The darkness seemed to stretch endlessly over the EclipseClan stretch of the forest. It was the moment just before night ends, and day begins. It was a musty kind of darkness, and purple clouds swam lazily through the navy sky.
A feline crept through the shadow ridden trunks of the pines, her tail dragging wearily in the leaf litter. It was leaf-fall. The trees stood bare or nearly bare of their leaves, which had turned golden red and crisp and let go of their brittle stems.
Amethyststar's dark amber eyes swept the clearing of Razor Forest. She had been born here. Her parents had died here. Her eyes fixed on the deathberry bush where her parents had killed themselves, hating it with quiet entensity.
"StarClan, why have you taken everything from me?" |

.atroxfire;
A lone figure glode in silence through the darkness of Raven Forest, heavy paws making the lightest of vibrations over the leafy forest flooring. A mission he had been sent on, to check out how Eclipseclan where going, it had been ordered by his mighty leader to see if there was any weak points here and there. It half disgusted him to think that Firestar would even do this at such a time, most clans new fine well that two of the most powerful cats in the forest had recently just killed themselves. Side by side after stuffing their throats with Deathberries, that and the fact Eclipses great leaders mate had went walkabouts. A sneer was visable on his handsome features as he moved onwards, great muscular, black and white form lit up in the moonlight. He grumbled gently to himself under his breath for a while before he found himself stopping in his tracks. His eyes fell upon the sleek form of Amethyststar. He flattened himself suddenly to the ground, his body tense as he stared at her. Surely she wasn't thinking of killing herself, was she? |

The blck feline's relaxed shoulders tensed breifly, lifting and hardening. The ebony fur on the back and nape of her neck bristled like pine needles, and she swung around on nimble paws. Her slightly open jaws blossomed with the putrid scent of MoonClan. The black cat lashed her long tail from side to side, mber eyes smouldering. Ears perked forwards, she silently made her way up to where the MoonClan intruder was hiding, lips pursed, paws stiff.
Stopping in front of the flattened tom, she sniffed again. Her lips peeled back to reveal her fangs, sharply carved and bright white. Her pink gums showed through the gaps in her silken lips. Taking in the tom's appearance, she remembered having seen him at Gatherings since her apprenticeship. Atroxpaw, hadn't he been?
"Atroxpaw?" she hissed, claws unleashed and piercing the earth and leaves atop it. |

He knew instantly that she knew he was there the moment her fur bristled. He scowled once more and straightened up a little, black and white form lit up by the new moon light. He stiffened himself when she pulled abck her lips into a snarl, he growled softly at her, claws already slicing into the earth and through a few stray leaves. He calmed himself a little more when she spoke his old name, a devilish smile coming to play over his silken lips. "I think you will find my name is Atroxfire, Ma'am, your dear old Amethystpaw aren't you" he purred back. He knew her true name though it was fun to toy. Taking one step back he wrapped his tail around his paws, trying to calculate what he would do now. [/center] |

"Amethyststar to you!" she hissed back, a flare of her old spirit firing off of her poison coated tongue. She could spit insults at any cat, she knew she could, she had the power to make them flinch with hurt. But it was locked inside her soul.
Relaxing a little, she spoke to the tom again. "So, Atroxfire, what are you doing on my territory, eh?"
Her claws sliced into the earth as she asked the question. Why was Atroxfire here? What did he seek from her, or from EclipseClan? |

He chuckled silently to himself at the snappy voice, she was obviously getting a bit better. Her old spirit was coming back. Well the old spirit he knew when he met her that first gathering. He relaxed himself when she did though didn't take his claws out of their firm hold on the ground. He had to be ready, she might just swipe at him at any moment. Flicking his tail side to side the black and white cat gazed over at Amethyststar with ease. "For your information you moody old bat, I was only checking up on you" he stated simply, not telling the whole truth about how Firestar just wanted him to find how weak EclipseClan was. [/center] |

Frowning at the tom's insult, she opened her mouth to retort sgarply. She closed it again and the frown smoothed out when she heardv his next words. Why would he check up on her? Why did he even care about her? They had met a Gathering more than twenty moons ago, she was surprised he even remembered her.
"Why would you do that?" she asked suspiciously. "What's in it for you?" |

He watched her as the expressions changed on her pretty face, his own smile never leaving his lips. He knew what she was going to say before she even opened her moulth. Leaning back a little he looked up at the night sky, eyes twinkling a little as the peircing green caught on the stars.
"Me, nothing, I do it because I was told my the oh-so-mighty Firestar" he answered sneering the name of his leader. After a second he regretted it and blinked over at her. [/center] |

Fury flashed in Amethyststar's eyes. Her condition was no business of Firestar's! She had half a mind to snap at Atroxfire's neck, leave him running with scars along the length of his body. But inside she knew it was Firestar she should target, not her messanger.
"You should not speak of your leader with such disrespect," she mewed reluctantly, though she knw she was practicing what she was preaching, wanting to tear the ginger cat's thrpat out.. |

Atroxfire didn't move when the sudden anger flared in the eyes of the pretty leader. He half expected her to strike a blow at him but she didn't. His tail curved neatly around his paws and flicked across his chest. His eyes glinted when she spoke about his leader. Oh he shouldn't should he, he was treat like dirt day after day because Firestar probably knew Atroxfire would tear his head off. A sneer broke out from his lips though he shook his head. "I'm not" he stated through gritted teeth, thinking of his leader with distaste. [/center] |

Amethyststar saw the sneer. He had not changed a bit. Still just as arrogant, still just as pig-headed, still just as... handsome. She smiled at him, her lips curved up a little.
"What do you really want?" she mewed, this time with no suspiscion in her voice. "I kno you wouldn't have come unless there was something in it for yoy. Prey? Promotion? What re you after Atroxfire?" |

He found himself wondering what the smile was about though worked it out. Oh she was good, clever as ever. Then again she always was. Smirking ever so slightly he flicked his ears back and forth, shoulder slumping a little as he toned himself down. He didn't care if she hit him, it would just make him job going back home easier. He could make out EclipseClan was strong and save him more journeys. He snapped out of his thoughts and turned his eyes on her.. peircing green mixing with the lush amber.
"I told you, nothing" he grinned a little licking at his shoulder briefly. [/center] |

Amethyststar raised a furry eyebrow breifly, knowing that the tom was lying. She peered into his green eyes, trying to fathom out his purpose. They were so green. Green as... green as clovers. She gasped. It was like looking up into her mother's stern gaze all over again. For a moment sadness blossomed within her, as she gazed into the eyes indentical to Shaestar's. |

He chuckled softly when she rose an eyebrow at him, he knew that she knew he was lying. Ah well, it was worth a try. Waiting for the sudden explosion he stretched out. Though the explosion never came, instead she gasped and stared at him sadly. He blinked a little, a look of confusion running over his features. Glancing over at a puddle close by them he looked at the color of his own eyes. Green? was he reminding her of?. He paused then realised. "Amethyststar..? are you okay" he murmured, pretending he didnt know what she was shocked about. [/center] |

"Fine," she snapped. Getting to her paws, she barged closer to him. Somehow seeing his gaze closely had made her uneasy. "This is not your territory, tom. Move on."
The she-cat truly believed that he did not know what had upset her. He was so stupid! Gritting her teeth, she glared at him, though her heart was not in it. |

His ears flattened themselves against his skull when she stormed closer, though he didn't move an inch. Closing his eyes he shook his head slowly, sighing a little he knew he would have to comfort her. He couldn't just leave her now he knew that was wrong. He stepped forward and curled his tail hastily around hers. He licked her shoulder, "I know you miss them" he murmured gently. He knew he would strike him for this, he curled himself a little tightly around her. [/center] |

Amethyststar too knew that she should have struck the Moonlan warrior, but her heart told her not to. Her heart told her that this tom ws the only key to happiness. But what about Glasshawk? But she knew her mate was gone, dead. She snuggled a little closer to Atroxfire's chest, and huddled down near his warmth. He would probably back away, but maybe... Maybe he felt that tug inside his heart too. A tug that told her to stay. A tug that told her that... That maybe Atroxfire was thinking more than he was telling... |

Firestar padded along her border and saw Atroxfire talking to Amethystar. "Atroxfire!" she called.

Amethyststar curled back her lips to reveal her sharp fangs, and ducked out from Atroxfire's embrace. Stalking over to Firestar, she hissed.
"What are you doing on my territory?" she acted like she had not seen Atroxfire. "You'd better have a good explanation for this, Firestar." |

His blazing green eyes softened a little, gentle tints of love spiraling in his gaze. He was quite surprised in ways that she had reacted like this, smoothing his tongue comfortingly over her ear he allowed her to snuggled closer to him, his tail flicking round the two of them. All seemed perfect untill Firestars voice broke out. He ducked away from Ameythyststar at the same time she did and looked over at his leader. Dipping his head he stalked over to the she-cat and sat at her side, eyes burning with that intense twinge of hate. [/center] |

"I wanted to know why one of my warriors were over with you, Amethyststar," she meowed defiantly.

Amethyststar glared at her.
"Because you sent him!" she hissed. "Don't toy with me, Firestar, I'm no gullable kit! You and your warrior, get off my territory!"
Turning to Atroxfire, she whispered quietly into his ear: "Meet me here at mmonrise," Her voice was ghushed so no cat except Atroxfire had heard her. But while she whispered she had scowled, so as to fool Firestar into thinking she was angry at him. |

"I would never send a warrior to your foxdung of a clan!" she spat contempously. "Atroxfire! Let's go!" she snapped, bounding from the border.

Amethyststar curled back her lips. No cat dared insult her Clan. She leapt on the retreating ginger back and clawed furiously with angry talons. She hissed explosively, clawing at Firestar'se back. How dare she? How dare she insult her Clan? She could feel her mother's spirit beside her, guiding her, whispering in her ear how to scrap this weakling. |

Firestar yowled and rolled in the dirt, trying to squish Amethystar. Then, she froze. Horrifying memories came to her when Hexx had injured her. She had done the same thing, only to be overtaken. She stood up and leaped into the air, falling onto her back, attempting to squish Amethystar.
Spicetalon was trotting by when he saw the leaders scrapping with eachother. He saw Atroxfire and leaped at him, jumping onto his bak, like his leader did to Firestar.
((Razor, can Razorswipe guide his son?))

Amethyststar was so busy fighting Firestar that she did not notice the silver-grey tabby form of her brother. She hissed in the ginger cat's face and rolled away to void her attack. But the weight thundered down on one of her legs, and it eized up with pain. Scrambling to her paws, limp leg held off of the bloodshed ground, she lashed out at Firestar's face with long, curved talons. |

The claws met flesh. Firestar yowled in agony, remembering the exact move from HExx. She went stiff, falling to the ground, motionless.

ooc; Change your siggy Fire please, I can't stand page stretch, seriously. -_-;;
Atroxfire snarled viciously and easily threw the stupid little warrior off his back. With his muscled rippling he turned round and looked at his leader that was now lying motionless. Hissing in aggravation he lifted her up and threw her onto his back, wobbling a little under her weight he shot another venomous look over his shoulder before printing off. [/center] |

Spicetalon was quicker. He lunged at Firestar, dragging her off of Atroxfire's back, scratching her.
Firestar woke up and looked up at Spicetalon. She thrust out a paw and scratched it across his nose before standing up shakily and running off, calling to Atroxfire.

Atrioxfire gave a roar and threw himself at the cat, slamming him down he growled in his face before running over to Firestar. Licking his leaders shoulder he let the past grumpy hate for her melt away, he was her leader now, she might nor of been a Thornstar or.. or maybe a Razorstar but she was there. Sighing he smiled at her before sprinting forward. [/center] |
