Yet another Warriors Forum Challenge. This is for the 'Vocaloids- A Challenge' one. A song-fic based on Alice of Human Sacrifice. Just so you know, there will be unnatural stuff in this. You'll learn eventually. Probably not until Chapter 2, though.
The First Alice…
The she-cat stared at the dead leader's body. But not in grief. In triumph. She had finally achieved it!
She jumped to the top of the tree-stump and cried, "All cats old enough to catch their own prey, join here beneath the Dead Tree for a WonderClan meeting!"
The she-cat's blood-red eyes flashed as the cats obeyed her command. Her claws unsheathed, digging deep into the wood beneath her paws, and her gray-brownish pelt was fluffed up slightly against the faint chill.
"As you know, our poor leader has fallen to the calls of StarClan. But now, I am ready to take up the reins and lead this Clan to greatness!"
A few cats nodded their heads and a couple cried out, "Redstar!"
But she heard one cat whisper, "Why should we let Redblood lead? She's mad!" But only she heard it. She let it slide this time, though. After she got her nine lives, she'd teach that cat a lesson.
"I want Bluerose to be my deputy!"
The similar-furred tom merely twitched his ear in acknowledgement. His deep blue eyes didn't lift from the ground at his paws.
Redblood let a grin split her muzzle, revealing the row of sharp teeth. Then she jumped down and announced, "I'll be back by moon high!" Then dived into the camp entrance, tail streaming behind her. She trusted Bluerose to handle the Clan until her return.
The she-cat crept back into the camp, nodding her head to Bluerose, who sat in the middle of the clearing. She wandered over to the blue-eyed tom and asked, "All went well, I assume?"
He nodded his head, replying with, "I set up patrols for tomorrow and made sure every cat was kept busy. Just as I assume you want it." His voice seemed to flow from his mouth like a song, light and alluring.
"You know me so well, Bluerose."
"And how did the leader ceremony go?"
"I am officially Redstar, leader of WonderClan," she replied before leaving Bluerose to watch the camp the rest of the night, entering her new den and quickly falling asleep. She didn't mind the scent of the old leader. The old cat's blood still stained her claws.
The next morning cats kept quiet, except for the cat that had spoken earlier. She knew he was telling cats to overthrow her. So, at exactly sun high, she summoned the clan, picking him out of the crowd and summoning him to the base of the Dead Tree. She announced, before he could react, "This cat has become a traitor, spreading malicious lies about his leader, myself, and deserves to be punished!"
Before he could even open his mouth to cry out she jumped down and tore his throat out, rendering him mute and dying. His mouth opened and closed as he tried to breathe and a pool of red surrounded him.
An insane laugh bubbled out of Redstar's lips and she watched the clearing blur once, twice, then she ran. The cats were shocked, but they quickly began to chase after their insane leader. They had to get rid of this menace, NOW!
The defiant tom was already dead when Bluerose went up to him, clicking his tongue a few times before trotting after the rest of his Clan.
Redstar stood above the she-cat, red eyes narrowed, tail lashing in her madness. The stupid cats… Didn't they know the casualties would be much less if they hadn't chased her down? There was so much blood staining her paws, of so many cats. She didn't even notice as the Clan of Wonder surrounded her, led by Bluerose. She glanced up at the tom and laughed once. She could tell by his look he expected her to come quietly. How foolish the idea! She sprang at her deputy, though she didn't get very far when the rest of the Clan surged forewords, pinning her down. She couldn't move a muscle without meeting resistance. But, before they dragged her away, she managed to open her muzzle and a song poured out.
"The first ALICE was a gallant red one
Bloody and red claws unsheathed in the WonderClan
Slicing down everything in her way
She was followed by a bloody red path.
This new ALICE deep in the woods
Was trapped as a wanted fugitive
If it weren't for the red path that she made
No one would think that she even existed."
The cats ignored it though, at least, tried to. The words were hauntingly true, but the one thing that confused them… Who was Alice? The leaders of WonderClan? Several cats couldn't help but spare a glance at Bluerose, the new leader.
The blue-eyed tom ignored the stares, ahead of them all, being his often-quiet self. But, in his mind, he could already imagine the amazing things WonderClan would do with him in charge.
