<sub>.Blood

Oh my, oh dear, a cat had ventured into the depths of Blood Cave. Most probably never destined to walk out again. Well, the cat probably wouldn't walk out again if it wasn't her home. Yes Blood owned the cave; she was the one that killed off any who bothered to crawl inside it. She wasn't crazy, just a very hostile and nasty cat. Blood was supposed to have been killed by her own evilness when she disappeared moons ago, though she hadn't, she had simply came to the cave. Blood had disappeared around the same time as Sabretooth, no one knows for sure but most say that she killed him. The truth most likely won't be found out because no one seems to be able to get near her long enough to ask. After the mysterious loss of Vampire the she-cat became a broken wreck, not sure what to believe. Her trust for all living things shattered this as well as her heart. Boredly she picked at the remains of a rabbit, its bones carelessly through in all directions over the flooring. What a day she had had, stupid cats picking fights with her, leaving her no choice to do anything else but to kill them. She already felt tired and the fun she got out of killing seemed to have almost faded completely from her mind, her senses where dulled leaving her feeling empty. Vampire was gone.. probably stalked off with another she-cat she guessed, that or he was dead. Either way, in her mind he just left her.</sub>

[SHADE. :D]

A shadow passed across the land on which two cats crouched; Shoalpaw and Blood. This shadow had long legs, huge miuscles and large paws. His claw raked the grass as he trudged on. He was nearing the site the scent had led him to... Where his mate was currently. He hoped he had not missed her. His mahogany gaze raked the landscape. The tom looked ragged and starved; his ribs jutted out and his coat was patchy. This was because, after slaying two kittyprts, he had been dragged off by twolegs and had not eaten in a moon. He stalked up to a silver tabby, whisking past him, and leapt up to Blood, standing at her paws. "Hello, my love." he hissed.

Blood who had been laid down, watching the wall blankly; almost jumped when a new scent invaded her nostrils. A scent of a young cat, a small cat.. a clan cat. Her lips drew back into a dark sadistic smirk as she sunk into the shadows, one paw raised and unsheathed as the apprentice walked into her trap. She was just about to strike them when suddenly something leaped in front of her and blocked her off from it. Two blood red eyes turned vicious in a matter of seconds as she raised her claws to this strange toms neck. The moment she was about to slash him something clicked inside her mind, this scent she was smelling, the feeling she was having.. this was Vampire. Her face cracked, its beautiful features crumpling into a twisted look of anger and pain. This was the swine that had left her for all those moons, he had ran off with out saying good bye and the only thought that came to Blood's mind was that he was with another she-cat. She sniffed in slowly and actually did catch a scent of female on his fur. A loud screech of anger ripped out of her throat, "Don't 'my love' me you traitorous whelp, get out, get out, GET OUT!" she slammed her muzzle into his, totally ignoring Shoalpaw. "Wandering off with other she-cats are we, leaving me heart broken, waiting for you at the barn.. day after day worrying about you" she continued tears pricking at her eyes. "Now you come back and.. and just expect me to forgive you, fat chance" she spat, ending with a hiss before she spun round and stalked into the darkness of the cave.

[SHADE. :D]

The black tom, named Vampire, looked at his mate in shock. The shock turned to pure fury. He leapt after her, mahogany eyes blazing with anger and defiance.
"You stupid, stupid fool!" he roared, pinning her down with a massive paw. He held her there, glaring down at her with canines bared. "I was captured by those wretched twolegs, you fool, after I killed a couple of those kttypets who think they can kill. They were sneaking up on you in the night, while you were asleep, you wretch, and were about to take your life, and i saved you! Look what it did to me!" He gestured at his tattered, starved body. "Do you really think I would be this wasted if I had been with another female? I was in one of their bloody shelters, with nothing but twoleg slop to eat and soft, frightend kittypets to talk to! I ate and drank nothing for moons, and ventually escaped, and tried to find you! It obvious that you don't trut me a lot if you think I'd betray you, you idiot! And I don't want to be with a she-cat who doesn't trust me. Farewell."
The furious tom turned and ran back the way he had come, claws slashing a trail of carnage as he went.

_{She didn't want to hear it, she didn't want to hear anything. He'd saved her life from kittypets so her said and then got stolen away from twolegs, she had nothing to say back to him, she didn't know what to say. Letting out a low moan she fell into a crumbled mess on the cave floor, her body shaking as she forced her muzzle into the dirt. Tears pricked her eyes though she refused to let them slip, she wasn't weak. Closing her eyes tightly she winced in pain as her chest rattled, lungs screaming for air. Leaving the earth wouldn't be so bad.. there would be no mini-Bloods the continue her 'evil' work but what did she care. The amounted of bad loners where building up every day. Flattering ehr ears to her head she sunk her claws into the ground, waiting for ehr time to run out.}

[SHADE. :D]

Vampire did not even look back; the big black tom was burning with hatred for his former mate, how dare she accuse him, how dare she... How dare she not trust, after everything he had done for her... All his old loathing for the she-cat rushed back and he gritted his teeth. She was probably moping in her stupid cave, feeling sorry for herself, expecting Vampire to rush back and save her. But quite frankly, he didn't care what she did now, he wanted nothing more to do with her. She had as good as left him, as good as ton out his heart and buried it in the mud. He spat on the damp grass, expressing all his feelings for Blood in one contemptuous gesture.

_{Her eyes which where slowly closing suddenly snapped open, she wasn't going to give up now. How dare he wreck her life and run away from it all. He was just a stubborn, stupid little kitten after all. Dragging her nose out the dirt she breathed heavily before leaping over to the silver apprentice. "I'd run or I'll rip your throat out" she snarled raising one paw just to ram it over the side of his head before she jumped out the cave and square onto Vampire's back. "Running away again you stupid kit" she snarled, biting into his shoulder.}

[SHADE. :D]

Vampire had scented her before she leapt on him, expecting her to come begging for him to return to her, or to attack. When she did the latter, and he felt her teeth connect in his shoulder, he rolled onto his back to crush wih all of his muscle and strength. He then shook off her clinging fangs and snarled down at her. "Don't waste your time, you wretch, I don't care if you kill me. I have nothing left." He leapt at her claws, slashing her flank once, before he turned and started to walk away again. "Why don't you go and find some other poor tomcat to fall into your grimy clutches, just for your pleasure. Not that you'd trust them, of course." He adopted a sarcastically innocent tone, before letting a harsh bark of humourless laughter, and whipping around to glare at her with all the venom in his eyes. "Like I said before, I don't want to be with a cat who doesn't trust me, so goodbye. I won't bother to say it again." He padded calmly away, tensing his shoulders so hard muscle slotted into them in case Blood decided to attack him again.

_{"Grimy clutches? Is that what you thought of me, some grimy she-cat who would mate with every tom in the forest just to get a kick out of it!" she growled softly, this in a voice to calm to be even the slightest bit sane. She twitched the tip of her tail before leaping on him once more, her jaw connecting with the harsh tensing muscles of his shoulder. He may have been muscled but he was sure to be weak, laying with kittypets all those days. Cuffing his nastily she sneered at him, "why should i bother killing you" she spat.}

[SHADE. :D]

Vampire shook her off, pinning her down. This time no fury was in his eyes. Just deep sadness. "What have you become, Blood?" he asked softly. After that he snapped back into violence, hissing at her, though tears rolled down his slick black cheeks. He kn ew she would sneer, beat him, perhaps kill him, he did not care, she was just a self-centered little piece of fox-dung. He hated her so much, yet he did not strike her. He would not stoop as low as she. "All I ever wanted was to protect you, to father your kits, to love you and for you ti love me!" he yowled. "And then when I risk my life for yours, you reveal that you never even trusterd me! Whaty kind of loyalty is that? And to think I mated with you! I'd go back to Shadow if she wasn't dead, thanks to you! If I hadn't left with a stupid she-cat who never trusted me then she wouldn't have died, I'd've been there to protect her!"
He longed to slash her, to crumple her beneath huge paws, but he did not. He just turned and padded away again, blood soaking his kitten shoulder.

[razor]

_{Tears began to slide down her cheeks as he spoke of kittens, a soft shuddering sob broke from her throat as she pulled away fro him, tears crashing to the earth. Her kittens had all been born dead, three off them, none breathing apart from one who died soon after. She had nearly died herself while giving birth, she had lost a lot of blood. Sniffing she shook her head, body hunching up.}

[SHADE. :D]

Vampire did not even look back. He felt a kind of twisted pride that Blood was upset; she had just ruined his life, why shouldn't he at least give her somethine to cry about? He strode on, not caring, not knowing what to do anymore. He felt lonely, empty and pitiless; he just wanted to curl up and die. The thought of a raven pecking out one of his eyes filled him with satisfaction; then the body turned into Blood's and felt even more sated. She deserved everything he had said, for accusng him of cheating on her. He had saved her life! Oh, StarClan, he thought, for though he was a rogue he still believed in StarClan, why didn't you let me sleep on? The black tom stalked away from his sobbing former mte, not caring what she was crying about, not giving a toss. She had broken his heart, he had broken her's; they were square. He disappeared ver the rise of a cliff. A trail of his bright red blood led back to Blood.

She watched him go, his eyes miserable. There was no need in trying to follow him now, swallowing she began to sing, her heart cracking slowly in half with each soft word she spoke. "Why stare at me with hate not love.. I knew I was no turtle dove.." she couldn't manage to finish the poem before she crashed back to the earth once more.
