Chapter 3 Deathclan

"Please spear our lives?"

"I don't think so Yang, I just might spear your live, if I know what to do with you."

"What should we call you then?"

"Everyone calls me Boss."

"Boss?"

"Yes, now go pass me and you should see an opening, that is where you four will be staying till further notice and Yin…watch yourself out there, some of our cats can get a little restless, if you know what I mean."

"Uh, thank you."

When the four cats all got to the area, every single cat all stop what they were doing and look at the wanders, they whispered to each other but none of them took a single eye off of then, Yang broke the silence. "Hi."

Just then all of the cats disappeared in the shadows still murmuring to one another, theses cats were something that Yang and the others were not used to, they were bigger then the forest cats and they had more body scars on them that they had ever seen in their lives. Killer, claw, and Tank were the biggest cats in the forest, after looking at these cats, they were nothing compared to these cats.

Another cat, sitting in a cardboard box eating a black bird, grey she cat, older then the others said. "Don't mind them; they just never expected kids to join."

"We are not kids, my name is Yang, the oldest here, this is Sunrise our friend that is Yin my sister, and her mate Cloudfur."

"He is not my mate."

"Explain the kissing when he crosses the Thunder Path then?"

"I was just thankful that he made it across that's all."

"Right, anyway we are just passing thru."

"Were, you were passing thru, but now you are a part of Deathclan now if you want to get out of this clan alive, kill Boss."

"We are not murders."

"Where you came from you weren't, but you are now, have fun because you are stuck here and not getting out."

"What is your name?"

"They call me Big Mama. I did give birth to Boss after all."

"So…can you give us the background of this clan or something?"

"I know everything about this clan, me and my mate made it his name was Big Boss."

"Where is he now?"

"Good question, one can only imagine."

The Boss walks into the open and said. "Every Deathclan cats listen up, these cats will be staying with us, so don't try o kill them yet, let them evolve into Deathclan cats, ok then lets get to know one another."

A black cat with white eyes with the tip of his tail being white as well. "They call me Shadow; it is because I remind them so much as the legend of Shadow himself."

Yin and Tang both open there mouths and there eyes were as big as owl eyes. Yang spoke out of astonish. "You know about Shadow?"

"Who doesn't? Hell I was name after him."

Big Mama came in to explain how they knew Shadow. "You see young ones, my mate, Big Boss, came across Shadow a time or two in the past, Shadow saved his life when a giant monster was going to run him over. They met each other latter in the future and Big Boss was in a twoleg nest trying to free his cats, Shadow came out of nowhere and defeated to big dogs all by himself."

"How come we never herd about Big Boss before?"

"He likes to keep in the Shadows, more then Shadow, they both don't like to be called heroes, or legends, anyway Shadow also made a twoleg drop to the floor and Big Boss was able to rescue the cats, they all escape out of the twoleg nest and came here, this is where Deathclan was created. Big Boss wanted to have Shadow a part of his team but he vanishes before anyone ever knew it."

"What ever happen to Big Boss? When was the last that you saw him?"

"The last that I had ever saw him, it was late at night, he said he was watching the shadows and that he needed a place to rethink and he left, I never saw him again."

"My sympathies."

"Much obliged…You look like Shadow…what's your name again?"

"Yang."

"Yang…never herd of you."

"I have not done anything that Shadow has done to be famous yet, but I am the son of Nightclaw, Shadow's little brother."

"Yes…Nightclaw, that was a fun cat, always trying to get with the ladies, never a dull moment with him around that is for sure, and this is your sister? Yin correct?"

"Correct."

"Just getting to know each one of you."

The Boss came back out of the shadows and said. "Get some sleep; I got a job for all four of you tomorrow so sleep now works latter."

The next day Boss woke up the four cats and said. "Since you are new here my missions won't be so hard, you two, Yin, Cloudfur I need you two to seal some food, Brick will show you were to go. Shadow you lead Yang and Sunrise to the destination that I said.

"Yes Boss." Shadow led Yang and Sunrise across several allies, and pass some fences before finally arriving at there destination. "We are here." Shadow cross thru a small hole which led to a twoleg garden.

"Why are we here?" Yang said looking around.

"Assassination."

"What!"

"You two are to assonate a cat that lives in that nest."

"Why us?" Sunrise said while flexing his claws.

"To see whether you two are capable of being a Deathclan or not."

"Sunrise don't, it is easy to tell, but we are being watch."

"What is Cloudfur and Yin's job?"

"To bring back food."

"That's it?"

Getting the food is easy; bringing it back is the tricky part."

"I am not going to kill a cat that has no reason to be killed." Sunrise went into a hunting crouch and was about to attack Shadow then Yang stop him.

"Sunrise don't do anything stupid, we don't want to die…I don't like it either but it must be done.

Sunrise slowly got up and said. "I'll do it, but I am not any killer."

"What I want to know is why this cat?"

"That is Deathclan's business it does not concern you."

"Ok, let's get this over with Sunrise." Both Sunrise and Yang walk into the twoleg nest and slowly crept around.

"This gives me the creeps."

"Just keep your eyes peeled and let's find this cat." Both Yang and Sunrise entered in this room to find a beautiful orange she cat, sleeping in the sunlight which made her fur glow. Sunrise whispered to Yang. "Yang…I can't kill this cat, and lets face it, nether can you."

"I know, but what can we do? Is there a plan that you have to get both of us and Yin and Cloudfur out of this mess successfully?"

"No…but I just can't kill this cat."

The she cat woke up, and her green eyes were as green as the grass, and her voice was kind of soft, she is younger then Yang and Sunrise but not by much. "Hello?"

"Uh…hello." Sunrise said with a little bit of worry in his throat.

"Who are you two?"

"Yang" Yang said as he bowed his head and then continues. "This is my friend Sunrise, and who might you be?"

The cat chuckled a bit then said. "It's Soleil Levant it means rising sun in French."

"You two got more in common besides your color."

Soleil Levant got up and stretches out her claws and said. "What brings two cats here in my home?"

Sunrise froze, not knowing exactly what to say, then what Yang said almost made his heart drop. "We came here to kill you."

"My goodness…why me?"

"We don't want to, but we got to get our job done, is there any way for us to be able to stage a fake kill?"

"Fake kills?"

"We do not want to kill you, so instead we ant to fake kill you, is there anything in this nest that is the color red?"

"Yes…I don't know why but my Twolegs drinks blood…it kind of freaks me out a bit."

"Show us where, it just might do the trick."

"What do you got in mind Yang?"

"An idea Sunrise…lets go…quickly."

Soleil Levant showed them where the bottle of blood was, Yang quickly jump on the table and then push it of the table breaking it as it hit the ground.

"What in Starclan are you up to Yang!"

As Yang jump off the table he landed on the pool of blood. "Making blood, you can get this off after a good wash…just make sure this covers your body, and Sunrise, get some on yourself to look like we did kill this cat."

"I see now… Soleil Levant this is the only way to keep you alive."

"Since you say it that way…why not?"

Yang and Sunrise not only covered Soleil Levant in blood they also put some on them self's as well, then they told Soleil Levant to lay do and play dead while they go get Shadow. Not knowing that he saw the whole thing. As they got outside Shadow got up and said. "Done?"

"It is a mess in there, Yang and I was not expecting quite of a fight from the cat."

Shadow went inside to see what he had saw outside, he did not say anything but simply nodded and walk back outside.

As they all got back to Deathclan they saw Yin and Cloudfur there as well, and the largest piece of meat they had ever saw in there nine lives. Boss was on top of garbage looking down on them and Shadow walk right up beside him. They whispered to each other for a little while then Boss stood up and said. "These four can stay for they are now a part of Deathclan, please eat for tomorrow you got some more work to do."

As night fall came, the four cats all got together and tried to sleep in a cardboard box, then rain struck the land and they all had a rough night sleep. When they woke up Boss was standing in front of the box looking down on them and said. "Had a nice sleep?"

Yang slowly raised his head and said. "I wouldn't say the word nice but we did sleep the night away."

"Good now get up."

The four cats did what they were told and got out of the box, Boss carried on his speech from there. "Look, we are having some dog trouble and we need you four to get rid of them."

"How many dogs?"

"Does it really matter?"

"Well…yes it does."

"Two…but these dogs are very, very big and horrible, also once you get in no cat comes back out."

Yin spoke next for the defense of her fellow clan mates. "Why us? Why now? Don't you have other bigger and stronger cats to deal with your little dog problem?"

"What part of no cats get out don't you understand? And also these dogs are the least of your problems, there is a whole clan full they call them self's the Dogfather and they mean business killing these two dogs will send them fear thru the rest of there clan.

Yin's voice grew with outrage and she walk to where her forehead was right in front of Boss's there was a brief paused and Yin said in also voice still filled with anger. "We do not kill."

"You kill prey don't you? What's the difference?" with out waiting for a response he turned around and stared to walk off, and then another cat, Lightingclaw was her name came and took them to there destination.

At the destination she stood on the outside of the fence and when all four cats went inside she shut the fence. Yang said in a whispered voice. "I wonder why no cats come out alive?"

Yin returned his comment. "I feel like we are walking into a trap."

"Don't worry Yin; Cloudfur is here to protect you."

"Oh god not now Cloudfur."

"What?"

"Stop trying to hit on my dam sister….especially now."

"I got your back as well Yang."

"I rather that you don't have my back…or my front for that matter."

As they walk further two dogs came out of what look like to be a small red twoleg nest. Both dogs were as big as the nest and with there shinny teeth showing and there claws sharper then any cat's are the four cats knew that they were in trouble. Then a whistle came out of nowhere and both of the dogs sat down, straight, then Boss came right in front of them. "Boss."

"Shadow told me how you and Sunrise let that one cat lived, well this is what happens to you when you mess with the Deathclan." Out of nowhere the fence was lined up with cats watching to see what happens down below. Then Boss continued some more. "The reason why I wanted to kill all four of you was because you guys are like a small pack, can not be broken, or separate…so I figure this way will be more fun."

Yang commented on what Boss said before Yin broke the line and stated to attack. "Want to know what will be even more fun? My claws slowly running thru that dam neck of yours then licking my claws clean."

Boss simply smiled and nodded his head, he turned around and the two dogs attack the cats.

One of the dogs went straight for Yin and bit her side, the dog then jerk his head upward thrusting Yin to go flying backwards only to land on a few branches. Cloudfur got on top of the dog back that threw Yin backwards and lock in place with his claws firmly in the skin of the dog. Yang and Sunrise was dogging the other dog attacks but they were also getting push back into a corner as well. The dog struck Yang's left side of his face making it bleed Sunrise launch at the dogs face but the dogs flew Sunrise off of him. When Yang regains conscious he then dived underneath the dog and got his to front legs. Cloudfur fell off the dog that he was holding onto and the dog quickly bit his neck and then headed straight for Yang and Sunrise. The dog flew Yang which made him hit the fence and the other dog was playing cat and mouse with Sunrise. Thinking that Yang was dead the dog moved to Sunrise and soon both dogs had Sunrise pined down. Yang quickly saw what was going on and seeing that both dogs did not had no tails that Yang quickly jump on the back on one of the dogs then quickly to the other one as well. Both dogs yipped and back away for a seconded. Sunrise got up and aim for the dog on the left and Yang took on the dog that was on the right. Sunrise leap on top of the dog which made the dog lose balance and fell over. Sunrise quickly tow a fury of swipes at his neck to make sure that the dog will not be coming back up. Yang tried to attack the other dog but was hit with one of his strikes, then when the dog tried to attack Yang again Yang quickly got up from his feet and launch straight at his face. Both of his claws hit the dogs eyes then Sunrise jump on the dog which made him fell then did the same thing to the last dog that he killed. There was silence as the cats look at the last two surfing cats then Boss came onto the field and other cats jump off of the fence and surrounded Yang and Sunrise. Boss then said with a smile on his face. "Cant you two see that you will never win? You are too soft, why don't you give up?"

Yang spoke first, spitting out blood. "We do what we have to do, if you are so much of talk why don't you and I have a one on one battle right now?"

Sunrise quickly shook his head no to Yang then Boss walk further into the circle. "All right then…one on one just like you said." Cracking his neck he then said. "This shall be fun…and easy at the same time."

Boss quickly ran up to Yang and jump hoping to pin him down but Yang just moved to the side and watch as Boss fell. He quickly spun around thinking that Yang would attack but he just sat there. "Do you fight? Or do you just dodge attacks like a coward?"

"Call me what you want, but in the end the last cat standing will be the victor of the battle."

Boss did the same thing again and misses the same way this time Yang attack Boss which made them both roll for a little bit. When they stop Boss quickly flew Yang off of him and got up and ran toward him but Yang landed on all of his paws and quickly stuck at Boss when made his whole right side bleed and Boss fell to his side. Yang sat down and said. "Give up…your fighting style is kittypet like, get up and walk away now before something bad happens."

Boss slowly got up and he will not take no for an answer he quickly turned around and tried to rush Yang but he was already at the ready. Yang simply pined Boss down to the ground and said in a whispered voice. "Have it your way, and by the way…keep watching the stars will ya?" Yang bit Boss's neck killing him and after his death cried died out there was silence…then Yin's voice was herd above the rest and Cloudfur's body slowly raised as well. Yang and Sunrise quickly ran to them both and then Shadow came up to them and said. "Boss is dead…which makes yo Big Boss now."

All of a sudden this white tom came out of nowhere and said. "No…I am…excuse me for the interruption but my name I Big Boss, I am or was Boss's father and after seeing his death…couldn't have made me happier in my entire nine lives."

"Wait what? Seeing your own son's death made you happy?"

"Yes…I have seen what he had done with Deathclan after I left and now to see him dead…I just wonder why? Why did all of this happen? Why now?"

"Those are all good questions, but sadly none of them will be answered."

"Yes I agree that you are right Yang…well sorry that you four all got caught up in this mess but it is nice to see that you are all, all right."

Yang filled up with rage slightly then calmed back down and said. "All right?" Yang slowly laughs before continuing. "My sister is alive Starclan only knows how but I believe that her time is quickly running out and Cloudfur a very good warrior is also struggling to stay alive. Sunrise has got a few scratches but nothing so bad and I am bleeding all over…so ya…we are all just fine thank you very much."

"My apologies…please I do eager all four of you to rest at Deathclan for one more night then carry on with your duties."

"Sounds good we will, but we need help with my sister and her mate."

"Of cores…please cats of Deathclan, leave no cats behind…help then to the medical center."
