.:The Fight To Death:.
Why. One simple word -Why. Yet, in the one simple word, a lot can follow~
Why was he doing this? This treacherous deed was, well.., treacherous. It went against the warrior code, the whole point of being, the law of order -And he loved it, cherished every moment. Windpaw finally had the decency to understand that he, Flamepaw, needed to do something. And that something was to kill. He, Tigerstar, and Hawkfrost agreed that he had been ready from the start, this boneless act of crude 'socialism', would prove 'what he was really made of,' as Hawkfrost had pointed out.
Yes, he was restless, he was ready, ready for anything. It was a dark night, the moon had not yet fully risen, and crows crowed from their pedestal. It was a night, know to twolegs as -Halloween Night.
But first, he wanted to go explore alone, just him.
Amber eyes, narrowed to slits, and ears pricked and alert, Flamepaw made himself comfortable in the open terrain of the CloudClan and SnakeClan border. His pelt ruffled at the slightest breeze, but he didn't feel it. He was annoyed with Windpaw who had objected his going across the SnakeClan border, and instead, having him go the long way around to the FrostClan border. Why? He It was beyond him..or was it? He had a hunch that it had something to do with the cat that Windpaw won't tell him about, but he said he wouldn't pry yet, and he wouldn't. But to get on Windpaw's nerves, he went out early across the SnakeClan terrain. Course, Windpaw didn't know he was out yet, he thought he was going later.
As he padded across the FrostClan/CloudClan border, Flamepaw picked up scents of stale grass, and rabbit. It couldn't hurt to hunt, he thought to himself; and so, he lowered himself in to a hunting crouch. He quickly moved toward the scent of rabbit, and struck out at it with a fighting move that Strickenshadow had first taught him. The rabbit hopped a few inches, and then fell dead to the ground at his feet. He picked it up carefully, examining to see if any blood had spilled. It had not. He silently ate his rabbit in ravenous gulps, it tasted like crowfood, but he was hungry. He looked around to see if anyone was near by, and when they weren't, he set off. Deeper and deeper into the night.
There were small hills going up and down, up and down -and that was where he first caught scent of Jadestar. He had no idea how many lives Jadestar had left, he guessed about five, maybe less. She was a clever cat, he knew by what his clanmates had told him, that she was 'dangerous' too. That wouldn't be a problem though, even if he hadn't been to a gathering yet, and was only six moons old, he was smart. Especially with the help of Windpaw -though he wasn't here now.
As he sniffed around, he saw a matted bedding with her scent, intertwined between the moss and leaves. He moved almost instantly, grabbing the longest stick he could find, he broke it into twenty small, sharp and deadly pieces, ones that could piece through even the longest fur. Careful to not leave any scent, he doubled back to the FrostClan border where he had smelled some foxdung, and rolled in it. Stinking of the stench, he rolled in a pile of leaves to dampen it a bit, making it seem as if it had been there for awhile. When he had done that bit, Flamepaw returned to Jadestar's spot and carefully removed the bedding. In the soft soil ground, he placed the twenty sticks sticking upward, and then covered them again with her moss.
Once he was satisfied with his trap, he returned to IvyClan. All the cats were asleep, nestled close together from the fierce Leaf-fall breeze. He smoothly navigated himself to the sleeping Windpaw and shook him awake quietly.
"Time to go, Windpaw," he meowed gravely.
'Your journey awaits you...' Hawkfrost meowed, his eyes flashing.
