Walking the Border

[yellow]

Raineyes turned around slowly, hearing Windrunner taunt Nightpaw. A growl rumbled in her throat and she turned to Cheetahfeather, '' I'll be right back. '' Raineyes mewed calmly and then padded to stand behind Windrunner. '' Excuse my friend, but if you have a problem with my clan mate being weak, then I'll deal with you if you like. '' Raineyes mewed in a polite tone as if she was offering to share a piece of fresh kill with a clan mate. She knew Nightpaw would be angry with her for fighting with Windrunner, but Raineyes really did want a shot at the warrior. They stared at each other for a few moments, icy blue and burning sapphire locked on to each other. Suddenly Raineyes jumped at her knocking the she~cat off her paws and aimed a bite to her throat.

[Wind:.*.:Stone]

Windrunner rolls out form under her, using her hind legs to scratch up Raineye's stomach as she moves. She hisses, glaring at Raineyes.
"I'm not your fight. " She sits, her tail lashing back and fourth in rage. She keeps her eyes on Raineyes, also looking at Nightpaw.
"Your not the one I want to kill."

[yellow]

Raineyes tipped her head to one side, her voice full of curiosity though her eyes still emotionless, '' I thought SoulClan cats didn't kill. '' she mewed. '' Or do they only kill apprentices since their cats can't fight like real warriors. '' Raineyes meowed, her voice back to the same cold lifeless tone it usually was. '' Or is it just that you are not a real SoulClan warrior? Well you still fight horribly like the rest of your clan... I guess it's just that you don't have the same morales as your pathetic clan mates. '' Raineyes concluded, half talking to herself.

[Wind:.*.:Stone]

Windrunner smirks.
"Your right. I dont." She looks over at Raineyes, her fire meeting ice. "I want to kill every cat in DeathClan, apprentice or not. Nightpaw is who I want to kill in this battle. Your not. So, please, lets simply save this for next time, shall we, Raineyes?" She flicks her ear, a drop of bloood hitting the ground with a soft 'pat' sound.

[firefang]

Cheetahfeather narrowed her eyes and padded next to Raineyes." I thought you followed the warrior code. Kill a med. cat? Ha! The Dark Forest calls your name!." she lowered her head." Why don't you join, hmm? You were my friend in Soulclan. How bout here? You can easily get revenge...?"

Fang leaped on Windrunner from behind. He clawed her spine and twisted her back leg until she yowled. He quickly swiped her underbelly and faced her. He braced himself for her attack and stood in front of Nightpaw." Don't say a word. 'I don't need protecting' nothing. Just be glad you're here to help the wounded!" he hissed to her.

[yellow]

While Fang paused and Windrunner regained her footing Raineyes turned to Cheetahfeather, '' Nice. '' Then she jumped back onto Windrunner and pinned her down. '' Don't try to be calm and polite like me my friend, you can't pull it off. '' Raineyes mewed in her face, still keeping her composure and the bit down on Windrunner's throat until she felt blood begin to well up. She lifted her head to lick the blood off her lips and then looked back down at Windrunner, blue fire meeting shocking ice. ( OOC: Lol I love the thing between our eyes xDDD ) '' It's a shame you fight so hardly for the losing team. '' She mewed and then raked her back claws down Windrunner's under bell.

[Wind:.*.:Stone]

Windrunner lets her self yowl in pain before bucking her self up, landing wrong and falling, her breath coming out in little pants. Good StarClan...talk about fighting dirty... Mouse dung.
She turns quickly and swipes at Raineyes, just missing and slipping, moving her legs quickly to catch herself. She glares at Raineyes, there blue eyes like flame meeting ice. (I love the eye thing to xD)
"Its you who's fighting to lose. Even if I die, my clan will take care of that. I dont fear death,and I'll take any cat down with me that I can."
The pain. It was nothing. She'd hurt before, and she could learn to ignore that. Its was just that she was worried she might faint from blood loss, or her legs would give out. That would not be good.

[.:.S.:.t.:.o.:.r.:.m.:.]

When Windrunner was distracted Nightpaw leapt on her, barreling her hard into the ground. The warrior was getting very tired very fast; good, that meant she would be just that much easier to kill. Flipping the now gasping warrior onto her back, she raked her claws deeply down her already blood-soaked body. This is so much fun, she thought, smiling. Windrunner was going to die today, hopefully. Unless she somehow had a miracle, like all SoulCats seemed to have. Why were they rewarded by StarClan for being weak? Maybe StarClan just pitied them? That was a better explanation...

Stormheart tackled Fang, sending him belly-first into the ground. She sank her claws deeply into his back, making him yowl in pain. "I thought DeathClan didn't feel pain," she taunted, bashing a paw hard against his head."Seems you do." Stormheart then gave him a vicious and deep bite to the back of his neck, deep enough for his blood to well up in her mouth. She spit it out, staining the already blood-soaked grass an even deeper red. There's so much blood. At this rate all of us are going to die; even DeathClan knows that. So what kind of victory can they claim from this? A decent amount of their warriors -and their deputy and Medicine Cat apprentice, too- are going to die over a loner. They're so stupid. Why don't they just end this? Surely their murder-crazy brains have to understand that fighting like this is suicide.[/size]

[yellow]

Raineyes sat and watched calmly as Nightpaw took over Windrunner. Her belly rumbled suddenly. Raineyes looked around, every cat was distracted, so she padded away from the battle area for a moment to catch prey. After eating a mouse she returned. ( OOC: I know there was no point to that xD ) Raineyes scanned the battle grounds to see who needed help, oh great Stormheart was back on her paws. Dashing forward, she leaped onto Stormheart and pulled her off her clan mate by her front leg, clamping her jaws on a joint. '' When I'm done with you you're gonna wish you couldn't feel pain. '' Raineyes meowed through the fur and then bit down harder. If SoulClan expects DeathClan to retreat, they are mistaken... Raineyes thought to herself.

[Golden /~/ Shatter]

( Dude yeah lots of fighting. And who the eff are frogpaw and autumnwhoever?? w/e ANYWAY XD also pretend shattergaze has been doing things this whole time XD)

Shattergaze titled her head, a half smile on her face, and she let out a contented sigh. It was so beautiful, watching her lovely DeathCats tear those pathetic SoulCats limb from limb. Whisperstar was undoubtedly going to lose another life in this battle, Stormheart was going to be ripped to shreds since everyone in DeathClan wanted her dead, and the other matches seemed to be going very well in favor of DeathClan. Nightpaw, Raineyes, Fang, Cheetahfeather, Skyshadow and Deathstrike were doing excellently. But it was sad, though, because there was almost nothing for her to do...very sad, really.

Her eyes locked on Windrunner, a newer SoulCat, and the DeathClan Deputy watched hate rise in her eyes, and heard her declaration that she wanted all the DeathClan cats dead. Well, well, well, that's not very SoulCat-like. Standing up, she twined easily through the battle until she was closer to Windrunner. Sneering, Shattergaze locked her icy eyes on the SoulCat. "You wish all of us dead, do you? Well we share the same sentiments for you. However it is odd hearing that from you docile SoulCats. What is going through your mind, Windrunner?" She chuckled coldly. "Because I think you're more DeathClan than SoulClan. Only real warriors lust for death, as you do. And the only real warriors in this forest belong to DeathClan." Or are loyal to DeathClan... Shattergaze sneered. "As my warriors said, the Dark Forest is calling to you. You should listen to its voice. After all, why would StarClan want a cat who walks the path of the Dark Forest like you do?"

[firefang]

Fang shook his pelt and struggled up. He padded up to Shattergaze, baring his teeth at Windrunner. He snuck under her(Shatter) and took a darting leap towards Stormheart. He clawed at her ears and made a deep groove in her underbelly. " You feel the rue?" he whispered. " YOU FEEL IT?!?!"

Cheetahfeather swiftly padded over to Raineyes." How do you assess the battle?" she growled coldly." I won't let them win. This battle would've been fine if Soulclan hadn't stuck their noses in!" She flicked her tail to two dead bodies." Pathetic."

[yellow]

Raineyes looked around a sighed, she had nothing to do. Cheetahfeather padded over and began speaking to her, Raineyes nodded in agreement. '' Yes, sad. I really believed Autumnstorm could do better. '' Raineyes mewed as if she were discussing the weather and they weren't surrounded by cats battling to the death ad the ground they stood on was running red with blood. '' SoulClan is putting up a strong defense, as for the loner I guess she ran away. Stupid scum... The SoulClan cats are obviously getting tired, a cat will die tonight. '' She glanced over at Autumnstorm and Frogpaw's bodies, '' Well a real warrior will, and if fate favors DeathClan, '' Raineyes smirked, '' as it usually does, it will be a SoulClan cat. ''

[Wind:.*.:Stone]

Windrunner stands and faces the DeathClan deputy, her gray tabby tail lashing.
"No, I'm not like most SoulCats." Her words are a quiet whisper, filled with malice. "I am just a bit more blood thirsty, a bit more willing to kill: I wont hesitate to kill any of you scum. Even a medicine cat. Or an apprentice." She takes a bold step closer, despite how the motion made her head swim. She stares into the other cat's eyes.
"And maybe your right about me being a better fit for DeathClan, but I'm on SoulClan's side. Maybe one day that will change, but for now, I'm here." She takes a deep breath, her vision getting blurry from all the blood loss.
"So kill me. Take me to your camp as hostage, leave me an inch from death, it doesnt matter. I'm going where your going, in the end." She wonders what her clan mates will think of that little speech, and wonders if she'd even get in trouble for it.
No matter. If they kick me out, I'll be welcome over the border. They need to know the truth about me any ways. She can feel the last of her strength ebbing, and wonders if this is the true end.

[.:.S.:.t.:.o.:.r.:.m.:.]

((Ha ha, that was so from iCarly Fang. xD))

Stormheart flung Fang off of her, sending him crashing into the tree that was just a tail-length away with a hard 'thud'. While he was disoriented she turned to Windrunner. "And maybe you're right about me being a better fit for DeathClan, but I'm on SoulClan's side. Maybe one day that will change, but for now, I'm here. So kill me. Take me to your camp as hostage, leave me an inch from death, it doesn't matter. I'm going where you're going, in the end." Stormheart stood in shock, completely ignoring Fang. He needed to butt out, right now, before she personally ripped his throat out and shipped it off to the Dark Forest. How can she say that, is she really so loyal to SoulClan afterall? Maybe she'll change her mind about being in SoulClan? No, she can't do that. She stood next to Windrunner, whispering lowly in her ear, "Don't say that. You can't and won't do that; you'll regret it," making it so her lips barely moved, and it was way too lay for anyone else to hear; basically making it so that her little warning never happened.

Nightpaw smirked when she heard that Windrunner might one day join DeathClan. She was already more DeathCat-ish than SoulCat-ish; after she'd tried to kill her a few times Windrunner had made that perfectly clear. Maybe she will join DeathClan. Oh, how interesting that would be. Another SoulCat trying to kill their original Clan. She'll actually end up killing a few of their warriors after she realizes that killing is good.[/color]

[yellow]

Raineyes dipped her head to Cheetahfeather, '' I believe this is my cue. '' She mewed and then dashed toward Windrunner then jumped on her back, clinging onto her face with her front claws and raking her back claws down her spine. '' You have the attitude of a DeathClan cat, but do you have the battle skills of one? '' She hissed in her ear and then twisted, claws still digging into Windrunner, and pinned her down on her belly. '' I don't think you have the guts to turn on your friends, you're weak and soft; no matter how much you crave blood you know you could never kill one of you faithful SoulClan friends. '' Raineyes hissed then placed one of her paws on Windrunner's head and shoved her muzzle into the blood stained dirt, claws unsheathed.

[J/o/y!]

(Frogpaw and Autumnstorm? What's all the drama? Have I been away to long? XD)

<sub>Joysong growled that she was perfectly fine and that they had a pack of Deathcats to send to the Dark Forest. It was true. The young she-cat was perfectly capable of ripping out any throat that lingered here right now. The problem was, she couldn't bring herself to. But she could give them enough wounds to sprint for camp with their tails between their legs, howling for mercy.

But on the other hand, Deathstrike was thinking the same thing. He snuck up behind Joysong, and breathed silent thanks when Shattergaze popped out of nowhere. The DeathClan deputy always seemed to pop out of nowhere, an irritating fact, but for once he was grateful. After skimming past her, and quickly murmuring, "We're going to win," he knocked over a shocked Joysong, who had just overheard Windrunner's words. "And maybe you're right about me being a better fit for DeathClan, but I'm on SoulClan's side. Maybe one day that will change, but for now, I'm here. So kill me. Take me to your camp as hostage, leave me an inch from death, it doesn't matter. I'm going where you're going, in the end." Deathstrike thought the ginger cat was about to faint from shock and exhaustion, but that was his job. After knocking her to the ground, he fastened sharp teeth in her ear and shook hard, shredding it down to bits. Joysong just seemed blank. She and Windrunner must be like, best friends or something, Deathstrike thought. It only made him even more disgusted with that idiot he was tearing to pieces that were just about as valueable as fox-dung.</sub>[/color]

[Wind:.*.:Stone]

Windrunner lays where she's pushed down, breathing in dust, to week to get up. If my clan mates dont save me I wont mind one bit. I'm not worthy. She can feel her mind starting to go blank, and she struggles to fight the dark fog brought on from blood loss and exhaustion. She wiggles out form under Raineyes and gets clumsily to her feet, her chest heaving, her breathing sped up as if she had just ran the whole forest.
"I am loyal to SoulClan. " She mews. " I dont plan on joining DeathClan, but if it ever happens for some unseen reason, this is why.
I dont mind killing the people who try to hurt the ones I care about. I will fight to the death, like I'm doing now. I'll fight for my clan, and my clan is SoulClan." She pauses, her breathing raspy and slow now, not a good sign at all. She coughs up blood and realises she must have a broken rib. With all of them attaching at me at once its a wonder I'm not dead yet...
" I have no doubt in my fate after I die. I want death to so many cats, who should I even get a shot at StarClan? That's where my friends will go, not me."
Windrunner's long legs finally give out and she growls in anger. "I think like a DeathClan cat, but that's only when I think of death for your clan. Other than that, I value my friendship, bonds, and love in my clan. Scoff, growl, hiss do what ever, but its true."

[yellow]

( OOC: Windrunner's not gonna die, is she D=? )

Raineyes stood over Windrunner, she had loosened her grip on purpose just to see what poor attempt Windrunner would put up next. '' And that is why you are about to die now, Windrunner. You should have wised up and come to your senses, but now you will die a pitiful death. The death of a weak cat. You could have gone far, and when you did you would have been taken into the Dark Forest hailed as a hero. You chose the wrong path my friend, and now you are paying the toll. '' Raineyes mewed, the tone of enjoyment sounding strange because she rarely used it. '' Now look at me, I want to see the light leave your eyes! '' Raineyes hissed and placed one of her paws under Windrunner's chin and lifted it so their eyes could meet. '' I'll see you in the dark forest. '' She meowed as she stared into the mirror that reflected her eyes so strangely, Windrunner's eyes... Were fire and ice touching for the last time...?

[firefang]

Cheetahfeather plodded over to Windrunner, her eyes as hard as steel. "Meet you in The Dark Forest, my friend" she growled. She had always liked Windrunner. And she kknew Windrunner might hold something against Stormheart. She smiled at that. "You were a good warrior blah blah blah. But if you live, I suggest you come to Deathclan(^^ We have ipods!). Revenges are plotted and you can get the anger out of you. I've actually been in Deathclan territory checking things out. Wounderful. Die, my sweet friend, die!"

[Wind:.*.:Stone]

(No killing Windrunner plz x3)
Windrunner rolls out of the final blow about to be delivered to her, the world spinning around her.
"Its not my time!" She hisses, wondering if she would die from blood loss instead. How did I let myself get so weak? So stupid! She growls and the fur along her spine is standing straight up, her own blood matting the gray fur. Her eyes are burning into any one she looks at, a snarl plastered on to her face as she glares at the DeathCats.
"SoulClan is my clan. I'm loyal untill there's nothing to be loyal to." Her legs burned where they had been scratched, and she lashes her tail, daring any DeathCat closer, knowing she would fight to her death if any of them tried.
