Fire And Water - Warrior Cats (Private)

[Keriae]

"I'll be fine. There's a river near camp." He told her, slowly getting to his paws. Oh, how he felt like an elder. "You can come with me." He told her, slowly but gradually making his way to the medicine den entrance.

[TheSilverfeather]

The apprentice nodded and got up, following her mentor outside. She yawned a bit, sleepy even though she hadn't done a lot the past days. She made sure to be ready in case Lucius would suddenly fall over or something. Her ears was perked as well, just in case some enemy warrior or rogue appeared.

Scabior was out walking in the forest, but had stopped for a while to take a drink. The cool water made him relax and he purred slightly, enjoying the beautiful day. He was well aware that he was on SkullClan territory, but it didn't matter. If they attacked, he would just lash out on them and flee. He had been told a few times that he was a fast runner, which pleased him.

[Keriae]

Lucius made his way out of camp, and paused once in the forest to sniff the air. "This way." He told her, and began leading the way there. When they were nearly there, he paused, his body going rigid. "Stay very quiet." He whispered seriously, edging forwards.

(What if Scabior and Lucius knew each other?)

[TheSilverfeather]

(Sure, it would be interesting.)

Dove looked a bit terrified at first, knowing that Lucius wouldn't start commanding cats around if there wasn't a great threat around. She shrugged it off though and nodded, following Lucius. She stopped, her body tense. What was it that had made Lucius react like this? A patrol of cats, badgers or maybe dogs? They were only two cats, and they weren't healed properly yet either. What if there was an attack? Annoyed she shook the questions away and concentrated on whatever might be ahead.

[Keriae]

Lucius advanced through the undergrowth, and stalked out from behind a large bush, his gaze landing on the tom in front of him. Drawing himself to his full height despite being covered in blood, he looked at the tom, daring him to speak first. His tail tip lashed, but he was too weak to fight. Hopefully Scabior wouldn't notice that.

[TheSilverfeather]

Scabior looked up at the sound of a cat and smiled as he saw Lucius. "Why greetings, Lucius." he purred, but paused as Dove turned up aswell. "Not alone, eh?" he said and watched the cat for a while before turning his attention back to Lucius. He looked him over, and decided that the tom most likely had been injured in some battle and might be hurt. Yet, he didn't dare to attack in case more cats was hiding in the bushes or simply because they were two, and he was one.

[Keriae]

Lucius smirked. "Well, Scabior, it seems we meet again." He also purred. "Too bad I'm covered in blood, or I could make your pelt seem like a pile of dust compared to mine." Flicking his tail for Dove to stand beside hm, he introduced her. "My apprentice, Dove. Snatcher's daughter."

[TheSilverfeather]

Scabior smiled slyly. "Oh, we all know you've missed me, right?" he said and narrowed his eyes a bit. "But then again, you are covered in blood. Anyway, it's not important. It's the inner and not the outer that counts." he said silently and looked at the little apprentice, hunger in his eyes. "Well then. Didn't know your filthy leader had a offspring." he said and looked at Lucius again, refusing to look at the little she-cat. Dove growled slightly and her tail lashed, but she kept quiet.

Narcissa awoke with the same, intense pains as earlier, but this time something was missing. Lucius was gone. Shrugging she tried to get up, but flopped to her side again rather quickly. She growled in frustration, for she wanted to get up and find Lucius. She felt like a helpless kit.

[Keriae]

Lucius raised his 'eyebrows', stone grey eyes glittering. "He had three, with a certain she-cat named Snowflake." He told him, sitting down. He had seen the hunger in the rogue tom's eyes, but in his current state, it looked like Dove would have to fend for herself if things got nasty. Of course, Scabior went after every she-ca that he took a fancy to anyway.

[TheSilverfeather]

Scabior smiled. "Ah, Snowflake. I met her in the forest once. Wasn't exactly hostile, I would say..." he said and smiled. "In fact, maybe she liked me more than Snatcher." he said coolily, glaring at Dove. That made Dove so angry she hissed and leaped forwards, her fangs bared and her neck fur standing straight up. "Oh, you're being a tough one, eh?" Scabior said, chuckling. He was stopped though, for Dove had leaped straight at him and knocked him over with a slash over his face. When Scabior looked back Dove saw that his eye was wounded, with three long scar streaks over it. The two cats soon began hissing and spitting at each other again, the hunger in their eyes turning more intense.
