The Madness of Tigerstar

Tigerstar laid asleep inside a soft den that was made for him when he moved ShadowClan to RiverClan territory. Tigerstar lifted his head as Leopardstar, the RiverClan leader, padded in. She dipped her head.

"Finally awake I see," she meowed. Tigerstar stood and stretched him self. He padded near the entrance to the den and laid down again. He watched as two silver BloodClan, he knew as Storm and Blade, laid beside each other. Another silver cat, Storm's brother Eagle, padded up to them. Storm gave her swollen belly a quick lick. Tigerstar knew that she was expecting kits, that's why he aloud Blade and Storm to come with him into their territory. Eagle would come in once and a while and check on his sister.

Tigerstar suddenly remembered Goldenflower. He remembered how they used to laid beside each other like that when he was in ThunderClan. Tigerstar heaved a sigh, then he looked at Leopardstar who sat beside him.

"Leopardstar," he mowed. "why am I not loved?" Leopardstar looked at him with a bit of surprise.

"What?" she asked.

Tigerstar:

I am that rare and awesome thing I'm every inch a king Yet I feel a twinge of doubt As I go walk about

Blade:

Hey, boss!

Tigerstar:

When my name is whispered through the Clan. Is this talk of love or regicide?

Eagle:

Reggie who?

Tigerstar:

Tell me I'm adored Please tell me I'm adored

Blade:

Hey, boss!

Tigerstar:

Oh, what is it?

Blade:

We got a bone to pick with you

Eagle:

There's no food, no water--

Blade:

Yeah. It's dinnertime, and there ain't no stinkin' entrees!

Tigerstar:

You and your petty complaints! You don't know what real hunger is. Day after day it gnaws at the very core of my being

Blade:

I had that once. It was worms.

Tigerstar:

No, no, no... it's like an itch... deep, persistent, profound...

Blade:

That's it-- worms! When they get really bad all you gotta do is... hunker down and scoot.

Tigerstar:

Thanks for the tip. Ingrates! If it weren't for me you'd be beating off foxes for your next bite!

Blade and Eagle:

Yeah, you're our savior, thanks a bunch But how about some lunch? It doesn't matter if it's fresh. I need a fix of flesh. My bones have moved to where they've never been They are on the outside looking in.

Tigerstar:

Are you blaming me?

Blade and Eagle:

Oh no, it's the warriors. You are so adored. Oh, you are so adored

Tigerstar:

That's more like it.

Blade and Eagle:

But what I'd give for one more hit Of wildebeest kielbasa Or maybe rabbit on the spit...

Leopardstar:

Oh, how I miss Crookedstar

Tigerstar turned sharply and hissed at Leopardstar. How dared she mention that name in his presence!

Tigerstar:

Crookedstar?! Crookedstar?! How dare you! I told you never to mention that name!

Leopardstar flattened her ears and gave a slight nod. Though she did not like taking orders, she was a bit afraid of the powerful tom.

Leopardstar:

Note taken. I shall never mention "M-m-m" again

Tigerstar thrashed his tail back and forth.

Tigerstar:

Even in death, his shadow looms over me There he is! No! There he is! And there!

Leopardstar:

Calm yourself, Tigerstar, or you'll get another one of your splitting headaches!

Tigerstar:

I am perfectly fine! I'm better than Crookedstar was I'm revered I am reviled I'm idolized I am despised I'm keeping calm I'm going wild! I tell myself I'm fine Yes I am, no you're not Yes I am, no you're not I tell myself I'm fine. No you're not, yes I am, no you're not. Yes I am No you're not Yes, no, yes, no, who am I talking to...?

Leopardstar:

Oh, pull yourself together!

Tigerstar:

Oh, very well. Leopardstar? Leopardstar, Leopardstar, Leopardstar ...?

Leopardstar:

Yes, Tigerstar?

Tigerstar:

Nobody loved me, there's the rub, not even as a kit What did Crookedstar have that I don't have?

Leopardstar:

Do you want the short list or the long?

Tigerstar:

Whatever!

Leopardstar:

Well, he had adoring warriors... a loving family... a devoted mate...

Tigerstar:

That's it! I need a mate!

Leopardstar:

A what?

Tigerstar:

A mate, man! A mate! Without a mate, what am I? A dead end, no line, no descendants, no future. With a mate, I'll have kits... Immortality will be mine! Immortality will be mine!

Sasha:

Tigerstar.

Tigerstar and Leopardstar looked up at the tawny she-cat rogue.

Tigerstar:

Ah, Sasha... Your timing couldn't have been more perfect. My how you've grown

She flicked her tail impatiently. Leopardstar stood up.

"I'll organize a patrol," she mewed quickly before leaving. Tigerstar smiled at Sasha.

Sasha:

Tigerstar, you have got to do something. We're being forced to over hunt.

Tigerstar:

She's got those assets feminine

Sasha:

You're the leader. Control the warriors

Tigerstar:

I have to make her mine

Sasha:

You're destroying RiverClan

Tigerstar:

Nobility in every gene

Sasha:

If we don't stop now.. Don't you see...

Tigerstar:

She has to be my queen

Sasha:

...there's still a chance for things to be all right again...

Tigerstar:

Come, sweet Sasha It's written in the stars

Sasha:

What are you doing? Are you listening to me?

Tigerstar:

We'll create a host of Tigerstars

Sasha:

What are you talking about?

Tigerstar:

Tell me I'm adored

Sasha:

Get away from me

Tigerstar:

Tell me I'm adored. Tell me, I'm...AUGH!

Sasha had unsheathed her claws and clawed Tigerstar across the face. Tigerstar was stunned but only for a moment. He looked at her cooly.

Tigerstar:

Oh, Sasha... you know how I "loathe" violence... One way or another, you will be mine

Sasha:

Never, Tigerstar. Never!

Sasha turned and stormed out of the den. Tigerstar could feel blood drip down his cheek. He rubbed a paw over the wound only making it sting. He couldn't help but admire the rogue's fierceness. She had to be his, some way, some how.

Tigerstar:

You belong to me. You will belong to me!
