Cats of the country and Mountains; (Invite only)

(no prob)

Shatter turned away, then when she looked back, she mummured. "I will raise them as if they were my own" Her raspy voice making her body quiver. She lay next to the kits, and wrapped her body around them, allowing them to suckle hungrily. She closed her eyes.

( ^^)

Sun had moved away slightly when she had come back - at first reluctant... but what could a tom-cat do for new-born kits? Especially an injured one..Green eyes sparkle, "Thank you," is purred. The golden tom licks her ear once before laying in the moss bed beside her with a heavy sigh.

[bluecollie]

SHe studied the little kits fondly. Though a darker emotion shadowed her eyes. "They are very small..." She mewed. Blood roaring in her ears.

Water nestled donw next to Sun. Eyeing the queen as she nursed the thjree little kits. Glancing at him, she mewed. "Do you trust her?" She mewed.

[ghostie..]

Fawn looks from Sun to the She-Cat, thinking along the same lines as Water. She didn't trust the she cat, not in the least. She looks to Sun, "I don't believe this is the best idea..." She mews, quietly, worry in her eyes. She didn't know this she cat, and when Bane returned.... He wouldn't be happy to see a stranger with his kits. She knew if she was in his position, she would feel the same. She shifts slightly under his gaze, "I do not know her, Sun... I can't trust her."


Flicker returned his gaze to Fallen. "You didn't answer my question -- how can I trust you, if you do not trust yourself." He stands. "Our fighting style, our hunting -- it can wipe out entire clans. You are a killer, Fallen. I've seen it in your eyes. Until you can control this urge you will not be taught anything by me. I apologize, but it is my duty to save lives. Many lives can be lost if my skill were taught to a cat like you. LIke teaching a cat to fly -- we would kill all the birds." His voice is calm and steady as he speaks, never looking away from the tom. "To pass the test, you must learn about yourself. Accept what you are, and move on to what you can be. Only then will you be taught."

[bluecollie]

(That was deep flicker....)

Water nodded to FAwn, eyeing the she cat suspiciously. She was lying down and staring into the distance. As if she had heard their conversation, she mewed. "What should i do when the father gets back?" She looked quite anxious. Her neck fur ruffled.
Water glanced at FAwn, she seemed the wiser, more cautious cat. She pricked her ears to see what she said. Mewing softly. "Maybe we should have waited for him to return before we did anything, Sun"

[Alpha*]

"Yes, they are quite small, but they will grow big and strong," The golden tom is silent, which is uncharacteristic of him and then sighs, smiling; "Water, Fawn... what choice do we have? No Queen will harm a kit, not one who has lost her own kits, and besides... would you rather see them starve? Fell knows many things, but in this... this is best. We have to at least try. Trust her only so far as you can toss her, but for them we must risk it." Sun replies with another heavy sigh. "Bane would accept this, because his mate has left, he will not want to loose them so soon."

(Flicker...)

Fallen clears his throat, "You misunderstand, I am happy to be what I am, a killer pure and simple. I have no desire to fly, and the only reason I ask is because I NEVER break a promise. Even if it kills me, I have promised to do my best, and should the star-pelted cats will that I should die so be it. I have control Flicker, two moons ago, I would have killed my brother Sun for his weakness, Bane for yelling at his mate, I would not have saved Water from the cliff, I would have murdered your Teller-of-Pointed-Stones for sanctioning the attack and I would have picked off your tribe cat by cat until only those who are of no threat to me remain, I would have tried to kill you, and I would have killed Sylvard. I have more control than you realize, and at least I am more honest than another cat I know who is not what he seems to be." Blue eyes are clear and patient, something strange of him, they are even soft, sweet. They speak of purity. "So teach me, please, I will do anything, I will heal, I'll give up killing, Anything to keep.. my...promise.."

[ghostie..]

Flicker looks to the Tom in silence, considering. Finally, he speaks. "I will teach you, under one condition. These skills are sacred to us, and we are trained to use them in the most desperate of times. Our Stone Teller is a corrupt tom -- and he will kill many cats before his reign ends." His voice is hesitant now, "he...is a very evil tom. He is not destined to walk the stars. Once he passes, he will be sent to the shadow realm. He does not keep promises, and he often double crosses. Do not trust him... he does not care if we live, if his tribe lives, or dies. Many of my tribe are killers. Be careful whom you trust."

Fawn sighs quietly, glancing once more at the she cat before slipping over to Sylvard, quickly evaluating him. His pads were broken, making it painful to walk. Underweight, yet there was something familiar about the tom. Even the name was familiar on her tongue. Looking down at him, she tilts her head slightly.

(hehe)

Water sighed and turned over. Closing her eyes. Her pelt prickling with distaste. She muttered. "Shes to big to throw, so i cant trust her at all..." She muttered.

Shatter closed her eyes, ignoring the she cats stining comment. The kits were here thats all....

[Alpha*]

Sun smiles to himself at Waters' realization; "Then you understand perfectly." is whispered back with a yawn. The golden tom places his head on his paws but keeps his green eyes wide and watchful, just in case.

Excitement sends his pelt into all directions; Was Flicker asking what he thinks he is asking? Surely it is not so! Fallen swallows, and gets himself under control, swiftly, silently. "I...do not... understand.. not fully. Do you want me to use these skills rarely... or kill your Teller?" personally he is hoping for the latter. That was something he could do. Fell blinks at the other tom-cat, as they have drawn to a stop in the gathering shadows. "Do not worry, I do not trust him, not a single cat has my trust.. yet.." he doesnt mean to say that, it just happens. It is the truth.

Water purred and turmedvover

Shatter sighed
