Bloodlust shuddered. There was a chill in the breeze. Standing next to her was her "mother" Aki. Aki was a pretty gray stripped cat with blazing blue eyes. Bloodlust had fur that looked like fire. But she had a black ear. Her yellow eyes looked around her as she stared at Aki.

"Aki, how long do we have to wait?"

Aki hissed under her breath. "Be patient! Blaze said it might take a while!"

Bloodlust growled and layed down in the sand. A beetle crawled across the grass. Bloodlust growled and went after in with her paws. She grabbed it with her teeth and killed it. She dropped it on the ground. "Take that Beetle!" she looked up. "The real Beetle needs a real bite to the ear. After what he did…"

Aki put her paw on the beetle. "Don't wast it! Someone might want it!"

Bloodlust wailed and rolled onto her back. "I'm hungry Aki, I need to eat! There is not a thing to eat! Do bugs have blood Aki? Can I drink from it? I'm starving…"

"Shut up! I'm hungry too. But we just have to wait! Blaze and Beetle will be here in no time."

Bloodlust wailed again and rolled back on her belly. "Stop being such a crab! Your like a old cat you know. I really crabby old cat! One that bosses and pushes others around! Thinks she knows best. Blah blah blah's all the time. Keeps talking. A nasty old cat…."

"Shut up Bloodlust!"

Bloodlust growled and stood up again. Her eyes got wide and she sniffed the air. "Their coming!" she meowed.

Aki, unhappy not to be the first one to sence the presence, sat down and mewed, "About time!"

"Now who's impatient?" Bloodlust tauted.

Aki hissed and the fur on the back of her neck rose. At that moment, Blaze and Beetle walked out of the bushes.

"What's wrong Aki?" asked Beetle, noticing her iritated.

"It's the new one I created!"

"I told you new borns were hard to deal with." Mewed Beetle. He looked amused. "I could have told you that."

"Be quiet Beetle! You were not one that was easy to deal with when I created you!" said Blaze.

Beetle growled and sat down.

Bloodlust ran over to Blaze. "Can we hunt first? You don't know how hungry I actually am! Starving really. I feel like I have not eaten in days. So if you could be so kind, I would like to eat first….."



"Not yet, Bloodlust." Muttered Blaze.

Bloodlust whined. She then growled and sat back down. "Now, what is it that you want?"

"Well, we found out who is The One!"

There was a pause. Aki stared, growing excited. Bloodlust just looked confused. Beetle just sighed and walked up to Blaze. "Maybe we should have started differently."

"Perhaps you are right." Muttered Blaze. "They were not ready for this kind of news."

Aki and Bloodlust edged closer, ready for a story to be told.

That's when he started.
