Octoberlies looked up from his thoughts as a soft voice broke into his mind. The tom's cerulean eyes met the blue pair that belonged to Snowflake. He could tell it was her, because of the slash of darker colour in her right eye. The grey tabby blinked, then stared at Snowflake. "Jasminestar ordered me not to," he said in a final, beaten voice. Octoberlies sighed. He heard the yowls and ruckuss stop. The fight was over. "I should help Runningcloud." He mewed. The tom got to his paws, nodded to Snowflake, and limped out of the den. Octoberlies winced as his stomach seared, and his tail tip dragged along the rough ground. The sore patches welled up with pain. |

((Ack...I was waiting for Lonely, but I guess this'll have to go down now v.v ))
Chaosfire is dead...?
Lotus swallowed, standing at the edge of SerenityClan camp. She closed her kiwi-green eyes and recollected on what Teufel had said. She cursed and came to her lithe feet. She spat out a glob of blood as pain coursed through her lungs and muscles that screamed at her. She rolled her shoulders back and sprinted straight for Jasminestar.
Or rather, the rogue trying to ambush the leader from behind. The brown and black tabby collided with the tom over Jasminestar's body, rolling away in a ball of hissing and spitting. His paws whistled through the air. The moment she thrusted forward with a wave of claws, the tom's claws came out of nowhere, spiking deep across her back like a cat-o'-nine-tails. Lotus shoved the rogue tom back.
Lotus battered with all of her strength against the white and black arches curling around the tom's always-moving form. The male knocked the she-cat trailing him aside effortlessly before leaping at her again with the same speed. Lotus leapt back, slamming her paws down, but his claws caught her in the ribs, driving her to the hard, rocky ground as Lotus' thrust of talons sent the rogue tom twenty lengths in the opposite direction. Fur was ripped in the process, but she tossed it aside as she came to her feet.
The tom exploded into action. He was as nimble as a scorpion, and a rattlesnake-like swipe blocked Lotus' blows. She grunted, wiping away her blood coating her ears and forelegs. Thick bolts of pain shot up her body, but she ignored them. Her eyes rose as well as her claws as her dark body clamped around the tom like a boa's chokehold. The tom struggled and managed to get out of her grasp. Like a blood-scenting shark, Lotus came after him from the unsettled dust, screaming for his flesh. He struck her aside, and the streak of brown and black tabby split off violently and dissappated. In an instant, Lotus was scrambling towards him when the smoke cleared, ignoring his efforts.
He did not slow, lightning flashing from his eyes like the speed of the claws that stabbed blindly at the rogue deputy, but they meant to kill. Running, Lotus hastily dodged to the right. Yowls raced past as Lotus dodged crackling fangs, leapt over the ruts the fighters clawed into the earth. The air seemed to be on fire; the hair on her head stood on end. For that brief moment, she felt as she was going to die. Her endurance broke but she instantly fell crouched at the tom's feet. Her claws clutched the male's ankle, tossing him aside hard. He landed hard on his back, knocking the breath out of him. Lotus' head throbbed; she tasted blood in her mouth. Black swam into her vision, slowly growing. She swallowed a moan of pain and fell over at Jasminestar's paws.
The battle was over and she had given her life for someone she was told to kill. [/color][/blockquote]

A tom came barreling out from the shadows. Teufel's eyes welled with tears. "Lotus.." He whispered, unable to reach any higher pitch. ''It's all my fault.." He dropped by her side and began to sob uncontrollably.
Snowflake padded quickly to Octoberlies's side. "At least let me help you get there, before you give me the cold shoulder," She meowed teasingly. She offered him her shoulder to lean on for support.

Runningcloud's fur bristled as the fighting around her slowly purred to a halt. She frowned and padded to Lotus, poking the rogue's body. The medicine cat nodded, sighing at the awkward situation of hatred for the rogue and gratitude for saving her leader. She turned to Jasminestar in concern and then turned back to Lotus, picking up the ill female in her maw and tossing her onto her back. "I'm going to MoonClan," she growled.
All of a sudden, a black and white tom, smelling of MoonClan, entered the camp. "I heard," Saintcalling growled, furrowing his brows at the rogue who announced that Chaosfire was dead. "Lotus put us on patrol. What happened?"
"Lotus is dead!" Pansypaw squeaked, her ginger body perked up importantly. "She saved Jasminestar!"
"Lotus saved her?! Impossible!" Saintcalling said coldly, sending Pansypaw backwards with a gasp at the tom's tone. The black and white male frowned until receiving proof. He sighed and twitched his tail towards Runningcloud. "Darkmagic, Shadowprowler, myself, and the others that Chaosfire told to go with Lotus will take the body back, explaining what happened." Runningcloud handed the body to Saintcalling, dipping her head to him. The black and white tom turned away. "Farewell..."

[ooc] Um, what's going on here? o.o Lotus is dead, but I don't really get why... xD
Pastelsky was breathing heavily, blood spewing from gashes over her eye and shoulder. Swallowing painfully, she limped back to the entrance of the medicine den. She turned to see how the Clan was doing - Thank StarClan, Hyenapaw was all right - and she could be sure he had faught as a warrior, from the amount of scratches he had on him. When her gaze flickered to Jasminestar, she noticed a new cat - a MoonClan, by his scent - standing beside her, and the cat who had attacked Shardpaw by her feet, nearly dead. The excitement of battle had confused her greatly. Runningcloud isn't here, she realized with a thud. What would happen to all the wounded cats? Shaking her head, she joined the circle of cats around her leader. "Wh-what's happening?" She mewed quietly. [/blockquote][/color]

((Explanation time:
Lotus' flaw is her obsession to be needed by someone. Being that Chaosfire is dead, the cat that needed her most was now Jasminestar, since her life was in utmost, vile-oriented jeopardy. Lotus ended up fulfilling her promise to Teufel (that she would die for someone who needed her). I would have explained this in the posts, but Lonely wasn't posting ^^;
Also, Runningcloud is still here in SC for the moment. She gave the body to Saintcalling =] She's just kinda...away from the medicine den xD))

[ooc] Aaah. That makes more sense. Sometimes I get obsessions over the weirdest things. Anyway... I get it now. xDDD

Octoberlies twitched his tail tip in acknowledgement for Snowflake's help. He leant on her shoulder, breathing hard as he heaved himself to his paws. The pain of his wounds was almost as heavy as the weight of the secret he held in his chest, like a stone. Octoberlies padded from the den, with Snowflake's support. He limped towards Runningcloud, and nodded to the medicine cat. "D'you need any help?" he asked. His newly-torn stomach still bled slightly, but Runningcloud's poultices had helped to make the ripped skin tougher again, and the injury had not reopened too deeply.
Hyenapaw shook himself and padded towards Pastelsky. He stood beside his mentor. He was the same size as her now; almost larger. The ginger tom licked a long slash on his flank, not wincing though the pain was great. The tom raised his head proudly as he peered around. There were not too many serious injuries; SerenityClan had pulled through. Hyenapaw remembered the last time he had fought against Chaosfire's rogues; the day he was made an apprentice. The tom shook his head slowly - moons had passed since then. He was bigger, and wiser. Hyenapaw turned to watch the last rogues skid from the camp, yowling. |

Brindletalon sat down with a thump by Octoberlies side, his scratches searing with pain and his joints aching. He said nothing, just began to lick some of his wounds, the tangy taste of his won blood on his tongue. Ones of his eyes hurt from blood getting in it but he stayed quiet. There was more important things needing done at the moment, and a tom cats stinging eye was hardly at the top of the agenda.
Clearpool gasped in shock as Lotus died right in front of Jasminestar. She ran straight to her leader, her eyes wide with worry. "Jasminestar! Are you alright!" she panted, looking at Lotus. The she-cat had at least done a good deed in her dieing moments. She had saved SerenityClans leaders life and Clearpool was thankful to her for that.
Darkmagic followed Saintcalling into SerenityClans camp. She stood quietly by the tom and as he collected Lotus' body and turned to leave she dipped her head to Runningcloud and followed slowly. "Would you like any help?" she asked Saintcalling quietly, signalling that she meant with Lotus' body with her tail.[/color]

Snowflake dipped her head to her friend. "Anything you need, Octoberlies, call me." With that, she disappeared.
Werewolf's eyes widened as he watched the cat fall. The one who he had hated for what she had done. She gave her life to the Serenityclan leader. He shook his head and padded to Jasminestar. "Do you need our help here?" He asked her.

Saintcalling turned his dim eye to Darkmagic. "Yes, if you please," he said, his voice suddenly dropping an octave. He rolled his shoulders back and lifted Lotus' corpse halfway onto Darkmagic, delicately avoiding touching the MoonClan she-cat. The tuxedo tom turned to the SerenityClanners and dipped his head as he departed.

ooc; Oof I kinda left myself behind here... Spice said Shadowprowler was to help Dark and Saint with Lotus' body? If not, someone delete this posteth. =D
bic; Shadowprowler slipped into camp quietly, behind Darkmagic. Her scent hit him and he inhaled deeply; her scent was like sweet spring flowers- wait. He couldn't think this right now. He shook his head and padded over to where Saintcalling was standing with Lotus' body. He helped heave the rogue's body onto his shoulder and padded off with the small procession. |
