Tigerstar's pov
It had been nearly a year since we last fully saw each other, been with each other. Sure I'd get a text or call when he was alone. We couldn't share the words we wanted to at the meetings, but each time I go to call him to get him over here, I hear the stress in his voice. Something big is going on in Thunder, and Darkstripe has been sharing only what he thought was important. It was driving me insane. I now paced back and forth in my office, too restless to do my paperwork. My tail swayed side to side anxiously, my ears perked for an unknown reason. The last phone call ended with an chilling silence that hasn't been answered since.
Then my phone rang. I stopped in my pacing for a second to pull out my phone and press it against my human ear.
"The leaders need you to attend an important meeting." It was Blackfoot, my Right-hand man.
"The leaders?" I asked, not comprehending, my thoughts still on my mate.
"Yes, Tallstar, Leopardstar, and Firestar." The deputy growled impatiently. "They said it was important. At the place we usually meet." The line went dead. The entire gang was starting to get sick of me being scatter-brained, but they knew why. Wait a minute…..did he just say…..FireSTAR?
Why didn't he tell me Bluestar died? We just spoke not two days ago. I snatched my keys and went down to my car. The drive that usually took at least ten minutes passed in a blink of an eye. I entered the building, even the impossibly long elevator seemed short. When I entered in the conference room, only the three leaders where there, but not in their usual spots, all standing. I had looked at newly named Firestar, and my eyes widened. The new leader looked dead on his feet. Dark bags hung under un-sparkling emerald eyes, his orange ears drooped and his tail hung sagged, not moving. Even Tallstar, who was getting older, looked ten times better than the young kittypet.
"Ah, Tigerstar, you made it." Tallstar called. I dipped my in greeting, walking forward to join the small group.
"Yes, why was this meeting called?"
"Because…" Leopardstar began, before she was cut off.
"Because you're no longer welcome in these towns. You have five days to give me your answer." A low voice answered. "Leave or die." I spun, about to…to…do something, but I stopped short. There, at gunpoint, was three warriors. One was Cloudtail, the other was Weedfoot, and the last one was Onewhisker. One warrior from each gang, except mine. I looked at the other Leaders. Leopardstar, she had her jaw clenched, her eyes narrowed. Tallstar had an eerie calm air around him. Firestar had a murderous gleam in his tired eyes, I could almost hear his thoughts… "Those bastards have my nephew!" We couldn't do nothing, except watch as the small group leave with the prisoners.
"What are we going to do?!" Leopardstar hissed when they left.
"We need to confer with our clans." Tallstar said calmly.
"What do we do when we've decided?"
"Meet here on the fourth day." Tallstar answered, pulling his coat on.
Leopardstar nodded and stalked toward the elevator, pressing the button and waited for the doors to open up. When it did, she and Tallstar stepped in the shaft. As the doors closed I turned to Firestar.
"What happened?" I demanded, my rage slowly building.
His dull green eyes looked at me, a soft smile on his lips. He went to move towards me, but stumbled. Instinct washed through me as I caught him and pulled him to my chest. He sighed and relaxed completely.
"I'm sorry." He rasp. "Everything got so hectic in the past few hours. I don't think I've truly slept since your call." He admitted. "When I got off the phone with you, we were being attacked. That's when they took Cloudtail. Bluestar seemed to awaken at her gang being attacked and tried to defend us." Tears brimmed in his dull green eyes, "She was shot in the heart. I couldn't get to her in time. Then next I know, Cinderpelt is urging me, telling me it's time to get my nine lives." He shuttered at the memory. "I've been trying to clam everyone down when Scourge's note said to meet him here! I didn't even realize that they had my nephew until now."
"What do you mean, Bluestar seemed to awaken?" I asked.
"When you left, she lost it. Believed that she couldn't trust starclan, or any of us, except me. Then, when I prevented a battle with Windclan, she believed now that I had betrayed her. I've basically been running the clan, though, since you left." I stroked his hair, soothing him. I felt bad, now. But it made sense, when we'd spend the night together, first thing in the morning he was off.
"I'm sorry." Darkstripe never told me any of this! My mind raged. He saw me not five hours ago, and Firestar has been leader for at least a full twenty-four hours. I leaned down and pressed my lips to his, just a soft kiss, to tell him I understand. "Did you drive here?" I asked. He shook his head. "Come on." I purred, dragging him with me to the elevator, and pulled him in.
I drove him back to Thunder's main house, on the way he had got Cinderheart to come out and help him in, the only one who knew about us.
I watched as he was pulled in before I threw the car in reverse and sped out of the area before anyone recognized me.
Two days passed quickly. Shadowclan has decided that we will stay and fight, it's our land.
Darkstripe was coming today. And he was getting it. Just as I thought it, the brown-haired man came in.
"Tigerstar." He greeted, dipping his head in respect.
"Why didn't you tell me that Bluestar had passed?" I demanded, his eyes widening. "Didn't think I knew did you, but I met with the Kittypet leader two days ago!" I snarl, watching with satisfaction as he cowered against the door.
"I-I didn't think.." he spluttered.
"What that it was important?! It's important to EVERY gang when a leader is killed, you idiot!" I snarled, baring my teeth. "What's worse, the kittypet said he had been leader for at least twenty four hours! I had seen you just five before he told us that!" Fear clouded his eyes as I advanced. "GET OUT!" I screeched, pointing away from me, my eyes closed as I heard him shuffle past quickly.
I let the anger burn down as I picked up my phone. I hit the one number I wanted and held up to my ear. It rang for a moment before his groggy "Hello?" came.
"Kittypet, get your tail over here, or I WILL go over there and drag you here." I growled before hitting the 'end call' button. I didn't have to tell him who I was, and sure enough, twenty minutes later, the newly named Firestar walked in. Tiredness was still there, but he looked a whole lot better than when I last saw him. I pulled him to me, smashing my lips to his, one hand tangled in his hair the other stroking his tail. A soft mewl of pleasure erupted from him, entering my mouth. I drove onward, pushing him to the bed, almost tearing his clothes off. I finally got rid of that nagging urge that I couldn't escape for the last year. That need I felt finally faded when I entered him. I sighed in relief, hearing Firestar echo it.
I pounded into him, relishing in his moans and the warmth. Finally I dropped onto his chest, feeling him curl around me as I re-imprinted his scent in my memory. I let my eyes fall shut.
EDITED FROM HERE ON…
I woke up, blinking groggily. I looked around realizing that Firestar was still tucked in my embrace. I smiled softly, pulling him even tighter into my arms. He stirred then, blinking foggy green eyes at me. I kissed his lips softly, feeling his snuggle deeper in my arms.
Then his phone beeped, causing us to both to sigh in annoyance. He rolled to his stomach, arms disappearing over the edge of the bed, digging in his pants, not finding it there he pulled it of his jacket. He quickly typed in his passcode, opening up his messages.
He sighed again. "I have to call Whitestorm." He said, punching in the number. "Yes, I'm okay. Sorry, I…what? Slow down, what did they do? Ugh, send them for a medicine for Cinderheart…Yes, I will be there shortly…what do you mean relax? You….oh. How did you…well….you don't care…WHAT? I'll be there in an hour. Yes an hour!" He sighed, ending the call, and looked at me.
"What's going on?" I asked.
"Whitestorm knows, and now all the queens do, too. The sad part is they're all….liking the idea, even though it's against the code. I don't understand!" He sighed again, falling back onto the pillows. I followed him down, wrapping my arms around his waist.
THREE DAYS LATER (Third person)
Every gang leader were outside their meeting building, each one with a large group of warriors, Firestar was in the lead. Each of the other leaders agreed that he should lead their united gangs, which they were calling Lion Clan.
They were waiting for Scourge.
"So all the famous gangs are gathered? Hope you're gonna give me the right answer." A growl came from the shadows, followed by the black-haired man, and behind him was his gang.
Firestar stepped forward. "We will give you a free chance to leave."
"No." He snarled.
"This is your one and only chance." Firestar said calmly, but Tigerstar saw the irritated twitch in his tail.
"You're starting to annoy me." Scourge said simply. Then, moving with a warrior's speed, he had his gun out and the shot rang out. The bullet embedding itself in Firestar's chest, causing him to fall back. Tigerstar fell forward with his mate, his eyes wide. He caught Firestar's head in his lap, keeping it from colliding with the harsh pavement. I looked at his sightless eyes, before pulling out my two guns and started firing, aiming at Scourge. All the warriors followed the lead and started attacking. The battle erupted, and Tigerstar pulled the body of his lover into cover. Leopardstar and Tallstar was with him, covering him, shooting anyone who got close.
Then Firestar's eyes started glowing a bright emerald green, and the bullet wound disappeared, healing before Tigerstar's amber eyes. He sat up, looking around before looking at Tigerstar in the eye. "Cover me." He whispered to him and the other leaders, standing up. Leopardstar took position behind him, Tallstar on the left and Tigerstar on the right.
They shot, killing any "Blood" member that came close to the redhead. His eyes seemed to know where Scourge was, finding him quickly.
"Scourge!" He growled out, his voice seemingly not alone, Tigerstar could hear the rasping tone of Yellowfang, the wisdom of Bluestar, and strength of Lionheart, and the sorrow tone of Redtail, mingled with his own voice.
"I killed you!" Scourge's blue eyes now showed two emotions, shock and fear. He pulled out his gun again, but Firestar was expecting it now, and was quicker. Scourge may have the speed of a warrior, but Firestar had the speed of a Leader. He shot the intruder in each shoulder, and in each thigh, preventing any movement form the other. As the shots rang clear everyone stopped fighting.
"Yes, you did kill me." He snarled, walking up to the so called leader of Bloodclan, pressing the tip of his gun to his forehead. "But I have the nine lives of a true leader." He pulled the trigger.
The members of Bloodclan fled, leaving several wounded warriors, and a couple dead. Firestar's eyes stopped glowing, and was suddenly gasping as if out of breath.
"Firestar!" CInderheart called. The emerald eyes widened, rushing over to the light gray-haired woman.
"What?" He asked, looking down at her. She was on her knees, trying to save someone that Firestar couldn't recognize, at least, until he opened his eyes.
"Whitestorm!" He gasped, dropping to his knees.
"My time's up." He heard the older warrior gasp.
"B-but who…"
"You know who was suppose to be your Deputy." He said in a low scolding manner, tilting his head towards Greystripe before closing his eyes and never opened them again.
"On the death of Whitestorm, I name you, Greystripe as Thunder's new Deputy." Firestar announced, standing up. Everyone cheered for Greystripe, then someone started yelling "LIONCLAN! LIONCLAN!" and everyone joined in. There may be mourning in the following day, but it is outweighed only by the victory that was shared by all four gangs.
