Firestar[/font][/color]
The leader of Moonclan was threatened. Her life was on the line, she could feel it. Her battle so long ago in this forest against Hexx was haunting her again. Now she would have to confront her daughter, Rio. She could smell the familiar scent of Hexx, but it was a younger scent. Rio must be near.
I can scent you!! Come out and face me, coward! She hollered into the trees. A twig broke, and she flipped around, but nothing was there. I'm paranoid.. She laughed at herself. She was the leader of a clan! She didn't need to be afraid. If she needed help, she could holler loudly, and her clan would be there in an instant.
As she padded onward, the scent got stronger, until it was so overpowering, that it seemed Rio was all around her. Come out and face me! She called again, before turning around and looking.

rio It was amusing. So amusing. Rio sat in the topmost branches of a tall, dead ash tree, due to fall any moment. The beautiful brown tabby she-cat was graceful and neat as always. If you had glanced at her you might sigh and think what a pretty little cat she was. But one look into those indigo eyes, filled with cunning and hatred, and you'd know that she does not live up to her appearance. Rio's eyes followed the form of Firestar below, stumbling about, calling out. The tabby smirked. She was so pathetic. She was the leader of a clan, a wretched clan, and she was afraid? They were sych cowards, fighting in packs rather than idependently... It made her sick. So sick. They had killed her mother, brother and sister. She gritted her teeth, then heeded Firestar's words, and leapt lightly and silently into the clearing.
Rio chose a tree stump on which to make her entrance. She sat, curling her tail over her demure white paws. The tabby narrowed her cruel eyes and mewed; "Greetings, Firestar," the words seemed meaningless, but were filled with hatred and dripping with long moons of vengefulness. It was time. |

Firestar turned and saw Rio. Hmph. I expected more from Hexx's daughter. She spat at the rogue. Why are you here, telling my cats you want revenge? If it's about your mother, she deserved it. She tried to kill me. And many others. She hissed, flicking her tail. Then she looked up into the trees. And you're hiding in trees? That's not very brave. She smirked, mathcing the rogue's cool tone.

rio The light brown tabby she-cat lifted a white forepaw and licked it delicately. She ignored Firestar's words - for the weak and cowardly, too scared to fight. The pretty she-cat bared her even white teeth at the mention of her mother. Hexx had been good to her. She had cared for her. Until she had been killed. By this wretched cat's order. Rio jumped from the tree stump, landing gracefully. She began to circle her enemy tightly, her paws making no sound on the short grass. The tabby she-cat hissed softly, her voice silky but angry. "And mu brother, did he deserve it? What about my sister?" Bitterness and hatred filled Rio's words. "We were six moons old. She was trying to get us food. And you... You're lot killed her. And my siblings."
Rio shook her head before continuing. "But your little toy soldiers didn't tell you that theyu'd let one slip," she mewed softly. "Me. And you should have realised that I'd come back for revenge sooner or later... You killed my family," her voice was sad, but still filled with loathing. "And for that, you will pay." |

Firestar moved slowly closer to the young she-cat. You think I sent my cats after you? You think I ordered them to kill kits? Why would I do such a heartless thing? It wasn't my clan who killed your family. She snarled. Now move on. I want you out of my territory. She ordered. My warriors went for revenge after your mother tried to kill me. They were avenging that, and getting you off our territory. You cannot blame us for that. You would fight to get others off your territory. She snarled, before flicking her tail. Now leave. She spat.

rio Rio's eyes narrowed. "No," she mewed simply. She raised an eyebrow at Firestar. "Going to kill me too, are you?" The tabby she-cat lifted her head, her tail lashing slowly from side to side. "You say they went to avenge you. So they killed my brother and sister? They knew nothing of you. Nothing. Except what our mother had told them. And still you killed them." Rio unsheathed her claws. She raised a paw so that the sun gleamed on the silver growths. "So, you took three lives, to avenge one," she murmured thoughtfully. She then turned her malicious eyes on Firestar. "In that case, by your calculations... I should take nine."
Rio dropped the paw. "But I suppose I'll show some mercy..." she mewed softly. "Your death will mean more to me than a thousand of your followers." |

Firestar spat. I told you, I didn't know they would kill the kits! She snarled. I didn't even know they were going to kill Hexx! She spat, baring her teeth and flattening her ears. she lifted an unsheathed paw, and swatted it at her. If you want a fight, you can have one. She spat.

rio The light brown tabby seemed to regain her composure, her eyes lightening, so that the anger disappeared, to be replaced by calm loathing. The rogue she-cat smirked at Firestar. "A fight? Oh no, Firestar," she mewed softly, taking a few steps backward. "I wouldn't dream of it." Rio continued to pad backwards, until she was disappeared into the bushes. The rogue tabby slunk around the clearing, watching Firestar. She smirked to herself. It was time to get a small chink of revenge, like one beam of light being let through closed curtains. Rio padded silently around until she was behind Firestar, a reclimbed the same tree she had started on. From here she watched her arch enemy for a moment, her expression one of cold hatred, before pouncing.
She landed squarely on Firestar's back, and bit down hard on the back of her neck. She held on, using her well practiced killing-grip, before leaping clear. Rio stood, a smile on her lips. "This is only the beginning," she mewed. "Good day, Firestar." With that, the tabby turned and padded into the trees at a leisurely pace, this time not returning.
// Sorry if I powerplayed a bit here. =/ |

ooc;; No problem. You did exactly what I wanted.  FirestarAnd now you haunt my waking life.
I see you in the shadows,
Stalking me until my death.
Firestar eyes shut until they were open only a sliver. She stared at Rio, trying to figure out what she was doing. When the she-cat backed away, Firestar lifted her head. You better leave, so my Clan can be in pea- Her sentence ended in a loud shriek. Birds fluttered out of trees and squealed warnings to the other animals.
Firestar couldn't save herself. As the rogue held her in the killing grip, Firestar tried to slice her stomach, but couldn't get a hit. She could feel her strength ebbing away, and as a black tide rose behind her eyes, she heard Rio's last words. Then she fell to the ground, dead.
Firestar's eyes fluttered open. She was in the heavenly place called Starclan. As she stood there, cats emerged from the shadows. She noticed her faint body had grown almost solid. She had lost her seventh life. Two more, and she would be joining the heavenly ranks of Starclan forever.
She looked around, and noticed the cats from her clan. One pulled himself from the ranks to meet her, and Firestar almost squealed in shock. The last time she had seen him was when he was dying from a badger. Now he was back with her. She pressed her nose against Shakenleaf's shoulder. Shakenleaf... I was wondering when I'd see you again. The tom looked at her with all the love in the world in his eyes. I will always watch over you. He licked her ear and she felt herself falling back to earth peacefully.
She awoke on the cold earth floor, and struggled to her paws. Starclan had healed her wound, but she was still weak. She struggled home on unsteady paws, and collapsed in the shadows of her camp.
Hunted day and night,
No safe haven for my mind.
Slowly,
I fall apart at the seams,
Until there is nothing left.
