A small she-cat timidly made her way down the SoulClan-DeathClan border. She knew exactly where the border line was, and she made sure she stayed directly on the border line. Raine could smell the scents of both Clans coming from either side of her, but no fresh scents arose so far. She didn't know exactly why she had decided to enter the territories, oh, say some voice in the back of her head talked her into it. Raine padded quietly along a stream, stopping a couple times to lap up the sparkling water. She stretched and sat with her fluffy tail curled neatly over her paws. She blinked up at the sky, the soothing sun reflecting in her eyes. Raine could hear mice scuttling around in the underbrush, but she dare not hunt on either territories.

Shattergaze buried the last of her kill underneath an oak. She had already caught three mice and a vole, fair work. After all, she had just gone out hunting to ward off the boredom...now that the midnight attack on SoulClan was over, normal Clan life seemed so boring...no cats to kill, no blood to feel underneath her claws...she shook her head to quit the daydream.
But her ears pricked, and she caught a scent on the wind. Her icy eyes flashed. Loner...interesting. I wonder if she will be as much of a killer as the others have been lately? She left her buried kills and silently raced through the trees for the border. As she emerged from the trees, she could see a small she-cat padding directly on the line between DeathClan and SoulClan. In one glance, she could see this cat would never be cut out for DeathClan, and her eyes narrowed. Not acceptable for my Clan. Well...let's see what she has to say. Maybe she knows something about SoulClan? Maybe I can get some information out of her before I rip out her throat.
Padding out of the wood, Shattergaze smiled sarcastically at the cat. "And who might you be?"

She narrowed her eyes at the DeathClan cat, but dipped her head graciously at her. "I am Raine. Who are you?" Raine asked politely, trying to keep her bubbling hostility out of her expression. She knew this cat would eventually attack for no reason, just because she was raised in that wretched excuse for a Clan. "I was just taking a walk..." She explained. Raine eyed the DeathClan cat warily. A cloud covered the sun, it's dark shadow falling over the forest. She shivered when the sun's warmth disappeared, but dimissed it as a casual shake of her pelt as if to rid it of leaf scraps.

Shattergaze's smile widened at the obvious disdain in the loner's eyes. Oooh, a DeathClan hater, how quaint. So that means she is in league with SoulClan, whether she knows it or not. This should be fun. Shattergaze smoothly made her way closer to the cat, her muscled body winding over. "Well Raine, I am Shattergaze, the Deputy of DeathClan." Her eyes flashed as she smiled wide.
"And you were just taking a walk, hmm? Not trying to meet up with any SoulCats, now were you? Because as a DeathClan cat, I just wouldn't be able to stand for that." She calmly inspected her claws. I hope this picks up...it's getting boring...

She shook her head. "No. I have no need to speak with SoulClan, I can assure you." Raine spoke strongly, though her courage was running low. "And I have no buisness with DeathClan either." For some reason, she wished for the sun to come back, as if it's rays would wash away any trace of DeathClan. She took a step back as Shattergaze approached her. This she-cat was almost twice as big as her and could probably take Raine down and kill her easily. Her claws sheathed and unsheathed repeatedly, tearing up the grass beneath her.

Skyshadow scented Shattergaze's kills and went to inspect. To his surprise, the she-cat's scent was strong, but she wasn't there. Where did she run off to? Skyshadow followed her scent, directly to the SoulClan border, where another scent reached him. He grinned. Shattergaze was having a little fun? Then he saw no reason why he shouldn't join her.

Shattergaze tilted her head, her icy eyes rapidly becoming bored. She says she didn't come here to speak with any cat...so why the hell is she here at all? And its obvious that she dislikes our Clan...even if she fears us. Shattergaze smirked. "So if have no wish to talk to either Clan, why are you on the borders at all?" Shattergaze took another step towards the cat, and her grin widened as the loner took a step back.
The wind shifted, and Shattergaze picked up the scent of another DeathClan cat. Skyshadow...well, he'll be sure to enjoy this little situation as well. Picking Raine apart will be just too easy now.

Firefang padded around the territory with a hawk in his jaws. An unfamiliar scent wafted through his nostrils. He followed it to find a sort of border skirmish." Hmm, looks like that stray took a wrong turn." he scoffed to himself.
Instead of calling cats `loners' he prefers to call them strays which is a twoleg taunt. He didn't care much of what other cats thought of him for being different and he harldy cared for anything at all.

((duh da da! Whisper to the rescueee! lol))
Skyshadow let out a yowl upon seeing the loner. The cat looked so small and afraid, he could squash her with a single paw. The yowl was just to make her even more terrified. He loved playing with minds like that. Skyshadow knew exactly how massive and intimidating he looked, with his battle-scarred pelt. He padded up beside Shattergaze and the two cats loomed over the loner.
"Well, well, well. What have we here?"
-------------------------------
Whisperstar heard a yowl coming from the border lines. For a heartbeat, she was hesitant. She hadn't sent any patrols that way. She was the only hunting patrol in this part of the forest. Was DeathClan asking for a battle? "I wouldn't put it past them," she muttered to herself. With a sigh, she began making her way to the border. A wave of scents washed over her that made her pick up speed with concern. Shattergaze, Skyshadow, and that new loner that had just moved into the outskirts of their territory. Whisperstar had never spoken to her directly, but Raine was nice, quiet, and harmless to SoulClan.
What was she doing out here? And why was she with DeathClan cats? Whisperstar hoped Shattergaze wasn't causing unnecessary trouble. But that's what she lives for, Whisperstar reminded herself. And Skyshadow was just despicable. He cared for nothing and no one, not even in his own Clan. She wondered what Darkstar had ever done to earn Skyshadow's loyalty. Whisperstar slowed to a walk and peered out at the border line. Just as she had expected, the two DeathClan cats were towering over Raine, who looked terrified. Whisperstar lashed her tail in disgust and anger. She stalked out of the forest just as Skyshadow spoke.
"Well, well, well. What have we here?"
Whisperstar swallowed her anger and spoke in the same cool, detached tone. "We seem to have..." she pretended to think. "A bully," she mewed, looking at Shattergaze. "An even bigger bully," and she moved her gaze to Skyshadow. "And an innocent cat," as her eyes lit on Raine. "What a surprise. Is life so unsatisfying for you that you have to pick on cats half your size, Skyshadow?" She didn't give him a chance to reply before turning to Shattergaze. "And you. You're just pathetic."

Shattergaze scented SoulClan, and as she identified who the cat was, she rolled her eyes. Oh joy, Whisperstar...time for speeches and weak insults. Does she ever get tired of her noble little actions and trying to guilt-trip us into not being the way we are? It's pathetic.
Cracking her neck, Shattergaze met eyes with Whisperstar and couldn't help but laugh. "Bullies? That's the best you could do?" Her voice was calm, cold, mocking. "That term doesn't even begin to describe DeathClan. I much more preferred "ruthless murderers". It has a nice ring to it." As she turned her 'insults' to Skyshadow, Shattergaze just shook her head. He wasn't the type of cat that would stand for that. "The most satisfying part of life is killing off the weak to let the strong survive. It's doing the weak a favor, really. But apparently SoulClan doesn't understand that." She shook her head in pity.
As Whisperstar called Shattergaze 'pathetic', the Deputy just shook her head and laughed. "What's really pathetic is you and your Clan, Whisperstar. Your cats are weak, they die constantly, you haven't won a battle in moons, and you can't even insult us properly. It's sad, and I must say, a little disappointing. I was hoping for better, something at least a little interesting."

Firefang pushed through the bushes, leaving his hawk buried." Hehehe! Bullies? That's the best you've got? Bullies? HA!" he snickered, nearly falling over in laughter. "What about,` Cruel murderers' or `Blood-thirsty brutes'? But no." he meowed between laughs. "Man, you've got some bad puns! Anyways," Firefang turned to Shattergaze." Who have we here? A Soulclan alli?" he growled.

She shrank back when Skyshadow stalked up to them. Raine gasped in relief when she scented SoulClan. She looked at the SoulClan leader as she walked up. "J-just passing through," she insisted, looking at Firefang sheepishly. Her tail fluffed up to where it looked twice its normal size. Raine looked at Whisperstar and bounded over to stand behind her. "I'm sorry," she mumbled. "I know I'm not supposed to be out here." Her gaze flickered fearfully to each DeathClan cat over and over. Her ears were flattened against her head.
The sun reappeared as the cloud moved away from it, and the light warmed her pelt, somewhat relaxing Raine. From that relaxation, she gained a bit of courage, and her terror turned to burning anger.
"Get lost you rediculous fleabags," the little loner sneered. "Go home and kill yourselves if you're so bored. Maybe then, the real cats can rule the forest!" Raine bared her teeth, though she was very surprised at her continuous hostility. It usually burned out just as quickly as it flared.

Shattergaze's ears pricked as Firefang came over to join the group, also commenting on Whisperstar's failed attempt at an insult. He glared at the loner, Raine, and Shattergaze titled her head, a sneer on her face. "Well, if she's not a SoulClan ally, then she is definitely a SoulClan sympathizer." She chuckled. "And either way, that's a bad thing."
As the loner leapt behind Whisperstar, Shattergaze laughed. "That proves it, she's a coward who has faith in SoulClan." Shattergaze listened to Raine also call out insults, and couldn't believe it. "This is pathetic...both of you truly are pathetic. 'Go home and kill yourselves if you're bored'..." Shattergaze shook her head. "Not exactly the thing I would be saying when I'm outnumbered three to two."

Silentfeather looked to Shattergaze. Then he looked to the other cats. Silentfeather walked over. "Is there something wrong?" He Asked. He scented the air. He catch a Soulclan cat smell. "I smell Soulclan.."
Creampaw ran over with a mouse a her jaws. " Hey whats going on!?" She looked at Silentfeather. She growled.

She jumped when she spotted Silentfeather. Two to four... Then Creampaw joined them and she relaxed a little. Then again, all the DeathClan cats were much bigger than Raine and Creampaw.
Raine could fight if she had to, and she'd picked up several techniques from loners and rogues she'd met. She knew Creampaw could fight almost as well as a warrior, unless she was newly apprenticed. But Whisperstar could fight too, so that helped, but it wasn't enough to win. They needed more SoulClan cats desperately.
She looked twice her size with her fur fluffed up, almost as big as Shattergaze. The stress was building as fast as her anger and frustration toward DeathClan was burning. Raine coul never forgive herself if the two Clans started a war, or a least a battle, just because of her stupidity. This is getting rediculous! she thought hoarsely. Why do those wretched DeathClan cats have to make a giant fuss about everything? They always have to think they know best. She shook her head, narrowing her eyes. They know wrong.
She stepped forward from behind the SoulClan leader, her head held high. "I started this, now I should end it," she meowed. Raine spoke in a lower voice, shaking her head skeptically. "That way you mindless death cats will be satisfied for the day." Then she raised her voice, glaring at the DeathClans cats. "Okay. Who wants to battle me/rip me to shreds?"

Owlsong padded through the woods preparing for a little hunt. Owlsong streched out her legs, and paws and Sheathed and unsheathed her claws over and over again. In a matter of 5 minutes, Owlsong was ready to hunt. Owlsong padded deeper into the woods and sniffed the air. Who was this? A loner.... Whisperstar, and a Deathclan cat? Curiously, Owlsong slowly follwed the strong scent. It took a while to get there, but at last, Owlsong caught sight of the argument. Owlsong was carefull knowing this was the border to stay on the Soulclan side. Then, Deathclan has nothing to fight about.
Owlsong padded over to the rest of the cats and meowed, "What is going on here?" But Owlsong got part of the details already. It's probably a quarrel of the loner and Deathclan involved. Soulclan wants them to stop and this happened. Owlsong frowed and braced for an attack to come soon

Silentfeather shook his head. "I have no clue whats going on. I was just out for a walk when i heard you cats." Creampaw padded to Silentfeather, "Look brother! I catch a mouse!" She closed her eyes happily. "Im impressed!" meowed Silentfeather. "You did great!" Creampaw smiled and dropped the catch. " Im getting better!" Silentfeather looked to Owlsong and the loner. " Huh, im not looking for a fight unless i have too fight." He meowed very calm. "Just because im a DeathClan cat doesn't mean i kill very thing in sight. Im very new to the clan so i dont know much about it." Creampaw meowed to Silentfeather and Owlsong. " Well i don't know about DeathClan but Soulclan''s great! I don't have a mentor yet but all the cats are so nice!!" She meowed proudly. SilentFeather nodded, "Great!"

Shattergaze's cold laugh echoed through the forest as Raine volunteered to fight the DeathClan cat's. Her smile was poisonous, icicle eyes glinting sharply. "Well well well loner, I do believe you have dug your own grave. It is so rare we get to fight a willing cat...a nice change of pace. As to who will fight you..." Shattergaze looked at the cats on her side. "Anyone of them may. After all, I don't want to have all the fun. I've killed so many already, it just wouldn't be fair for me to take another. Unless you want me to, of course," she snickered.
Two more cats joined the growing crowd on the boarder. Silentfeather, a new DeathClan member, and an apprentice from SoulClan along with another SoulClan warrior. Shattergaze just shook her head. Just an apprentice and some untrained warrior. Nothing to worry about. Then Shattergaze noticed Silentfeather chatting with the SoulClan apprentice, and announcing how he didn't see the "need" to kill everything in sight. Shattergaze's eyes narrowed and shone dangerously.
"Silentfeather. Why are you talking to this SoulCat?" Friends between the two enemy Clans did not exist and would not exist. Shattergaze and the rest of DeathClan would never stand for it.

Creampaw growled. "Hey!!! This so called Soulcat can hear you!! I am his sister!!" She stepped forward and unsheathed her claws. From what her deadly brother taught her, if they attack her she just might survive. Silentfeather out his paw in front of Creampaw. "Dont go looking for a fight, i dont want you to die, not now at least!" He whispered in her ear. Creampaw sighed and nodded. "Ok" Then she stepped back and sat down but kept her claws unsheathed. "What you gonna do?" She growled silently.

Firefang's eyes narrowed." Wow, this loner seems suicidle because she's asking for death to bite her in the *ss!" he sneered cruely. His back fur bristled when he saw his clanmate chatting with a Soulcat.
"Oh, ya she's your sister. If your soo close, then leave. If you want to protect her and such, your testing our trust in you. It seems to make me question your loyalty quite alot!" Firefang remarked, growling.
