Claws dug into the topsoil as a dark form moved silently around the graveyard fence in the middle of the night. Bloodclan had been the ‘weak’ clan lately with only two members to account for no one really cared to watch for them along the borders anymore. In fact, many new kits have never even heard of the clan. The clan had been forgotten and thrown to the side…..with the possibility of never rising again. No, they will rise they will…as soon as Illusion collects her thoughts!
Brilliant, fiery eyes burned through the utter blackness of midnight any creature paying attention would spot those soulless eyes and feel the sheer warmth from the fire burning within them. White and beige fur completed the look; the look of a ghost. Perfect for a cat wandering through the graveyard at midnight while the full moon stood against the icy winds of autumn. Beige ears pinned against a white head and a multi-colored tail lashed against the metal fence. If one dared to look at the creature, they’d certainly tell the cat was frustrated with something. Now, Illusion wasn’t the type to lose her temper much or easily for that matter but on those occasions no one wanted to be around. Fangs momentarily bared against an icy breeze then disappeared again.
Illusion paused from her nightly walk for a mere moment, to check over her shoulder. Whether the clan had one thousand members or merely two, the leader always double checked her surroundings. Seeing nothing but the darkness of night, she turned and continued again this time with no intention of stopping until she found herself in some unknown land or at least until she had thought of a way to take down the clans.

Memories embedded;;
Cold autumnal winds brushed Leafwhisper's gray pelt, rippling it like ice. Her bright breen eyes flickered warily. She knew she was not welcome here. The ThunderClanner had BloodClan blood...full BloodClan blood. But she had betrayed them long ago, left for the Good Clans. She'd only been a kit then, but now her parents, Tigerstar and Evira, were hated too. They'd been banished along with Tornear many moons ago. If Leafwhisper was caught here now, she'd probably be dead meat.
But she hadn't seen her brother in so long! Leafwhisper wondered if Mikkikko was alright. She missed him still, and couldn't even see him at gatherings. And so the ThunderClan she-cat slunk through the graveyard, her silvery pelt brushing against the cold gray tombstone.

Ears pricked at the slightest movement among the dead, it was obvious another cat had wandered here too. Silently veering off course, Illusion followed the other she-cat through the graveyard. A twisted grin crept across the leader's face when she realized who she was following; even new mind games entered the leader's head. This will make great practice.
Finding a oily puddle from the monsters, she slunk into the blackness disguising her pelt to nearly match Mikkikko's darker pelt. With that, she raced after the Thunderclanner but didn't stop as she ran full speed past her. Instead, she made a sharp turn at the end row of the gave. She'd lead the she-cat into the darkest part of the grave yard....make her believe Mikkikko was there, and then disappear....leaving her to the giant german shepard dog that lived in that part of the graveyard. It was all perfect...if the she-cat followed.

Curiously, Leafwhisper blinked at the cat who looked like Mikkikko. If she had had enough time, she would have known her brother well enough by scent and even look to know that this cat wasn't him. But 'Mikkikko' slipped away before she could get a good look.
"Mikkikko?" She called curiously, green eyes flickering warily as they eyed the shadows."Hey, wait!" And with that, Leafwhisper bounded off after 'him'.

The bengal striped pelt of a red tom was slipping through the misty shadows of the graveyard. He didn't know what he was doing here. He hardly ever knew the reasons he did what he did anymore. The only time he ever felt even meagerly aware of his actions were when he was around Massie. But even then he felt as through his life was spiraling out of control. What he couldn't seem to admit was that he was lost far from his path, and it seemed like no one was willing to help him find it again.
Suddenly, a new scent hit his cold nose. Or rather, one he hadn't detected for a long, long while. Lifting his head, he now seemed to have a new, if not only temperary, sense of purpose. Mikkikko sauntered around the graves of cats passed before him, following the scent until he could vaugley make-out the silohuetted figure in the distance. "Leafpaw?" he called out. He didn't realize at the moment where the figure was headed. He was just concerned with weither he was hallucinating or not. And if he wasn't, what was his baby sister doing here?

Leafwhisper paused for only a moment. She had thought she heard a voice calling out her former name, but then shook her head. It couldn't be Mikkikko...he was ahead of her. Hears pricked, the slender silver she-cat glanced around for only a moment. But through the shallow mist, it would be difficult to see anyone from a distance. Maybe it was just her imagination. This fog played tricks on cats, as well as being hard to see through.With that in mind, she reminded herself that she didn't want to lose track of "Mikkikko", and called out again."Come on, Mikkikko, wait up!" There was a slight tone of frustration now, and she bounded off again, quicker this time. Unknowingly being led to what could be her death... |

((YAY!!))
As Leafwhisper neared the corner of the grave rows, Illusion slunk into the shadows of a nearby willow tree. Her eyes narrowed so they barely even stood out in such light, and from there she waited..........waited for the Thunderclan she-cat to die.
---the doggy ish waiting until Leafy rounds that corner---

Leafwhisper bounded past numerous tombstones, and came to a hault at the corner. Panting, she looked around, but found no sign of her brother. Suddenly, the winds shifted and she scented dog. Strong, strong dog scent, masking everything else wafted toward her. A spasm of terror ran through the silver she-cat's body, and she froze. What if Mikkikko had been caught?! Eyes narrowed and claws clutched at the ground. If any dog had touched her brother...but no. No cat, not even two at a time, could take on a good sized dog. But maybe she could distract it while he ran.
Heart pumped wildly in her chest until she thought it was about to bust out. Slowly, Leafwhisper slunk toward the corner. And with one, swift movement, she rounded it. Silver fur was fluffed to make her look twice her size, and she let out a loud yowl in hopes of distracting the dog....
....Only to come face-to-face with the massive, slobbering beast. It was a huge tan-and-black dog with jowls and teeth like over-sized ivory thorns. And before Leafwhisper could even react, huge, snarling jaws had closed tightly around her. |

Mikkikko heard a yowl and saw a large dog appear out of the shadows toward the figure he assumed was his sister. He gasped and instantly bounded toward them as the dog closed his enormous jaws around Leafpaw. "NO!" he yowled and launched himself at the beast, not caring that he would never be able to take the giant by himself. |

Leafwhisper was barely aware of her brother's presense. Pain tore at her flanks, knashed at her bones, ripped at her throat. The scene was a mess, and the only thing Leafwhisper could feel was more pain than she had ever felt in her life. Struggling was only tearing at her pelt and skin more, and so before long the silver she-cat went limp. She wasn't even aware of how the dog dropped her and turned to snap at Mikkikko.
A small pool of blood formed around the silver queen, her eyes glazing. Leafwhisper's flanks heaved with effort, producing only shallow breaths that gurgled with each one. Flicking tail beat the ground as if fighting off some massive opponent, each flick becomming weaker and weaker. |

Mikkikko clawed at the dogs side as it came around to snap at him. But the dog seemed to not care anymore. He had killed the other one and was now bored with the weaklings he called cats. Snapping at Mikkikko one more time. He threw the cat off and slunk back into his foggy surroundings. Mikkikko was dazed for a moment. But when he shook it off, he didn't bother go after the dog. It would only provoke the beast into coming back. Insted, he rushed to his sister's side. "Leafpaw? Leafpaw are you okay?" What a stupid question, of course she's not okay you twit! the voice in his head told him. If you'd gotten to her in time, she wouldn't be lying here dieing! "AHHHHH!" he snarled at himself. "Leafpaw please get up! Please! Please, please..." His voice was fading, his throat felt dry and tight. He could barely rasp out anything else. OOC//OMG that so sucked. -sigh- Whatever.\\ |

Leafwhisper did not see or hear Mikkikko. If she did, she was in such a state that she did not recognize her brother, even if she sensed a cat nearby.
It was like they say. Leafwhisper's life flashed before her eyes. The familiar clearing where she was born. Evira and Tigerstar, such brutal rogues, now watched her with a softness the rest of the forest wouldn't believe.She was there, lively and spirited, tackling Mikkikko in the playful way she used to do.They'd trapse around having all sorts of adventures.And then a harsher memory, when she had watched Tigerstar, her own father, kill a cat. Her innocence had been robbed from her that day, and from that moment on, Leafkit had known she couldn't lead the life of a killer.She ran, farther than she had ever ran before. Leafkit soon stumbled across the ThunderClan camp, and there she joined to become a true Clan-cat. She remembered Aspenkit and Morningkit, her two first friends in the Clan. Leafpaw, they named her at six moons. And she had trained so hard with her mentor, and had become a great young warrior.She remembered the day of the warrior cerimony, the pride she had felt. And her new name: Leafwhisper.And then...falling in love. True love was the greatest experience Leafwhisper had ever felt. There were memories of a battle with BloodClan, but much greater was the one she fought inside of her that day as an apprentice. In the end, she could not fight her brother, and had ran to the River. She had hoped to throw away the pain, just....end all her troubles. But that hadn't worked. That wasn't the way.And then, the most recent memory came: kits. Her kits, and Destinystep's too. The whole clan had known of her pregnancy, but no one, not even her own mate, had known that the kits were born in the forest just a few hours earlier. Someone would find them. They had to. If I could relive my life, Leafwhisper thought vaguely.I wouldn't change a thing. Everything ended up being...okay. And this would be no different...right?
Each breath became more and more shallow, and finally her eyes unglazed. They were clear and cold, and fixed on some invisible creature before her."It's...cold...." The mew was hardly more than a whisper, and as if those words, in rhythm with her failing heartbeat, had taken the last bit of strength out of her, the silver she-cat's eyes closed. Her furry tail flicked one last time, blood staining her pelt and tainting the air a chilling, horrible scent. Leafwhisper was dead. OOC//Eh, it's okay, mine's horrible. Your's wasn't that bad anyway. |
