For the Last Time, And Never Again « Thread Started on Aug 22, 2007, 2:56am »
The sun was setting when Firefly smiled at Scorpionstar for the last time.
The two were standing on an outcropping of rocks, above the ocean many fox-lengths below them. VenomClan cats call the place ‘Snake’s Fangs’ because the rocks were in the formation of gaping snake jaws.
The leader and the deputy were standing on the bottom of the ‘snake’s’ mouth, below them, a sort of wall of rocks was jutting out of the ocean, as the ‘snake’s’ bottom jaw. The sky, stained blood-red and orange, was darkening, getting ready for the night to begin.
Firefly and Scorpionstar were sitting across from each other. The ginger tom smiled at his leader. “Scorpionstar,” he mewed, his voice awfully dreamy. “I-I think I’m in love…” his voice trailed away as he stared at the setting sun.
The leader blinked his cold, olive eyes at his deputy. “You had to drag me out of camp to tell me that?” he mewed coldly, his voice sounding awfully monotone-like, his tail flicking with irritation. He had better things to do then listen to worthless deputies telling him about their problems.
Firefly shook his head. “Not at all, Scorpionstar,” he meowed respectfully. “It’s just, Oceanmyth lives in RoseClan, and,” Firefly took a deep breath before meeting his leader’s cold gaze. “I want to join RoseClan to be with her,” he finished quite simply.
The ginger and black tom stared. “I cannot let you do that,” he hissed quite suddenly, making Firefly flinch back violently. “You are not leaving the Clan, I can’t allow you to tell that filth all of VenomClan’s secrets.” Scorpionstar’s olive eyes blazed momentarily.
“But… Scorpionstar…” Firefly didn’t get to finish what he wanted to say.
Scorpionstar threw himself at the ginger tom. For several heartbeats, something strange seemed to have awakened in Scorpionstar’s amber eyes. Firefly couldn’t place what it was. It was a mixture of rage, shock, confusion and fear.
The crazed leader pinned Firefly to the ground, his unsheathed claws digging into the ginger tom’s shoulders. “You… Can’t leave!” he snarled into Firefly’s ear.
Firefly raised his head to meet Scorpionstar’s gaze.
Everything happened too fast for Scorpionstar to remember. It only seemed to take a heartbeat for him to yowl out with fury and throw his ginger deputy against a nearby rock. Scoprionstar ignored the sickening crack of Firefly’s back breaking and somehow threw Firefly into the ocean.
There was silence as the sun finally set. As the ocean truly was stained blood-red.
Scorpionstar stirred and his eyes flew open.
His pelt was wet with sweat and was sticking to his lithe body. He was panting, as if he had run all the way from Snake’s Fangs to the VenomClan camp.
Every night, that dream came to haunt him. Every night it was worse and stayed in his mind longer.
Scorpionstar buried his face in his nest. It was soft, made of moss and feathers…

Within the darkness of the sandy desert terrain that was VenomClan. Dispite the darkened silence, two loud snarl's broke out, echoing over the flat ground. In the shadows, two lithe bodies danced around eachother, slashing and tearing skin.
"Wolfclaw, back off!" A young she-cat spat furiously, watching the tom's amber eyes glinting maliciously, bloodlust formed within them.
The tom laughed maniacly, his dog-styled fangs gleaming under the moonlight. "Its about time 'StarClan' accepted my last sibling!" He snarled, spitting the word StarClan with somewhat of disgust.
The she-cat's eyes flared, terror shining within them. "You-don't believe in StarClan!" She hissed, slashing at her brother's long, coarse fur. Her pure blue eyes danced back and forth, watching every movement cautiously. "You're disgusting, you waste of fur!"
Wolfclaw laughed again, planting his paws onto her shoulder, forcing her to the ground, struggling and writhing under his weight. He brought his long, narrow maw to sit beside her ear, whispering, "StarClan is nothing but a story for kits and fools."
A loud wail of pain echoed around the deserted shadows, as Wolfclaw's fangs peirced the skin just beside his sister's throat, just barely missing his target.

Hauntingash slept soundly, her black chest slowly going up and down. She was having a dreamless sleep, which was the best sleep she could have, but yet she twitched in the warrior's den, her whiskers almost touched her closed eyelid. Perhaps she heard a yowl in the distance, which is why her ears went down onto her head, flat. But it didn't wake her, for only the hardest strain of hearing could've an ear heard that through the hard wall of the den. Plus, what did she care if something or someone was in pain?

Scorpionstar curled his tail around his lithe body, trying to reassure himself that everything he had seen had been a smiple harmless dream. Nothing could get him now.
The red tom slowly rose to his paws, flicking a piece of moss of his short fur before hearing a yowl in the distance.
His ears pricked as he slowly took several steps out of his den, hoping that perhaps he had imagined it, and that the cry was simply his dream, his past, coming back to haunt him.
Somewhere, in the depths of his heart, he knew that it was all a lie.

A yowl had broken the peace of her slumber. Rolling over with a aggravated groan, she got to her feet. With a grumpy huff, she walked out of her secret sleeping area. Tonight had been one of those nights, and now someone had gone and woken her up and put her in a pissed off mood. Pale pelted ears pulled back against her head, her black tipped fur standing on end as she strode stiffly out into the clearing. As voices were heard, her eyes narrowed into a deadly glare.
This was to much like that night.. yowling in the middle of the night, no one coming to help. A shudder of anger rippled through her lithe form as she strode into the clearing, vivid green eyes locking on the large tom that was attacking the small female. "Hey! Wolfclaw, stop being an idiot and stop attacking the she-cats." she spat out, her whole form reeking of anger. It was hard at times to stop herself from just bringing others down, but she'd be kind tonight; if he would.
Spotting claws launched toward the airways, she quickly dug her hind paws into the dirt and launched herself at the male, attempting to knock him off the female. "You Mouse-brain, your going against the Warrior code." she hissed, pulling a front paw strike by slicing downward with her front paw aimed directly at Wolfclaw's face.. Claws unsheathed.
