DELiRiUM [DiSTURB iF YOU DARE]

[MiNTY♥]

Torchblade tossed his head back in a chuckle and turned over his shoulder to look at the she-cat. "Honestly, you really think I care what you think?" He hissed to her rolling his eyes. he had to keep reminding himself it was all a game,that she knew he did not mean any of it. "I gave up on you a long time ago, so why are you still nagging me?" He snarled turning to face her and tensing his muscles, but as if she wasn't worth it he relaxed and turned back around padding onwards, yet he could still sense her presence. He wanted to run to her and they could curl up together and forget about everything and sleep, but it was not as simple as that, would they have to go out of this area to be together normally? "Shard I am going hunting, if I don't come back feel free to hunt me down." He meowed in the direction of Shard and padded away into the tree's. He felt sick, he forgot to stop walking and ended up going further than he wanted. It was too late though when he saw the territory of the clans before him. It was all too much for him. He did not want to hunt, he did not know where to go. Turning his back on the clans he began to wander, winding and twisting through the trees. In the back of his mind he wondered if his sister was down there. He flopped down in the shade hoping his love would come his way.

Phantomcry chuckled. "What don't you see in me sweetie?" He teased with a sneaky grin playing upon his maw. "That would be a better question if you ask me." He added. He circled his mate for a moment wondering what she would decide upon. She could often manage to surprise him, it was what she did. "Later and I wont forget it!" He confirmed with another chuckle, but soon he would not be chuckling, he would be letting his claws out for a little party. "With claws like these who needs to listen to anyone?" He added with a care free snort. "Ah, how about we see how the mothers with missing kits are doing, eh?" He added with a small smirk. He was sure another visit from Delirium would put the clan on total alert. Yet, what Phantomcry did not know was that one clan had joined already, and soon they would have little to no chance. "Zephyrclan m'dear." He growled darkly and began to pad off towards the clans.

Phantomcry to Zephyr.

Shard rolled his eyes at the two cats. What a shame, the past had caught up with them and now they hated each other? Did he care? No. Yet, he could make life a little more interesting for them. He chuckled to himself at his idea and gently kicked his sister off him. He honeslty didn't know why he liked that she-cat sometimes, maybe because she was the only friend he had sometimes? All his old friends were dead, gone, never to be seen again. A weary sigh left his paw as he padded out into the sun, well what was left of it. He looked around him with dull emotionless eyes. Building a gang to be strong was not what one would call easy, or a fast process. He blinked a couple of times, it was quite empty, apparently a lot of cats were not in camp. He should not be either. He should be stretching his muscles, making them stronger and bigger. He watched Phantomcry come back into the clearing, the toms acknowledged each other, Scarletsnow was probably not far behind. Phantomcry seemed to keep an eye on his movements which he did not like. If he had something to tell him he could come and do so.

[MiNTY♥]

She dared alright. She dared interrupt this murderous gang of cats. She was going to get those kits back, and she already had it all planned out. She saw the strong muscular pelts of cats. She wondered which were her siblings. Then she saw the she-cat her mother had described, it must have been Shatter. It had to be. That was not why she was here. When her mother heard her description from the queen that had the kits, everything would come back and smack her in the face. Her tail lashed. It was not hard for her to remember the she-cats name, Persephone. She padded round a bit so she would approach the she-cat from the front. Would any cat notice? She padded over, with friendly enough body language. "Hello Persephone, how are you?" She meowed. She stood a little bit away, she did not want the queen to find her a threat. "It has been a long time, losing the gang after that battle, being held prisoner, I got away in the end and found my way back, either way, I am back." She meowed. She could go as far as saying she was one of the most friendly Delirium cats to ever be born. She knew Larkstar would be watching her. "Shard would like to see the clan kits, to check if they are worth keeping - or not." She meowed, she gulped before adding another two words darkly. Persephone would know what she meant when she said that.

[raid]

Persephone didn't know the cat at first. What was her name....she wasn't sure. But she looked familiar. Ah yes she was Phantomcry and Scarletsnow's daughter. That's how she knew her. But she had disappeared yes? Yes. The Queen looked at her, her gaze bold and threatening though she would not lash out, not yet at least. And then the reasoning....good enough. She would send one of her kits to keep an eye on her anyways. Cacophony would know if the dumb she-cat was doing anything wrong. And she was going to Shard...nothing wrong with that was there...sighing she pushed forward the three kits. "Nyxkit, Vexkit, Shriekkit. I'm sure he'll find them suitable. " Her eyes locked onto her actual daughter. "Cacophony why don't you accompany her. " The tabby mother sighed softly turning away and heading back towards the small den of a nursery.

--

"Yes mother." The little she-cat murmured softly making her way towards Spectrelight. She didn't fit in. She was lanky and not even close to the muscular build of the other cats in her clan. How she fit in she wasn't sure. But looking at Nyxkit she realized she was the same slender frame. Though Nyxkit seemed to hold a higher stature. Nyxkit seemed to keep her head high and was beautiful. Not like herself. Cacophony sighed slightly growling as she found Nyxkit pushing into her and the sickly sweet voice poured from her mouth. "Why are you even coming? Shard would never like to see you." Smiling a cruel smile Nyxkit, Moonkit, whatever she was to be called looked at Spectrelight. Her eyes sparkled lightly and she waited.

[MiNTY♥]

Sepctrelight dipped her head low to the queen. "Thank you Persephone." She meowed sweetly. Gathering the three kits she felt like yowling with joy, but she was not out of danger yet, and there was the matter of the other kit. She could get going before the other kit would do any harm to corrupt her journey. She knew it would be a difficult journey for the kits. She would have to hunt for them, and bring them water, and probably let them sleep on her back. She would do it for them though. Zephyrclan too of course. She would not let any of these kits die and she swore by it. She looked around, nothing that would get in her way so far. The queen has gone back into the nursery after all. She padded in the direction of Shard's cave, at the last moment she grabbed the kits, putting Rushingkit and Pepperkit on her back, and grabbing Moonkit by the scruff. She started to run, she was a very smooth and stealthy runner. Nothing would easily get in the way. She was already emerging into the dark forest after all. She paused for a moment to put the kits in front of her and explain. "Remember me, Spectrelight? I am taking you home, you wont have to live there anymore, you have to tell me if you get hungry or thirsty or tried though on the journey, promsie?" She asked them, but then she heard something coming, and the she-cat panicked.

[raid]

Moonkit sighed softly as she padded alongside to head to Shard's den but then she was in the jaws of the she-cat. Being set down she glared at her hissing softly. But then heard the words she spoke. She didn't know the she-cat by her looks. The name seemed to ring a bell, perhaps her mother had said it before. But she wouldn't go without a protest. "THAT WAS MY HOME! YOU TOOK ME AWAY FROM MY MOTHER!" Moonkit growled lightly her eyes beginning to burn with hate.

--

Cacophony watched the she-cat run off and stood bewildered for a moment before following into the brush. She knew she was going where she shouldn't but she didn't want to stay where she was. She was six moons. She was older than the other three. They had been brought to her mother, she remembered that...she even remembered their old names. The discussing of their new ones had been done. "Moonkit...that's your name. You're not Nyxkit. This cat is right. Delirium wasn't your home...and it's not mine either."

[MiNTY♥]

Spectrelight was tense, ready to attack, but she saw it was only the queen's other kit. She looked old enough to be an apprentice already! She was about to say something defensive, but the she-cat appeared to be on her side. "Yes Moonkit, your mother is Shiverleaf, and your father is Dewstream, as are your parents Rushingkit - Pepperkit, your mother is Ivywhisper, and your father is Crypticstreak. You look just like your mother." She told the kits kindly. She turned round to look at the other she-cat. "Who are you?" She asked softly. "I am guessing you have not come along to attack me, so why are you coming with me? I only want to bring these kits back to Zephyrclan, our home." She explained.

[raid]

Moonkit looked over at Rushingkit questioningly. He was her actual brother? Really. The kit looked at Cacophony and at Spectrelight she would keep quiet for now.

--

Cacophony laughed lightly, smiling. "If I were to attack you I would of done it earlier. Sneaking around the brush instead of bursting right through it. Not that it would matter because I'm guessing you're around 16 moons or so and you're highly able to take on a meager six moon old kit like myself. Not that I have much to attack you with in the first place. I prefer thinking things through and talking them out as you can probably tell." The she-cat smiled with a quirkiness one wouldn't be able to understand unless they were in her head. "As for who names I have gone by Cacophony. I imagine I will no longer once we reach your home. I wish to no longer be a part of Delirium I do not fit in there." She mewed looking at the ground quickly.

[MiNTY♥]

Spectrelight kept an eye on the kits, to make sure none of them did a runner. "So you wish to return to my home? I know how you feel, I was once in your position, but we don't have much time, someone may notice, will you help me make sure they stay healthy? We have to be quick on our paws, but we can stop to hunt for them, and to get them water and for us to rest too, we will get tired carrying them, once they are far enough away we can let them walk a little, but I would never forgive myself if one of them was to die. You will be stronger than most cats your age right, after all you are from delirium, sorry if I am rambling, but we had better go, we can talk as we walk, tell me if you get tired or hurt of course." She meowed hastily. She picked up Pepperkit and placed the kit on Cacophony's back, before putting the other two upon her own. "Spectrelight is my name, incase you did not know that." she meowed, and so they started their journey back.

[LYNX ♥]

The brilliant tangy amora of blood filled his nostrils as he twitched in his peaceful sleep. Before him stretched an endless land of death and betrayal. Betrayal? No, that was not suited for such a pleasant dream, though it rang in his bones strong as ever. How odd. Ignoring this, the young tom sank curved ivory claws into whatever was closest to him in the waking world; the soil beneath him. That was suit as flesh well enough, and as a dark smile engraved itself in his handsome face Drige dragged his knives along slowly, hearing the sweet screams around him, beneath him, before him, as all the cats cried out at their loss, the mighty Dirge strikes again! He was going to take over the clans, and look at them cower in fear! Letting out a long, booming cackle the massive, full-grown extravigantly muscular dark brown tabby stood atop a massive pile of victems, their screams still rining in his ears while servants bowed before him, beautiful, slender she-cats with frosty white coats and shining golden eyes stroked his scarred-body. Though in the waking world, he unconsciously was giving off mild squeaks and purrs, the mightiest of them all was having himself a jolly time in his blood-reign and kingdom of murder and beauty. He's snag himself one of those pretty she-cats one day, lead his bloodline on, and teach all those kits his amazing ways! "Damnit!" The kit mumbled softly as a leaf drifted down from the heavens and landed on his nose, ripping him away from his pleasant wonderful. "Damnit." Dirge repeated, finally fluttering open round eyes the color of a mud-stained moon. Soon they'd completely turn to their true color, a royal sienna. Heaving a silent sigh, he glanced over at his mother, twitching one whiskerpad into a soundless, distasteful snarl. No, they certainly coulnd't tease him as a momma's boy. Stalking off through the underground, the small tabby scented his siblings, and nother odor, unfamiliar and sickly-sweet. Stifling a sneeze, he buried his white-tipped muzzle into one of his shoulders to hide a grunt. Dirge moved on, entering a stalk-mode as he crept through the forest, finally spying his sisster and the three, ugly little things his mother adopted. "Blegh. Keep those things but what the hell do you think you're doing with Cac?" He snarled, swiveling his ears back warningly.

[MiNTY♥]

Spectrelight had just begun to relax, when she heard a grumpy tone from just behind her. She cussed herself then turned slowly to look at the cat who had spoken, as she had two sleeping kits on her back. "Sorry, but your sister wanted to come, as you see I am not dragging her by her ears nor battering her into coming, she is helping me of her own free will, so do not ask me what I am doing with your kin young tom." She meowed with a flick of her tail. It was obvious he was just concerned for his kin. What if her mother had caught her trying to leave, would it have been just like this?

[[ Quick post before Proboards goes haywire again... ]]

Rushingkit looked up at the she-cat who had taken them away from their mother, but... she wasn't? He was so confused but he was trying to understand what had happened, him, Nyxkit and Shreikkit weren't Delerium cats? They were from a place called ZephryClan. So Dirge, Paroxysm, Cacophany and... Pepperkit weren't his siblings. But Pepperkit was from his clan and Moonkit really was his sister. This was so hard to get his head around! All he could really do was hold onto the she-cats back. He would try and understand when they got to that place, Zephyrclan.

[raid]

Cacophony looked at Dirge. Then her gaze was cast up towards Spectrelight. "Dirge stay here. You don't have to go and she's not making me. I'm going on my own will. I won't survive here. We all know that." She looked at Dirge once more with her amber eyes. "Spectrelight can we hurry up and go?" With Pepperkit on her back she took off into the brush. She didn't know where she was going but Spectrelight would be with her shortly she knew that. At least she hoped.

---

Moonkit looked at her brother from Spectrelight's back. She wasn't too sure about this whole new home thing. But...then again it was her real home to begin with.

[MiNTY♥]

Spectrelight watched the tom with narrowed eyes, before taking off after Cacophony, and doing her best not to drop one of the kits. "Hey wait up." She meowed and she looked at the she-cat. "I was just like you once before you know, my parents, they are Phantomcry and Scarletsnow, you probably would not have thought that though." She meowed gently. "When I was an apprentice I killed another, and I didn't like it, the truth was he did not even try to fight back, then Larkstar offered me a place in her clan, so I went, and now shes gone...I don't really have anyone and I miss my family, but I spoke to my ma, she came and killed my clan deputy, and she did not want anything to do with me." She explained. She wasn't trying to make Cacophony feel sorry for her or anything. She understood what had happened and why all of it happened. The only thing she did not fully understand was why Eclipseomen wanted to kill Larkstar. Her muscles tensed. She should have gotten that she-cat. It was not like she had a chance though, and so she padded on. "All I am saying is think properly about this, just in case you end up like me, I had to come all the way out here to make myself feel useful!" She meowed. She hoped that what she was saying would have some impact on the younger she-cat.
