The DarkMasters/3

**THIS IS AN ARCHIVE; DO NOT ROLEPLAY HERE. ACTIVE ROLEPLAY CAN BE FOUND ON THE DARKMASTERS PAGE.**

Flame flicked her tail to order everyone to be quiet. She rolled her eyes amused at Bass. “Haha after this Bass. If they don’t impress, you can show me again how it went.” As all the cats fell silent, she glared at the cats.--Flame That Burns Blood

Crow frowned. “But that red cat looks evil...” she muttered flashing a look to Flame. (I think I’m going to change her personality, I don’t think roughhouser fits her)--Crow That Flies at Night

"She's not, I promise..." Storm mewed. "Auntie Flame...is just..." She looked at Crow. "Having some difficult times right now. Try not to bother her, and then she'll be your favorite."--Storm That Rages The Sky

“Sure.” She grumbled. “I’ll tell you I have evidence as I’m covered in it.” Again reminding the others she was covered in blood.--Bass that Fights the Current

Crow smiled. “Okay, I hope she’ll like me. She attacked Ember...” she sighed.--Crow That Flies at Night

Ember hissed. "Get away from me!" She jerked around and stalked away. "Having some tough times, eh?" The flame point tabby she-cat remembered Bass's words: "*You should definitely rebel against Flame. It has a funny appeal to it."*

Too right she was-tough times? More like, for once, somebody wasn't groveling at her feet-and Flame didn't like it at all.

*Not the time, Ember, not the time. I need to get some rest and grow big and strong-then Bass will teach me everything I need to know in this world. Then, only then, can I express my hatred for this apprentice group.* Ember shivered and hunkered down in her nest.--Ember that Rises from Ashes

Storm sighed and curled her body around all five of her kits.--Storm That Rages The Sky

Crow smiled. Even if Flame was her godmother, she shouldn’t love her until her full judgement is official. Well just have to wait and see.--Crow That Flies at Night

Ember wiggled away and sat down in another nest. *Not for me.--*Ember that Rises from Ashes

((Flame is her aunt?))

(well, godmother if you know what that is)

Crow curled close to her mother, closing her eyes to sleep.--Crow That Flies at Night

((Yeah)) --Hawk

Bass rolled her eyes and decided to lick her bloody paws.--Bass that Fights the Current

Night curled up around Ember. “Ember,” he murmured, “I know you don’t like Flame or this group. Sometimes I get mad at Flame, too.” He told his kit, so only she could hear. “But maybe one day you’ll become leader of this group, after Flame steps down or dies. But I know you’d be a great leader.”--Night That’s Darker Than Fire

Crow leaped away from her mother and onto her father. “What about me!” He laughed as she bit at his ears.--Crow That Flies at Night

Storm chuckled. She loved her kits so much.--Storm That Rages The Sky

Crow looked around and climbed down her dad, she spotted a little lady bug and she watched it. “Ooooh. That’s this?”--Crow That Flies at Night

Night grinned. “You’d all be great leaders.” He said, looking at all of them.--Night That’s Darker Than Fire

Crow frowned. “I don’t want to lead this group. Everyone is really scary looking.” She whimpered to her father. Looking at that dark bloody cat. “She’s covered in blood!”--Crow That Flies at Night

Night lapped his daughter’s head, reassuringly. “Don’t worry, you don’t have to if you don’t want to. And these cats are nice. It’ll just take you awhile to get to know them.”--Night That’s Darker Than Fire

“Okay....” Crow perked up as she was reassured and stared at Flame. She was scarier though.--Crow That Flies at Night

Scorch snarled. *Like that little scrawny rat would ever become leader.* He flicked his tail.--Scorch That Works With Fire

Flame twitched her ears. Huh. She hissed, “C’mon. I have things to do!”--Flame That Burns Blood

Bass sneered as Scorch snarled onto the ‘Nursery’. “Geez Scorch. What a hater. I thought you *liked* kits,” she chuckled as she licked another layer of blood off of her paws.--Bass that Fights the Current

Scorch growled at Bass, but said nothing.--Scorch That Works With Fire

Crow looked at Scorch. She waddled over to him. “Who are you? You look mad.”----Crow That Flies at Night

Scorch tries hard to not lash out at the kit. “I am Scorch That Works With Fire, the deputy of The DarkMasters. Also called Scorch.” He breathed. “I am ok.“ He added in a low and soft growl. “Now go back to your parents before someone hurts you.”--Scorch That Works With Fire

Crow frowned. “I don’t like when cats hurt me....Maybe you need something....” She got an idea. She ran into the nursery and squeezed through an exit and retrieved cute little daisies. She returned and placed them at his paws. “Are you happy now?” She asked with a cute little kitten smile.--Crow That Flies at Night

Scorch twitched his whiskers is amusement. “Yes very.“ He touched his nose to her ear. “Listen I am a little busy. But tell you what? After I am done, we can go look for more flowers are play. Sounds good?”--Scorch That Works With Fire

Crow smiled. “Okay Mr. Scorch.” She laughed as she padded back into the nursery. She liked flowers. Maybe these cats where not as bad as they looked.--Crow That Flies at Night

Scorch grinned at the little kit as she trotted away. He turned and then turned serious at the three cats. “She said move it!”--Scorch That Works With Fire

Wolf growled, and leaped on Crow, tackling his sister as she trotted into the den, before getting off, and laughing.--Wolf That Runs in Darkness

“Heh! That wasn’t nice Wolf!” Crow hissed, embarrassment flooded through her as she hoped Scorch wasn’t watching her.--Crow That Flies at Night

Wolf grinned. “It was a sneak attack!” He said. “I pinned you, easily.”--Wolf That Runs in Darkness

“We’ll still! I wasn’t ready!” She laughed pouncing on his tail.--Crow That Flies at Night

Wolf grinned. “Well it wouldn’t be a sneak attack if you were ready or knew it was coming!” He said.--Wolf That Runs in Darkness

“I guess so.” She sighed.--Crow That Flies at Night

Feather watched the kits. Hmmm. Maybe she shouldn’t be so hostile around Storm. She might have just wanted to be happy... She padded up to the queen. They needed to make things even.--Feather of the Diving Swallow

Storm spotted Feather coming toward her. She got to her paws, shaking tumbling Gale off her shoulders. "Hello," she mewed.--Storm That Rages The Sky

Night kept one eye on Feather and Storm, bristling as he played with the kits. Wolf saw Feather, and leaped on to her, growling.--Night That’s Darker Than Fire and Wolf That Runs in Darkness

Feather wrinkled her snout and picked the kit off of her scruff. “Now there kit.”--Feather of the Diving Swallow

((Time skip to next day?)) -- Hawk

Ember yawned. *Today let's figure out Crow. And be more friends with Bass...*The small she-kit blinked her silvery blue eyes, clearing up her vision, and padded over to the brown tabby who she admired so much. "Hi."--Ember that Rises from Ashes

“On. Uh. Hi?” Bass raised a brow. Still licking the blood off of her pelt. “Can I help you?”--Bass that Fights the Current

"Hm...You really should get that blood off your pelt. Not that I'm complaining... But it does make you look pretty intimidating. No, thanks, I'm good."--Ember that Rises from Ashes

Bass bared her teeth. “I’m fine. And I’m pretty sure this blood is mixed with many kit’s and queens blood. You should know by now I’m not a kit person and I usually show no mercy if I don’t care.” She wiped her nose.--Bass that Fights the Current

"Hm. Alright. Cool. But maybe you shouldn't kill everyone...I guess honor is pretty important. No matter what *Flamepaw* or her accomplices say... But okay. I get it. See you later, then," Ember padded away.--Ember that Rises from Ashes

Bass huffed. “Sure.” *But they hurt my family and needed to pay. I wanted to kill them even though I might have not wanted to kill hay other cats.* She thought to herself. She just continued to lick in her tree.--Bass that Fights the Current

Crow yawned as she watched the argument.--Crow That Flies at Night

*I should try and figure her out more...*Ember twitched her ginger-banded tail and walked over to the fresh-kill pile, grabbing a thrush- her favorite food- to share with Gale.--Ember that Rises from Ashes

Bass watched and rolled her eyes. “She really thinks that they’ll talk... even my siblings are better than these wannabes heh.”--Bass that Fights the Current

Gale observed the chaos that was camp from afar-cats everywhere, cats doing all sorts of different things. She simply didn't know what to poke her nose into first, so for now, the stone-gray feline remained resting on the ground, wrapping her tail around her form.--Gale of the Thundering Storm

Crow saw her sister. “Hi Gale! How are you today?” She mewed.--Crow That Flies at Night

(We will not skip to next day. The loners are still here.)-Rowan

Scorch murmured to Night, “Have your kits *stay* in the nursery. We don’t want them hurt.” He rolled his eyes at what he said and faced the loners once more. He was irritated, and was ready to make them fight.--Scorch That Works With Fire

Bass raised a brow as she saw irritation gleam in the leader’s “mate’s“ eyes. “Hey Scorch what’s so annoying to make you freak out? Huh?” She smiled. It wasn’t a full happy smile, it was one of those smiles she made when she wanted to make someone mad.--Bass that Fights the Current

"Curious..." The gray kitten commented passively as she eyed the strangers with kitten-blue eyes that were yet to develop into their adult color. Perhaps she wasn't very old, but these were the very first strangers that she'd ever seen. What else was out there...?--Gale of the Thundering Storm

“Why not go visit your favorite kit kitsitter!” Scorch snapped. Can’t she see he is busy?--Scorch That Works With Fire

Bass raised a brow. “I like no kits. I kill kits. I’ve killed them a few ago.” She smirked. “You should probably not pretend to be so fierce all the time.”--Bass that Fights the Current

Crow cocked her head. *Weird.* “Hmmm.” Gale was an odd one.--Crow That Flies at Night

Scorch pricked his ears at what Bass said. *She just said that. Hopefully she kills bad kits and not the innocent ones.* Scorch did an evil grin. “I can see that. Well then that can be your new job. Kill bad and rude kits.” he glared at Ember. *That kit should either die or have normal sense.* He nodded at Bass and walked up to Flame’s side.--Scorch That Works With Fire

“Um. I never knew them. They where probably innocent. But whatever. I never cared.” Bass laughed. The queens where a piece of cake.” She added with a grin. She never needed to actually know or care if they all where innocent. As she just killed and slaughtered each and every one of them.--Bass that Fights the Current

Scorch smirked.--Scorch That Works With Fire

"Of course." Said Dawn getting into posstion"--Dawn

Tabby swung around and slashed her claws down Sun's side. Blood splattered her muzzle. Tabby then sank her jaws into Hollow's front leg, feeling the bone crunch.--Tabby

Flame's ears picked with interest. Finally.--Flame That Burns Blood

Tabby lurched up, biting at Sun's ears. She felt warm blood dabble her jaws.--Tabby

Ember trotted over to Gale. "Hi. Do you want to share this thrush?" Despite Gale's resemblance to Storm, Ember liked the gray she-kit and wanted to make a jab at being friends.--Ember that Rises from Ashes

*Sigh...Gale is so boring. But she's cool...If she'd* just respond!--Ember that Rises from Ashes

((implication implication))

Wolf looked around.--Wolf That Runs in Darkness

Bass raised a brow. “Geez making them kill each other isn’t really good Flame.”--Bass that Fights the Current

Flame twitched her whiskers. “They are not to kill each other,” *although that would be fun,* “Just to prove themselves worthy.”--Flame That Burns Blood

“Yeah, if they where worthy then why not prove who’s strongest?” Bass grinned. “I think I’ve proved I’m strong already if you haven’t noticed.”--Bass that Fights the Current

Flame nodded her agreement. She could not hold back any longer. She ordered Scorch to take over for now and stood a few tail lengths away from the others, still watching the fighting cats. ”Now tell me, what happened?” She pricked her ears with interest.--Flame That Burns Blood

((I have a job-12 hour shifts, to be exact)) Gale glanced over at her fire-tailed littermate before the gray kitten tucked her velvet-soft paws underneath her chest. "I'm still struggling to eat prey," she admitted with a small shrug. Not like she could help it-wasn't her fault her teeth weren't fully developed. "But I can, uh...watch the feathers for you?" By that, Gale meant that she wished to steal them. She liked pretty things, and so she liked feathers. That, and it was funny when cats accidentally sucked them up their noses.--Gale of the Thundering Storm

Bass smiled. “Oh, you know. Just left camp. Found the whole group of weak cats who’ve wronged me and I killed each and every one of em’. Even the queens kits and elders. Piece of cake.” She grinned.--Bass that Fights the Current

Crow laughed. “Yeah I wanna help too!” Feathers where soft. And nice. And small. Like her.--Crow That Flies at Night

Flame That Burns Blood smirked. “Glad that you did the right thing Bass. That should show them.” For once, she actually talked with Bass.--Flame That Burns Blood

Bass sneered. “Hey. Anyone who hurts my siblings gets my revenge sooner or in their case later. Should’ve did the right thing when they had the chance.” She sighed licking her claws.--Bass that Fights the Current

Flame laughed and started to pad away. She looked over her shoulder. “Nice scars by the way.”--Flame That Burns Blood

“Oh trust me almost every cat I meet gives me something to remember them.” She raised her head “Even my friends.”--Bass that Fights the Current

Tabby hesitated before lunging forward again, biting down. But being a kittypet, she was clumsy and she fell, hitting her head on a rock.--Tabby

Wolf watched the two cats fight in awe. “One day I’ll fight just like that.” He growled. “But even better.”--Wolf That Runs in Darkness

Flame rolled her eyes, amused at Bass. She padded away, having Scorch brushing her side as she sat down, and wrapped her tail around Wolf. She whispered, "Yes you will. You will be a great fighter." Her eyes sparkled at the kit. "Would you like to watch?"--Flame That Burns Blood

Tabby's aggressive entry was soon dimmed. She panted; all that kittypet fluff was slowing her down.--Tabby

((Oh- yeah... Sorry. I wasn't trying to... rush you. Sorry; I think I just have too much time on my hands)) - Hawk

"Hmmmm.... Alright. Yeah. I haven't really got full teeth yet either... Maybe I will just *pulverize* it then eat it. Yeah. That sounds good," Ember suggested. "Or... Maybe not. This looks a bit disgusting. But whatever!" She tore off as small a piece of the thrush as possible and started to slowly chew.--Ember that Rises from Ashes

Crow grinned, “What if we all just attack it to make is mushy!” She laughed punching her stubby kitten paws at it. (Considered breaking the warrior code of playing with food.)--Crow That Flies at Night

Wolf wrinkled his muzzle at his sisters. *Weirdos.--*Wolf That Runs in Darkness

Crow suddenly got bored. “What else can we do?“--Crow That Flies at Night

Flame watched as the three fighting cats got tired. She mewed softly to Wolf, “You can go with your sisters if you don’t want to watch.“ She laid her tail on the kit’s back.--Flame That Burns Blood

Crow looked at Flame. “Eep!” She flattened her tiny kitten ears and leaped behind Gale. Scary the Evil Queen.--Crow That Flies at Night

Scorch nuzzled the little she-kit. “Flame won’t hurt you if you are good. She is nice and will protect you.“ He mewed as Flame smiled at the kitten.--Flame That Burns Blood and Scorch That Works With Fire

Wolf looked up at Flame. “But I like watching! I want to learn how to fight!” He exclaimed. “But these kittypets don’t seem like good fighters.”*--*Wolf That Runs in Darkness

Flame purred. “I said if you wanted to Wolf. You don’t need to.” She grinned at the tom. “When you are an apprentice, you can show them how to properly fight.”--Flame That Burns Blood

“Hey! That’s not nice Wolf!! I’m telling mommy!” She ran to Storm. “Wolf called us kittypets!”--Crow That Flies at Night

Dawn quickly made a powerful flip causing Tabby to fly off her. Hollow came up after raking his claws against Tabby's underbelly. Dawn quickly turned on Hollow chasing him, Hollow quickly burst up a tree as Dawn thought *I’ll finish the weakest last.*Turning back to Tabby.--Dawn and Hollow

Bass raised a brow. “Geez she really wants to join.” She muttered in a hiss. Flame shouldn’t make them fight, she knows death’s door is closer than they know.--Bass that Fights the Current

Scorch rolled his eyes amused as Crow scampered away. He focused again on the fight.--Scorch That Works With Fire

Wolf’s heart lifted, and he grinned. “Yeah!” He said. He swiped at an invisible enemy, with a hiss. “I’ll show them!”*--*Wolf That Runs in Darkness

Crow chirped. “She’s scary.” To Flame.--Crow That Flies at Night

Ember ate a few more bites of her thrush, but chewing so hard was tiring. *I should just wait until I get my teeth in...*She trotted over to Bass with the remains of the thrush. "I can't finish this. Do you want it?"--Ember that Rises from Ashes

Bass wrinkled her snout. “No. That’s gross.” She bared her teeth. “I don’t eat prey that a little kit tried to eat.” She huffed. Tail swaying as she was in her tree yet again.--Bass that Fights the Current

"Hm... You really are a little bit mean, aren't you? Maybe cats would like you if you were kinder..." Ember twitched her ginger tail ((she does that a lot, lol)) and padded into the nursery.--Ember that Rises from Ashes

Tabby raked her claws across Dawn's face.--Tabby

Dawn roared in pain the blood soaked into her fur as she leaped toward Tabbys throat making a deep slash.--Dawn

Tabby, being a kittypet, squealed and staggered away. She fell on the ground, blood pooling as she twitched feebly.--Tabby

Storm leapt to her paws and scrambled to stop the blood.--Storm That Rages The Sky

Wolf watched Tabby’s blood pool on to the ground, his eyes eyes emotionless.*--*Wolf That Runs in Darkness

Bass rolled her eyes. *Sorry* *kit but in this group of nonsense we need to be mean to get what we want.--*Bass that Fights the Current

Flame smiled at Wolf and Crow. She yowled, “Enough!” The cats fighting froze and panted. She stopped Storm with her tail and put her back in the den. She brought herbs and placed them on the wounded cats. When they were ok again, Flame mewed, “You have proven yourself.” She glanced at Scorch. “You may join The DarkMasters.“--Flame That Burns Blood

(There Dawnpaw. Welcome :D)-Rowan P.S. I did rp before you guys cuz it made more

Bass rolled her eyes. And sarcastically hissed. “Yay! Good. For. You.” She spat to the new cats.*.--*Bass that Fights the Current

Wolf twitched his tail, glaring at the two cats. “Kittypets.” He hissed at Tabby, Hollow and Dawn.*--*Wolf That Runs in Darkness

Crow looked to them. “What’s wrong with Kittypets again?”--Crow That Flies at Night

Storm twitched her tail. "The silver kittypet was badly wounded," she mewed to Crow.*--*Storm That Rages The Sky

Bass leaped down and dug the hole in which she secretly buried the herbs her sister gave her. “I’ll help if you'd all like.” She said picking the bundle of herbs up.*.--*Bass that Fights the Current

Tabby groaned.--Tabby

Flame dipped her head. “I think I did it, but you can double check Bass.” She padded away.--Flame That Burns Blood

Bass didn’t need to wait for anyone to say she could or couldn’t. She padded to the bloody she-cat and placed the correct herbs on after chewed and after she licked the blood off. She grabbed the she-cats scruff and dragged Tabby to the roots of her tree where she usually sat, she set up a moss nest for the wounded she-cat and muttered. “You’ll be fine if you don’t move.” And she dropped a mouse nest to Tabby. Climbing the tree again and laying there with eyes glued to her.*--*Bass that Fights the Current

Wolf padded after Flame. “Where are you going?” He asked her.*--*Wolf That Runs in Darkness

Tabby flicked her tail in a sign of life. She smelled mouse.*--*Tabby

Bass yawned. She didn’t realize she was being watched. She opened an eye and glared at the others who watched. “Buzz off or you're crowfood....”*--*Bass that Fights the Current

Crow curled next to her mother and sighed as she went to sleep.--Crow That Flies at Night

Dawn smiled cleaning her own wounds, dipping her face in a puddle. Hollow was thinking about what Wolf had said and yelled "Were loners, not kitty pets!!!" But then thought of when he ran away from his twolegs as a kit, joining Tabby and Dawn.--Dawn and Hollow

Wolf curled his lip, hostility flooding through them. *Once I’m old enough I’ll show them. I’ll show them that they are kittypets. I’ll show them that they have no place here. I’ll kill them.*--Wolf That Runs in Darkness

Bass huffed. “Yeah. Y’all are.” she licked the herb scent off of her pelt.*--*Bass that Fights the Current

Narrowing her eyes at Bass, Flame snapped Wolf out of his thoughts. “Nothing that a kit should know yet.“ She purred. “When you are an apprentice, then I will tell you.” She leaped on her rock and yowled, “Masters, we have three new cats joining our ROGUE group!“ She padded to Tabby, since she was still injured, and waited for Dawn and Hollow. She mewed, “As you promise your loyalty to me, Flame, I give you your new names. Hollow, you will be known as Shadow That Looms the Hollow, Tabby will be Tabby That Portrays Stripes and Dawn as Sun That Turns To Dawn. Or simply Dawn, Hollow and Tabby. StarClan approves of my choice. We welcome your bravery and strength to The DarkMasters!“--Flame That Burns Blood

Bass rolled her eyes and closed them as she was tired. Tired of life.*--*Bass that Fights the Current

Wolf looked up at Flame, and nodded, and then watched the new Darkmasters’s ceremony.--Wolf That Runs in Darkness

Ember curled her lip. *StarClan approves of her choice. HM. She doesn't even have the decency to say "May StarClan approve my choice."...Once I'm old enough, I'm* outta *this group once and for all... Maybe Bass will go with me! She doesn't seem to like me, though. Maybe I need to impress her. That seems hard...*--Ember that Rises from Ashes

Bass slipped out of her tree and snook out of camp yet again. She wasn’t in the mood for her ‘maters’ so she decided to play in the river. Once she got to a shallow part she sat in the waters and caught and ate some fish.*--*Bass that Fights the Current

Crow sighed as she then tugged on Scorch’s tail. And whispered. “Now?”--Crow That Flies at Night

Scorch purred, “So inpatient.“ He gently but the kit‘s ear. “Sure, but I have a feeling you will beat me.” he joked.--Scorch That Works With Fire

Crow laughed. “Where too?” She muttered to him. She really wasn’t the type to wander out on purpose as the world as scary.--Crow That Flies at Night

Scorch twitched his ears. “Why not right here? Show The Masters what you can do!”--Scorch That Works With Fire

Crow widened her eyes. “F-fight?” She squealed.--Crow That Flies at Night

Scorch purred, “No. Just to play or practice. You only fight when it is nesscasary.” He touched noses with the kit and looked into her little eyes. “I am not going to hurt you.“--Scorch That Works With Fire

Crow was reassured. “O-okay.” She lowered to when she saw Tabby crouch to attack and then leaped on Scorch’s back, simply climbing up the tom than really trying to hurt him. She scratched at his ears with her baby kitten paws with claws sheathed.--Crow That Flies at Night

Wolf looked around, trying to find something to do.--Wolf That Runs in Darkness

Feather....................................................................................................Y A W N E D.--Feather of the Diving Swallow

Ember crept after Bass. The flame point kit's tiny limbs were tired, and she wasn't build for stamina... *Maybe I'll go rest after this*. But Ember wanted to follow Bass and see where she went. Opening her mouth to scent the air, she caught the brown tabby's scent and scurried forward, then paused, one orange paw raised inquiringly. "Bass?"--Ember that Rises from Ashes

Bass flicked an ear sending droplets of water flying as she padded out of the river and shook herself. “Yes?” She meowed raising a brow to the kit.--Crow That Flies at Night

Scorch grinned at Crow. “Oh you are too strong! The pain!” He giggled.--Scorch That Works With Fire

“Yeah! Crumble to the floor and never hurt anyone again!” She laughed. “Or suffer the consiquencesssss!”--Crow That Flies at Night

"Nothing...Just trailing you-trying to practice tracking. I can't seem to get it... Oh well. See you around."--Ember that Rises from Ashes

Scorch laughed. “Oh it hurts so much! Oh StarClan help me!” he joked.--Scorch That Works With Fire

Bass padded after the kit blocking her path with a huge paw. “Now there, practicing tracking eh?” She started. “And you tracked me all the way here little kit. Very impressive that you’ve succeeded.” She meowed. “And reconsidering your wish of hunting. I’m thinking about it. Shall I teach you stalking positions?” Bass had nothing else to do and this kit was really just following her around maybe for this reason.*--*Bass that Fights the Current

Crow laughed. “Promise not to kill anyone then!” She laughed.--Crow That Flies at Night

"Yeah! Thanks so much! But maybe tomorrow...I'm tired," Ember bounced up and down. *Yes! YES! I think she likes me! Maybe she's impressed! SHE IS SO COOL!*--Ember that Rises from Ashes

“Alright, I’ll take you back to camp then.” She too was tired of having fun for once, turns out Mossystone made it look easy trying to actually fight the current. Her muscles where tired.--Bass That Fights the Currents

Wolf continued to look around.--Wolf That Runs in Darkness

Scorch purred, "Never!" He got off and nipped Crow on her tail playfully.--Scorch That Works With Fire

 After Flame finished cleaning herself, she saw Wolf looking around. She asked, "Would you like to help me find moss?" She knew it wasn't the best thing in the world, but it was something.--Flame That Burns Blood

Wolf looked up at Flame, and nodded. “Sure!” He said.--Wolf That Runs in Darkness

“aahhhhhh! Fighting back I see! You will pay!” She bit at his paws and swiped his ears.--Crow That Flies at Night

"Thanks," Ember nodded.--Ember That Rises From The Ashes

Bass padded along with the she-kit and climbed her tree as usual once they entered camp.--Bass That Fights the Current

 Flame smiled at Wolf and whispered to Scorch, who was being tackled by Crow, “Watch the camp. I am getting moss with Wolf.” She padded away with the little tom trotting beside her.--Flame That Burns Blood

 Scorch joked after Flame, “I think I won’t be able to!” He flopped to the ground, bursting with laughter with Crow.--Scorch That Works With Fire

“Yeah you won’t!” She giggled, giving into laughter and rolling onto her back laughing.--Crow That Flies at Night

Wolf followed Flame.--Wolf That Runs in Darkness

Scorch shook himself, sending dust everywhere. He play-growled, “I will get my revenge!”--Scorch That Works With Fire

Flame spotted a lot of moss and started to dig it up. Flame could feel that Wolf felt a little awkward and afraid, but did a very good job trying not to show it. She smiled.--Flame That Burns Blood

Wolf picked up a bunch of moss.--Wolf That Runs in Darkness

“Aaaaaah!” She ran as Scorch chased after her, bubbling with laughter.--Crow That Flies at Night

Scorch ran after Crow, making weird and scary sounds as they played.--Scorch That Works With Fire

Gale pounced on an impressively large beetle in a somewhat sloppy fashion, but managed to trap the black-winged creature underneath her tiny paws. *I should catch a mouse outside of camp next!* An ambitious thought, but the gray-furred kitten had endless curious energy and she needed her stimulis. However, while she was off thinking, the beetle pinched her pawpad in an attempt to fight back. Gale hissed in response, leaning backward and swatting at the creature multiple times.--Gale of the Thundering Storm

Storm glanced around, her tail flicking. Everything seemed peaceful. Gale was fighting a beetle, Scorch was playing with Crow, Wolf was with Flame, and Ember was following Bass.--Storm That Rages The Sky

Ember trotted over. "Hm. What's that, Gale?" She leaned closer. "Oh. A beetle! Nice."--Ember that Rises from Ashes

"It bit me!" Gale wrinkled her nose before she sent another merciless swat at the beetle's direction. Finally, the insect had enough and suddenly raised its powerful wings and flew upward in a swift fashion, causing Gale to practically jump out of her fur. "...It needed to be punished."--Gale of the Thundering Storm

"Yeah!" Ember sprang after the beetle, but it whizzed resignedly away. "Humph. Well, maybe *someone else* will eat it.“--Ember that Rises from Ashes

"That someone will be me." Would Gale really eat a beetle? Well...she always wondered what they tasted like. "We should track it down and give it what it deserves!"--Gale of the Thundering Storm

Scorch yowled before Crow leaped at him. “No you both are staying in camp. Bettles don’t last long anyway” He mewed before a small lump of fur fell on him..--Scorch That Works With Fire

Ember turned. "Oh. *You*. Anyways, Gale, that's a great idea! Or, we could find another one and interrogate it until it tells us where *the secret beetle hidey hole is!* Then we could lay siege to their castle and demand the beetle!"--Ember that Rises from Ashes

The gray kitten furrowed her browline furtively. "We need to start digging! We can't let those pesky beetles skitter around and keep biting others!" *Unless they bite our enemies, of course.* Gale didn't mention the second part, but immediately starting trying to disturb the earth beneath her paws.--Gale of the Thundering Storm

Ember leaped to her sister's aid, ginger paws digging as fast as possible... Which wasn't really fast. "Hm... Maybe we should get Crow to come too."--Ember that Rises from Ashes

"No!" Her tiny kit brain was already running wild with imagination. "I've already been bit-I might be infected with something! If we get anyone else involved, they might get bit, and then *they* might become infected. This is our job, Ember!"--Gale of the Thundering Storm

Storm heard Gale nervous squeaks. She padded forward the wrapped her tail around the tiny gray kit's body. "Are you alright?" she mewed.--Storm That Rages The Sky

The minicopy of her mother struggled from the queen's grasp. "Mom, I'm infected! If you get any closer, you'll get it, too!"--Gale of the Thundering Storm

Crow cocked her head to her sister. “I don’t think that’s how bug bites work.”--Crow That Flies At Night

"Yeah, it is!" Ember said enthusiastically, completely enthralled in Gale's way of thinking. "Let her go," the flame point she-kit narrowed her silvery blue eyes at Storm. "We need to keep digging!"--Ember that Rises from Ashes

The lilac she-cat squinted in Crow's direction. "Who made *you* all-knowledgeable?" She retorted before she frantically returned to her digging. "Ember, I got one- oh." It was just a black pebble.--Gale of the Thundering Storm

Crow frowned. “I thought the bug had to be poisonous. Or big.” She yawned.--Crow That Flies At Night

"*It was both*," Ember breathed.--Ember that Rises from Ashes

Gale continued to narrow her pair of kitten-blue eyes into slits as they focused on her other sister. "Yeah," she supported Ember as she halted her digging. "Besides, Ember and I caught it- not you! You wouldn't know because you weren't up close to it like we were."--Gale of the Thundering Storm

Crow shrugged. “*Ok*. But I think bugs really don’t want to hurt us unless they have to.” And then yawned. “I think I’m gonna nap Scorch. I’m tired.” She huffed.--Crow That Flies At Night

*Suck-up...* Gale thought to herself bitterly before she continued to dig heartily in the damp earth, hoping to find the family of the beetle that she and Ember had some serious beef with.--Gale of the Thundering Storm

Scorch purred at the little kit. *She is so smart and..........not dumb*. "Ok, but I will get my revenge!" he grinned.--Scorch That Works With Fire

“Not if I get mine first!” She joked. Passing the two weirdo sisters she padded to where she usually slept. And lay in a little ball.--Crow That Flies At Night

 Scorch rolled his eyes amused at Crow. He padded away to the freshkill pile and sat down to eat a raven.--Scorch That Works With Fire

Wolf pricked his ears, and began sniffing around the area where him and Flame were. He then saw a big brown creature with tree branches on it’s head (a buck). “AHHH!” He jumped back. “TREE MONSTER!”--Wolf That Runs in Darkness

Flame laid down her moss and padded to stand beside the young to. “Calm down Wolf. It is just a deer, also called buck. It is more scared of us then you are.” She watched the animal leap away.--Flame That Burns Blood

Storm chuckled at her kits’ attempts to find the beetle. She padded out of camp and scraped up a black beetle for them to use as a reference. The beetle wiggled around. Its shell was glossy black and hard between her teeth and she gently carried it over to Ember and Gale. "Here. You can use this."--Storm That Rages The Sky

Wolf’s spiked fur, smoothed, and he sheathed his claws, looking up at Flame. “Are there any more?” He asked.--Wolf That Runs in Darkness

Streak padded over to Twilight and sat down next to her, but when she looked at him, there was murder in her eyes. He quickly moved away.-- Sky That Streaks The Clouds

After scaring off Streak, Twilight moved closer to the nursery and looked at the kits. She smiled watching the kittens play with a beetle. She suddenly had a flash back to growing up in the nursery in WillowClan. Then remembered finding out who her mother was. She was furious that her mother was the medicine cat and no one had ever told her. She realized that the kits were staring up at her with questioning looks and shook the scowl off her face. She said to them, “Oh, don't mind me. Look your beetle is getting away!" She smirked with amusement when the kits scrambled off after it. She wondered if she would ever have kits....--Twilight Of The Darkest Night

( LOL with *murder* XD )--Ivy

Flame started to wash her face. “How about you try to smell it?” She laid her tail across her paws.--Flame That Burns Blood

Wolf frowned, and sniffed the air. “I can’t smell anymore.” He said.--Wolf That Runs in Darkness

Flame purred. “You can, it is just that there are no more deer around.” She smiled.--Flame That Burns Blood

Wolf nodded. “Okay!” He said. He then growled, and clawed at the air, fighting an invisible enemy. “I want to learn how to fight!” He told Flame, his eyes alight with bloodlust.--Wolf That Runs in Darkness

Flame mewed, “You will when you are old enough.” She started to grab more moss, with Wolf by her side.--Flame That Burns Blood

Wolf’s tail drooped. “Fine.” He growled, and began picking up more moss.--Wolf That Runs in Darkness

Crow flattened her ears, this dream just turned to a nightmare as she thought of Queen Flame. She widened her eyes and pupils to slits as Flame grabbed her and threw her. She cried in the dream for help, but the Queen of Darkness forbid it. As she left Crow begging at her paws. (Not prophetic, just a Crow thing)--Crow That Flies At Night

Flame growled without looking at Wolf, ”Your time will come. Patience is the only thing in your way.“ She threw shredded moss everywhere.--Flame That Burns Blood

Scorch heard squeaks coming from the den. He ran inside and saw Crow flopping in terror. He laid down beside her and calmed the she-kit. “What is wrong?”--Scorch That Works With Fire

Crow jolted awake. “Queen Flame killed me!”--Crow That Flies At Night

“*Patience.*” Wolf hissed in disgust under his breath. “Patience can’t win a war! Patience can’t save you! Patience doesn’t do any good for anyone!”--Wolf That Runs in Darkness

Flame narrowed her firey eyes at Wolf.--Flame That Burns Blood

Scorch nuzzled the frightened kit. “Flame would never do that.“ *She would with kits born from traitors.* Scorch laid his tail on Crow’s back to calm the kit.--Scorch That Works With Fire

Crow frowned. “B-but she kills everyone...mommy mentioned Queen Flame killing her once...” she frowned.--Crow That Flies At Night

Scorch sighed. “Flame was told by a cat to kill Storm. She didn’t do it out of her own want.” *At least not Storm....“*And Storm needed to be killed. She was told something special.”--Scorch That Works With Fire

Crow was curious. “What’s so special about being dead?” She asked.--Crow That Flies At Night

Scorch twitched his ears.“Well, like Storm told you she went to StarClan. Sometimes you can go to StarClan and lives happily. But Storm has another reason to die.--Scorch That Works With Fire

Crow frowned. “Then why isn’t she dead if she went to dead cats?”--Crow That Flies At Night

Scorch mewed, “She didn’t need to die. Storm needed to get a message.”--Scorch That Works With Fire

Ember flicked her ginger tail in annoyance, but decided fighting Storm wasn't worth the effort. "Hmph. Yeah." She kept digging.--Ember that Rises from Ashes

“What message though?” Crow meowed.--Crow That Flies at Night

Bass was in a dream full of greatness. She, Mossy, Pond. Together again. Just skating on the frozen river in leaf bare.--Bass That Fights The Current

Scorch nudged Crow. "Nothing that you should know now." Scorch purred, "Watch out. I am going to get my revenge soon!"--Scorch That Works With Fire

“I’ll be waiting then!” Crow meowed.--Crow That Flies at Night

Scorch asked, "You sure?" He started to wiggle his hindquarters and make playful growling sounds. "ROAAAAARRRRRR!"--Scorch That Works With Fire

“Aaaaaaa!" Crow leaped on his head and covered his eyes with her paws.--Crow That Flies at Night

Scorch fell and felt Crow tumble off. He leaped gently at her and played nipped her neck. "I got my revenge! Muhahaha!" He tickled Crow playfully.--Scorch That Works With Fire

"Oh no! My weakness!” She laughed it up and couldn’t stop. Arg curse her ticklishness.--Crow That Flies at Night

Scorch laughed, "Now we are even." He stopped and groomed the she-kit clean and himself. Then he purred, "Now, how about that flower adventure I promised you?"--Scorch That Works With Fire

F*inally!* She purred. “Oh yeah! I want to do that!”--Crow That Flies at Night

Scorch joked, "I can see that you are tired after I beat you!" He padded away with Crow trotting beside her. *We have to be back soon before dusk. So we can't go far.* Scorch stopped as they came to a golden prarie with pretty flowers. They started to pick flowers and pad back to camp.--Scorch That Works With Fire

With a full-on force pounce, Gale successfully squished the beetle that her mother had shown to her and Ember. "Success! We will eliminate its family, one beetle at a time!"--Gale of the Thundering Storm

"No beetle will escape the wrath of Gale and Ember!" Ember yowled, ginger tail raised triumphantly.--Ember that Rises from Ashes

Storm purred. She looked at Ember and Gale. "Would you like to...take a step outside of camp?"--Storm That Rages The Sky

"No. *Bass* has taken me out-she says I'm really good at tracking. No thanks to you. Bass is the only sensible cat in this whole pigsty, and she's gonna be *my* mentor." Ember curled her lip. She had a weird dislike of her mother, and she couldn't explain why. *Don't get too friendly...You might need to betray them sometime...*--Ember that Rises from Ashes

Storm sighed. "Gale, would you like to go outside?"--Storm That Rages The Sky

Wolf pinned his ears back against his head, and backed away from Flame, cautiously. He only backed away a few steps, though.--Wolf That Runs in Darkness

Flame felt warm dark feelings rise within her. She snarled, "Patience can block you, but you need to first trick it." Her amberish fire eyes grew into evil slits and she sunk her claws into the ground. "Have patience on your side, and then you can do anything you desire."--Flame That Burns Blood

Wolf That Runs in Darkness looked at Flame That Burns Blood in the eyes. There was something about that evil that didn’t scare him. Not like it did to his littermates.--Wolf That Runs in Darkness

Blossom scampered around, chasing a leaf.--Blossom Glowing in the Sunset

Flame glared back at Wolf, as if daring him to keep looking. He tom looked away and Flame smirked. Once they got enough moss, they picked it up with the moss scent in her mouth. Flame dropped her moss suddenly and ordered, "Wait." Flame sat down and a black and white she-cat padded out. Flame dipped her head. "Skyshadow." Skyshadow nodded her greeting in return. Flame mewed to Wolf, "This is Skyshadow, my mentor and.............adopted mother." Skyshadow smiled at her daughter. "Skyshadow was the one who tried to make cats see different, but they didn't. Skyshadow is now helping us fight against the cats who wronged us." She stared at Wolf. "Which means NO attacking her." Flame then looked back at Skyshadow. "Where is Swiftshadow? What brings you here?" Skyshadow growled, "Swiftshadow stayed back. She didn't feel well. I have brought news. Shadowchaser is Quillstar, leader of WillowClan. Mistystar left." Flame smirked. "But Rainsplash is now deputy." Flame frowned. *Hmmmmm*.......Skyshadow mewed, "We will get them all who wronged you." Flame blinked agreement. Skyshadow sighed. "I better get back. I might not come back in a while since Rainsplash is deputy." She touched noses with Flame and dipped her head to Wolf. As the black and white she-cat disappeared, Flame slid out her claws.--Flame That Burns Blood and Skyshadow

Wolf watched Skyshadow go, and turned back to Flame. “Is she going to help us attack WillowClan?” He asked.--Wolf That Runs in Darkness

Flame nodded. "Yes she is. But it is not WillowClan, only the cats the wronged us." She laughed. "But if you need to kill because you want to, you can. Nothing will stop me from doing what I love."--Flame That Burns Blood

Gale's ears perked up when her mother mentioned leaving camp. "Yes!" She chimed up in response almost immediately. Any excuse to get out of camp!--Gale of the Thundering Storm

Wolf nodded.--Wolf That Runs in Darkness

Scorch narrowed his eyes worriedly at Storm and Night. *We should stay in camp, but get Flame angry.*--Scorch That Works With Fire

 Flame picked up her moss and mewed, "Wolf, you have a great path ahead of you." before she began to pad back to camp.--Flame That Burns Blood

Bass hissed as she clawed up her tree bark flying everywhere she hissed and ripped her fangs into it, clawing at it. She was so MAD! She spat some bark out as she paused for a breath.--Bass That Fights The Current

 Scorch tipped his head to one side has be saw angry Bass. He whispered to Crow, “Do you think you should give some flowers to Bass?”--Scorch That Works With Fire

Crow shivered. “No.... she’s scary.” She frowned as she ducked as a big peice of bark flew over her head.--Crow That Flies at Night

 Scorch laid his tail on her shoulder. "I only asked. It is fine." He dipped his head at Bass. He then brightened up. "I got a surprise for you."--Scorch That Works With Fire

Crow looked to him. “Huh?”--Crow That Flies at Night

 Scorch purred, "I have a surprise for you Crow. Close your eyes!" He grinned.--Scorch That Works With Fire

Crow closed her eyes.--Crow That Flies at Night

Bass glared to Scorch. She hissed and kept shredding the tree.--Bass That Fights The Current

 Scorch frowned at Bass. Weird. Then he quickly made a flower crown and placed it on Crow’s head. He “bowed“, still showing his loyalty lies to his reviled leader and not to a pretty kit. He purred, “Greetings Queen Crow.”--Scorch That Works With Fire

Crow gasped. “Uh oh. Now a Queen Flame’s gonna challenge me!” She squeaked.--Crow That Flies at Night

 Scorch raised his brows. “Calm down. It is just pretend Crow. And again Flame won eat you as long as you listen and obey her commands.”--Scorch That Works With Fire

Crow cocked her head. “Why? What happens if we don’t want to listen?” Crow meowed. Bass interfered and smirked. “She gives you scars to remember little kit. I’m sure she loved to beat on cats. Even her closest friends. Right Scorch?” Bass spat.--Crow That Flies at Night and Bass That Fights The Current

Scorch didn't get what Bass said that was NOT true of Flame. “Yeah. That is literally who cats think she is Bass. I thought you already knew that.” He narrowed his eyes. “Weren’t you just mad at that tree? Hm well I think you haven’t beaten it yet. Maybe finish that job.” Turning to Crow, he mewed, “You either listen to Flame or leave with no help nor mercy. That is what The Masters are.” Scorch took the flower crown and padded away with it.--Scorch That Works With Fire

Bass huffed. “The tree wasn’t the aim of my claws. Something else is.” She spat. Padding to her nest.-Bass That Fights The Current

 Scorch tipped his head to one side, then shrugged. He padded away with the crown and hid it in a high branch. *I guess those flowers are just bad.*--Scorch That Works With Fire

Crow frowned. Would she obey Flame when it came to being commanded to murder anyone? Surely not. If she ever would she’d be a monster. No cat deserved to die. Not the evil ones, not the weak ones however you determine who they are, not the nice or strong ones. No one ever deserved to die in her book. She she knows she’s gonna have to work hard to keep it that way. Even if it’ll mean her getting hurt. Killing was against her rules.--Crow That Flies at Night

Scorch padded to the entrance of the camp and stood guard.--Scorch That Works With Fire
