Scarletsnow, now resting, half-dozing, in the grim shadows of camp, after having kicked her wounds clean, or at least, the ones she could reach. Belly wounds would have to wait, for she was stiff yet. And, of course, her beautiful face was still caked evenly with blood, matted in her face-fur, creating a grizzly effect. Dark, forest green lights were dim and half-shut. Suddenly, she flew wide, and, ignoring the pain, she jumped to her feet and dashed over to her mate and one of her kits, and swiftly drew her tougue over Spectre's face, a curt smile spread over her own. She hated to act all motherly, but it was just so hard to fight it sometimes. Sheepishly, she looked away, embarrassed. "You will fight well." She told her kit.

Rainpaw walked up to her parents, silent for once. To tell the truth she was a little nervous. It would be her first real battle. Still she tried to act confident. She gave her chest a few licks before she realized that her parents would notice, it was strange behavior for her to groom herself. So she quickly rolled in the dust a few times.

He heard the alpha say his name. It brought he back to reality. How had he gotten to camp? He shook his head, padding towards the small crowd of cats. His eyes wandered, easily spotting Eclipseomen. His heart seemed to stop. Confusion flooded over him. What was happening to him?!
Anubis looked at her, wishing he could speak to her, but, he knew it was not the time. She was probably mad at him still anyway. Would she ever forgive him? Anger burst through him. WHY ARE YOU ACTING THIS WAY?! his mind screamed. The one part of his mind, the one that had taken over when he had stopped Eclipseomen from killing Isis, spoke up. You love her.
He felt like he was going to fall down. Love?!! The thought made him weak; it made him almost collapse. He stared at Eclipseomen...through new eyes. He did love her, and he had somehow always known.
The black cat was to the crowd of cats. He tumbled around, heading for the front. He stopped next to Shard, Eclipse's brother. "What I miss?" he mewed, no sign of his thoughts showing in his voice.

~Deathbringer~ The monster of a tom wasn't planning on going anywhere but Knife's order cut through him like. . well a knife. He stood to attention and his eyes locked onto his master as he lashed his way through the crowd. Shock rippled through the massive warrior at his leaders words and his shoulders tensed. A chill ran up his spine as he looked over the cats that he was to lead against the higher-ups in the forest. He nodded and a grisly smile stretched across his handsome face. "So you wish it so it shall be my lord Knife" His words were thick and smooth as honey as he paced forward to face the group. All acomplished and glorious killers they would devestate the clan cats.
[shadow=white,left,300]'Scorchedpetal, Anubis, Firehalo, Ire, Shard, Vividmurder, Thunderthighs.'[/shadow]
Deathbringer's gruesome grimace slipped from his maw as Knife padded away. A fire blazed behind his gaze as he looked from each of his hit team. He would not fail. . . Knife gave this into his paws. Failure was not an option. "From what I know of gatherings the leaders will have collected into one spot to speak to their subjects. Deputies, and medicine cats do not stray far from them. We must hit them hard. You do not have to rush the pandamonium that will ensue on our mere arrival will give us enough cover to select our targets. Work together, two of us to one of their leaders. Deputies can be engaged one-on-one or together that is up to you. What I know of their healers they will not put up much of a fight."
Deathbringer's rich voice flooded over his group. His huge form shimmered as shadows flickered and danced over his body. He faded and reappeared like the wavering of candle light. His intense eyes burned and his claws flexed in anticipation and eagerness to please his master. He blinked slowly and felt very foolish but he spoke again, quieter. "I will work with Scorchedpetal. . the rest of you may divide yourselves up as you will." The massive male rolled his shoulders and waited. They were leaving soon and he hoped his crew was ready. With all the scraps and petty fights around the camp it was essencial that he kept these together to fight. Wether they liked to admit it or not they needed each other in this fight. The forest cats might not be killers but they were structured and organized. If they formed up more would die on both sides. Deathbringer loved death but his clan-mates. . if you could call them that, were Knife's fighters. He didn't want to loose any and risk displeasing his lord.
~Evanesce~ A beautiful shape darted from a den on the far side of camp. Racing at top speed the Maliceclan she-apprentice skidded to a dusty stop next to Rainpaw. Blue-violet eyes beamed with malicious glee as she prodded the other apprentice with a speckled paw. "You ready Rainpaw?" Evanesce asked. Her brilliant white and gold claws glittered as she ripped up clods of dirt and yellow grass. Her ears flattened as she bared her white fangs in anticipation. She looked for their parents and spotted each of them not far away. "Will you fight with me sister?" A note of anxiaty crept into the growing she-cats voice and her eyes went wide with cold fear for a instant. She violently pushed it away and smiled widely. Raising one paw to her father she felt her tail lash on it's own. This battle and the ones to come would make or break the two-sisters and Evanesce was going to charge head first into her future or fall head-long into her doom.
~Frozengale~ So easily tossed away from the council gathering like garbage Frozengale retreated to a safe distance and curled his tail around his paws. His ears panned and he flopped over on his side then got up and trotted across the camp. Ducking into his 'den' he dragged out his food and gulped it down. ~Viodsky~ Not Done [/center]

Eclipseomen turned her head away as she caught Anubis staring in her direction. Black fur hid the blood she felt rushing to her cheeks as she shuddered. Her legs felt weak, like she had no one to hold her up anymore now that her brother was gone from her side. She looked as the family at one end of the camp, then at Anubis of the other. Her belly churned as she caught him looking again and her head snapped up in the other direction. How could she handle this? She watched the family together, trying to forget the feeling that she was being watched, then in slowly began to fade. She peered out the corner of her eye at him, to double check, and he was now standing with Shard, her gaze burned into the back of Shard's head before he turned around, he nodded, she could see him sigh from here. He understood. She turned away again before any cat could cats them sharing silent thoughts with each other.
Spectre felt her muscles tense under her pelt at her fathers words. Her first real battle, well it was going to happen sometime, better sooner than later. She felt herself relax as her mother spoke to her, she felt safe now, two protective parents watching over her. She knew that they would be fighting the older cats, yet she knew that they would not let anything happen to her. This did not make her feel soft though, if her parents had their job, she had hers, and she would not get in the way of her parents. She would fight like she had been taught, she would not get into difficulty and she would rip those stupid clan cats apart, like she had been told. She felt more independant, felt it easier to stand on her own four legs now.
Shard's head whipped up as Anubis came to stand beside him. He wanted to lash his tail, start a battle now, sink his fangs into....He felt someone watching him, looking round he sighed. He was glad of the reminder, he did his best to calm himself down, to relax apart from a small irritated flicking of his tail. He turned away from Eclipseomen again and looked at Anubis. How could she be in love with him? "We will be attacking the leaders, deputys, and healers." He meowed smoothly.
Phantomcry touched his daughters ear gently with his tail. He was glad when Scarletsnow joined them, and Rainpaw, Evanesce. His gaze swept over his daughters. "You will all fight well." He meowed. Catching Evanesce's raised paw he met it with his own, and pushed, to flip the smaller cat over lightly. With a light chuckle he took a step forward to meet Scarletsnow and drew his tongue over her bloodstained white face with affection.
Dreadwish stood up and walked over to join his kin. He rolled his eyes at his brother and flopped down on his side beside their kits. "Don't worry, aparently they don't put up much of a fight, the leaders and deputys are all we have to really worry about, but Anubis, Shard and some of the other big warriors will take care of them." He meowed. "And some of the warriors will be fighting with you too." He added. Really he pretty much knew everything was going to be ok.

Scarletsnow blinked, then leaned into her mate for a moment, rapidly sucking in his scent, warm tougue on her face..wait! She drew back and stared down the other two had arrived, Rainpaw and Evanesce. Where was Asphyxia and Basilpaw? She brushed the thought away, they'd be missing an important battle, therefor they'd be penalized for endangerment of the clan. She screwed her eyes shut and wished them luck, but her thoughts wandered suddenly. What if one of my kits gets killing? I couldn't survive! Then her other side snarled Oh grow up you maternal sissy, It said They aren't your 'kits' anymore, they are apprentices, they can fight for themselves, and if one of the sniveling cats dies, well, then it didn't deserve to live. Isn't that your philosophy? She brushed all thoughts away, knwing the darker ones were right. No grieving. Ever. Unless, of course, Phantomcry dies. Malice Cats are alowed to grieve for mates because they have shared a part of themselves with the other. She sighed, and gazed at Phantomcry, "Please don't die.." She murmured in his ear.
Firehalo, proud and idiotic as always, puffed out his already puffed, furry chest, face smug and obnoxious. A mask anyone would tear off on reflex. Elevating his toes, straightening his spine, he appeared almost taller than Deathbringer. "I'm the strongest one here, I ought to lead this scuff!" He meowed as loudly as he could. It was almost an instinct to be retarded.
Knife chuckled at Firehalo's outburst, softly, then it grew, and grew, until it sounded almost maniacal-loud, but not quite. "Oh dear Deathbringer," He attempted to calm his amusement. "Do not bother with this one. I have a strange sense this 'un will be too caught up in battle to predict murder." At this time, he flashed his head around, caught Scarletsnow's gaze, then padded off to Frozensoul in an instant. Too quick for anyone but Scarletsnow to catch.
The large white kitten had been tumbling around before the meeting began, occasionally stopping to sit, point, and laugh at the scuffle and fighting, idiots, she inwardly purred, flicking her jet tail to and fro cheerfully. Oh how she loved MaliceClan. But then, he spoke, her father talked, loudly at that. A battle, no, no, a war. Oh Hell. Bonekit now, seemed to be unhappily snarling at anyone who dared pass her, and useing her small claws well, lashing out as several random poor beings, dealing a few nettle-like cuts, and, of course, the poison were the colorful cusses unleashed with the blood, then she'd bound away again, looking for someone else to torture and surprise with the flood of obscenities pouring between her long sharp teeth, bared in a snarl. Oh jee, you're just a little wimpy kitten! You can't fight stupid! GRAAARG. I could if you made me a f------ apprentice dumb-f---! She pretended to hiss at Knife, then chuckled softly. Unecissarily swearing was undeniable fun, she picked up new curse anywhere she went, hopefully she'd find a few at the Gathering.
Vividmurder was silent, which was unusual, because on a regular basis, he would be obnoxiously boasting, like Firehalo-the-dimwit, but Vividmurder was not stupid like the other blasted tom. Lovely, now some random MaliceClan cat would come up an kill him! Vividmurder knew this would happen, and, in the eyes of Deathbringer, he dare not be his normal arrogent self, for the other tom could easily step on him, therefor burying him in the ground with a single blow. The black and white tom really did believe it could happen, which was why his lips were sealed.
The lean warrior had been half-asleep while listening to Knife. He did not perk at the word 'war' like so many of his other clanmates did. It was hard to do so when you've already heard it, therefor do not need to prick your ears. Blue eyes glinted steely gray green as he scornfully drew his tougue over his pale scarlet pelt, feeling the crustiness of dried blood, tasting its tanginess too. "Stupid Scarletsnow and Frozengale. Haha. I ought to watch it Frozengale, the witch has got herself a family, Phantomcry will blow you apart if he finds out you're flirting with her." He meowed aloud, chuckling maniacally.

"Then we shall mate." He glanced over his shoulder to check to see if he was needed, he wasn't. After this he would definately have to focus more on the battle plans, and staying alive. "Come, this way, precious Petal." Thunderthighs led her into a random den, but he didn't care, for all he knew there could be kits in here and he wouldn't notice. He was going to be a dad.

He listen to Deathbringer's words. With a glance at Shard, he made his decision. "Partners for tonight?" he asked his love's brother. With a glance back to Eclipseomen, showing how sorry he was that they couldn't be partners in his eyes, he waited for Shard's answer. It would be good to fight alongside him.

Phantomcry looked up a little confused, and stopped grooming Scarletsnow's face. "You think I would let some lame clan cat lay a defenceless claw on me." he meowed brushing the comment off, acting as though he was not worried. Though when he met her gaze he melted inside. "After I make sure you aren't dying." He meowed softly. He touched his nose to her eat, and stood for a moment, taking in her scent. "We should get you cleaned up first, in case the clan cats think you will be a weak target." he meowed. Lifting a paw he rested it on her shoulder and pushed lightly.
Shard looked to Anubis again. It took him a second longer to answer than it should have, he was weighing his options, but he could not betray his sister. "Don't let me down tom." He said with menace and teasing in his tone. His eyes glittered as me met Anubis's gaze, and hoped that he was putting on a good enough act to fool even the smartest of cats. He was always good at charming others.

The she-cat slipped through the crowd easily. Her tail streamed out behind her. The toms would be everywhere, trying to get near her, if, of course, they were that lucky.
Battles didn't excite her much. Only toms did. The more, the better. She passed Shard and Anubis, her tail curling around Shard's muzzle for a quick second, then she padded off, further into the crowd of cats.
a n u b i s
He nodded to Shard as Splitheart came past them. Her sweet scent was sickening, making Anubis' stomach curl. The way she curled her tail around Shard's muzzle. Ugh. At least Eclipseomen wasn't that desperate for attention. The second Splitheart was out of earshot Anubis spoke up. "Someone demands attention from everyone." he sneered, almost laughing at the silly she-cat.
s p l i t h e a r t
She continued her short journey with a stop by Vividmurder. She sat down next to him. Her tail flicked back and forth in front of his face. "Hi Vividmurder." she meowed seductively.

Scarletsnow sighed, she hated being fussed over, especially if she was only going to get more blood on her, cleaning would do nothing. "Oh yes, like blood all over my fur makes me look 'weak'" She mewed, a soft sneer to her pretty voice. "Yeah right." She grinned. "Let them, then." Her smile was cold and cruel, but she did not meet his eyes. It was hard for her to do that type of thing, it just made her feel so... soft, gooey, fluffy, maiden-like, disgusting. But when her mate's paw connected to her body, she almost toppled over. MaliceClan cats rarely made contact unless it was fighting. Of course she and Phantomcry had made contact and touched before, many times, but it fought against what she knew, and never ceased to surprise her. So she glared. It's very difficult to glare at the tom you feel so strongly for. So Scarletsnow softened her gaze and looked down, hoping he knew she wouldn't fight it if he insisted on grooming. --- The massive creature's gaze shifted uneasily to she she-cat, who quite clearly wanted a piece of Vividmurder. He met her eyes and sharpened his glare, but he had to admit, she was really quite pretty, but she didn't want him. He didn't want her, he refused. Of course, a full grown tom couldn't really fight the thought of mating. I mean honestly. But then, Vividmurder knew he'd hurt the poor thing if they ever mated. He was so big and she was just so dainty. Dark, narrowed eyes blinked. "How may I help you Splitheart?" He meowed gruffly, though his voice was smooth and silky.

Frozensoul padded over to Knife, dipping her head to the Alpha as she reached him. "When do we attack?" she asked simply, in a quiet, low voice. She felt proud that she was going to be fighting alongside such good fighters as the alpha himself. She wasn't sure if they had enough warriors yet to lead the attack, but even the MaliceClan kits could take down cats twice their size. This thought made her narrow her eyes with pride at her Clan.
Dyingblossom slipped past her Clanmates and brushed up against Knife's side, purring seductively. She knew he was probably busy, but she couldn't resist. After all, they had been interrupted earlier, and she wanted to finish what they had started. perhaps after the battle was a better time though. She drew her tail along his flank slowly, still purring.
Slash reared up on two legs, reaching as high up the tree as he could. It was just an old bit of trunk, perfect for sharpening claws. His paws itched to fight, and all he could do for now was scratch out deep grooves in the bark. He grinned with satisfaction as he felt his powerful claws tear through it as though it was fur.

"Oh, nothing." she replied, already beginning to stand up, getting ready to walk away, seeing if he would stop her. She smirked in a way that made it look like a small smile.

Knife, large eyes glowing contently at the warriors sharpening their claws, practicing on each other, and filling up before the big fight, turned slowly, realizing Frozensoul was speaking. "Hm?" He asked absently, but before she could speak again, he pointed with a single pearly claw. "See that tree?" He asked, "When the full moon washes the very top, we will move in, so prepare now, for we leave for the glacier soon." He dismissed her curtly, and turned to gaze, smilingly, at Dyingblossom, chuckling. "You're persistant." He grinned, nodding to a small hollowed cliff, the smile on his face was almost hidden in the dark, though the rising moon lit his delicious eyes. --We shouldn't roleplay them any further than that. xDD -gross- -- Vividmurder, back fur rising slowly, aggrivated, snarled loudly. "Oh you just think you're so cute and seductive, hm she-witch?" He snarled. "Oh I'd break you anyway, so just skip on off, giggling, little doll!" He hissed, lashing out to claw her tail before she left. Still in a huff, the black and white tom padded over to join Shard and Anubis as they waited for the order to move in, looking at them, he growled softly. "I'd like to kill her." He meowed.

Shard stared after Splitheart, entranced by her beauty, before he was brought crashing back down to earth by Aunbis's voice and he shook himself rapidly. He glared at her back, but he could not bring himself to do so meaningfully. He groaned at himself. "Tell me about it." He muttered sulkily. Stupid she-cats. His tail flicked, it was becoming easier to talk with the other tom, but absently in the back of his mind he was curious, what the hell had really gone down between him and his sensitive sister? He opened his maw so say something, but then quickly snapped it shut again, in case she was watching his every move. He valued his life too much to mess with his sister and her 'private life' like that. Even if she had let him in on it, well a little of it. He said nothing, and tried to forget all about it, but that was easier said than done.
Phantomcry chuckled and nodded. "They wont know what has hit them once they meet your claws." He meowed, trying to redeem himself from his foolish comment. Flattery noramlly worked. "You obviously went easy on the foolish idiot who dared attack you." he added with a chuckle. He drew his tongue over her ear when her head was lowered. It was easy to tell what was really on her mind. He stopped himself from purring in front of his whole clan, not the best idea considering their current conditions, but did he know if all of his kin would make it through this? He shuddered as he took in the faces of his kin, his brother lying down, oh so scarcastic with a bored act playing before him. He sighed. His brother did just not care. He stood closer to Scarletsnow, they were both far to clever, for this to be their last battle.
