Chapter 3: A harder task?
Blackkit stared at Wolfkit and Swiftkit in hatred. How could they be made apprentices, he was the strongest warrior ever to set foot on the clan's territory. It was two moons after not that any of those mouse brains knew that he, Hawkfrost and Brokenstar were alive again, with new bodies and new lives. They now had a second chance to get all the power they wanted.
It was strange though, having all his past memories and personality, but at the same time, having the excited nature of a kit again, and the kit's personality that he had taken the body from. Tigerstar, or Blackkit, since that was his new name, had a split personality. Like the other day, he saw a butterfly, the Blackkit side of him wanted to chase after it and try to catch it. Whereas the Tigerstar side of him couldn't stand the idea of chasing after a stupid insect.
Blackkit couldn't stand the ongoing war in his head, his natural kit nature won over sometimes, making him feel like a fool after. He knew though as time would go on this body would be his to absolutely control. Without any secondary personality.
Him and Hawkfrost, or now Foxkit were always together, it was weird, feeling a bond with the tom that was a bit different from father to son, and growing more like friendship. Tigerstar hated it, this separate personality. It made him different in a way, he loathed Blackkit, his separate personality, the way his mind was split in half whenever he came to a decision.
It's necessary.. He growled to himself, without this body he would have faded by now. But with it he could continue his quest for glory and power.
Tigerstar couldn't wait for his apprentice ceremony, that could have sounded childish, but it was in good reason, being made an apprentice made him a step higher to power in Thunderclan. Also it was far more exciting than the life of a stupid kit!
Now, what did he do all day? That could mean minimal humiliation and stupid antics of child? He sat, watching thunderclan go on their daily business. He saw Lionblaze the deputy ordering the cats for their daily chores. He unsheathed his claws and sank them into the ground. He felt the Blackkit side of him winning over and he decided to see what his supposed siblings were doing.
He padded over to his kin and stared at them with burning amber eyes. They were being childish, swiping each other with sheathed claws, aims clumsy and ill aimed. He rolled his eyes and decided to join in. Time to show you how it's done.. He narrowed his eyes and fluffed out his thick black pelt. He kept his claws sheathed, only due to injury risk so his apprenticeship would be delayed.
Ravenkit looked at him with playful gleam in her green eyes, Blackkit growled at her, the two kits circled each other, Blackkit snarled playfully, but mostly trying to let his sister know that he was a formidable fighter. Ravenkit frowned, deep in concentration. Then without warning Blackkit leaped, he launched onto her shoulders and pulled her down with his bigger weight, Ravenkit was fast though, she slipped out from under him and batted his ears quickly, Blackkit let out a hiss of annoyance, and swiped her back legs and knocked her over. "Stop!" hissed Stormkit.
The two black kits unravelled and looked at each other. "WOW! Blackkit you're a brilliant fighter!"
Blackkit grinned. "Thanks!" he purred. Tigerstar suddenly realised he would have never said that, he thought for a moment. Was that his reply or Blackkit's?
Blackkit gave Ravenkit a gentle cuff on the ears. She laughed, and returned the blow. Tigerstar stopped himself, what was happening?!
He looked over to Foxkit, the ginger, long haired tom was sitting near the play fight, his ice eyes narrowed. Blackkit quickly said a farewell to his kin and ran over to him.
"What was.. THAT!?" Foxkit hissed, or Hawkfrost hissed.
Tigerstar looked at his son. "I have no idea."
"That was not you... do you think it was the kit?"
Tigerstar's neck fur rose. "Impossible. He was dead... Body and consciousness. DEAD!"
Hawkfrost glared at him. "Well, he'd better be.. or our plans failed before it's even begun."
Tigerstar looked at a puddle at his paws. He could see his new face, black, fluffy and with the same old amber eyes. Full of courage and brutality. But there was something else there too... Gentleness? Compassion? He pushed the horrible emotions away, he didn't need them!
He looked over back to his new kin, Ravenkit was holding Stormkit down, sitting on him, and grinning hugely down at the red, brown tabby. "Surrender?" She purred.
"Ouch! Yeah! Get off you fur ball!" he hissed.
Blackkit rolled his eyes and purred at his troublesome kin. Then with a jolt realised it had happened again!
"Do you think it's possible that our two personalities have been mashed together?" he stared at Foxkit.
Foxkit shook his head, and looked over at the playing kits.
"You're the leader.. I don't know anything about this.. It isn't happening to me." He growled.
Tigerstar shook his fur. He decided to get some sleep, hopefully dream of the dark forest and return back to his clanmates. He padded to the nursery, shoulders heavy.
He settled into the soft moss, for once he liked this new home better than his old one, there wasn't the smell of death always tainting the air, and it was well...nicer. he blinked open his eyes wide, it had happened again. Tigerstar's home was the dark forest, there was nothing better. Blackkit? Different story.
"I'm still here Tigerstar... did you think I would give up that easily?"
Tigerstar's amber eyes narrowed to slits and his eyebrows went up when he recognised the kit's voice. Blackkit?!
"Oh yes Tigerstar! You took my life! I want to kill you! I HATE YOU! You pretend that I am still alive, and taunt me by the way my family think I am alive and well, when really I am being consumed by the most evil traitor ever to live! I will NOT give up without a fight, yes you could try to block me out, but until you have learned how... well let's just say your head's going to get rather crowded."
Tigerstar unsheathed his claws when he realised his task was just about to get far harder...
BOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMM!
Sorry for the shortness, back to school now so not as much time, but I will continue!
So Blackkit is still fighting! YAY! And Tigerstar is going to have a very crowded head...
Yeah.. headaches on the way?
Lol!
Till next time!
Best wishes! Xx
