Every cat thought Maliceclan was gone, well they were gone, however Delirium was here, and would remain here as long as he, Shard, lived. His eyes widened slightly with approval, as he stepped out of the sun, and into the darkness of the large cave, their new home. The darker a place was, the better. A lot of light was distracting, and enabled the mind to be happy. Happy?. No cat was allowed to be happy as long as he was around. After a moment or two of basking in the silence that surrounded, he flicked his tail and he was no longer alone. The cats that had stayed with him, whom had made a wise choice, had now joined him, plus there feisty little prisoner. "Go collect something to sleep on, unless you want to wake up stiff." he told his sister, however she seemed to look slightly confused. "Or go and collect some white fluffy cotton from the farmers fields and toss it around the cave in a playful manner." he mocked in a light she-cat like voice. As she stormed off he snorted and began to explore. He stopped by the rocks to make sure nothing had been here in a while. Finding a hold for his paw he pulled himself up the side of the cave easily, and came to a small ledge. Circling it a few times he decided it was big enough for him to sleep. He sat down briefly watching the cats moving around below him. It was perfect he could see everything, he held his head high and climbed slowly back down. He narrowed his eyes at the prisoner, who was wobbling around unsteady on her tiny paws. Quickly flashing a paw out he chuckled as she fell to her side. What to do with a pretty little thing like her?
Eclipseomen snarled at her brother. How big headed he had become, however she was still his partner, or almost. She would be if he wasn't so happy about being in charge for once, having cats do as he wished all the time. She rolled her eyes. However, cotton did sound nice to sleep on, stealing would only be half the fun of it. She looked both ways before padding out of the large cave, instead of heading towards the fields she did a bit of climbing. After running for a short while Tempestclan scent entered her scent glands. A low snarl rose in her throat as their scent was blown towards her, turning, she disappeared to do her job.
Serenewinter yowled as she felt her paws being knocked away from underneath her. Jumping up onto her paws again she wobbled a little. Her head still ached strongly from the blow from the stupid she-cat, even though it had been a long time since that happened. Long enough for her to have traveled to a new home, with what Shard now called Delirium. She snarled at the tom. She just wanted to go home. Her calm was escaping her. She didn't even smell like a cat of Vertigoclan anymore. She took a deep breath and tried her best to remain calm. The ground was swaying from her very recent blow to the head and her eyes narrowed.

Frozensoul wondered, not for the first time since the battle, if she had made the right choice joining Delirium. It wasn't that the hate had left her, but she just didn't see the point in being part of a group. There were rules to follow, duties to do every day. But she had nowhere else to go, and she certainly didn't want to face Shard. So staying here was probably the best option for the moment. Deciding to make herself useful anyway, she made her way over to Shard. "Is there anything I can do to help?" she asked, her voice emotionless. Emotionless, because really, she wasn't feeling anything. She had felt like this for a long time now. Like there was nothing for her to live for.

The healer walked up to Shard, carrying some comfrey in his jaws. He knew he would need it, and its ability to sooth wounds and mend any broken bones. He dropped it at his feet so he could talk to shard. His pale blue eyes looked directly at Shard as he began to speak with Shard. "I am ready for any cats with ailments, though I'll need to collect some more remedies, so only send me your warriors that are actually worth anything as of now. I'll let you know when the not as valuable ones can be helped." Then, he waited a short while, letting Shard tell him anything he may need to know before he set off for his den. At a hypnotizing cadence, the white tom padded towards his spacious cave den, not waisting his energy running. Soon enough he would be inside his cold den, where he would look to the ledges in the rock and lay the fresh comfrey beside some horsetail, which would be needed for infected wounds. It wasn't that Soul needed anyone to help him, but a healer's life got busy directly after a battle. Not wanting to waste time though, he would set out for something Shard would desire: deathberries. In Delirium, killing was more like a game. Killing ensured your survival, so Soul would do his share, yet in a more subtle way. Also, he could let Shard pick out anyone who has a scratch that needs healing, that he doesn't think should live, and Soul would give the their 'medicine'. Killing was just part of an average Delirium cat's life. Soon he would leave their 'camp' and wander, searching for the red berries. |

Shard looked up as if surprised to see someone talking to him. "Not yet Frozensoul, but hang around, I might find something for you to do yet." He meowed. Seeing the healer he turned to face him. "Treat the oldest first, then the younger cats, then you can check my wounds are healing well if you wish to do so." He meowed, and fell into a light step with Soul. "Well you came at the right time Frozensoul looks like she could be of some use to you." He added and looked over his shoulder at her. He beaconed her forward with a flick of his tail. "If you want to help then go and fetch some herbs for Soul, he needs more." He told her, then left the two, watching Soul pad off he began to look over the cats in the camp, no cat looked too badly hurt any longer. His body was plastered with healing wounds for now, they only made him look more tough than he already was. His claws lightly tickled the stone under his paws. "If anyone thinks they can be useful you can go and help Eclipseomen get bedding, or Soul and Frozensoul get herbs." He yowled loudly.

He nodded to Shard, thanking him for offering some of his warriors to help him. Soul padded towards the entrance, ready to go collect some deathberries. Swiftly he flicked his tail to Frozensoul, calling her to his side at the entrance before they would set off together. He leaned over and whispered in her ear, "You are to fetch me some stinging nettle. Bring the whole plant back, except for the roots, I won't need those. If you don't know what they look like, they are plants with spiky green seeds." Then he would set off into the territory. He wouldn't let anyone know about deathberries except for his own apprentice, which he lacked.

Frozensoul nodded. She knew what stinging nettle looked like. She just didn't know what it was used for. Like she cared though - she certainly had never wanted to be a healer. She slipped out of the camp after Soul, but took a different path.
Frozensoul to terra.
((i know it's short >>))

stop that now
you're hurting me
Scurrying, as fast as her paws would, her belly wagging back and forth as her uneven gait carried her across this new foreign camp, another move for MaliceClan. Her vivid, fiery orange lights were dull with pain and agony, fear and cowardice. Her poor kits! Only Basilpaw left, the big gangly tom having his victory. If only Scarletsnow had hers. No, no, three of her offspring her dead. "Shard!" The furry off-white queen shrieked, her long blood-caked ivory claws raking and scoring the earth as she trod toward the 'new' alpha. "Let me go!" She snarled, wishing she was well enough to tear out his throat. But alas, she wasn't. He'd kill her. He'd kill her kits. He'd kill her mate. Phantomcry, help! "Shard, you.. creep! You'll hurt my kits if you keep treating me like this! You cannot drag me around and I won't let more of my children die, Monster!" She screamed, her long, sweeping tail lashed, hitting her flanks as the long fur upon her arched back stodd ruffled.

Shard looked around upon hearing his name being called. He waited calmly and flicked his tail dismissively to Serenewinter before turning to the queen, Scarletsnow. "You quite finished yet?" He asked casually. He smirked and let time drag on before speaking. "Its not my fault your kits betrayed you and ran to the clans, that was there decision, because they are wimps and this litter had better not be." He explained. "Though if you leave at this stage traveling will probably kill them, wonder why Phantomcry is not all for the idea of leaving, he knows that you could get hurt, and he knows that he can too." Shard meowed, bringing a paw up he unsheathed his claws. "Phantomcry wouldn't dare touch me." He chuckled lightly. "Anything else sweetheart?" He asked. He tilted his head to one side and smirked. His tail flicked patiently as he looked at her as if he didn't have a care in the world. "But please do leave if you want to hurt your mate and kill your kits." He insisted.

Time and time again we fall into the depths of who we are
But you cant keep running away from what youre tryning to find
Well I've seen you and those things you do
And the way you hide that shadow can't be good for you
Your dark defines your light"Oh you're just so adorable Shard, dearest, but I think I would know more about kits than you, Big boy." Her words held the venom of an angry adder, her tail still lashing. "They won't die, who says I have to go anywhere? Hm? If you've still got plans of traveling, then I may as well stay right here. Anywhere away from you, hell, you'd probably eat them, you're intelligence is overwhelming, Shard." She let out a softly hysterical chuckle, rumbling on until Scarletsnow had shakily controled her deep hatred for the big black tom, acting like he owned the world. He didn't, he wasn't even of blood, he'd corrupted MaliceClan to nothingness. Killed it, arrogent, cocky, and stupid. The worse combination of an alpha, next he'd ask for extra lives and call himself Shardstar. Ha! "Shard." She spat at his paws. "You. Do not know my kits. My kits would never run away. I saw Rainpaw's body. I smelled Evanesce's blood. Spectre is my reincarnation, she would never run like a coward!"

He was scared. Terrified, though that wouldn't help him now. He would never be able to make it back to his clan now. He was trapped. He could not find his way home, it would take him moons to get back to his clan-mates. How he longed for them, wished he was with them. But alas he was not. And Serenewinter was the same way. Curling his tail around his paws, Maskedpaw shrunk down, his lithe body seemingly even smaller than it should be. Staring at Serenewinter he heard the furious shrieks of a Queen and couldn't help but cringe. THis was not the best atmosphere for him. But...if he wanted to live he would have to try and stay alive, he would have to try and be defensive. Try and make them see him as something useful.
