Here we go again! Chapter 6, coming at you!

Chapter 6: Changes

Firestar jolted awake in a cold sweat in his Den in Skyclan. As his eyes adjusted to the dimly lit den, Firestar mewed, "Fucking nightmare. It's been one moon since Sunnypelt and I arrived here. And I still have no ideas as to where to search for his body! I am no closer to ending this once for and all! Damn it! I need to do something. I need to change my approach." Firestar looked at his claws and sighed in defeat. He hissed, "I don't want to do this, but I no longer have a choice. Every single second Tigerstar is alive, yet another part of me dies all over again! I need to find him. Soon!" Firestar felt himself calm down as he felt Sunnypelt's breath on his back.

Firestar mewed quietly, "It's time for me to be the change I couldn't be. I need to step up to the plate and take a chance. Maybe, just maybe, I can find a life like those in fairy tales, far from this life of tragedies." Firestar got to his paws and padded towards the entrance to his den. He was greeted by Sharptooth.

Sharptooth mewed, "What's the plan? You know I have your back." Firestar hissed, his voice teeming with rage and grief, "Time for me to dirty my paws in a different way." Sharptooth's eyes widened in disbelief and he mewed in understanding, "I know you're hurting. But there has to be a different way to get the answers you seek!" Firestar hissed, "If you can think of them before I take that step, wonderful. If not, stay the hell out of my way. I have already searched the Sunning Rocks where Tigerstar murdered Redtail! I have searched the battleground where Tigerstar was slain by Scourge! I have checked everywhere I could think of! I have exhausted all the leads I had! This is the last thing I can think of to get my answers! So, unless you have any bright ideas, stay the fuck out of my way! Stop worrying about me! I will be fine once I have Tigerstar's head on a pike!"

Sharptooth watched Firestar walk away in the night and he looked down in defeat as he said, "Damn it, Firestar. You're changing! I know why you are, and I am trying to be understanding, but your eyes have long since lost their familiar warmth. Y-You're allowing yourself to become dark! By Starclan, I hope you can find the strength to return to us when it's finally over!" Sharptooth looked at Firestar's den and looked at Sunnypelt's sleeping body. Sharptooth said quietly, "Please. It's all up to you, to bring him back to us. It is up to you to stop him from becoming nothing but a living husk. It has all fallen onto your shoulders. Please. Save him from himself."

Firestar walked out of Skyclan and headed towards the southern border. He spat, "Bloodclan had cats stationed there before. I bet there's more." Firestar looked at his paws again and growled, "It isn't a choice anymore. I must do this." Firestar looked around for a secluded place as he padded to Skyclan's southern border. The moon was high in the sky.

Firestar tasted the air and smirked as he smelled a single cat. Firestar mewed, "Perfect." Firestar crept behind the cat stealthily and quickly subdued it. Firestar dragged the cat's unconscious body over the border and looked for a place to enact his plan.

That Morning:

Sunnypelt's eyes opened as the sun hit her pelt. She looked for Firestar, but didn't see him. She muttered, "He must've let me sleep in." Sunnypelt got to her paws and stretched. A yowl of fear caused her to sprint out of the den.

Sunnypelt looked around and gagged as she saw a mangled cat's corpse in the middle of the clearing. The body was surrounded by all of Skyclan. Her gaze wandered over to Leafstar and Leafstar said weakly, "W-Who is that? W-Who did that?!" Sunnypelt looked at the dead cat's claws and saw metal. She mewed weakly, "It isn't a member of Skyclan. It's one of the rogues!"

Leafstar looked at her and asked, "W-Where's Firestar?" Sunnypelt answered, "He wasn't in the den when I woke up." Leafstar asked, "C-Could he have done this?" Sunnypelt shook her head no and answered, "Impossible. He obeys the Warrior Code. He wouldn't do anything like this!" Leafstar hissed, "Then where is he?!" A masculine voice at the entrance to Skyclan mewed, "I'm here."

Everyone's eyes turned towards Firestar. Firestar padded into the clearing and saw the mangled cat. He gagged and asked, "W-Who the hell did that?!" Leafstar hissed, "Where were you?!" Firestar answered, "I took a walk. I needed to clear my head." Leafstar spat, "Did you do this?!"

Firestar looked Leafstar in her eyes and she immediately sat down in submission, lust and hunger clear in her eyes, waiting to be told to do something. Firestar shook his head as he looked into her eyes and answered, "No. I didn't. Whoever did this, was trying to send a message. And what did I tell you about treating yourself with respect? You aren't a toy. Remember that."

Leafstar padded over to him and whispered in his ear, "Yes Daddy." Firestar blushed and looked away. He mewed, "Again. You aren't a toy." Firestar backed up from Leafstar and mewed loudly, "I will find whoever did this, and make them repent. You have my word." Sunnypelt watched Firestar's body language, but deduced nothing of interest. Firestar walked past Leafstar and looked at the dead cat. He mewed, "It looks like someone tortured them before killing them."

Bellaleaf asked, "Why would someone send a message like this and what does it mean? And why would they torture them before killing them?" Firestar answered coldly, "I assume the message they're sending is watch your back and don't trust anyone. The one who did this, was also saying that they're willing to do anything to get what they want. And the answer to your second question? For answers obviously." Firestar yawned and mewed, "I will be sleeping in my den if anyone needs me. And before someone asks why, I didn't sleep well last night." Firestar brushed through the crowd. He purposefully avoided Sunnypelt's eyes and headed to his den.

Sunnypelt watched Firestar head to their den and she muttered, "He isn't telling us something. He's hiding something. But the question is what? I know he couldn't do this. Hmmm."

Sunnypelt walked over to the body and looked for anything out of the ordinary. Her eyes widened in horror as she saw something. Sunnypelt quickly snagged what she found with her claws before anyone could see it. Her gaze shot up and she saw a sturdy tree branch directly above where the dead cat was. Sunnypelt swiftly mewed, "I gotta do something. I will be back." Sunnypelt sprinted out of Skyclan's camp.

Leafstar mewed, "The hell is her problem?" Sparrowpelt said, "I will go check on her." Hawkwing mewed, "Bellaleaf and Fidgetflake, prep the rogue's body for a vigil. I know they are our enemy, but no one deserves to go out like that. The absolute least we can do is give them a proper vigil and burial."

Once Sunnypelt was sure she was out of sight, she immediately turned left, her mind racing. She thought, 'H-He couldn't have! I know there are plenty of other cats with flame orange fur out in the world! I just need to check the tree branch above the body!' Sunnypelt looked at her paws and saw the tuft of flame-orange fur she snagged, still stuck to her claws.

Sunnypelt found the closest tree next to Skyclan's camp and she swiftly climbed it. Once she got to the top, she looked for the branch she saw and found it. She climbed onto it and looked down. She saw two cats prepping the rogue's body for a vigil, though they were small as an ant so she couldn't tell who was below her. Sunnypelt examined the branch and saw signs of a struggle. Sunnypelt tasted the air and sighed in relief as she didn't smell Firestar's scent.

Sunnypelt mewed, "Of course he didn't do it. I knew it!" She sighed in relief and shook her head. A voice behind her caused her to jump. "Any particular reason you're up here Sunnypelt?" a deep masculine said. Sunnypelt turned around and recognized Sparrowpelt. She mewed, "Just trying to figure out who did this."

Sparrowpelt mewed, "I get that, but why did you run out like you did? Wanna enlighten me?" Sunnypelt answered, "I was just making sure it wasn't Firestar. I would've felt awful if he did this. I am the one who brought him here after all." Sparrowpelt mewed, "If you weren't worried that he did this, I would've had questions. I am glad you could prove his innocence." Sunnypelt mewed, "Me too." She took a step towards Sparrowpelt, but lost her footing. She slipped off the branch and dug her claws deep into the branch. She was hanging off the branch, her claws dug deep into it. Sparrowpelt yowled with terror and fear evident in his voice, "SUNNYPELT NO! HOLD ON! I AM COMING OVER!" Sunnypelt's mind was filled with terror and panic as she mewed, "Stay back! STAY BACK DAD! THE DAMN THING IS SLIPPERY! I WILL GET BACK UP!"

With Firestar:

Firestar had fallen asleep but a yell of terror woke him up. He growled in annoyance, "I am trying to sleep. Disrespectful bastards." Firestar began to close his eyes again when he heard a masculine voice roar, "SUNNYPELT NO! DAMN IT! DAMN IT DAMN IT DAMN IT! SOMEONE, SAVE HER PLEASE!" Firestar got to his paws swiftly and bolted out of his den.

With Sunnypelt and Sparrowpelt:

Sunnypelt struggled to get back on the branch. She felt a paw slip and she was now hanging on by a single paw. Sparrowpelt took a slow step towards her and he stuck a paw out and mewed, "Dig your claws into my foreleg! Please!" Sunnypelt reached for her father's paw, but her other paw's claws lost their grip and she began to fall.

Sparrowpelt roared at the top of his lungs, "SUNNYPELT NO! DAMN IT! DAMN IT DAMN IT DAMN IT! SOMEONE, SAVE HER PLEASE!" Sparrowpelt was stuck in place because of shock and his eyes watered. He tried to jump off the tree to save his daughter, but he was stuck in place. He spotted a cat sprinting towards the clearing of Skyclan.

With Firestar:

Firestar exited his den and looked up. His heart sunk immediately as he realized Sunnypelt was the one falling from the tree. His exhaustion vanished from his body as it was replaced with adrenaline. Firestar's body felt light as a feather, even though it was heavy as a building just moments ago. He growled, "Oh hell no. She won't die here! I REFUSE TO LET HER DIE HERE!"

Firestar sprinted towards the clearing of Skyclan, praying he timed it right. Firestar leapt from the base of Leafstar's den, forelegs stretched out. Firestar grunted in pain as Sunnypelt fell into his outstretched paws. Firestar's pelt ignited with white hot flames as he pulled her close and forced himself on the bottom, holding Sunnypelt close to his body.

Firestar hissed, "This is gonna hurt." Firestar braced for impact. The wind was knocked out of him as he flew through the Nursery, yet he held Sunnypelt close to his body, shielding her from the impacts. When the duo finally touched the ground, they slid several feet. Firestar coughed up blood as his back struck a hill of stone behind him, ending up a few feet inside the hill.

Firestar's vision blurred and unblurred several times. He felt Sunnypelt's body pressed against his stomach and chest tightly. He sighed in relief as he mewed weakly, "I-I did it. S-She's okay."

Sunnypelt opened her eyes, and saw a flame-orange Tom in front of her. She blushed lightly as she realized that the tom had held her close to ensure that he took the brunt of the impacts. Sunnypelt looked into the Tom's emerald green eyes. The Tom flashed a smile and said weakly, "I-I'm glad you're okay."

The Tom's eyes closed and Sunnypelt yelled, "PLEASE FIRESTAR NO! I NEED A MEDICINE CAT HERE IMMEDIATELY!" Sunnypelt's eyes watered and she rested her head on Firestar's chest, her tears soaking his chest fur. Sunnypelt heard noise behind her and she hissed, "You better make damn sure he doesn't lose a life, Fidgetflake!" Several cats had walked into the hole in the hill of Stone and dragged Sunnypelt off of Firestar. She fought tooth and nail. Once she had fought the cats off, she clung to Firestar's body. Sunnypelt was forcibly dragged off of Firestar's body and she hissed, "PISS OFF! PLEASE WAKE UP FIRESTAR!"

In the Medicine Den a Few hours later:

Firestar's eyes opened slowly and he grunted in pain. His entire body felt like it had been hit by several Twoleg Monsters. Firestar looked around and saw a tuft of his fur beside him. Firestar smelled it. It smelled strongly of him and Sunnypelt. He sighed and muttered, "Please. Don't continue your investigation, Sunnypelt. You don't need to meet that side of me. I am doing what I must to get my answers."

A feminine voice mewed, "You're awake! Good." Firestar looked toward the source of the voice and recognized Frecklewish. He mewed weakly, "Indeed I am. W-Where is Sunnypelt?" Frecklewish purred in amusement and she said, "Right to the point. I respect it. Last I knew, she was in your den. She's okay. Just shaken up. You did nearly lose a life from saving her life."

Firestar mewed weakly, "Your point? I'd do it again in a heartbeat." Frecklewish chuckled and said, "I know you would. How are you feeling?" Firestar tried to get up, but his body screamed in agony. He answered weakly, his voice quiet, "I've definitely been better. I feel like I got hit by several Twoleg Monsters."

Frecklewish purred in amusement and said, "Makes sense. You did fly through the Nursery. After you flew through the Nursery, you also damn near broke an important part of the wall that conceals Skyclan. If you didn't feel like hell, I'd have questions."

Firestar managed to get to his paws and he hissed loudly in pain. Frecklewish mewed, "You really should rest until you're healed up." Firestar spat, "By tomorrow, I should be fine. I promise." Firestar began to limp towards the entrance of the Medicine Den. Frecklewish mewed, "I know you're the one who killed that rogue."

Firestar's aura immediately changed and he growled, "Did you tell anyone?" Frecklewish answered calmly, "No. I didn't. And you have my word that I won't. There's no need. The truth will come out eventually. Just tell me why you did it."

Firestar hissed, "I did it to get answers." Frecklewish mewed, "So you tortured them to get your answers. I see. Did you get the answers you seek?" Firestar spat, "No. I didn't. Just know that I will keep doing it until I find out where Tigerstar's bitch ass is. Don't be surprised if the bodies keep piling up in the clearing of this clan. I intend to make the Rogues known as Bloodclan stop trusting one another. And then just maybe, I will get the answers I seek from one of them." Frecklewish mewed, "You really think the rogues will betray Tigerstar and tell you his location?"

Firestar answered honestly, "No. I don't. However; I just need to find the right weakness to exploit. Once I figure that out, every single one will squeal like a pig." Frecklewish whistled and said, "Big plans I see. Was there a reason to kill them?"

Firestar growled, "Indeed there was. To prove a point. And that point is, I will do what I need to, to find him." Frecklewish said, "I know you think you're doing the right thing. But it won't bring back the ones you lost."

Firestar turned toward Frecklewish, his eyes full of grief and tears. He spat venomously, "I know it won't. Believe me, I know it won't bring them back! But Tigerstar needs to pay with his life; at the very least! I killed three of my mates! And ate their bodies to dispose of the evidence because he made me snap! I deserve to suffer too. That way, when I kill myself after I have that bastard's head on a pike, they will finally be able to rest in peace!" Frecklewish mewed matter-of-factly, "Tigerstar faked it all. Deep down, you know that. But you are far too blinded by rage, grief, hatred, and regret to see that. Hopefully, Sunnypelt will be able to save you."

Firestar opened his mouth to argue, but Frecklewish interrupted him as she mewed, "That's right. I know about the vision you got. I know Starclan sent you a vision about the one who will save you. You and I both know that it is about Sunnypelt. So let her save you!" Firestar argued, "Fuck that! Sure, the vision is about Sunnypelt; but at this point, if she knew what I was doing and what I am willing to do to get my answers, she might not be too keen to save me!" Frecklewish sighed and said, "You might be surprised." Firestar looked down in defeat and Frecklewish mewed, "You're cleared for your duties, by the way. Something tells me this won't be the only time I will have to nurse you back to health."

Firestar limped out of the Medicine Den and looked around. Frecklewish's words ate at him and he muttered, "You may be right, Frecklewish. However, I will keep doing what I need to do to get my answers. I no longer care how it affects me. Tigerstar's clock is running out of time as swift as a rabbit breeds. That's a fucking promise. And I don't break a promise!"

Firestar limped up to Leafstar's Den. Leafstar walked out and immediately sat down in submission as Firestar looked at her. Firestar spat, "We aren't fucking. We've talked about this." Leafstar begged, "Please. Just give me an order, and I will behave like a good personal slut!"

Firestar leapt at Leafstar and pinned her against her den. Leafstar's heart raced and she asked, "W-What is your command?" Firestar traced her body with his eyes and purposefully placed his hind leg between her hindlegs, inches from her core. Leafstar looked at the strong Tom before her. Firestar mewed, "Fine. Wanna play these games? Cool. Want your order?" Leafstar nodded and begged, "Please. Order me around. I am yours to command." She lowered her core onto Firestar's knee, but he moved it. Firestar mewed, "Not so fast. Your order is to learn how to respect yourself. Billystorm is no longer here, meaning you are single, correct?"

Leafstar nodded and opened her mouth to say something, but she blushed as Firestar placed his tail against her mouth. Firestar mewed, "Exactly. You're single now. Meaning you are no longer a toy. Your order is to learn to love yourself. Your order is to learn how to respect yourself. Once you figure it out, meet me in my den. And then, just maybe."

Leafstar's heart raced and she asked, "Just maybe what, Master?" Firestar didn't flinch and continued, "And then just maybe, you get what you want. Just maybe I decide you're worth the effort. Just maybe I'll decide you deserve to be fucked by me. Just maybe, I will decide to make you mine and only mine. Do I make myself clear?"

Leafstar whined with lust and lowered her core onto Firestar's knee again. He didn't move this time. Leafstar moaned quietly as her core sat on Firestar's knee and mewed, "Y-You make yourself clear, Master." Firestar hissed, "Good. Stay like a good girl. No moving, no nothing. Keep your pussy there. No making a sound, got it?" Firestar purposefully grinded his knee against Leafstar's core before Leafstar could answer. She didn't make a noise and Firestar felt his knee become drenched swiftly and mewed, "Good. Good job. You're obedient. I like it." Firestar moved his knee away from her core and Leafstar whined. Firestar hissed, "Get to work on what I said. That little teasing I did, is the only taste of me you will get until you realize you aren't a toy. And once you realize you aren't a toy, you'll finally realize I am not the one you want."

Firestar backed away from Leafstar and limped towards his den. Leafstar watched him leave, not moving until given the order. Firestar mewed over his shoulder, "You're dismissed. Remember to work on what I said." Leafstar got on all four paws again and said, "O-Of course, Master." Her mind raced a million miles a second and she mewed quietly, "F-Fuck. T-That was hot. The way he ordered me around. The way he made me wait. The mild degradation! The way he made me play into his paws. Bastard. B-But he ordered me to work on myself. He commanded me to learn how to respect myself. Bastard! It isn't as simple as that! But for some reason, I want to obey his wishes. I want to obey his commands. Not because he ordered me too. Not because he wants me too. Because I feel like he is right. I-I will do what he said, and try my best to become worthy of him." Leafstar put one of her front paws against her chest, right where her heart was.

Firestar limped into his den, the head of his shaft protruding from its protective sheath. He growled weakly, "Down boy. Until Leafstar proves otherwise, she certainly ain't worth it." Firestar's eyes wandered throughout his den and locked on Sunnypelt's sleeping body. He felt a smile creep onto his face and he mewed quietly, "I am so glad you're okay, Sunnypelt." Firestar felt something within him change and he laid behind Sunnypelt's body. Firestar pulled her close, making sure her back was against his chest.

Firestar's face flushed as Sunnypelt turned around in her unconscious state. The two cats' faces were now mere centimeters from one another. Sunnypelt's body pressed against Firestar's chest and she wrapped her paws around him. Sunnypelt pulled Firestar as close to her as she could, their bodies tightly against one another.

Firestar blushed bright red, but he didn't fight against Sunnypelt. He embraced Sunnypelt with his paws and rested his head on her shoulder. He quickly fell asleep. As his breathing began to match Sunnypelt's, a genuine smile crept onto his face as he was unconscious.

A Few Hours Later:

Sunnypelt opened her eyes slowly. She tried to move, but found she couldn't. Sunnypelt realized that someone was holding her. She gulped in fear, but the fear subsided as she saw a Flame-Orange Tom's chest. Sunnypelt felt something else coming on and she cursed, "Fucking heat. Not the time! I have been in heat for a couple days already. I've hidden it well, but being close to him like this, makes me crave him inside me! I need to get control of myself! He and I are just friends!"

Sunnypelt mewed quietly, "I-I know I fell asleep facing the other way. And I know he wouldn't move me into a position like this. M-Meaning…" She blushed lightly and continued, "Meaning my body did this while I was sleeping." Her eyes wandered towards Firestar's face and she gasped in disbelief as she saw a smile on Firestar's face.

Sunnypelt felt her heart skip a beat and mewed in shock, "A-A genuine smile?! Be still my beating heart! I never thought I'd have the chance to see his actual smile again after what happened!" Sunnypelt's eyes traced Firestar's body and she said somberly, "He's been through hell and then some. He used to be so full of life, but now, all I sense coming from his aura, is darkness, rage, hatred, regret, grief, and depression. Damn you Tigerstar! You broke a good one." Sunnypelt took a breath and mewed with determination, "But on my honor as a Warrior of Lionclan, I will fix him. I will reawaken the light within him. It's not a matter of if I do. It's a matter of when I do!"

Sunnypelt felt Firestar stir slightly and his eyes opened slowly. Firestar's face became bright red as he realized how close Sunnypelt was to him. Sunnypelt teased, "And my knight in shining armor awakes!" Firestar's jaw dropped in disbelief as Sunnypelt said a Twoleg saying. She mewed, "I talked to Sharptooth. He taught me a few Twoleg sayings." Firestar opened his mouth to apologize for how close they were, but Sunnypelt covered his mouth with her tail.

Sunnypelt mewed, "Don't apologize." She brought her face closer to Firestar's. Firestar mewed around Sunnypelt's tail, "Do you not realize how close we are?! We're practically mating! You don't want that!" Sunnypelt mewed honestly, "I know how close we are. I also know how close to mating we are. All it will take, is one sinful thought, and you will practically enter me. But, after everything you've done for me and for the Forest. I think the Hero has earned whatever happens next. Even if we are just friends, you've definitely earned whatever happens next with no strings attached. So. What will it be? Mating, or just holding one another?"

Firestar gulped quietly and swallowed. He mewed slowly, "You know I don't do one night stands. And this is nothing like you!" Firestar smelt a scent he recognized immediately and he cursed, "Of course you're in heat! Now it makes sense!"

Sunnypelt said lustfully, "I've been in heat for the past couple of days. I have been able to contain myself with my tail, but being this close to you, our tools for mating a mere mouse-length from one another is making me crave you. It's making me need you!" Firestar shook his head in disbelief and said, "I've made my decision. We aren't fucking. But." Firestar immediately pinned Sunnypelt below him. Her breathing became fast and erratic as she stuck her chest out and craned her neck to allow the Tom above her to see all of her. Firestar traced her body with his eyes and he laid on her. Firestar mewed, "But until you get control of yourself, I will lay on top of you. I managed to take complete control over my male instinct this past moon, meaning it will only come out when I want it to. Maybe, just maybe this level of physical contact will satisfy your need to be mated. It is sexual contact after all, because well, you do have eight tits. And I know they're extra sensitive currently. We are going to stay like this until you snap the fuck out of it! Don't struggle, or you might be surprised at the kind of sound that will come from your mouth."

Sunnypelt moaned quietly, Firestar's chest fur tickling her tits. She hissed, "W-Why are they so sensitive?!" Firestar mewed calmly, "Because. They're always sensitive, but when she-cats are in heat, their cores and tits become extra sensitive. Something about increasing the pleasure from being mated, thus making it the most pleasurable thing one can think of, thus making you want to give into your instincts more to produce that feeling once again, while continuing to keep cats away from total extinction because kits. Fuck if I know." Sunnypelt squirmed below Firestar and immediately got hit with a wave of ecstasy. She moaned loudly and immediately covered her mouth, her face becoming bright red as she couldn't believe such a noise came from her.

In The Medicine Den:

Fidgetflake and Frecklewish heard a loud moan. The two shook their heads and Frecklewish said, "It was only a matter of time before he couldn't fight off his male instinct any longer. I wonder who he's mating." Fidgetflake mewed, "Everyone definitely heard that, but don't underestimate Firestar. We both know he is unlike any Tom alive. I bet he isn't mating anyone." Frecklewish argued, "We both heard that! The entire clan heard that moan! You can not possibly believe that he isn't mating anyone!"

Fidgetflake's eyes glinted mischievously and he asked, "Wanna bet?" Frecklewish mewed, "Sure. What's the punishment?" Fidgetflake smirked.

Back in Firestar's Den:

Firestar mewed with warmth, "I tried to warn you." Sunnypelt hissed, "Hush you!" Firestar asked, "Is it helping?" Sunnypelt mewed slowly, "Y-Yeah. The last one helped a bit. But I still need you inside me!" Firestar answered, "No. You don't. That's just the heat talking. Save your virginity for someone who deserves it! You're only a virgin once!" Sunnypelt growled, "Damn it Firestar!" She opened her mouth to argue, but accidentally squirmed again. She moaned loudly and hissed, "Damn it!"

Firestar shook his head in amusement and mewed, "Keep moving like that and you're gonna finish." Sunnypelt mewed, "F-Finish? W-What do you mean?" Firestar answered, "Think of it as the climax of a battle. After the climax, the battle gets easier, or harder, depending on how the climax resulted and eventually, someone is declared the victor. Some shit like that. Or you could think of it like the end of a hunt. Depending on how much and/or what you killed to bring back to the clan, you could be satisfied, or left disappointed."

Sunnypelt spat, "If I finish, will I be better off? Will I be satisfied?!" Firestar mewed, "I honestly don't know. I would th…" He closed his mouth before he finished the sentence, but it was too late. Sunnypelt squirmed beneath him constantly, her loud moans of pleasure, drowning everything else out.

Sunnypelt kept squirming beneath Firestar, teasing and pleasing her tits with his chest. She moaned louder and louder. She felt something coming and she thought about stopping. She thought to herself, 'I-I can't believe I am doing this. With Firestar of all Toms! But if it was any other Tom, they would've mated me the second they smelled the heat. T-This feels good. Too good. Damn it! Firestar could've mated me here and now if he wanted too, and I wouldn't have judged him. Hell, because of the Heat, I want him to mate me! I also don't think I'd throw myself at him, even when I am in Heat, unless a part of me has fallen for him! However, I could be wrong. I have never been close to a tom while I am in heat, because of obvious reasons! Firestar could've taken my virginity, and I wouldn't have even been mad about it because of this damn heat! But instead; he's trying to help me keep my virginity so I can give it to the one I love, when I do fall in love. Here we are, him above me, keeping me pinned beneath him while lying on me to prevent me from trying to mate him. He even moved his hind legs and hips to avoid my core with his sheath! H-He's such a gentleman. A pervy gentleman, but a gentleman nonetheless. And I wouldn't do this unless I trusted him completely… I think so at least.. Especially since with one movement, and he can slide his member inside me, but he isn't doing it! He's allowing me to relieve my heat with him, because he doesn't trust any of the toms here to not mate me the moment they smell it and because he cares about me. That much is obvious. He almost died to save my life, multiple times now! And he has never asked anything of me for it! Know what, you win Firestar. You fucking win! I trust you completely with everything about me. My body included. You've earned my unfaltering trust by doing this for me and not mating me!' Sunnypelt continued to squirm below Firestar and she squirmed faster. Her moans echoed throughout Skyclan's camp as she finally released what she was holding back.

Firestar felt his chest and lower stomach become drenched as Sunnypelt yowled in ecstasy, drooling. Firestar felt his hind paws become drenched as well. Slowly, but surely, Sunnypelt's climax ended. Firestar looked at her and asked, "Feel better?" Sunnypelt panted, feeling completely relieved as she mewed, "Y-Yea. I do. Thank you Firestar. For not mating me." She blushed bright red and looked away. Firestar gently made her look at him and she got lost in Firestar's gaze.

Firestar mewed, "Of course. Any decent Tom would've done the same, however, they might've did it to just to get closer to you. It had to be me, because even though I said I can't be trusted, I trust myself to not take advantage of something like what happened. You should save your virginity for the one you love. Not someone like me. Now." Sunnypelt teased, "What if I fall in love with you?" Firestar blushed lightly and said, "I'd call you a fool. Especially if you do actually fall for me after everything I did back in the New Forest." Sunnypelt thought to herself, 'The thing is, I know you didn't do it. My mother told me everything I needed to know. Spottedleaf, Heathertail, and Olivenose are alive, Firestar. But I can't just come out and say it, or you'll push me away again. I need to convince you. I made a promise. I will save you from yourself, Firestar!' Firestar got to his paws and turned around. Sunnypelt purred in amusement and said, "I literally covered you in my juices. Think I actually care how much of my body you see anymore?"

Firestar mewed shyly, "M-Maybe so. But I am still a gentleman." Sunnypelt giggled and cleaned herself of her juices. She blushed as she tasted good. She thought to herself, 'I-Is that mint I taste? A-And apple? Interesting. I suppose it makes sense for it to taste good. I take care of myself.' Once Sunnypelt finished cleaning herself, she got to her paws and padded over to Firestar. Sunnypelt mewed, "Your turn." Firestar blushed bright red and asked, "And who's gonna clean me? Some of it is near my sheath. I doubt you want me to taste your juices. I think I'll head to the river nearby to clean up." Firestar turned towards Sunnypelt and Sunnypelt mewed, the slightest hint of flirtation in her voice, "Why don't you clean yourself and have a taste? It's the least I can do for you as you are the one who relieved my heat. And don't even think about asking me to clean around your sheath. We aren't that close." She winked and Firestar blushed bright red. He shook his head to clear it and said, "You sure? You should only let yourself and the one you eventually fall in love with to have a taste. I don't mind cleaning up by the river."

Sunnypelt brushed her flank against Firestar's and whispered into his ear, "I trust you. Go ahead. It's fine. Again. The least I could do is allow you a taste of the juices. It isn't like I'm saying you can get the nectar from the source, now am I? Besides, you need to keep your strength up. Who knows what kind of vitamins and minerals are packed in the juice?" Firestar sighed and said, "Fine. If it'll make you happy." Sunnypelt raised her voice and said, "It would."

Firestar sat down and grumbled quietly as he began to groom himself. He blushed at the taste and thought to himself, 'Apples and mint?! What the hell?! How in the world does she taste like this?! I know she takes care of herself, but gah damn!' Firestar greedily cleaned himself. Once he was finished, he realized Sunnypelt was watching him. Firestar looked away. Sunnypelt asked, "How was it?" Firestar answered shyly, "Delicious okay. Utterly delicious." Sunnypelt giggled and said, "I could tell that. Why didn't you savor it?" Firestar thought to himself, 'You really wanna play this game? Fine. Let's go!'

"Because I couldn't control myself. I haven't had a meal like that in ages. It was the absolute best meal I've had in quite a few moons. Hopefully, you give me another meal at some point, if not, I won't ever forget the moment." teased Firestar. Sunnypelt blushed bright red and she opened her mouth to say something, but Firestar continued, "It was almost as if a goddess herself made me a meal." Sunnypelt blushed more and looked down shyly. Firestar thought to himself, 'Check. Your move, rookie.'

Firestar stretched and mewed, "Come on. I am sure Hawkwing put us on a patrol. Hopefully, the entire clan doesn't think we mated. However, you were quite loud." Sunnypelt mewed shyly, "S-Shut up." Sunnypelt walked over to Firestar and they exited his den together.

Firestar stifled a chuckle as he saw the majority of Skyclan waiting outside his den. Sunnypelt walked out and saw the scene before her. She looked down in embarrassment. Frecklewish mewed, "Sounded like you two had quite a blast." Several of the cats nodded their agreement.

Leafstar padded forwards and smelled both of them. She mewed, "No scent of mating. Just excitement." Fidgetflake mewed, "Told you, Frecklewish."

Frecklewish grumbled, "Bite me. If they didn't mate, what the hell was with the moans we all heard?" Firestar chuckled and mewed, "That's a secret for Sunnypelt and I to know. No one else. Anyhow!" Firestar looked at Leafstar and hid a smile as she didn't sit immediately.

Firestar continued, "Are Sunnypelt and I on a border patrol or a hunting patrol?" Leafstar answered, "Yeah. Border patrol for our eastern border. If you two can get to all the borders and remark them, that'd be wonderful." Firestar nodded in understanding and turned towards Sunnypelt. Sunnypelt looked into his eyes and blushed again. Firestar mewed, "Come on. We got some borders to update." Sunnypelt and Firestar started heading towards the entrance of Skyclan.

A Week Later:

Firestar exited his den and saw the moon high in the sky. He muttered, "Alright. Time to try again." Firestar looked over his shoulder and saw Sunnypelt sleeping soundly. He called upon Sharptooth. Moments later, a deep voice said, "I'm here." Firestar ordered, "Good. Protect my den and make sure no one goes inside and make sure Sunnypelt doesn't leave. She doesn't need to see my dark side. I have some more justice to enact. I might actually get one to break this time. Unease and distrust has tainted all of Bloodclan's loyalty to Tigerstar." Sharptooth opened his mouth to say something, but Firestar had already run toward the entrance of Skyclan.

Sunnypelt was awake and heard the entire conversation between Firestar and Sharptooth. She muttered, "Justice to enact? What is he doing?" Sunnypelt waited for about thirty minutes before she exited the den. Sharptooth and her shared a glance. Sharptooth sighed and said, "I want to listen to him. Would you kindly go back to sleep?" Sunnypelt asked, "Hell no. Where is he?" Sharptooth gulped quietly and said, "Umm…. He's doing some night hunting." Sunnypelt mewed, "Don't lie to me, Sharptooth. Or I will tell him you failed and because of your failure, a Tom got in and mated me, taking my virginity that both he and I have worked so hard to protect." Sharptooth gulped again and said, "Y-You wouldn't!" Sunnypelt hissed, "Try me." Sharptooth gasped in fear and said, "Fine. Fuck it. I'd rather deal with him reprimanding me for this, than being potentially killed because I failed to keep you a virgin. He's at an abandoned Twoleg nest outside of the southern border. Please. Save him."

Sunnypelt took a breath to calm the unease she felt. She asked, "What is this dark side he doesn't want me to see?" Sharptooth said, his concern evident, "I knew you weren't sleeping. Let's just say, he is going down the wrong path. Starclan and I need you to save him from himself, before all is lost. A little under eleven moons left before he will be too far gone and even you won't be able to get through to him."

Sunnypelt nodded her understanding and said, "Thank you. I will tell him that I snuck past you and followed his scent." Sharptooth nodded his understanding and watched Sunnypelt take off toward the entrance of Skyclan. Sharptooth mewed quietly, "Don't be afraid of what you see, Sunnypelt. Firestar still is doing basic torture, but it's only a matter of time before he expands his horizons. He is willing to do something like this for revenge, but it isn't the worst he will do to get his vengeance. He is so torn between light and dark currently. Please. For the sake of our world, save him, before all is lost. Even Starclan is starting to become afraid of his wrath."

Sunnypelt followed Firestar's scent towards the southern border. Her eyes widened in disbelief as she arrived at the border and saw the unconscious bodies of several members of Bloodclan. She looked at the scene before her and said, "At least they're alive. But damn Firestar did a number on them. So he hasn't strayed too far from the correct path. I mean sure, some of them have broken bones, but he spared them."

Sunnypelt walked over to the Southern border and took a whiff of the air. She smelled Firestar's scent on the other side of the border. Sunnypelt mewed, "No going back if I do this. I trust him completely; nothing he does would damage my trust in him; however if I do this, it may damage his trust in me. But if I do this, I might be able to save him from continuing whatever it is he is doing." Sunnypelt sighed and steeled herself for whatever may come her way. She stepped over the border and followed Firestar's scent.

Sunnypelt followed Firestar's scent to an abandoned Twoleg nest. A yowl of pain caused her to freeze in place. She shook her head and walked towards the entrance. Her jaw dropped as she saw a cat tied up against the wall. She entered quietly and heard Firestar's voice say, "Now. We could do this the easy way, or the hard way. You tell me what I need to hear, and I will let you go. Or don't and I continue torturing you until I hear the answers. Where is Tigerstar?!"

The cat spat, "Fuck you! I ain't saying shit!" Sunnypelt walked further in the nest and peered around a wall, her heart racing, afraid that she'd be found out. Her eyes watered as she saw Firestar claw the cat's left flank deeply. She muttered, "F-Firestar no. T-This is wrong. I know you're driven by guilt, hatred, rage, and anger, but even you know this is wrong. There has to be another way for you to get the answers you seek!"

Firestar clawed the cat's left flank deeply, its scream of pain not causing him to hesitate. Firestar spat, "I could neuter you, if that's what you'd prefer. Unable to have kits and you'll be ridiculed by all of Bloodclan. Or you tell me what I need to hear and you leave this place as a true Tom still!" The tom's eyes widened in fear and he said, "A-Anything but neutering me! I don't want to go to the Cutter's!" Firestar chuckled evilly and mewed, "Who said anything about going to the Cutter's? I'll do the surgery myself."

Sunnypelt covered her mouth in fear and saw all sorts of things on the ground in the area where Firestar had the cat tied up. Firestar walked around the tools he had and said, "I could take a darker turn instead of clawing you and cauterizing the wounds instantly. Do you want that?!" The Tom mewed in fear, "N-No. B-But I can't tell you! Even if I want to! He'll kill me!"

Firestar hissed, "And I can do far worse than kill you! The sweet release of Death will be a fucking blessing compared to what I can and will do to you if you don't give me my fucking answers! So! What's it going to be? I could take a darker turn and start properly torturing you! I have so many tools to choose from! I used to be a Twoleg after all, meaning I know how to make these things work! Such as that." Firestar pointed towards a car battery with his tail. Firestar continued, "That's a Twoleg Monster heart and it will electrocute you if I hook you up to it. SO SPEAK!"

The Tom gulped in fear and said, "FINE! HE'S BY THE MOONSTONE!" Firestar's eyes widened and he muttered, "Of course. Where it all began. Apprentices had to journey to the Moonstone before they could become a Warrior back then." Firestar looked up and mewed, "Thank you." He padded up to the Tom, claws against its throat. The Tom hissed, "You said you'd let me go!" Firestar yelled, "I LIED!" A feminine voice that screamed his name caused him to stop.

Sunnypelt turned the corner and yelled, "FIRESTAR!" Firestar turned toward her and said, "I really wish you hadn't continued investigating." Sunnypelt gulped in fear and mewed, "What are you gonna do about it?! You gonna kill me? Rape me? Torture me too?!"

Firestar shook his head no and said, "I'd never do any of those to you. I care about you far too much to even think about doing any of that to you. I never wanted you to see this side of me." Firestar looked down in defeat and Sunnypelt mewed, "So what if I see this side of you?! I get that you're hurting, Firestar. But there is always another way to get the answers you require! This is too far! And deep down, you know that!"

Firestar mewed weakly, "So what if this is too far. Every second that Tigerstar keeps breathing, more parts of me die over and over again! It isn't like I want to do this! I have to do this!" Sunnypelt took a step toward Firestar and mewed warmly, "I know you don't want to do this. I know you're hurting. But please." She bolted over to him and knocked him against the wall. Firestar's eyes widened as his back was against the wall and he was on his hind legs. He went to move, but was pinned by Sunnypelt against the wall, her on her hindlegs as well as she mewed sadly, "But please. Allow me to help you. Allow me to heal your broken everything. Allow me to save you. I beg of you. I don't like seeing you like this! I don't like seeing you broken! Starclan damn it Firestar! COME BACK TO US! COME BACK TO THE FOREST! COME BACK TO ALL OF US! EVEN IF YOU CAN'T COME BACK TO EVERYONE AND THE FOREST CURRENTLY, COME BACK TO ME! PLEASE!" Sunnypelt's eyes watered and her tears flowed slowly. She blushed lightly as she felt Firestar's paw wipe her tears away gently.

Firestar said, "I never wanted to make you cry. Forgive me. However, I do need to say something." Sunnypelt looked into his gaze and Firestar continued warmly, "You're a fool. You're a damn fool! How could you fall for me, knowing what I did?" Sunnypelt retorted slowly, "Because first of all, I one hundred percent know you didn't do what you think you did. Secondly, I haven't fallen for you. Thirdly, and most importantly, I care about you, you damn mousebrain!"

Firestar chuckled weakly and said, "You told me to come back to you, if I couldn't come back to everyone and the forest currently. You said everything you needed to. Somewhere, deep down, there's a spark of love for me in you. You told me to come back to you after all." Sunnypelt blushed lightly and said, "I-It was a h-heat of the moment thing." Firestar shook his head and mewed, "If that's what will help you sleep, sure. It was only a heat of the moment thing. I got my answers." Firestar looked at the Tom he had tied up and said, "You're a lucky bastard. She just saved your pathetic life. You better thank her. I won't tell you her name, in case you and Bloodclan decide to come after her, but I will tell you this." Firestar said confidently, "She's under the protection of me. If any of you even lay a single claw on her, I will slaughter you ruthlessly. And if you think about attacking her in another way, I will kill all of you in a bloody fashion. I will neuter all of you and force feed your balls to you before I take your life. Do I make myself clear?"

The tom nodded in understanding, Firestar's terrifying Aura letting the Tom know that Firestar meant what he said. The Tom mewed in fear, "Y-Yeah. You make yourself clear. No one in Bloodclan will ever hurt her in that way. T-Thank you, random she-cat, for saving my pathetic life." Sunnypelt looked shocked but mewed, "You're welcome." She unpinned Firestar. The two got onto all four paws again. Firestar padded over to the tom he had tied up. Sunnypelt mewed calmly, "Before you cut him loose. You better promise me something Firestar."

Firestar looked at her and mewed, "What is it?" Sunnypelt mewed, "No more of this. You got your answers. Even if Tigerstar isn't there. Maybe, you'll find something else." Firestar opened his mouth to argue, but Sunnypelt mewed, "No ifs, ands, or buts. No more torture." She took a breath and continued in a slightly seductive manner, "If you do this ever again, no more meals from me." Firestar blushed and mewed, "Why would you want to give me more meals anyways?" Sunnypelt continued, her voice seductive, "Because maybe I liked it. You were quite greedy last time, so I know you enjoyed it. Maybe I liked it and enjoyed it as well when you tasted it. You'll never know. You can't force your way into my mind like Jayfeather can." Firestar blushed and thought to himself, 'Guess she put my ass in check this time. Well played.' Firestar mewed shyly, "Fine. No more torture. I promise, no more torture." Sunnypelt beamed and purred happily as she said, "Good."

Firestar looked back towards the Tom he had tied up and growled with authority, "Remember what I said. Make one wrong move, and your entire clan will be slaughtered by me. I will even revel in the death of your clanmates. Got it?" The tom nodded in fear and Firestar cut the ropes with his claws. The tom hit the ground and immediately bolted out of the Twoleg nest. Firestar looked at Sunnypelt and said, "Still trust me even though you saw a small flash of my darker side?"

Sunnypelt padded over and brushed her flank against his and mewed, "Nothing you do, will ever damage my trust in you. You earned my unfaltering trust when you helped me relieve my heat without mating me. Especially since you could've mated me, and I wouldn't have complained at that point. You showed me you are a gentleman. A pervy gentleman, but a gentleman nonetheless. Especially since after I made a mess, you turned around so I could clean myself and get up without you seeing those more…intimate parts of my body. I trust you with everything about me Firestar. My body especially. You've earned my trust and then some. Got it? No more stupid questions." Firestar blushed again and mewed, "G-Got it."

Sunnypelt mewed, "Now. We should head home before the clan thinks you and I snuck out to mate." Firestar nodded his agreement and asked, "Speaking of. How did you sneak past Sharptooth? And how did you find me?" Sunnypelt lied, "He left. I think he got summoned to Starclan to talk about their plan for you if you decide to slaughter Starclan after you kill Tigerstar and take your own life. As for how I found you? I tracked your scent, mousebrain." Firestar chuckled and said, "That's fair. And I see. Let's go home." Sunnypelt nodded and the two left the Twoleg nest, heading back to Skyclan.

Well damn! Talk about some changes eh? Changes to a lot of things. The change in Sunnypelt's and Firestar's relationship. Firestar's changes to his psyche and personality. How do you all feel about Firestar slowly going dark side? I happen to think it's poetic, but I want your opinions. Anyhow, may Starclan watch over you all! HappytheExceed16, logging out!
