[Blackfire]

In you and I there's a new land, / Angels in flight.

A black tom stalked noislessly through the FogClan territory. He was approaching the border that would lead him away from Warrior Valley, as well as his home. Sighing, the tom decided not to look back. He knew it would only make things much worse. He scented the air, and a familiar scent hit the roof of his mouth. Bloodfire. He thought, and soon saw the red tom padding toawrds him.
"Blackfire....I'm glad you're here." The tom meowed, brushing his muzzle over Blackfire's.
"It's good to see you, again, Bloodfire. I'm ready to go." he meowed, trying to keep his voice steady. Bloodfire nodded, then picked up a mouse he had caught before finding Blackfire.
"I suggest you eat. It's a long trek." he advised, and sat down, washing his paws.

My sanctuary. My sanctuary Yeah. / Where fears and lies melt away.

[skybird]

Icewhisper prowled through FogClan territory, following Blackfire's scent. She knew that he was leaving, she could tell. And even after he had promised her that she could come with!
Icewhisper was glad that she had stuck to her goal; to follow Blackfire wherever he went, just in case. And it looked like it was a good thing she had.
Icewhisper peered through a bush, and saw Blackfire talking with a red cat. Who was he?
Oh, that must be Bloodfire, Icewhisper thought.
Then she stepped out of the bushes.

[Blackfire]

Music inside. / What's left

Bloodfire's pelt flarred at the sight of the new-comer. His claws unsheathed, and his fangs were barred. Blackfire stood quickly, whipping around, preparing for the worst. When Blackfire laid eyes on the cat who had followed him, his legs went weak, and he felt dizzy. Why!! Why did she follow me!! He grooaned inwardly. He nudged Bloodfire's shoulder to tell him it was okay, and turned back to the white she-cat.
"Why are you here?!" He asked in a defeated tone.

of me. / What's left of me now.

[skybird]

Icewhisper's tail drooped. "You were planning to leave without me?" she meowed, her voice quavering. She couldn't believe that the cat she loved would try to leave her like that.

[Blackfire]

Blackfire glanced at the tom beside him, who was scooting away. Bloodfire didn't want any part of this.
"Icewhisper.....I don't want you to get hurt." Blackfire stated his arguement again, though he knew it was useless. No matter what he said, somehow Icewhisper was going to come.

[skybird]

"Don't you know me at all?" Icewhisper asked, although not challengingly. "I can take care of myself! I thought you knew that."
Icewhisper's heart was beating so hard, she was surprised that the two toms couldn't hear it.

[Blackfire]

Blackfire shook his head slowly. "I know. But...I don't know if I'll even come back....And i don't wanto risk your life as well." He meowed softly, his eyes downcast. Bloodfire watched the two intently, wondering if this was the she-cat Blackfire had told him so much about.

[skybird]

"Oh, Blackfire." Icewhisper sighed."I know that you don't want to risk my life, but I'm coming with you no matter what, and you know that you can't stop me."
Icewhisper padded up to Blackfire and pressed against him. She whispered in his ear, "I would follow you to the ends of the earth. You know that."

[Blackfire]

Blackfire's pelt pricked. "I know." he whispered back, and sighed in a final defeat. "Bloodfire, can we bring one more?" he asked, and flinched as the tom nodded. Blackfire stood up, and pushed the mouse towards Icewhisper. "You'll need to keep your strength up."

[skybird]

"Thank you, Blackfire. But I can catch my own." she meowed. But she bent her head and gulped down the mouse anyway.

[Blackfire]

Blackfire shook his head slowly. He saw Bloodfire shifting nervously from the corner of his eye, and signalled for him to come over. The red tom did, and was glancing from Blackfire to Icewhisper curiously. "So, is this the she-cat you've told me so much about?" he asked, his eyes glinting mischieviously. Blackfire felt his pelt grow hot in embarressment.

[skybird]

Icewhisper pricked her ears toward the two toms, who were talking. About her and Blackfire. She saw Blackfire's pelt prickle in embarrassment, and let out a small purr of amusement.
As she gulped down the rest of the mouse, she sniffed the air, searching for signs of prey.
Off to her left side, she heard a rustling in the bushes, and scented vole. She crept stealthily toward it, and when she was about two tail-lengths from it, she pounced, quickly killing the small creature with a swift bite to the neck.
Then she picked up her kill and brought it back over to Blackfire. "Here," she meowed, dropping it at the black tom's paws. "For you, since you let me have that mouse."
Then she turned to the red tom. "So...Bloodfire, is it? Blackfire's told me about you." she meowed, looking him over curiously.

[Blackfire]

Blackfire looked down at the vole, his mouth beginning to water. He bent down and dug into it, savoring the taste. He glanced up at the two cats occasionally, his mind flooded with thoughts of Icewhisper. He had finished the vole within a matter of minutes, and was now sitting upright, giving himself a good wash over.

Bloodfire's ears pricked at his name, and he turned to look at the white she-cat. He nodded slowly, listening to her. "I see. Well, I'm sure Blackfire has told me more about you than he has tol you about me." he meowed in an amused tone.

[skybird]

Icewhisper stared at the red tom curiously. "So you come from BoneClan right? And your leader is trying to destroy Warrior Valley?" she asked, shivering at the thought of such a bloodthirsty cat.

[Blackfire]

Bloodfire nodded solemly. "yes. He wishes to take the forest and all that surrounds it for himself." He sighed, trying to get the image of his 'leader' out of his head.
