I can't explain why I have been wanting to type more Warriors. I hope y'all enjoy.

Chapter 7: Beginning The Taming of the Beast

At the Gathering Island:

It had been four moons since the clans got trapped on the Gathering Island. Everyone has been eating fish and whatever they could scrounge up on the Island. Dovewing was sharing tongues with the other she-cats in Firestar's harem. Ivypool asked, "Got an update for us?"

Dovewing mewed, "Indeed I do. Firestar's currently with Sunnypelt, helping to relieve her heat." Honeypaw asked, "Have those two sealed the deal yet?" Dovewing shook her head no and said, "They haven't." Gasps of disbelief erupted from the she-cats around Dovewing and she continued, "I don't understand it either. Both of them clearly have feelings for one another. That much is obvious. However, I think Firestar is afraid of falling in love again because of the dream Tigerstar made him have."

Silverstream mewed, "Makes sense. Firestar has been close to breaking ever since the death of Ashfoot. Of course Tigerstar sent Firestar that dream, and then made it appear like Firestar actually did it the next morning. It was far more than enough to push Firestar over the edge. It completely and utterly broke him. We all know that Spottedleaf, Heathertail, and Olivenose are alive. Firestar knows it too, deep down. But he is far too blinded by his rage, hatred, anger, grief, and distraught. Tigerstar picked quite an opportune time to enact his plan to get Firestar to kill himself."

Windstream mewed, "I am a little hurt that Firestar is actually considering killing himself after he dispatches of Tigerstar, even though he has us and his kits to come back home too." Mistystar mewed in understanding, "Keep in mind, he is considering it in order to protect us and the forest from himself, because he truly believes that he killed Spottedleaf, Olivenose, and Heathertail; and that he ate their corpses afterwards to prevent being found out. I mean sure, he is also considering it for his own selfish reasons. But it makes sense. Firestar has been through a lot since he was born. I honestly believe he can't handle anymore pain."

Splashfur mewed, "We just need to believe in Sunnypelt. She'll bring him back to us, before he succumbs to his personal darkness that is utterly overpowering his light without much a fight. We also have to remember that Firestar always comes back to us. He will return to us. He always does."

Dovewing said, "Exactly. I still can't believe he actually tortured and killed cats to get the answers he seeks." Honeypaw stated, "I believe it. Firestar is currently at a point where he will stop at nothing, to find and kill Tigerstar. That much is obvious. I am just glad Sunnypelt was there to stop him from going full dark-side."

Ivypool mewed, "And how do we feel about Firestar helping Sunnypelt relieve her heat and him getting a meal out of it?" All the she-cats answered at once, "It doesn't bother us. It isn't like he's mating other she-cats. However, if things keep going the way they appear to be going, Firestar and Splashfur will fall in love and mate. He will still be loyal to us, because he only mated a she-cat he loves. It isn't like he's mating every whore that walks his way. Look at Leafstar and Bellaleaf."

Lionstar mewed, "True. But twelve of us? Talk about a lot of attention from she-cats. Can he truly handle it all?" Mistystar answered with a purr, "If anyone can handle it, it'd be Firestar." The she-cats purred in agreement. Lionstar asked, "And how about the Moonstone? Any sign of Spottedleaf, Heathertail, and Olivenose there, Dear?" Dovewing shook her head and said, "No. However, I have been hearing Tigerstar brutally beat down the Tom that told Firestar where to go to find him. The Tom's name is Boneclaw. I do have some good news about those three though. Anytime I spread my senses out to them, which is almost hourly unless I am sleeping; no scent of mating and I can now kinda see around the area because of a dim light."

Silverstream mewed, "Of course there wouldn't be a scent of mating, or Firestar would've slaughtered all of Bloodclan and Tigerstar already. I think Tigerstar is stalling to buy time to enact another plan. What can you see with the dim light?"

Dovewing answered, "I can tell that they are in a tunnel system. But I could've sworn there were no tunnels back in the Old Forest." Honeypaw thought for a second and mewed, "Maybe Tigerstar and Bloodclan made a tunnel system to confuse Firestar."

Dovewing said, "Not a bad idea, but Firestar would've found signs of tunnel digging already. My best bet is that there was always a tunnel system in the cave of the Moonstone, but no one has found it; until Tigerstar and Bloodclan took it over."

With Ragnar:

Ragnar had followed the trail to the Mountains. Ragnar growled, "You're lucky I love you like a brother, Firestar. Asshole, making me come all this way to find you. I'm lucky the constant rain hasn't completely gotten rid of the trail. Honestly, it's a fucking miracle."

Ragnar looked at the mountain and muttered, "Motherfucker! I gotta be getting close to Slayer's whereabouts. I'm disappointed in myself that it took me almost two months to completely piece together the scene I found in Thunderclan's clearing. The dog blood was placed purposely to make it seem like Slayer lost control of himself and killed Heathertail, Olivenose, and Spottedleaf. The drag marks are from the three being dragged out of his den. Not scent of sex means no one got fucked. The strange scent I was smelling was Lavender. It was used to hide the scents of the ones who actually committed the despicable crime. The blood around the sandy hollow was also dog's blood. The chunks of flesh I found there were from fresh-kill that Firestar ate the night before the incident. The pungent scent of vomit tells me that Firestar vomited when he looked into the puddle and saw himself. The second set of almost faded prints next to Firestar's must be Sunnypelt's. I followed them to the River near Riverclan's territory. It was completely flooded and I couldn't see the stepping stones, so I had to improvise. It took me a week to get around the river and here I am now. Four moons after the Gathering Island was flooded. Fuck me!" Ragnar began to trek towards the mountain.

With Sunnypelt and Firestar:

Firestar had finished helping relieve Sunnypelt of her heat. She laid below him, panting from pleasure. Firestar's lower half of his body was completely drenched from Sunnypelt's climax. He chuckled and got to his paws as he mewed, "You're starting to last longer and your climax covers more of my body than before. Makes sense." He turned around and Sunnypelt mewed slowly, "Such a gentleman. We've been in Skyclan for three moons now. You've been helping me relieve my heat since the first moon. At this point, I'd be surprised if my core didn't brush against you while you laid on me to help relieve my heat at least once. At this point, with how you've helped me and I've helped you, I want you to look." Firestar blushed brightly and muttered, "Y-You sure?" Sunnypelt mewed, "Actually. Give me a second. Clean yourself up a bit alright? Enjoy the meal."

Firestar purred quietly as he cleaned himself of Sunnypelt's juices. He thought to himself, 'Apple and mint. Quite the combo, yet delicious as always. Kind of reminds me of Applemint jelly from my Twoleg past.' He heard Sunnypelt cleaning herself up too. Sunnypelt mewed, "Turn around for a quick second." Firestar turned around, only to feel lips press against his. He blushed brightly and kissed back out of instinct. The two separated to take a breath after several seconds, a small string of their saliva had formed together and stayed airborne between the two, connected to both of their lips. Firestar blushed more as he said shyly, "S-Sunnypelt why?"

Sunnypelt hastily lied, "I tripped just as you turned around and our lips met each other." Firestar realized she was lying and he shook his head in disbelief as he mewed shyly, "Quite a coincidence that you tripped just as I turned around. Who are you trying to fool? Me? Or yourself?"

Splashfur mewed seductively, "Neither. However, at least now I know that I taste good even with my taste mixed into your saliva. Actually, I think it made me taste better. What are your thoughts about my taste mixed with my saliva?" Firestar replied slowly, "Quite phenomenal. It definitely tasted better with your saliva." Sunnypelt blushed lightly and mewed seductively, "Good to know. Maybe we should mix my taste more often." Firestar blushed bright red and looked down shyly. He thought to himself, 'Yet again, she puts me in check. I wonder how long until one of us checkmates the other.'

Firestar regained his composure swiftly and mewed, "Let's head back to Skyclan. We will be heading to the Moonstone soon." Sunnypelt said, "Of course. One more thing before we go though." Firestar looked into her eyes and asked, "Yes?"

Sunnypelt looked at her paws and shifted them in nervousness as she asked shyly, "H-How about from now o-on when you help me r-relieve my heat, you use your mouth and tongue as well?" Firestar blushed bright red and said shyly, "A-Are you sure about that? I might accidentally get too into it and lick your core on accident!"

Sunnypelt mewed timidly, "Accidents happen. I d-don't m-mind if you do." Firestar gasped in disbelief and looked down shyly as he thought to himself, 'We are closer to one of us being put in checkmate than I originally thought! W-Wait a damn minute. W-Why am I actually considering agreeing to what she asked of me?!'

He gasped loudly in disbelief as he realized exactly why he was considering her offer. Firestar thought to himself, 'N-No. I-It can't be! A-Am I falling for her?! NO! I-I don't want to risk her life like this! B-But I can't help it at this point. Her and I have built our relationship over the past eight moons! I-It's only a matter of time before her and I actually fall for one another completely at this point because we are always there for one another, through the highs and lows. We are always helping one another and saving one another as well. We sleep in the same den separated from others! We talk to one another so much, learning about one another and continue to get closer to one another! Her and I have become practically inseparable! I-It really is just a matter of time before one of us says those three magic words to the other. I can't even break this off or push her away, because I honestly don't want to! FUCK! STARCLAN DAMN IT! WHY?! YOU SICK FUCKS! WHY WOULD YOU ALLOW ME TO FEEL LOVE JUST A LITTLE BIT ONCE MORE?! DO YOU ALL PLAN TO TEAR IT AWAY FROM ME?! JUST LIKE YOU DID WITH HEATHERTAIL, OLIVENOSE, AND SPOTTEDLEAF?! ANSWER ME YOU BASTARDS!'

Firestar heard Sunnypelt's voice say weakly, "D-Did I ask for that too soon?" Firestar was ripped from his thoughts because of how sad she sounded and he looked at her. Firestar saw that she was looking at the ground. Firestar thought to himself, 'I know she thinks she just ruined everything by asking. I need to comfort her and tell her it's okay and that things are not ruined between us. However, I will warn her that it is far more intimate and sexual. Maybe she will see sense and realize it's a bad idea to get that close to me.' Firestar gently made Sunnypelt look at him with his tail and he mewed, "No. Not too soon. If you are sure you're okay with it, I will do it. It will help relieve your Heat more effectively than just my chest rubbing against your tits. It is more intimate and sexual however. Are you absolutely sure this is what you want? Doing this will make us closer than you expect. And if Tigerstar gets to me and makes me snap, you will be at high risk of getting injured, or worse; killed."

Sunnypelt blushed as she gazed into Firestar's Emerald Green gaze and she mewed confidently, "Yes. It is what I want. I am certain of it. If you do snap because of him, I promise to you, I will get through to you before you hurt me. I will bring you back to me at the very least." Firestar blushed again and mewed, "Alright. I will use my mouth and tongue as well from now on." The two nodded in agreement and began to head towards Skyclan.

That Night:

Firestar was struggling to sleep because of the conversation he and Sunnypelt had earlier that day. He looked at his paws and muttered, "Damn it. I won't ever forgive myself if I hurt her because I snap. I will straight up kill myself before I kill Tigerstar if I snap and hurt her, or worse, kill her." Firestar sighed and closed his eyes.

In Firestar's Dream:

Firestar opened his eyes and saw nothing but darkness. Firestar looked around, fear building within him that he was about to get a tragic vision. Light appeared before him and he muttered, "The fuck?" He began to walk towards the light. Once he got to the edge of it Firestar took a step over, but was sent flying backward. Firestar hissed in pain as he landed on his back and skidded a few feet. Firestar got up and he approached the edge again. Once he got to the edge, Firestar sat down. His eyes widened in disbelief as a cat that looked exactly like him appeared. It started walking toward him.

Until later Specified, LF will be used for the Firestar on the light side of the area in the dream and DF will be used for the Firestar on the dark side of the area in the dream. I know it's lazy, but it will also help you all understand which Firestar is talking.

LF walked towards the edge and mewed, "About damn time you and I met face to face." DF growled, "Who the hell are you?!" LF responded, "I am you, but better." DF opened his mouth to argue, but LF interrupted him, "I'm sure you're wondering how we are able to speak face-to-face. The answer is, because I am far stronger than you!"

DF spat, "Fuck is that supposed to mean? I thought I buried you!" LF laughed and said, "You did bury me. However, your complete concentration to keep me buried wavered for just a second earlier today. And that was all I needed to break free! The reason I was able to break through" LF snapped and continued, "Just like that, is because I am stronger than you could ever hope to be! It took you complete concentration to keep me buried. It took me almost no effort at all to keep your ass buried when I was in control!"

DF spat, "If you're so strong, how did I get control so easily?!" LF answered, "Good question. You took control because my hope was completely obliterated the moment we had that dream and it happened. However! You and I both know that we never killed them! We never ate their corpses either! AND YOU KNOW IT! BUT YOU'RE SO BLINDED BY YOUR RAGE, HATRED, GRIEF, ANGER, AND DISTRAUGHT, THAT YOU CAN'T SEE THAT TIGERSTAR PLANNED ALL OF THIS! YOU'RE GONNA KILL YOURSELF AFTER YOU KILL HIM RIGHT?!" DF nodded and LF continued, "YOU'RE PLAYING RIGHT INTO HIS PAWS YOU DUMBASS!" DF hissed and asked, "What caused my control to waver just a smidgen?"

LF answered, "Another good question. You deserve a cookie!" LF checked his pelt and DF eyed him curiously. LF clicked his tongue and said, "Damn. I'm fresh out! And to answer your question, your control wavered a smidgen because a certain someone started to fall in love again, after swearing love off for good because of that dream and incident. Do you remember the Life of Hope we were given by Leopardstar? We lost all hope so you basically threw that one in the trash! You're damn lucky we haven't died yet and lost that life! However, the good news is that a sliver of hope was lit within you again because of Sunnypelt. You've allowed yourself to love again because of her. She ignited that spark that we used to have!" DF grumbled and said, "I'm gonna wake up now." LF snapped again just as DF tried to wake up. DF didn't wake up and he eyed LF with anger.

LF laughed and said, "That's cute. Nice attempt, but you won't be waking up anytime soon." DF hissed, "WHY NOT?!" LF answered, "Because I am preventing you from waking up." DF spat, "HOW?!" LF continued, "Because I am stronger than you! This face to face meeting is all I needed to keep your ass here. And until I get through to you, you will stay here." DF spat, "WHY DO YOU CARE?!"

LF argued, "Because someone needs to get through to you! You aren't capable of rational thought at the moment! I AM THE ONE WHO CAN THINK RATIONALLY, AND I KNOW THAT TIGERSTAR TRULY FAKED IT ALL! WHY WOULD HE GIVE US A VISION AND IT MAGICALLY HAPPENS THE NEXT DAY?! TO GET US TO BREAK YOU IDIOT! IT'S ALL A PART OF HIS PLAN TO GET REVENGE ON THE CLANS AND FOREST!" DF mewed sadly, "B-But I saw the chunks of flesh in our mouth. I saw our pelt drenched in blood. Everything happened just like the vision!"

LF argued, "The chunks of flesh were from the fresh-kill we ate before we went to bed, dumbass! And the blood?! Don't get me started on the blood! It was dog blood you fucking ape! If we had just taken a second to smell the blood, none of this would've happened!" DF argued, "Tigerstar can't give people visions!"

LF sighed and said, "By Starclan you're stupid. First of all, the Dark Forest that some cats went to? A VISION FROM TIGERSTAR THAT HE TURNED INTO A REAL THING BECAUSE OF HIS ANGER! Secondly, Tigerstar was dead for the Moons before we were born! You really think he didn't pick up a few tricks and figured out how to give visions?! You're an idiot if you think he can't do that! Thirdly, there was no such thing as the Dark Forest. Only the Place of No Stars. Tigerstar turned a piece of the Place of No Stars into the Dark Forest, you absolute fucking neanderthal! Notice I didn't call you a homo-sapien? BECAUSE YOU'D NEED TO BE SEMI-INTELLIGENT TO BE CALLED THAT! BUT BECAUSE YOU'RE BLINDED BY YOUR RAGE, GRIEF, HATRED, ANGER, AND DISTRAUGHT, YOU AREN'T CAPABLE OF THINKING INTELLIGENTLY!"

LF took a breath and continued, "You've also killed when there was no reason too. You broke Code Fourteen! And the cherry on top? You tortured cats to get your damn answers, when had you just thought about it rationally for a fucking second, you would've figured out that Spottedleaf, Olivenose, and Heathertail were all still alive! And worst of all, you are becoming just like Tigerstar! You're becoming a monster all for the sake of Revenge! You're becoming a fucking hypocrite! We swore to never become like Tigerstar! You're acting like you chose the path of Domination, instead of the path of Hope! You've sullied our name. YOU MADE US PATHETIC!" LF took a breath to calm himself and continued, "No more. I will wrest control back eventually and get to work on redeeming ourselves the moment I do!" DF spat with rage, "Then where the fuck are they?! They sure as hell aren't in the New Forest! And don't you dare say that!"

LF answered sadly, "I don't know. I can't tell you that because I don't know. And I stand by what I said about you! BECAUSE IT'S ALL TRUE!" DF argued, "You don't know where they are because they're dead, you dumbass! THEY DIED BY OUR CLAWS AND TEETH!" LF retorted, "There's one way to figure it out. ASK STARCLAN!" DF spat, "To hell with Starclan! THEY CAUSED ALL OF THIS! THEY KNEW WE WERE GONNA SNAP AND KILL THEM! THEY HAD OUR WHOLE LIFE PLANNED OUT! STARCLAN WILL JUST LIE TO US TO SAVE THEMSELVES!"

LF argued, "WHY IN THE FUCK WOULD THEY GIVE US THE POWER WE HAVE, JUST TO TOY WITH US?! SOMEONE WITH OUR POWERS, COULD DESTROY STARCLAN EASILY AND TAKE CONTROL OF THE WORLD OF WARRIORS! SO WHY WOULD THEY RISK BEING SLAUGHTERED BY US?! AND IF YOU SAY BECAUSE THEY'RE THE GODS OF THIS WORLD, SO WHY WOULDN'T THEY DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT TO GET THEIR ROCKS OFF, I SWEAR ON MY LIFE THAT I WILL GIVE YOU THE BEATDOWN OF A LIFETIME!" DF grumbled angrily and paced around on the edge of his side.

In The Waking World:

Sunnypelt opened her eyes as the sun hit her pelt. She felt Firestar's chest on her back and she purred lightly. Immediately, Firestar gasped in pain. Sunnypelt got to her paws and she examined his body and said, "No visible injuries. Maybe he's just exhausted." Sunnypelt looked at Firestar's face and saw it was contorted in pain. She mewed, "That can't be good." Firestar's face relaxed for a moment, but he growled in pain. Sunnypelt mewed hastily, "F-Firestar? FIRESTAR!" She began prodding him gently in an attempt to wake him, but to no avail. She immediately hollered, "I NEED A MEDICINE CAT STAT!"

In Firestar's Dream:

DF eyed LF with anger and tried to leap across the edge. He was sent back flying backwards several fox-lengths and landed harshly. DF coughed up blood and LF shook his head as he said, "Dumbass. You're far too weak to breach my side. I however…" LF padded into the dark side and batted DF upside the head. LF continued, "can cross into your side without too much effort. Know what this means?" LF pinned DF to the ground and DF struggled to get out, but found he couldn't. DF asked in pain, "What does it mean, you bastard?!" LF hissed, "It means that you're stuck with me now. Get used to it. And anytime Sunnypelt brightens that spark of hope within us, I will get stronger and stronger until eventually, when you attempt to take our life, I will break free and keep us alive. I can and will break free at that point, because something tells me that you'll finally believe that Spottedleaf, Heathertail, and Olivenose are actually alive. And when that happens, I will regain control of us and hold our insides in while Spottedleaf works her magic to keep us alive! And because I am infinitely stronger than you, we won't lose a single life. Do you understand me?!"

DF submitted and hissed, "FINE! I SUBMIT! YOU'RE STRONGER THAN ME! I UNDERSTAND YOU! LOUD AND CLEAR!" LF hissed, "You're goddamn right I am. You're welcome in advance. Since I am now awake and free of your burial, expect to think rationally at the very least! Also. Our harem knows you're alive. Your lock on the mind channel unlocked for a bit after you talked to Sunnypelt about the death of her mother. The fact you didn't feel it unlock, goes to show just how broken you've become. Fucking idiot!" LF unpinned DF and crossed back into the light side. He sat down and growled, "Get up! You're fucking pathetic. Hopefully since I have slight control now, I can begin making us less pathetic." DF hissed, "Fuck you!" LF retorted, "That's clever. Why don't you take a look at the cats closest to us? I am sure you will find one that we want to fuck and one who's willing to fuck us!"

DF blushed and said, "I refuse to take advantage of Sunnypelt that way!" LF laughed and said, "Same here! Know why? Because you and I are one and the same. Two sides of the same coin. I have begun falling for her as well, just like you have! Notice how your first thought was Sunnypelt?" DF nodded and LF continued, "Because we love her, you dumbass! Hell! Even Leafstar has caught our attention just barely because she's actually working on herself. And we don't fuck any she-cats unless we love them correct?"

DF nodded again and LF laughed and said, "Because we don't do one-night stands! See. You and I aren't so different. We are one and the same, just two different sides. Now! I do believe I've gotten through your thick skull even just a little, so enjoy waking up! This conversation was fun. Remember, I am now awake, so expect to think rationally occasionally at the very least! Make sure to ask Frecklewish and Fidgetflake about the visions' they've had about us!" LF snapped once more and DF felt himself being ripped out of the dream.

No more LF and DF. At least for a little while. Here we go again!

In the Waking World:

The moon was high in the sky. Sunnypelt was in the medicine den, laying in Firestar's mossbed with him. She heard Firestar gasp for breath and she immediately got to her paws.

Firestar's eyes slightly opened and he groaned in pain. His eyes adjusted to the dimness of the Medicine Den. He blushed lightly as he recognized the blue-eyes above him that were full of concern and he mewed quietly, "Sorry for worrying you." Firestar grunted in pain as Sunnypelt leapt onto his body and covered him with her body. Sunnypelt hissed, "Don't you ever do that to me again! I thought I lost you! MOUSEBRAIN!" She blushed as she felt Firestar embrace her and pull her tight against his chest.

Firestar said, "I won't. And you won't lose me until I take my own life after I kill Tigerstar." Sunnypelt's eyes watered and she said, "W-What if you just kill him and don't do that?" Firestar snorted in amusement and answered sadly, "Come on now. We both know I can't do that." Firestar heard two cats approach them, and Firestar immediately set Sunnypelt on the ground next to him and leapt to his feet, teeth bared to defend them.

His hostility vanished as he recognized Fidgetflake and Frecklewish. Frecklewish laughed and said, "Easy Killer. We aren't going to attack you and Sunnypelt." Fidgetflake eyed them and said, "Glad to see you're back on your paws."

Firestar asked as he licked his chest fur in embarrassment, "How long was I out?" Sunnypelt mewed from behind him, "You've been out since you fell asleep after helping me with my Heat. So, about a day." Firestar looked down and asked, "I do apologize about that. I do have a question for you two though."

Figetflake and Frecklewish eyed Firestar curiously and Firestar continued, "I want to know about the visions you've both had of me." Both medicine cats gasped in shock and Fidgetflake mewed, "We can't tell you about that and you know it. It would break the Medicine Cat Code." Firestar opened his mouth to say something and a feminine voice behind him mewed, "Tell him."

Sunnypelt watched as Leafstar walked into the Medicine Den. Fidgetflake and Frecklewish looked at their leader in disbelief. Frecklewish opened her mouth to say something, but Leafstar mewed, "It isn't a threat to our clan if you tell him. After all, Firestar is the leader of Lionclan. That means he is our leader too."

Fidgetflake responded, "But Skyclan isn't a member of Lionclan!" Firestar looked at Leafstar, curiosity clear in his eyes and Leafstar said, "I already told Firestar that Skyclan will join with Lionclan. This place is no longer safe for us, so after Firestar kills Tigerstar, and if he doesn't end his life after he kills Tigerstar, he will lead us to the New Forest. However, if he does take his own life, Sunnypelt will lead us to the New Forest. Because the New Forest is safe. It is protected by all the clans and Firestar afterall. We can finally begin to restore our lost numbers there. There are only eighteen members of Skyclan alive now, out of thirty-three. We haven't seen Tree in moons, so we can assume he's dead or left us. On the slim chance he is helping Ghost Cats cross over to the other side, we will leave him something to help him find us after we leave for the New Forest. I am sure the Ghost Cats will tell him where we are."

Firestar mewed curiously, "Ghost Cats?" Leafstar nodded and said, "Tree has the special ability to see and commune with cats who have not joined Starclan, and instead are stuck here on the material plane. Tree helps them cross over to the other side."

Firestar mewed, "S-So the show Supernatural that I watched as a Twoleg, is real?! Sonuvabitch!" Firestar thought to himself, 'After I kill Tigerstar, guess I will be salting and burning his fucking body to prevent his ass from coming back before I kill myself.' Leafstar mewed, "You used to be a Twoleg?"

Firestar snapped back to reality from Leafstar's voice and said, "Y-Yeah. I was murdered in cold-blood in my Twoleg life when I was sixteen years old and reincarnated as the Warrior you see before you to prevent others from going through what I went through as a Twoleg." Leafstar thought for a second and said, "Well. If you were brought back, I assume you were a decent Twoleg if Starclan plucked your soul before you passed to the other side and placed in your current body. And the fact that they did, tells me that you didn't do what you think you did. Now. Fidgetflake, Frecklewish, and Sunnypelt. Tell Firestar the visions you had of him."

Firestar eyed Sunnypelt curiously and asked, "You had a vision about me?!" Sunnypelt mewed shyly, "How did you know I had a vision, Leafstar?" Leafstar smiled and said, "Because Starclan told me. They are currently trying to find Firestar for something. So, you tell him your vision first."

Sunnypelt looked at Firestar and mewed, "To summarize the vision I had, Starclan is in a state of Emergency because of you. Starclan has no idea what happened and what caused you to curse them. Starclan also confirmed to me that I am the one who will save you from yourself. They also confirmed that Heathertail, Spottedleaf, and Olivenose are not in Starclan. And since those three never did anything to damn themselves to the Place of No Stars, Starclan knows they are alive."

Firestar took in Sunnypelt's words and thought to himself, 'T-They're alive?! I-It can't be! I had that vision!' Firestar was able to think rationally for a second and thought to himself, 'That bastard wants me to break so he can enact his revenge on the forest!' The ability to think rationally vanished and Firestar mewed, "Well…. They could've lied to you."

The ability to think rationally came again and Firestar thought to himself, 'But why would they bring me back and give me the gifts I have, just to toy with me? It doesn't make sense!' The ability to think rationally vanished and Firestar mewed, "Alright. If what you're saying is true, then why can't Starclan find Heathertail, Olivenose, and Spottedleaf?"

Sunnypelt mewed, "Starclan has no idea. But they do know those three are alive." Firestar sighed and said, "I want to believe you, Sunnypelt. Believe me, I do. And because of our relationship, I know you wouldn't lie to me, but until I see proof that those three are alive. I will still destroy Starclan after I kill myself after killing Tigerstar, however, instead of just sparing the kits, I will spare half of Starclan and the kits as well." Fidgetflake mewed, "Better than I thought we'd get."

Fidgetflake and Frecklewish explained the visions they got of Firestar; to him. Once everyone had told Firestar the visions they got of him, he looked down in thought. Firestar looked up and said, "So. Starclan told all of you that I was coming? Starclan also foresaw the battle where I realized that Sunnypelt was in fact the one who would save me. Interesting."

Sunnypelt mewed, "Well. Firestar and I have a request." Leafstar purred in amusement and said, "I will order the clan to not go into the forest tonight. You two have fun." Both Firestar and Sunnypelt blushed bright red. Sunnypelt looked down in embarrassment and began shifting her paws. Firestar regained his composure first and said, "No. That isn't happening. Last I checked, Sunnypelt and I are just friends. Well. More like best friends at this point. Sunnypelt and I need Traveling Herbs. Her and I are journeying to the Moonstone tomorrow."

Frecklewish gasped in disbelief. She mewed, "T-The Moonstone is just a myth! It isn't real!" Firestar said, "Who told you it wasn't real? They lied to you. It's real. And I know where it is." Fidgetflake asked enthusiastically, "Can you tell us where it is? Can you show us?!"

Firestar shook his head no and mewed, "I can not. It is far too dangerous. The only reason Sunnypelt is going with me is because I know she'd follow me after I leave tomorrow to begin the journey. I'd rather her go with me so I know she'll be safe, rather than risk her following my scent."

Sunnypelt eyed Firestar and said, "He isn't wrong. I would've followed him regardless. At this point, he and I have become truly inseparable." Firestar blushed lightly. Fidgetflake asked, "If you want her to go with you to make sure she's safe, why can't the rest of us in the Medicine Den go with you? You'd be able to keep us safe." Firestar looked down and answered somberly, "Because if I snap, only Sunnypelt will be left alive. And me getting blood on my pelt, makes me lose control as well. You three are not allowed to go, because I am trying to keep you all safe from me. Once I can trust myself again, I will happily take you three there. If it takes too long, then someone will need to lead you to the New Forest and show you the way to the Moonpool." Leafstar mewed, "I don't doubt it. Alright. It's settled then." Leafstar left the Medicine Den. Fidgerflake and Frecklewish headed over to their storage of herbs and began making the parcel of Traveling Herbs.

After the Medicine Cats had prepared the Traveling Herbs, each of them set a parcel in front of Firestar and Sunnypelt. Fidgetflake mewed, "Remember. Eat this tonight before you two go to sleep. They should be digested for the most part, come morning. They will supply you both with the energy for the journey."

Firestar mewed, "Thank you. I am sorry you three can't come this time, but I am afraid that if we get into combat and my pelt gets bloody, no one will survive aside from Sunnypelt and myself, unless my pelt gets washed of all blood on it before I get to you three." Firestar was able to think rationally for a split second. His mind raced to the Bible he read as a Twoleg and a verse stuck out to him. He thought to himself, 'James 4:8 "Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you of two minds."'

Firestar was still able to think rationally and his mind immediately raced to another Bible verse. He thought to himself again, 'Isaiah 1:16 "Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean; remove the evil of your doings from before my eyes; cease to do evil."'

Firestar gasped as he hissed, "OF COURSE! I figured it out!" Sunnypelt asked, curiosity and concern clear in her voice, "Figured what out?" Firestar answered, "I figured out why I start to go berserk as more and more blood gets onto my pelt, and why I immediately change when my pelt is cleansed of blood!" Frecklewish mewed curiously, "What is it?"

Firestar answered excitedly, "The blood on my pelt represents sin. When my pelt gets washed, it's cleaning away my sins! I can not believe it took me over four moons to figure it out! It makes so much sense! The water is washing my paws of sin!" Fidgetflake mewed in shock, "T-That makes an odd amount of sense."

Firestar mewed, "Believe me. I am just as shocked as you that it makes sense. Of course it was something Biblical. The irony of it all is annoying." Firestar sighed and mewed, "Thank you Fidgetflake and Frecklewish. For the herbs." The two smiled and said, "Of course. Go."

Firestar and Sunnypelt picked up the parcels in front of them and headed back to their den. Sunnypelt ate her parcel of herbs and curled up. Firestar ate his parcel and curled up behind Sunnypelt. He pulled her as close to him as he could and her back pressed tightly against his chest. Both cats purred happily and fell asleep swiftly.

The Next Day:

Firestar's eyes shot open and he smelled Sunnypelt's scent. He purred lightly and got up. He stretched felinely and sat next to Sunnypelt. Slowly, but surely, Sunnypelt got up. She mewed weakly, "Don't even think about looking away Firestar. It's fine." Firestar blushed and mewed, "As you wish."

Sunnypelt walked to the other side of the den with her back to Firestar purposely. She stretched and Firestar's eyes immediately traced her body. His eyes rested on her core for a few seconds and he continued tracing her body. He gulped quietly. Sunnypelt purred in amusement and turned around. Her eyes immediately shot down between Firestar's hind legs, because something caught her eye. Sunnypelt's eyes widened a little, but they softened in warmth. She mewed, still looking, "Like what you saw, you big perv?"

Firestar asked, "What?" Firestar followed her gaze and he looked down. His eyes widened as he saw that his member had poked out a bit. He blushed brightly and mewed, "S-Sorry." He regained his composure and flirted, "Can't help it when such a beautiful she-cat stretches in front of me. It has a mind of its own at that point, but I can say it's got a good taste in she-cats." Sunnypelt blushed bright red and looked away. Firestar chuckled and thought to himself, 'Check. Your move, Sunnypelt.'

Sunnypelt regained her composure and flirted, "Well. Since you both liked what you saw, I suppose I can make my stretches deeper so you can both get a good look at everything." Firestar coughed immediately, his cheeks red as a tomato, and he thought to himself, 'Damn. Just damn. Good one. Put me right back in check. Well played. So close to checkmate. Who will be the victor?'

Firestar mewed, "Well. If that's what you wanna do, I certainly won't complain. I doubt it will either. I suppose, we both have the same taste in she-cats, so it makes sense that my member has good taste in she-cats. Maybe next time, I'll take a step closer to truly admire what you're trying to show me."

Sunnypelt immediately looked down, shifting her paws, but she mewed shyly, "Maybe next time, you can be right behind me when I stretch. Really get a good look at everything. Make sure to be very thorough in examining my body. You may need to use your paws to explore and examine my body. It will really allow you to get a good sense of everything about my body. I d-don't mind."

Firestar coughed again and thought to himself, 'D-Damn. I really thought what I said would put her in a more permanent check and force her to think about her next move. Shit. That one almost made me crumble. Well played Sunnypelt. Well played.'

Firestar mewed confidently, "If that's what you want, I'd be more than happy to oblige. Since you're being generous, then I request that you do the same. Get a good feel for my body. Get a good feel of every single thing about my body, my muscles, my chest, my neck, everything. And by everything, I mean everything." He decided to hammer the nail in and flirted, "I certainly wouldn't mind if your imagination gets… vivid while doing it to say the least, if you know what I mean."

Sunnypelt's mind immediately raced as she began to picture less than innocent things involving Firestar. She blushed brightly and Firestar smirked. Firestar thought to himself, 'Is that checkmate? Let's see.'

Sunnypelt finally regained her composure after a few minutes and she mewed seductively, "Quite an offer. I think I will take you up on that one. But then I request you do the same. Learn every aspect of my body with your paws. And by everything, I truly mean everything. Core included."

Firestar blushed red as a cherry and coughed several times. He thought to himself, 'D-Damn. Just damn. If we keep this up, we might both say those three magic words at the same time. Fuck me. But, I guess it's okay with me if we say it at the same time. Never would've thought she'd say these things to me. Is it love, flirting, a lie, etc.? No. She wouldn't lie to me. If she's saying these things, she means it.' Firestar mewed, "If you're sure about it, I don't mind."

Sunnypelt mewed shyly, but her voice became full of confidence as she talked, "I-I do mean it. I am sure about it. In fact, I've never been more sure about anything else in my life." Firestar smiled and said, "Alright. Guess we begin the exploration when we get back. Sound like a plan?" Sunnypelt mewed, "Maybe the next time I go into heat."

Firestar and Sunnypelt approached one another. Firestar mewed, "Well. No time to waste then. Let's head to the Moonstone." Sunnypelt mewed, "Indeed. But first." She smirked and leapt at Firestar. Firestar was caught off guard and the two rolled. Sunnypelt ended up on top and purred as she pinned Firestar. She asked, "Did you mean everything you said?"

Firestar looked up into her gaze and his heart soared. He answered, "Yes. Yes I did." Sunnypelt mewed, "Good." She lowered her face towards Firestar. Firestar's heart raced and he felt Sunnypelt's lips meet his. The two kissed deeply for a few seconds and separated, a strand of saliva connected to their lips between them. Firestar mewed, "Such a damn fool."

Sunnypelt giggled and said, "No one has said anything yet. You're assuming. And assuming makes an ass out of you and me. It could just be teasing for all you know." Sunnypelt flashed an innocent smile and Firestar muttered, "Sure it is." Sunnypelt said, "Let's go." Sunnypelt unpinned Firestar and he rolled to his feet. Firestar mewed, "Of course I am assuming. Have you not heard our conversations lately?" Sunnypelt chuckled and said, "I have heard them. Let's go, mousebrain."

Firestar shook his head in disbelief but led the way out of his Den. Sunnypelt was by his side and asked, "Do you actually know where the Moonstone is?" Firestar nodded and mewed, "When I was a Twoleg, I read a book series. It was called Warriors. And I never believed it to be real. That was, until I was born here. It detailed everything. Leafpool being the mother of Lionblaze, Hollyleaf, and Jayfeather. Firestar was a kittypet named Rusty that Bluestar decided to bring into Thunderclan. The great Journey. The Journey to the Sun-drown Place. The book series detailed everything. Sure, they kept the mating and such out of them, which makes sense as it was rated for young-adults. I only read up to Omen of The Stars. Anyways. The point is, the books showed a map that said where everything was. The Clans, Twolegplaces, Stables, etc. Everything. And that included the Moonstone and Moonpool. So, yes. I know where it is."

Sunnypelt said with awe, "I can't believe someone made books about the life of Warriors. That explains why you know so much about the History of Warriors." Firestar nodded and said, "Indeed." He smirked and took off sprinting, dust shot everywhere and Sunnypelt shook her head in disbelief and mewed, "You ass." She smiled and thought, 'I wonder who will say those three words first. Him or me. Besides. I need to convince him to not kill himself after he kills Tigerstar. I need to convince him to be Out for Love and not just Vengeance. Hence my forwardness. I never wanted to fall for him, especially not this fast, but I am. I-I don't want to lose him! I REFUSE TOO! It's no longer a want. I must save him! I WON'T LOSE HIM! His destiny is in my paws afterall! And maybe, I am a part of his destiny too! The question is, can I share? I met all of his mates. They are all quite nice and understanding. It wouldn't shock me if some of them have fallen for one another as well. I know Firestar is the only Tom I want to be with, I never thought about she-cats because I never had too. Though his mates have definitely caught my eye… sort of… fuck if I know…. It might be interesting to be with she-cats as well. Well. Only time will tell.' She placed a paw on her chest over her heart and yelled, "WAIT UP!" She took off sprinting after him.

Firestar chuckled and mewed quietly, "The other side of me was right. I am falling for Sunnypelt. And not a slow fall. Hell no. I am falling fast as a snake strikes, straight onto my face. Damn it. I don't want to risk hurting her, but something tells me I won't. Let's do this. Time to commit, Firestar. You got time. Don't rush it." Firestar slowed down at the Eastern Border and waited for Sunnypelt to catch up.

Sunnypelt's sides heaved as she was breathing heavily, following Firestar's scent. She jumped over a fallen tree and saw Firestar sitting at the edge of Skyclan's eastern border. Sunnypelt slowed down and stopped next to Firestar. She was gasping for breath and Firestar teased, "Need to catch your breath?" Sunnypelt said in between breaths, "Bite…me…you ass. How in the hell…. Are you not… tired?!"

Firestar laughed and said, "I've been training my endurance since I was a kit. And if you really want me to bite you, I can arrange that." Sunnypelt blushed lightly and batted Firestar upside his head and mewed, "Think… with your other head. Dumbass. Where to next?" Firestar laughed and said, "We can wait while you catch your breath. The Moonstone isn't going anywhere." Sunnypelt said, "Nah. Let's go now. The destiny of the Forest is in our paws after all."

Firestar said, "Well said. But I have only thought the Destiny of the Forest was in my paws only." Firestar continued honestly, "But I liked to think I always had a choice though. And of course, I chose to do it all alone, until recently." Sunnypelt asked, "Until recently?"

Firestar nodded and said, "I was more than prepared to defend the Forest alone. But Spottedleaf managed to get through to me and convince me to not face the darkness assaulting the forest alone. I did everything alone for the longest time. Defended Riverclan. Fought against impossible odds alone time and time again, without a care about my life. I had one purpose and only one purpose. Protect the Forest, even at the cost of my own life. I can not tell you how many times I've basically died. I died once as an apprentice. Rock brought me back in a flash of fire, like the Phoenix, thus awakening the powers I was supposed to have. And then I ended Tigerheart's life. You'd think that was my first kill, but no. I killed a cat when I was just a Kit."

Sunnypelt's eyes widened and she asked, "What?" Firestar replied somberly, "I killed a Tom who was trying to rape Silverstream. We were only kits at that point! What kind of sick bastard tries to fuck a kit?! Rape is awful and anyone who does it deserves to die. But trying to rape a kit?! Utterly disgusting! I felt something inside me snap and I tackled that bastard. I wound up on top and slashed that bastard's throat. The only thing I remember from when I snapped was the feeling of that bastard's blood on my claws and face. Then, after I calmed down, all I felt was disgusted in myself."

Sunnypelt mewed, "T-To kill someone when you were just a kit. But I understand why you did. I am glad you snapped and killed him. You never told me this." Firestar flashed a weak smile and said, "I have lost count of my kills. My Kill Count has to be in the hundreds, including cats of the Dark Forest. Minus the cats in the Dark Forest, I think around seventy-five. I never counted. And of course I didn't tell you, Sunnypelt. The fact that I killed someone as just a kit?! It terrifies even me. The fact that I could do that at only four moons old. What does it say about me?"

Firestar felt his eyes well up and Sunnypelt noticed. She used her tail to gently wipe Firestar's tears away and mewed, "It says that you did what you had to, to keep Silverstream safe. That tom was outside of the Warrior Code." Firestar opened his mouth to argue, but was interrupted as Sunnypelt's lips met his.

The two kissed deeply and Firestar tried to pull away, but was pulled back into it as Sunnypelt wrapped her paws around his neck, and dragged him down. Sunnypelt's back hit the ground and Firestar wound up on top of her. The two kept kissing until Sunnypelt pulled away and mewed, "No buts. Got it." Firestar opened his mouth to argue, when Sunnypelt kissed him again. Sunnypelt pulled away and mewed, "No buts. You did what you had too."

Firestar was blushing bright red and he said, "F-Fine. You tease. Silencing me with a kiss?" Sunnypelt smiled and said, "It worked. Didn't it?" Firestar nodded and got off of Sunnypelt. He helped her up and mewed shyly, "Follow me. Time to start this journey."

Several Hours Later:

Firestar took in his surroundings and saw a farm. He recognized the area and his jaw dropped, He mewed, "W-We're close to Barley's Farm. I wonder if he's even still alive. Same with Ravenpaw." Sunnypelt looked curious, but didn't pry. Firestar mewed, "Slight detour. I wanna see how they're doing. Or at the very least, pay my respects." Sunnypelt nodded her understanding and the two approached the rundown farm.

Sunnypelt looked at Firestar and asked, "Were you always flame orange?" Firestar laughed and said, "No. I used to be identical to the Late leader of Thunderclan, Firestar. He was a handsome ginger tom. I too was a handsome ginger tom. But when Rock activated my latent abilities and power after Tigerheart killed me when I was an apprentice, I was reborn in a flash of fire, like a Phoenix. It permanently changed my fur color to flame orange, and gave me the abilities and power of a Phoenix, aside from flight obviously. You're actually the first one to ask me that. Nobody even noticed. I wonder why?"

Sunnypelt flirted, "Probably because no one had the courage to approach you about it. They would've been lost in your eyes, Tom and She-cat alike." Firestar coughed and said, "O-Oh. Y-You think so?"

Firestar turned to look at Sunnypelt and she locked eyes with him, getting lost in his eyes. She mewed slowly after a few moments, "Hell. Even I get lost in your eyes. Such dazzling beautiful emerald green eyes. They also tell your story if one looks deeper into them. They hide sadness, grief, rage, love, hatred, and much more." Firestar blushed deeply and mewed, "O-Oh do they?"

A raspy and weak voice interrupted them. "Who are you two?" said the voice. Firestar immediately turned around and prepared to fight, but stopped being hostile as he recognized the black-and-white tom. Firestar mewed, "Y-You're still alive, Barley?"

Barley asked weakly, "How do you know my name?" Firestar answered, "The Elders shared stories about you and Ravenpaw." Barley laughed weakly and said, "Well. Good to know that they still share stories about us two. Who might you be?"

Firestar answered, "The name's Firestar." Barley's eyes lit up but Firestar continued, "But not the Firestar you know. He unfortunately lost his last life many moons ago." Barley looked down and mewed weakly, "I see. At least he hunts with Starclan now." Barley's eyes shot over to Sunnypelt and he asked, "And you are?"

Sunnypelt mewed, "I am Sunnypelt of Skyclan. A pleasure to meet you, Barley." Firestar asked, "How's Ravenpaw?"

Barley mewed sadly, "He died, moons ago. He died in my paws. No visible injuries. Must have been sick, but I never caught it. I was hoping you were someone he and I knew so you could've delivered the message to Ravenpaw's friends, if they're still alive." Firestar said, "Some of his friends are still alive. Sunnypelt can deliver the message to them."

Barley asked, "Why can't you?" Firestar looked down and answered, "Because Tigerstar is back. And I will kill him, once and for all. And once I do, I will be taking my own life for…reasons." Barley mewed, "I see. Come here youngin." Firestar walked over and Barley looked deep into Firestar's eyes.

After several moments, Barley mewed, "I see. Your eyes tell your whole story since birth. Killed as a kit to protect one you love. You've killed many, but never did it to win your battles. You did it to protect yourself, because they were trying to kill you. Yelled at loved ones to drive them away from the battle, while defending Riverclan solo. Fallen in love with many she-cats. Oh? You've also died once, but were reborn, only to be killed yet again, but this time reborn like a Phoenix. Intriguing. A beacon of Hope and light in the darkness, you are, while carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders alone. Now, we could be here the rest of the year as I read your story from your eyes, but let's stop there. I did find out that you've lost loved ones and you think you did it. But as I delve deeper in your eyes, a part of you knows that you didn't do it, but you're too blinded by revenge, hatred, rage, grief, and despair to believe that. So… I have a request for you."

Firestar looked shocked that Barley found out his story by just looking into his eyes, but mewed, "Of course."

Barley mewed, "After you fail to kill yourself, because something will happen that will make you want to live, give the message to Ravenpaw's and my friends, that we died. I only held out long enough to give the message." Barley collapsed on the spot and Firestar caught him. Barley mewed weakly, "B-Bury me next to Ravenpaw. His grave is beside the farm, in the pen… P-Please. So I can lay next to him forever. And thank you." Barley's eyes closed for the last time and Firestar felt his eyes well, but he took a breath and picked Barley's body up.

Sunnypelt and Firestar buried Barley next to Ravenpaw's grave and made a wooden gravestone for both of them. Firestar mewed, "Rest well wherever you are, you two. And may you two find one another again and pick up where you two left off." Sunnypelt looked curious, but Firestar mewed, "It was only a theory that Ravenpaw and Barley were mates. But I happen to believe that they in fact were. Especially with what Barley said." Sunnypelt's eyes widened and she mewed, "Oh! I see." Firestar nodded and said, "Well. I'd love to sit a vigil for them, but we have places to be. We can give them a vigil on the way back to Skyclan." Sunnypelt nodded her understanding and followed Firestar.

After fifteen minutes of running, the two came across a cave. Firestar mewed, "Well. Here it is. The entrance to the Moonstone." Sunnypelt looked around in awe. Firestar and Sunnypelt walked into the entrance at the same time. Firestar felt his front legs break something and he immediately looked up. A wooden barrier was lifted and gallons of blood began to fall down. Firestar felt time slow for him and he immediately grabbed Sunnypelt by her scruff and threw her ten feet out of the entrance.

Sunnypelt felt herself being thrown and she landed gracefully. She opened her mouth to ask why, when she saw the blood completely cover every aspect of Firestar's body in blood. She said, a twinge of fear in her voice, "That's not good. THAT'S A WHOLE LOT OF NOT FUCKING GOOD!"

As Firestar's body was entirely covered in blood, he felt his heart race a marathon. He hissed before he went completely berserk, "A fucking trip wire?! Really, Tigerstar?! REALLY?!" Firestar's killing intent shot up infinitely and the entire area around him began to shake as his aura continued rising.

Sunnypelt struggled to stay on her paws and she said, "LOOK AT ME FIRESTAR! LOOK AT ME! STAY WITH ME! DON'T YOU GIVE IN! LISTEN TO MY VOICE!" Firestar turned around and looked at her. His killing intent dropped as he locked eyes with Sunnypelt. The area around him began to stop shaking. She took a step closer and hissed, "SAY SOMETHING YOU OAF!" Firestar shook his head no. Sunnypelt looked curious and asked, "Can you say anything?" Firestar shook his head no and Sunnypelt mewed, "I see. Well. Stay close to me, okay. We gotta make it to the Moonstone still." Firestar nodded.

Sunnypelt and Firestar walked down towards the Moonstone. As they arrived, they saw the bloody body of a persian cat. Firestar immediately went to attack, but Sunnypelt ordered, "STAY!" Firestar looked at her and ignored her. Sunnypelt immediately covered the persian's body with her own just as Firestar raised a claw to attack and she hissed, "If you don't listen to me, and you attack anyways, you'll kill me too, and we both know you don't want to do that! SO STAY!" Firestar sat down and growled angrily.

Sunnypelt looked at the cat below her and gasped in disbelief as she recognized the tom below her. She muttered, "I-It's the Tom that Firestar was torturing. Oh no. Tigerstar must've found out that this cat told Firestar where to find him. So, Tigerstar killed this Tom." The tom coughed in pain and muttered, "S-Still alive. Barely, but still alive. L-Lost a lot of blood. You must be the she-cat that saved me from that psychopath of a mate you have."

Sunnypelt blushed and answered quietly, "He and I aren't mates. As much as I'd like to be his mate. But he doesn't mate someone unless he loves them. Firestar and I are just best friends." The tom below her mewed weakly, "T-The name's Boneclaw. I don't know if I will make it." Sunnypelt's mind raced and she got an idea.

Sunnypelt mewed with authority, "Firestar! Go find cobwebs and marigold! You are going to treat this tom. Honeypaw taught you basic medicine cat stuff." Firestar didn't listen and Sunnypelt threatened, "If you don't listen to me, no more meals!" Firestar looked at her in disbelief, but left in a hurry to find what Sunnypelt told him to find.

Sunnypelt and Boneclaw heard a battle going on outside and Sunnypelt mewed, "Idiots. Attacking us when Firestar is in this state. They're all going to die." Boneclaw mewed weakly, taking short, quick breaths, "W-Why is he here? Why is he listening to you?! And why the hell do you care if I-I live or die?!"

Sunnypelt answered, "He's here because he and I are looking for Tigerstar. And he listens to me, because well…. I won't tell you in case you betray us. We are taking you to Skyclan after we explore this area to find a tunnel entrance. Then again, Firestar did threaten all of Bloodclan with the worst if they even think of hurting me. He listens to me, because I am the one who can and will save him from himself. And I care, because no one deserves to go out like this!" Sunnypelt heard someone walk in from behind her. She ordered, "SAVE HIM FIRESTAR! OR NO MORE MEALS!"

Sunnypelt moved to the side and Firestar shot over. He got to work, attempting to save Boneclaw's life. Boneclaw struggled, his fear of Firestar evident. Sunnypelt mewed, attempting to comfort Boneclaw, "He won't hurt you. Not anymore, because of reasons."

Firestar struggled to speak, his berserk mind only knowing three things: Death, Murder, and Kill. "T-Too…much…blood…loss.. M..Might need to…. Ca..cauterize his wounds. I…It might sa..save him, but it will h…hurt." Sunnypelt ordered, "Do it! Or I won't let you help relieve my heat next time! I might purposely let a Tom that isn't you mate me and take my virginity if you don't save him!" Firestar's claws ignited with white hot flames immediately. The flames licked the air hungrily. Boneclaw looked at the flames in fear. Firestar struggled to speak, "Don't struggle! I need to be precise if I am to save your life! Sunnypelt! PIN HIM!"

Sunnypelt looked shocked at the order and Firestar's want to save this tom's life. She blushed lightly as she thought to herself, 'D-Does he want to be the one who mates me?! I'd never let anyone take my virginity unless I love them, but apparently berserk Firestar doesn't know that. And the fact that he is intent on saving this Tom's life; even when all Berserk Firestar knows is Death, Murder, and Kill; means he does love me and wants to be my mate. And I can say I am falling in love with Firestar. I wouldn't mind being his mate, even if he has eleven other mates.' She immediately walked over and pinned Boneclaw to the ground, keeping his paws stuck to the ground. Firestar immediately began to cauterize Boneclaw's injuries. Boneclaw's yowls of agony echoed around the cave of the Moonstone.

After a couple of hours, Firestar had finished cauterizing Boneclaw's injuries. Firestar struggled to speak, "It's done. Now, it's up to him." Firestar padded away and Sunnypelt smiled as she said, "Thank you. Now. We need to get you into a large body of water to clean up. Berserk you is easy to understand. I now know you do in fact love me. Berserk you failed to hide that. And since you won't remember any of this anyways. I love you too. I know. I'm a damn fool, but I can't help it. I LOVE YOU TOO! Damn. That feels good to say." Firestar looked at her in disbelief, but didn't say anything. Sunnypelt asked, "Do you love me?" Firestar nodded, and Sunnypelt beamed as she said, "Good. Because I love you too. Let's go, you lovable oaf. Bring Boneclaw with us."

Firestar picked up Boneclaw by the scruff of his neck. Sunnypelt mewed, "Wait. Let's explore this place first, see if we can find tunnels." The two looked around, but found nothing. Sunnypelt looked directly at the Moonstone and purred as she said, "It's beautiful. It really is. I think we should come back here at some point when night falls. It might give us a clue." Firestar nodded and the two left.

As they exited the cave entrance, Sunnypelt looked around and saw the mutilated bodies of eight cats. She clicked her tongue and heard movement to their left. Firestar went to move, but Sunnypelt said, "Stay." Firestar listened and Sunnypelt mewed, "We know you're out there. You really want to fuck with us? Firestar is currently berserk and he won't think twice about killing you all in several creative ways." The movement stopped and a she-cat asked, "What makes you think he'll win?"

Sunnypelt giggled and said, "He easily eviscerated eight of your members by himself. All I gotta do is order him to kill you, and he will. You really want to test me? All it will take from me, is four words. Which are Fetch. Me. Their. Souls! I say that uninterrupted in a whole sentence, and you all die. And since all of you are rogues that don't obey the Warrior Code, Firestar won't be breaking it if he kills you. I don't condone him killing you, but I won't tell a soul. I am still working on taming the beast within him. There are quite a few kinks to work out. But I have him under control, currently. I can only keep him under control for a little while longer as I made him treat Boneclaw, instead of killing him. So I ask again. Do you really want to fuck with us?" Firestar set Boneclaw down and growled, waiting for the order.

The she-cat mewed, "Give us Boneclaw." Sunnypelt replied, "No can do. You guys clearly don't care about your clan mates. He's coming with us." Four cats with metal claw tips walked out and the she-cat hissed, "It's none of your business! We can't let him leave alive! He broke once! He will break again!" Sunnypelt clicked her tongue and said, "Wrong choice. I tried to handle this like Firestar would've. With conversation. I tried." Sunnypelt raised her voice and yowled, "FETCH ME THEIR SOULS!"

Firestar leapt into combat swiftly. Sunnypelt stayed close to Boneclaw, protecting him. Firestar evaded several claws and blocked another. He immediately sunk his teeth deep into a Tom's throat and ripped it out. Firestar felt claws rake his throat, but the wound healed in a flash of fire. Firestar laughed manically and slipped a strike perfectly. He retaliated with a full force hook, causing the Tom's head to explode in blood, brain matter, and chunks of skull. Firestar turned his attention to his next target. Several attacks found their mark on his body, but Firestar gripped the she-cats front legs with his mouth tightly. He immediately ripped his head down as fast as he could, tearing the she-cat's leg off. She yowled in pain and Firestar slashed her throat swiftly. Firestar went to approach the last she-cat. She was shaking in fear and Sunnypelt yelled, "TO MY SIDE!" Firestar didn't listen and kept approaching and she threatened, "You've made your point. If you hurt her, no meals for two moons!" Firestar immediately stopped and growled angrily. He turned back around and padded over to Sunnypelt. Firestar grabbed Boneclaw by his scruff and sat down.

The she-cat asked, terrified, "M-Meals? What do you mean?" Sunnypelt smirked and said, "That's a secret. Let's just say he hasn't had meals like the ones I give him, in moons. I've been giving him a meal once, sometimes twice, a moon for about three moons." The she-cat immediately understood and spat, "I see. You're one of the four we aren't allowed to touch or hurt."

Sunnypelt smiled innocently and said, "Damn right. Cause if you even think about hurting me, Firestar will slaughter all of Bloodclan that day. And if any of you try to take my virginity by force or when I'm sleeping and such, he will make it so all of Bloodclan can't have kits anymore. It's reserved for him and only him. Same with Spottedleaf's, Heathertail's, and Olivenose's virginities. I know they are alive. And so does Firestar, deep down. I also know none of you have done anything to them. Tigerstar's orders. He knows that Firestar will immediately know if something is wrong. Tigerstar will die that same day if something happens to them. Now. Get the hell out of my sight, before I sic Firestar on you as well."

The she-cat hissed, "This isn't over!" Sunnypelt watched the she-cat flee. She mewed, "Time to clean up, Firestar." Firestar nodded and followed Sunnypelt to a pond. She ordered, "Set Boneclaw down and take a dive. Clean yourself up, alright. You do that, and you and I can take a romantic walk later." Firestar listened and dove into the pond. The area around where Firestar dove in, immediately became blood red. Firestar's head breached the surface and he swam around the perimeter of the pond, tinting the entire pond a shade of red. Firestar walked out of the pond and looked around. He asked, "Where am I? What happened?"

Firestar's eyes locked onto Sunnypelt and he padded over. He shook himself off and mewed, "Hey you. What are we doing here?" Firestar took a whiff of the air and sighed in relief as he didn't smell the scent of heat. Sunnypelt giggled and said, "We aren't mating, you mousebrain. Every part of your body got covered in blood at the entrance to the Moonstone. We have a plus one." Sunnypelt pointed to Boneclaw's unconscious body with her tail.

Firestar recognized the tom and immediately felt disgust in himself as he said, "That's the one I tortured. The one you saved the life of." Sunnypelt nodded and said, "Indeed. Tigerstar beat him within a mouse-length of his life. The Tom's name is Boneclaw, and he will be joining us in Skyclan." Firestar looked down and said, "Think he could forgive me?"

Sunnypelt answered honestly, "I don't know. I did tell him that he won't have to worry about you hurting him though. It will take quite some time before he speaks to you at the very least I bet." Firestar looked down somberly and said, "Fair enough."

Sunnypelt blushed bright red as she asked, "Do you remember anything from when you were berserk?" Firestar shook his head no and answered, "No. I don't. Probably because it was a true state of berserk. You did say that every part of my body got coated in blood at the entrance to the Moonstone. I am assuming Tigerstar set up a trap and expected me to kill anyone I saw. Why? Did something happen?" Sunnypelt sighed in relief and mewed, "No. Nothing happened. I was just curious." Neither of them noticed the blood pooling below Firestar.

Several Hours Later:

Firestar carried Boneclaw by the scruff of his neck towards the entrance of Skyclan. Sunnypelt was right beside him. Firestar yowled, "We need a medicine cat! Stat!" Frecklewish padded out of the Medicine Den and looked at Boneclaw. Her eyes wandered over to Firestar and her eyes widened in shock. She hollered, "Fidgetflake! I'm gonna need your help too!" Sunnypelt and Firestar looked curious. The commotion drew the remainder of Skyclan out of their dens. Leafstar asked groggily, "The hell is all the commotion?"

Frecklewish didn't say anything and pointed her tail towards Firestar. Everyone followed her tail and immediately their eyes widened in fear. Leafstar asked, concern clear in her voice, "You alright Firestar?" Firestar answered honestly, "I feel great!" Sunnypelt looked at him and immediately gasped in disbelief. Everywhere on Firestar's body were deep wounds, blood pouring out of them like a drink. Sunnypelt immediately fainted and Firestar caught her before she hit the ground. He set her down gently and asked, "What's wrong?"

A white tom with crow-black ears asked, "H-How are you alive? You should've died hours ago. Not a single part of y-your body is unscathed. Several of those cuts look deep!" Leafstar scolded, "Quailfeather!" Firestar looked down at his chest and saw a large, deep, cut on it. Blood spurted from it and Firestar mewed, "Well. Ain't this a conundrum? I look like I got into a fight with numerous twoleg monsters." Firestar looked behind him and saw a trail of blood. He mewed, "Well. That ain't good. I suppose I will take care of the trail leading right to camp. Don't need anyone following my trail." Firestar's paws ignited in flames. Everyone looked at him in awe and Firestar placed a paw on the trail of blood as he growled, "You better stay within the blood trail."

Where Firestar placed his flaming paw, the blood ignited. Immediately, the fire roared to life and began following the trail of blood with a WHOOSH! The blood was quickly burned away and Firestar watched the fire follow the trail. Firestar mewed, "Well. That takes care of that. Talk about recklessness. I almost led our enemies right to the heart of Skyclan." Firestar sighed in relief as one of his minor injuries healed in a flash of fire.

Firestar looked at the entirety of Skyclan looking at him in awe. He mewed, "Guess I have no strength left, yet I am still standing. It's taking forever for just one of my minor injuries to heal. Damn." Firestar felt weak, but he stayed on his paws. Firestar ordered, "Fidgetflake and Frecklewish, take care of Boneclaw. Make damn sure he survives. He will be in the Medicine Den. I will be fine." Firestar called upon Sharptooth.

A large mountain lion appeared beside him. Sharptooth mewed, "You called?" All of Skyclan gasped in fear and Sharptooth looked at them. Sharptooth said, "Well. Guess the gig is up." Firestar chuckled weakly and said, "Protect Sunnypelt's body. Your orders are to kill anyone who approaches her, aside from myself, Leafstar, Fidgetflake, Frecklewish, and Sparrowpelt." Sharptooth nodded his head to acknowledge his order. Sharptooth said with concern, "You look like hell. How have you not bled out? You alright?" Firestar nodded to confirm he was alright.

Everyone in Skyclan gasped in fear and Firestar mewed, "You can't blame me. All of you are horny as fuck, as several of you are without a mate because of Bloodclan. Sunnypelt's core is for the one she falls in love with. I can't trust anyone I didn't say to not take advantage of her situation. Surely, you all understand."

Firestar didn't wait for anyone to say anything and he grabbed Boneclaw by his scruff and carried him to the Medicine Den. Firestar set Boneclaw down gently on one of the mossbeds and he padded out. Firestar walked back over to Sunnypelt's body and mewed, "Your order is to now defend the Medicine Den with your life. Trust no one, aside from the ones I said before. I got this." Sharptooth nodded his understanding and padded over to the Medicine Den.

Firestar mewed, "Fidgetflake and Frecklewish, take care of Boneclaw. Make sure he survives. That's an order." Fidgetflake and Frecklewish padded to the Medicine Den. Sharptooth stepped aside to let them. Once they entered, Sharptooth immediately got in front of the entrance and sat down. Firestar ignited his paws once more and placed it on the trail of blood leading to the Medicine Den. It ignited immediately and followed the trail.

Firestar looked at Sunnypelt's unconscious body. Leafstar asked, "What happened, Firestar?" Firestar shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't remember a thing. But, my best guess is that I defended Sunnypelt and Boneclaw." Leafstar asked worriedly, "How are the ones that attacked you three?" Firestar answered honestly, "I was in a state of pure unbridled rage. You already know the answer." Quailfeather asked, "I-If blood covering your pelt causes you to go beserk, why aren't we dead? There is a lot of blood on your pelt." Firestar flashed a smile and mewed, "My own blood doesn't make me beserk."

Leafstar looked down and mewed, "So. They're dead." Firestar nodded and Leafstar said, "They had to have been outside of the Warrior Code." Firestar nodded again and Leafstar mewed, "Looks like you took on about eleven rogues. That explains why you're completely covered in wounds. So how aren't you dead, losing a life?" Firestar answered, "My pure, unrivaled willpower. I will be fine. My wounds will heal as I sleep. You know this, better than most here in Skyclan." Leafstar nodded her understanding and asked, "Are you able to carry Sunnypelt to your den?"

Firestar stumbled forward, but caught himself. He thought, 'My strength is fading fast. I lost a lot of blood. I should be dead, so why aren't I?' Firestar mewed confidently, "Yes. I can." Leafstar replied, "Good. Take her to your den and sleep. You are to rest as long as you need too. That's an order. Do I make myself clear?" Firestar nodded his understanding and asked, "Sparrowpelt. Can you help me get your daughter on my back?" Sparrowpelt padded forward and helped Firestar. Firestar hissed, "If anyone approaches my den that isn't one of the cats I mentioned earlier, I will slaughter you. It isn't a threat. It's a fucking promise! I don't care if it damns me to the Place of No Stars. I will do what I must to keep her safe!"

Firestar walked to his den, blood trailing behind, with Sunnypelt on his back. Once he entered his den, Firestar set Sunnypelt on his mossbed gently. Firestar's paws ignited in flames once more and he placed them on the trail of blood once more. It immediately ignited and burned away the blood. Firestar felt his strength vanish immediately and he collapsed behind Sunnypelt. Instinctively, Sunnypelt snuggled against him and Firestar fell asleep after pulling Sunnypelt as close to his chest as he could, her back pressing tightly against his chest.

Leafstar looked at the cats below her and said, "I guess it's time to explain everything. Time to reveal the truth about Firestar. Let's do this!"

The Next Morning:

Sunnypelt woke up, her back feeling sticky. She strained her neck and purred as she saw Firestar. She prodded him to wake him. Once Firestar's eyes opened, Sunnypelt mewed, "Guess this means you made me yours. I honestly don't mind, but did you have to cum on my back as well? I get marking your territory, but that might be a tad too far." Firestar didn't say anything and Sunnypelt rolled over. Her eyes widened as she saw nothing but blood. She struggled to her paws and hollered, "I NEED A MEDICINE CAT STAT!"

Leafstar padded into the den and said, "No need. Firestar is fine, just resting until he heals. And apparently, your mind wandered to him mating you as you slept. We both know he'd never do that." Sunnypelt looked at her leader and said, "I know, but I certainly wouldn't mind if he did mate me as I slept. Sure, I'd need a safe word for the next time. But I'd be down for some consensual non consent with him and only him! My body is his to use as he pleases! I love him damn it!"

Leafstar purred in amusement and said, "Believe me. I know. But you're lucky he's still knocked out, or he would've heard you confess your love for him. We both know he'd never treat you like a toy, unless you specifically asked him to treat you like a toy. You need to think, silly she-cat. We both know he's terrified of falling in love again because of that damn dream that Tigerstar sent him." Sunnypelt looked down and mewed, "Fair enough. Wanna tell me all that happened last night?"

Sunnypelt listened attentively as Leafstar explained all that happened last night.

Well. There we go! Another chapter down! LESSSSSSS FUCKING GO! May Starclan watch over you all. HappytheExceed16, logging out!
