A/N: Hey guys, we're finally updating again and this is back to Icefire and Tangleclaw.

Origins

Black and white, side by side, the two she-cats sat on a rock at dawn. They looked out for the mountain lioness that was attacking the Tribe. Icefire curled her tail in warning. Tangleclaw felt the tail move and glanced over Icefire's shoulder.

A tannish gold tail flicked over the top of a rock. Tangleclaw bunched her leg muscles and leaped toward it. Her sister followed her closely. The duo slid between rocks easily.

Tangleclaw got a full view of the giant cat before her sister. Tangleclaw froze and Icefire about knocked her off the rocks. "It's her! Icefire, its Aunty!"

Icefire yowled out in surprise. Both she-cats ducked when the mountain lion turned around. They both shrank into the rocks and made themselves as invisible as they could. The lioness leaped over them and sat facing the waterfall.

"Let's kill her now," Icefire said, "I feel well enough to do it and anyway she'll know we're here if we wait too long." Tangleclaw agreed and together they leaped onto the lioness's back.

Tangleclaw landed on her neck and Icefire directly on her back. Tangleclaw clawed out the lioness's eyes as Icefire scratched fiercely at her sides. The lioness hit the rocks and the two cats leaped off.

Tangleclaw watched with cold eyes as the giant cat bled to death. Icefire nudged Tangleclaw back toward the cave the Tribe lived in. "I thought you were a medicine cat." Icefire said. "You aren't supposed to watch death with cold eyes."

Tangleclaw turned at the waterfall and said, "I may be the ThunderClan medicine cat but that doesn't mean anything! Remember when we first became the Winds? Remember how I ended up the fierce East Wind?" She swiped her tail angrily along the ground.

Then Tangleclaw explained to Icefire what happened from her apprenticing in ThunderClan until she became an immortal.

Flashback

At six moons old, the white kit known as Sunkit was being made into an apprentice under Thunderstar. Her brother was sitting next to her waiting excitedly to be made an apprentice. Thunderstar called the clan together with his favorite call.

"All cats able to catch their own prey gather beneath me for a clan meeting!" He called. The cats gathered and he named Sunpaw his apprentice and her brother Moonpaw as their father's, Whiteclaw, apprentice. The two were happy and went hunting together. The East Wind was blowing that day.

At 10 moons they became warriors, Sunpelt and Mooneyes. Whiteclaw and their mother, Lightfur, were so happy for them. Mooneyes went hunting with Whiteclaw and Rockfall, the clan Deputy.

Sunpelt strolled out of camp by herself and explored by her lonesome. The East Wind was blowing again. Soon enough she came across a cave that had never been explored. She was curious so she entered. Her whiskers told her that it was a very small tunnel, possibly rabbit. She was small for her age so she fit easily.

At the end of the tunnel there was a bright cave. She blinked a few times and saw the glowing pink walls, there were prophecies etched into them. After a few seconds of looking at the walls, Sunpelt finally saw the smoky figure in the center of the cave.

She jumped when she saw it and it laughed, "Silly kitten, do you not know who I am?"

She replied snidely, "Oh yeah, I know you." She sat with her tail curled around her, "You're the one who decided I was to born and kept alive."

"Your sarcasm is actually correct." The spirit said, "I am the Spirit of The East Wind, and you are to be my carrier." Sunpelt took a step back, "Yes child, you are mine forever."

"How so and why?" Was the response of the white she-cat.

"Kill three cats that are very close to you," The spirit said, "Whiteclaw, Lightfur, and Mooneyes. I will make you an immortal." She must have looked horrified because the spirit said, "If you don't kill them, your whole clan will die."

"Yes East Wind." She said as she turned to leave. She exited the cave and ran home. When she got there most cats were already asleep. She went into the warrior's den and found her father's sleeping figure.

She walked up and licked his ear, "Sleep well Whiteclaw." She slashed his throat. She found her brother and did the same. It was difficult for her to do for she loved him dearly. Last she found her mother asleep in the nursery.

"Sunpelt?" One of the kit-mother's asked, "What are you doing here?"

Sunpelt looked at her and sliced open her mother's throat with her back claws. The darkness hid what she was doing from the kit-mother's but the sound of blood spilling from the wounds caught the attention of the two she-cats inside.

"What just happened?" The first asked, "Sunpelt, what did you do?" Sunpelt knew she wouldn't get away with this if they told on her. She did the only thing she could, she killed them both.

Out of the camp she ran. She ran all the way to the cave. The spirit congratulated her and made her immortal, "You are now Alse, carrier of the East Wind." The cave quit glowing and Alse laid there for three straight days crying.

Flash-forward

"Oh Tangleclaw!" Icefire said, "I didn't know you had to kill your family too!"

"What do you mean 'too'?" Tangleclaw asked. She sat facing the sun.

"When I was a kit I was known as Moonkit, like your brother." Icefire began, "At six moons I became Shadowstar's apprentice. Shadowstar trained me hard with me two sisters, Duskpaw and Dawnpaw, and my brother, Lightpaw. We were the clan's pride and joy. We lived in peace until the day our mother died." She paused, "We were horrified, when Shadowstar made us warriors the day of her death. I was Moonshadow. My sisters were Dawnpelt and Duskpelt, they were so close and looked alike so they were naturally named close together. My brother ended up Lightwisker.

"Like you I found a cave with glowing walls etched with prophecies. This cave had gray walls though and the North Wind spirit was white. It told me to murder my littermates and my father. I did but not without a fight. I argued with the spirit that I had had enough disasters in my life that I didn't need another. It didn't care. It said it would kill the clan if I didn't obey. So I did.

"That same night I ripped my brother's throat out and put twin cuts on my sisters'. My father I let die of lacerations all over his body. He was out hunting so he wasn't heard while I killed him. I went back to the cave and cried for many, many days. The spirit called me Ilce."

Tangleclaw nodded, "Arson took a human's fire and burned down his camp. His mother and sister were the only ones who died in it. His father had died shortly after he was made an apprentice." She said.

Icefire replied by saying, "Icron only had to kill his pregnant sisters. He did so by dropping a dead tree branch on them. His mother and father were killed in a battle against ShadowClan."

Tangleclaw nodded and they headed back to the Tribe's cave.

A/N: Here you are, I stayed up until 3 i the morning trying to pick names for their littermates and parents. I want to thank ScourgeloverBirdwing for helping out. I couldn't think of how to end this chapter and she said I should probably add in something about how these rouges knew the clans and the Tribe cats. So I did and I hope you liked it!
