Nightfire

A ginger pelt slipped through the undergrowth. Weaving through the sun-dappled forest, it was as if small fires were appearing and then vanishing just as quickly. His fluffy black tail contrasted greatly against his fiery coat. Nightfire's golden eyes scanned his surroundings. Scenting the air again, he flattened himself to the ground and crept forward, following the smell. He kept his tail a few mouselengths above the ground, to avoid scraping it across leaves and scaring his prey away. Ears pricked, the warrior paused briefly in his movements to catch any sounds. Leaves rustled, and he immediately swiveled to face the source.

He could glimpse a small brown-gray shape nestled in a cluster of tall ferns. His eyes narrowed. It was oblivious to the hunter's movements. Nightfire leaned downward, preparing to spring. He didn't move for a heartbeat, muscles tensed. He could feel the energy building from the contained power. Suddenly, he sprang forward, flying through the air. The ginger warrior extended his paws, and his claws slid out smoothly. With a muffled thump, he landed solidly on the mouse, killing it instantly as he crushed it under his weight. The smell of the mouse filled his nose, and he inhaled deeply, for a moment enjoying the small sense of victory.
"Ah," he breathed. Nightfire stepped off of the fresh-kill and picked it up in his jaws, resisting the urge to bite down and gulp it down. Satisfied, he padded away, carrying the mouse. It was only one, but the camp wasn't too far. Might as well drop it off now.

The small dainty she-cat slipped through the territory. She had a tom following her, at least she did as she had left camp. It was Corruptedlie. A handsome tom that she thought a fling might do some good with. Though she wasn't sure if he could be the right one to be seen as a permanent filler. But, if he wasn't...Silkenvine would be classified as the clan flirt....slut more to be exact. But what was she to do. There was never anything fun around camp. A few apprentices here and there, though Perilstar never seemed to give them to her. No. They were under the care of every cat but her. Hmmph. Maybe it was a sign of affection. No. Never from her dear leader. Besides she would look down upon that very thing. He had too much power, though maybe that was a good thing to keep in mind. Shaking the thought from her head, her swift, lean figure allowed her to keep a steady brisk pace. She only hoped Corruptedlie was somewhere within the boundaries of where she was. Hopefully she hadn't lost him...though a little game of hide and seek never did any harm. Laughing quietly to herself, she stopped, letting her comforting silky voice come from her maw. "Corruptedlie?"

so good you've got to abuse it
so fast that sometimes you lose it
it chews you up when you feed it
but everyone needs to eat
am i too much you you?
'cause your too much for me
still wanna be corrupted

The large grey tom kept a steady pace padding along behind Silkenvine who seemed to be in her own little world, so he let her be for now. He was most content padding along in trail, letting the silence surround him, but he was still able to feel at ease thanks to the company he had along with him. Feeling a little playful, when she turned to look for him he dodged behind the nearest rock, circling it he came out the other side with a small grin upon his maw and rested his tail upon her flank from behind. "Yes?" He asked innocently, cocking his head a little to the side. His eyes had a faint sort of glitter to them as if it proved he had been up to no good, but what else were Tempestclan cats good at? He smirked slightly catching her eye before turning away again. "We shouldn't keep the clan hungry for long, they can get rather cranky." He chuckled. He smiled over at Silkenvine wondering what was really on her mind. But what would be the point if you could know what others were thinking? He tried not to make it too obvious that he couldn't keep his eyes off her for very long by doing a quick once over now and then.

It was quiet..much much too quiet and frankly, Harmonydance didn't enjoy every second of the quiet even if she was generally shy. Because the quiet gave you time to think. Then your thoughts led you to unpleasant places you'd be much better without. Then those dang tears came back, littering the ground with small black dots. She hated crying. She hated being sad. But the fact was that Harmony had loved Twistersoul and he'd let her down. Maybe not on pupose..but still.

Then a flurry of grey fur speed past her blurred vision, and she had an attacker upon herself. Harmonydance, hissed, blinking away the tears quickly to look frigtening, "Now you'd better get off of me before...." Harmony trailed off, her jaw dropping into an O formation as she realized who it was. It was Twistersoul. "Twistersoul?" She couldn't say anything else, couldn't even think. Her heart had accelerated so much that it stopped and her breathing ceased as well. Their eyes were locked; nothing else existed but that yellow-eyed feline staring at her.

Silkenvine gasped lightly as the gray tom appeared beside her. Laughing lightly at his words she couldn't help but scoot closer to him letting her pelt brush his. Stopping in her tracks her eyes glittered with mischief. "Hmmm. I do think that in order for us to hunt both of us have to go. What if I want to make the clan wait? Perilstar wouldn't dare lay a paw on me....though i wonder if you would." Her voice was none the less than her gaze. It was playful and her words could only yield the meaning he wanted them to. For she knew what she meant though what he would take it as the she-cat did not know. However she was sure he would take her hint. Giving a soft laugh she flicked her tail from side to side waiting for his next move.

--------------------------------------------

Hearing her words, the familiar voice, the familiar scent. It all sank in. This was Harmonydance. She knew his name....so he was recognized. Especially by the she-cat he had hoped for. He couldn't believe this was the she-cat he had left some moons ago. The time had gone by quickly and how he had gotten away from Maliceclan he was not sure. But all that mattered was that he did. Was that he had not died and that he was now back where he belonged. Smirking lightly he couldn't help but let the tom she knew shine through.

"Well hello doll, long time no see." He held back the poison laced voice he had used for his time spent in the other clan. Now he used his sly smooth voice. The one that had charmed so many she-cat. The one that had caused many to fall before his charms. Of course the looks he had inherited from his father and mother helped. His bright yellow orbs gazed down at her. A smirk lightly upon his face.

Corruptedlie felt the corners of his maw turning up as he watched the beautiful she-cat within his grasp. He purred very faintly, as if he could help himself and chuckled lightly at her gasp. His move had only brought the two closer and for that he was grateful. Their fur brushed and his skin burned beneath his furry pelt. "Perilstar wouldn't dare." He purred in her ear. "But I might, it just depends which paw of mine you want." He chuckled lightly. His tail caressed her face softly as he purred. As far as he knew Perilstar was away sneaking off somewhere, possibly meeting with Starclan, but why on earth would he do that? Either way he wasn't important, for the moment. Silkenvine was important and she always would be. He was clearly happy to be close to her, there could be nothing he wanted more that he could come up with. He entwined their tails, not wanting to be away from her at all. For it seemed the space between them would be forever filled.

Harmonydance gazed at him, unmoving, not knowing what to say. Time had stood still. He had changed, physically, yes, but his personality? She couldn't tell it was too soon. But the playful look lingered somewhere in those sparkling yellow orbs. He wasn't the only one who changed though. Harmonydance was stronger and leaner, if possible, and she had become a bit more bold. Just a tad. Nothing to brag about but she wasn't completely afraid of talking to other felines. She had some spunk.

Then he spoke and Harmony knew he was still the old Twistersoul. She smirked, and suddenly realized that he was who she loved. But would he love her? Probably not but somehow she couldn't bring herself to feel heartbroken again. Live for the moment and be glad that he's here now. "I could say the same, what've you been up to these days, love?" Oh yes, two could play at this game these days, and she had to bite her pink tongue to keep from grinning.

He expected a snarky remark. That was what had come from harmonydance before he had gone away. Of course now though the words she spoke shocked him and he couldn't help but let the smirk that already was on his face grow even more. So she thought she could play his game huh? She thought she could be his partner in this dangerous tango he had set up. Well he was ready to put her to the test. Ready to figure out her boundaries and just how far he could push her till she broke. Snapped with the snarky attitude he longed for. What was a game of cat and mouse if the mouse suddenly morphed? His game was ruined and he would have to find another to play with.

"Ahhhh so I see time without me has done you good. Off taking up my spot as the clan seducer? " His eyes sparkled playfully as he gave a lick to her cheek. "Miss me that much doll and we may just have a problem." His voice was low. Predator like. He had to keep his role as the cat in this game. After all, he would never be the one running.
