommy and hide in the nursury for the rest of the day just so I can get past that horrible, horrible tounge lashing you just gave me!"
He gave a small, obviously fake whimper and turned back to Blackrose.
"Can we go before this little girl scars me for life? I'm not sure how much more of this I can handle!"
Abyssflame quickly dropped the act, snarled at Stripedpaw, and flicked his tail impatiently.
"Seriously, Blackrose, let's go before some other whiney-puss comes up and tries to get me to change my life and treat others kindly, because StarClan knows I just don't have that in me." He growled.

Stripedpaw swiped a paw in his direction, claws out. Maybe you should roll over and die! Then no one would ever have to suffer being on patrol with you ever again! She yowled at him, face bent in a snarl.

Dapplekit beamed up at Blackrose, "Of course I would! those stupid mouse-brains wouldn't stand a chance against me!" She hopped around before walking off towards the nursery with her dad. "Dad, when we get there can you show me how to pounce?" she flicked her ears curiously.
Nightfur trotted away from Ivorypeach as she heard the cats arguing. She padded up to them and stood defiant before them. She glared at Abyssflame with cold eyes and put her tail in front of Stripedpaw to stop her from clawing her fellow clanmate. "Put the claws away and let me handle this,"[/color] she ordered softly, turning her head to face Abyssflame. She snarled to herself the said, "Why don't you go on patrol Abyssflame? I want you to take Blackrose, Cloakedclaw, and... how about I come too? If this patrol doesn't teach you a lesson, then will have to see what Stromstar thinks."[/color] The deputy straightened herself and nodded to the grumpy tom, her voice like ice, "Well, you're the lead of this patrol. Are we gonna get goin'?"[/color] Ivorypeach got up from her spot and walked over to her apprentice. She laid her tail across the she-cat's shoulder's and hissed, "Back off, bug-brain."[/color] She nodded curtly to Stripedpaw, "C 'mon, let's go train."[/color][/sub][/blockquote] |

Cloakedclaw stopped walking. Nightfur, I was going to teach dapplekit how to pounce, so could I skip out? And if I go near that tom, there's no way you can blame me for my actions. He meowed truthfully, dipping his head in respect to the deputy.
Stripedpaw aimed one last hiss at Abyssflame, meowing, You're so full of yourself. You should learn to shut up and respect cats for once. Or maybe you should roll ove and die. She flicked her tail in his face, swiping his nose, and padded away, her chin held high.

Abyssflame straightened himself and looked after Stripedpaw, using everything in him to keep his words from coming out in snarles and hisses.
"'Atta girl. Keep talking and acting like that and you'll end up like the amazing thing that ya hate so much." He wrapped his tail around his paws, his amythist eyes gazing at her and shining brightly in the sun's light. "Soon enough we'll be two egotistic peas in a narsisstic pod." he purred mockingly.
With that, he turned his head towards Nightfur and gave a slight shrug. "Sure thing, though I've never heard of a cat being punished for being... 'ethicly incorrect'." His eyes gazed off uncaringly. "If I would've swiped at one of them with unsheathed claws, then I'd understand," he mummbled quietly, half to himself.
Abyssflame stretched himself quickly and pawed over to the camp's exit. "Well, shall we?"

Blackrose looked down at her paws heart-sick for her friend, Why does he have to have a cold heart to others...I know deep down he's a good cat, but why doesn't he show it? She looked up to the patrol, a crestfallen look fell upon her as she lagged behind the patrol. She felt guilty for Abyssflame, always getting yelled at. She murmured, He deserves it... As she entered the forest, she saw two cardinals sitting on a oak branch. They chattered as she stared at them. I wonder what it's like to be a bird, to fly, and be preyed on by predators... A deep flapping noise sounded above the patrol, "Hawk!" Blackrose screamed. But the hawk flew at the cardinal and attempted to kill it. The cardinal struggled with all it's might, but the hawk was too strong. Reminds me of someone I know...

[ooc] I think Barrenpaw and Abyssflame have a lot in common LOL. BD
"You know, just because I'm not the most well-trained apprentice around, you don't need to leave me behind."
The puzzling mew came from the apprentice's den, followed by the messy sand-colored - well, duller than sand; Barrenpaw's pelt was very lackluster - ball of fur that was Barrenpaw. He was growing up well, however, and now his legs seemed to be getting stronger and bulkier. For some reason he wasn't as stocky as the other apprentices his age, and he noticed the same thing about Barleypaw and Treepaw. His tail suddenly lashed from side to side as his temper grew inside him. "What if I wanted to go too?!" he spat, in a split second going from his calm-sophist-like attitude to his I-want-to-claw-your-face-off vibe. [/color][/blockquote]

Tansykit had felt her sister leave the nursery. She had felt the warmth of Dapplekit's warm tortoiseshell pelt leave her side, and shivered in cold. Tansykit pushed her little body closer to her mother and Frostkit, but her free side was pricked with cold. Giving up on sleep, the ginger and white kitten struggled to her paws. She blinked her wide, blind green eyes and yawned, showing rows of tiny white teeth. Tansykit shook herself and padded out of the nursery into the snow. The cold did not surprise her; she had scented the presence of the soft white blanket before her paws had sunk into it. Tansykit perked up when Dapplekit's voice drifted towards her, though she was startled that it sounded angry. And her father was snarling, too. Tansykit flattened her ears. She hated arguments. Using her ears and nose, the kit padded to where her sister and father stood. She caught Barrenpaw's loud, arrogant tones, and sniffed. Turning her head, she collided with a furry side. "Oh, sorry," she murmured, backing away and blinking her sightless eyes rapidly. The cat smelt like Abyssflame; it was him. "Sorry," she aplogized again, standing awkwardly, prodding the snow with her paws. |

As big of a jackass as Abyssflame was, not even he could torment a blind kit. A kit that could see, yes, but that was as far as he'd go.
"It's okay," He meowed softly, brushing some snow off of Tansykit's fur with his tail, "You just need to be a bit more careful until you've gained your sight", he added with a nod, then walked over to Barrenpaw, his normal, prideful, cruel self returning.
"Well, no one really wanted you to go, what, with you still being hardly more than a whiny little kit and having the temper of a whiny little kit." His tail swished from side to side, getting impatient with all of the delays. "And don't even try to compare me with you in that area, because I can tell you were thinking of doing it. Ya see, instead of demanding why people didn't love me enough and care about me and my whiny, pathetic self, I would've just jumped right into the patrol. So, for the rest of the day, you shall be called Whinykit. Blackrose, Nightfur, Whinykit, let's roll." He growled the last part impatiently and pointed his tail towards the entrance of the camp.

Cloakedclaw noticed his blind kit stumbling. He raced over to her and gently nudged her to Dapplekit. He glared at Abyssflame before leading his kit away. Tansykit, Dapplekit, want to learn how to pounce? He asked them, flicking snow off of Tansykit.

"Fine! I didn't want to come anyway!" Barrenpaw spat at the proud tom. What was wrong with that cat?! Unsheathing his claws, Barrenpaw couldn't help himself: he quickly ran a claw through Abyssflame's nose before the more experienced tom could fight back.

((LOL, yupp ^_^ and sorry about spelling Cloakedclaw's name wrong))
A brown pelt slithered up beside Barrenpaw. She ran the tip of her tail down his spine, purring. "Calm down," she soothed, "Maybe we can go on our own patrol, how about a border patrol, I think I had enough hunting from yesterday... stupid vole," she added to herself.
The she-cat snapped her eyes in Abyssflame's direction and her pupils shrunk until they were snake slits. She hissed silently and her eyes grew piercing cold, full of the most loathing you could probably ever stuff into an iris. "Slimy, shallow, piece of dung," Otterpaw snarled quietly and held her chin high.
Nightfur turned her sharp gaze back to the group of cats. She shot a slight glare at Barrenpaw, "Hold your temper, young one, if you want to go on this patrol, you can. And Abyssflame, call Barrenpaw by his rightful name." [/color] Dapplekit bounced up to her sister, "Come on, Tansykit! Let's go learn to pounce!"[/sub][/blockquote] |

Abyssflame's eyes flared up as blood slid into his mouth, drop by drop. His eyes turned into sharp, unblinking stones as his gaze pierced through Barrenpaw as if he was a vacant, ghostly figure. He ignored Otterpaw's stares of pure hatred as he pawed over to his attacker and loomed over him, his eyes now narrow pools of disgust.
"Listen here you little piece of insignificant, worthless crap," he hissed just loud enough for Barrenpaw alone to hear, "The next time you or any other flea-infested furball in this dump lays a blow on me, I will mentally destroy them until they beg StarClan to take their life and then I will take their life in a slow, and very, very painful manner," he leaned forward until their eyes were a little less than a mouse-lenghth apart. "Do I make myself perfectly clear?"
Normally, Abyssflame wouldn't be angry enough to make such threats, but he had just gotten back from dawn partrol and within five minutes he had already been clawed at twice, insulted seven times - most of the time by cats under his rank, punished by his deputy for being himself, and worst yet, he was prevented from spending some with his closest - and only true - friend hunting together.
"The next time you find yourself along, I'm gonna kill ya." He said casually, then straightened up, let out a fake cheery meow and said, "Oh-ho-ho-kay! Cats going on patrol with me - Blackrose, Nightfur, Whinykit - let's go. I'm bored. I wanna go. Let's go go go go g-- just shut up and follow me."
With that, Abyssflame turned quickly and headed out the entrance, not stopping to wait for the others.
[Ooc:] Yeyness! Thankies, Kuri!.... though you probably hate him now. xD;

Nightfur snuffed and turned her attention to the rest of the group, "Come on, guys, we don't want this bozo to get lost," [/color] The deputy trotted after Abyssflame. ((This should be a hell of fun *sarcasm*))[/sub][/blockquote] |

Tansykit flattened her ears. "Sorry," she apologized again. She felt her father's comforting paws pull her back, and she snuggled into his warm, sweet-smelling fur. The kit pricked up her ears as Cloakedclaw suggested learning to pounce. "Um, okay," she mewed. "I'll try." Tansykit crouched slightly in fear as the voices behind her rose. She could still sense her father's anger. As Abyssflame and Barrenpaw's argument rose to a pitch, Tansykit flattened herself to the snow. The ginger and white kit instinctively shut her eyes as if to block out an image she could not see anyway. |

Blackrose who was deep in thought, had just heard the ruckus from inside the camp. She craned her head to look back and noticed that she was the only one walking and that she was alone. Blackrose pounded down the hill of the camp, "Abyssfalme what in the world are you doing!?" Her golden eyes now flaring, "I just wanted to go out hunting for our clan, not get you all riled up! If you hadn't gone complaining about the other cats joining then we wouldn't be in this mess!" Blackrose was infuriated. Normally she was a quiet and calm cat, but she hated arguments that had no point to them. "I thought this was a clan, a family, NOT a fighting arena!" Blackrose let out a hiss and stormed of back to the warriors den. Maybe that will show him he doesn't have to be such a smelly piece of fox-dung!

[ooc] Nah, he's still cool. <3 I know he's really a cute, fuzzy, bunny-lover on the inside. I... think. o__o;;
Barrenpaw ignored Abyssflame as Otterpaw appeared. "Come on!" he spat, leading the brown and grey apprentice towards the camp entrance. He turned back to snarl at the tom, happy that Blackrose was finally doing something about that stuck-up peice of foxdung.
Suddenly, something hit him like cold claws tearing through his fur. It was his worst nightmare, but it still seemed too real. Barrenpaw drooped his proud chin and set his gaze to the ground, something he rarely did. He looked back at Otterpaw sadly, for once modest instead of arrogant. "Otterpaw?" he asked in a small voice. "Am I... just like Abyssflame?" [/blockquote][/size]

A well muscled, broad shouldered dark tabby form appeared at the mouth of the warrior den, stretching each limb as he walked and yawning widely, letting the clearing get a good look of his large pearly fangs. He strolled casually towards the cats in the center of the clearing, but doubled back on himself as Blackrose came storming towards the warriors den. He followed her back into the dark den, stopping for a second to let his eyes adjust to the darkness. 'Blackrose? Is something wrong?' he asked quietly, so as not to wake the other sleeping bundles in the den. [/size] |
