Chapter 24: Serve up some hot revenge...
OHHH! Your gonna have a special POV today! (point of view) En joy!
Cinderheart outside the warriors den, listening with pricked ears the yowls and screams of the fighting cats. Her heart thudded in her chest fearfully. Lionblaze was out there. She reminded herself that her mate was the strongest cat in Thunderclan and that he had the power to survive any attack. Cinderheart imagined him coming through the barrier now, smiling with happiness, without a scratch. Her hopes where shattered. "LIONBLAZE!" screamed Dovewing.
Cinderheart looked up at the huge wall that surrounded the camp, Lionblaze was fighting Breezepelt, or rather, being knocked closer and closer to the edge of the wall. With a final blow, Breezepelt knocked Lionblaze over the cliff, her mate fell. Tumbling down, he hit almost every rock, his body being bashed and broken everywhere. Cinderheart leapt up, the world slowed down as she pelted over to where Lionblaze was going to land. He was almost at the bottom, he hit his head on a sharp rock and landed with a hard thud. His body was covered in gashes, the worst on his face, he has claw scratches dully bleeding on his face, and on the back of his head, a huge gash from the rock. It bled heavily. Cinderheart collapsed beside him, screaming his name, his amber eyes didn't seem to register her, they slowly closed.
Breezestar watched the golden tom tumble down the rocks. He didn't bother watching the entire process. He turned to his companions. Ratscar grinned, Nightcloud stood still with anger in her eyes. Blossomfall had dark eyes, but she also looked shocked. "Come on, we need to get our prize." Breezestar said darkly. He led the cats to the thunderclan camp entrance. He saw Cinder-whatever crouching beside Lionblaze's still body, with tears in her eyes.
Breezestar noticed that most of thunderclan had realised he was there. He padded over with his clanmates and stood over the body of Lionblaze. With a sigh of relief he realised that he was still alive, he needed him that way. He placed a unsheathed paw on Lionblaze's neck. He received a angry hiss from the cat with him. He flicked his tail at Ratscar. The deputy grabbed the shecat's scruff and pulled her away from him. The thunderclan cat started yowling.
"Cats of Thunderclan! I have your deputy at my mercy, I can slash his neck open right now. However I won't. I want your leader at the island this moonhigh. To discuss, certain..matters.." Breezestar growled.
Dovewing hissed at him. "What are you going to do with Lionblaze?!"
Breezestar chuckled. "Take him to my place of course and If you don't let me... well.." he placed his unsheathed paw on Lionblaze's neck.
Bramblestar nodded to the Darkclan cats. "I will be there."
Breezestar grinned. "Thank you, for your cooperation. Oh and Bramblestar...come alone...otherwise you know what will happen"
It was almost sunset when they had dragged an unconscious Lionblaze to the edge of Thunderclan territory. The deputy of Thunderclan was very heavy. "Ratscar, go and lead your attack on shadowclan. I want that cat your going to bring at the island by moonrise."
Ratscar nodded. He pelted off into Shadowclan territory with Thornclaw, Mousewhisker, Furzepelt, Hollowflight and Applefur. The rest of Darkclan slowly made their way back to the island.
It was moonrise. Breezestar saw the approaching Ratscar's patrol. He had taken a shadowclan cat hostage. Breezestar noticed that he hadn't seen Tigerheart after the battle. Where has he gone Tigerstar?
He went to the stupid weaklings of Thunderclan.. to find his forbidden love...Tigerstar's voice was harsh with hatred for his grandson.
Breezestar! Lionblaze is waking up!
Breezestar turned to the battered form of Lionblaze. He let out a low moan of pain, as he slipped out of unconsciousness.
Lionblaze was confused and groggy. His vision was blurry and he kept slipping in and out of consciousness. He was dreaming every time his brain fainted. He dreamt of Cinderheart and their kits, she was just about to give birth in his dream, it was all going well. Then she screamed. She yowled to the heavens in deathly pain, Lionblaze couldn't do anything.. as his mate and all his kits were being dragged into darkness along with their blood. Then he was transported into the medicine den. He was looking at Jayfeather. "They are all dead..." he whispered.
Lionblaze woke with a jolt screaming. He suddenly realised it was all a dream. His breathing slowed, he thought he was still in Thunderclan but as he opened his eyes, he saw he was on the island. Then he was reminded of the intense pain all over his body. His paws were covered in blood. His blood. He looked up to see Breezestar standing over him. "You...y-...mur...der...er.." Lionblaze panted, he was surprised at how weak he was. Breezestar grinned. "Don't waste what little life you have left Lionblaze. I need you alive... for now.."
He looked over to where Ratscar was standing. He had a very wounded shadowclan warrior next to him. Lionblaze suddenly recognised the warrior. Rowanclaw! The noble deputy of Shadowclan was crouching in the dust, shaking with fright. Lionblaze couldn't move, the stinging of his wounds was too painful. So he laid in the tainted red dust, along with his blood. Waiting.
It was moonhigh. "We have come." Growled a familiar voice. Lionblaze creaked open an eye and saw Bramblestar along with Blackstar. "dear Starclan..." whispered Bramblestar when he took in the bloody mess of Lionblaze. "What have you done to him!" hissed Bramblestar.
Breezestar ignored the furious question. He sat down, his tail wrapped around his paws. "I have brought you here today because, I don't know if you have realised this or not but Darkclan is currently taking refuge on the island. However, we know we can't stay here forever. So, I ask you to give the part of your territories that border each other, to us."
"WHAT!?" hissed Blackstar.
Bramblestar growled. "Never, we need it for hunting."
Breezestar chuckled. "I thought that would be your response. So I made sure I had something... to encourage you..."
Breezestar nodded to Ratscar. Ratscar took his place beside Rowanclaw while Breezestar stood next to Lionblaze.
Lionblaze looked up, in fear of what the insane leader would do next. "let me demonstrate..." he unsheathed his claws. Looked at Lionblaze with glowing amber eyes, and a insane grin, showing his fangs. He lifted his paw in the air, and brought it crashing down on Lionblaze's side, then pulled it through his shin. Lionblaze cried out in agony, as the leader of Darkclan clawed his body. He sliced his shoulder, head and body. Lionblaze yowled, wanting to die it was that bad. For once he hated his powers, a normal cat would have died by now. Tears streamed down Lionblaze's face as he battled the intense fire that ravaged his pelt. Breezestar laughed the entire time, splattering blood everywhere. Lionblaze, on his side, on the floor could only thrash his legs around as the black cat slashed endlessly at his fur.
In the background Lionblaze could hear the screams of Rowanclaw, as the same was done to him. "Stop!Stop it!" screamed Bramblestar. For a brief moment Breezestar stopped, then he was joined by Nightcloud, then in unison they continued slashing and clawing Lionblaze. He screamed at the top of his voice, the pain too much to bear.
Bramblestar stared in agony, feeling powerless to stop his adopted son's pain. Lionblaze was screaming, his powers couldn't even stop the pain. He shouted at the Darkclan leader, begging him to stop the attack on the defenceless Lionblaze, but they didn't Breezestar laughed, enjoying the attack.
Breezestar never felt so happy in his life, finally after so long, revenge, against everything that had gone wrong in his life. The noble Lionblaze, the most feared warrior around the lake, begging for his mercy.
Lionblaze closed his eyes, willing for them to stop, he had resulted to the point of begging his half brother to stop torturing him. "Please! STOP!" he yowled. The insane cat didn't listen. Bramblestar yowled at Breezestar. "Alright! Stop! Please! I will do what you want."
Lionblaze chocked with relief as the leader of Darkclan stopped the assault. He nodded to Ratscar to stop him doing the same. "Will Thunderclan give us territory?" whispered Breezestar.
"yes." Growled Bramblestar.
"Blackstar?" growled Breezestar
"So will shadowclan." Blackstar growled.
Breezestar chuckled. "Good."
"Move your borders, we will be there by Moonhigh tomorrow. Take your deputies and leave."
All the Darkclan cats sneaked off into the shadows. Lionblaze found himself looking into the distraught face of Bramblestar. "Lionblaze!Lionblaze!Stay with me!"
Lionblaze coughed up a bit of blood and succumbed to his wounds and drifted off into painless sleep.
Wow, breeze is a little um...INSANE!? but it worked, he got territory, and he did it in a clever way, because he couln't take on two clans! He was outnumbered to take on one! So, Lionblaze, a little wounded are we?
Lionblaze: YES! You sick person! I'm near death!
Neon: yeah, sorry about that, but look on the bright side, it's all for the sake of DRAMA!
Lionblaze: I was butchered... FOR DRAMA?!
Neon: yeah...soz
Lionblaze: Till next time... we possibly.. if I live!?
