Disaster Strikes -[Karuq]

Tigerfrost

'We should have killed it.' The dark orange tom thought to himself as he walked out of Thunderclan land. He needed to get away for a few moments, he needed to forget about what he had said to Littlestar and his feelings about wanting to kill the fox, but those feelings were so strong. The tom growled at himself then mumbled something about feelings. As the tom walked he felt the wound on his front left leg open up again, then the warm feeling of blood running down it. The tom stopped and sat down to lick the blood off his leg. He knew he should have gone back to the camp before he went on his sorrow walk so that he could get something for the bleeding from the medicine cat.


When Tigerfrost was done cleaning the blood off his leg he looked up to see an old barn in front of him. He had heard stories about the old barn being there, but he had never physically come to see it. He stood up and padded over to the barn, keeping his amber eyes open for any danger. The tom padded through the open door that was fallen half off and into the barn. The place was dim and Tigerfrost almost felt his eyes adjust to the dimmer light. He flicked his tail around, like he did when he was thinking, as he looked over the old wood floor and the tall piles of stale hay. Tigerfrost padded over to a pile of hay on the ground. It looked like a nest, made many, many moons ago. He gasped and wondered if this could be the nest that the great Firestar had once slept in.

The tom shook his head and then backed up a few paces before he looked up. The roof of the barn was still there, with a few holes giving him some light. He narrowed his amber eyes as he looked along the walls near the roof. There were planks up there, and only one way to get there. The orange tom padded over to the ladder and heaved himself up, one step at a time, to get to the loft. When the tom had reached the loft his leg was bleeding again, but he didn't think about it and listened to the mice that went running away from his smell. Tigerfrost knew the stories of the mice in the barn and a grin appeared on his face. 'I wonder if anyone lives here now.' The thought caught him by surprise and he opened his jaws to smell the air, but he wasn't sure if he smelled anything or not.

I SCREAM BLOOD karuq

beside the thunderpath a tom walked on the side. he ignored the rumbling and tried not to take in the disgusting scent. he paused, he looked up to see the sky nice and high, but it wasn't the sky that caught his attention. on his side of the thunderpath he found a fox run out of the forest. he smiled, pleased that he had found something to please him in this hot day. but he found the fox with fresh wounds and not far off he seen a small tom chase it.

karuq snorted in disgust and thought not to fight the fox. if the fox is running away from a small cat like that than its obviously weak. nothing worth his time. he walked on and came to view of the clearing with four large oak trees. from here he could see there was a large rock. the gray and white tom inhaled the scent of many cats like the ones in the forest that the fox came out of. he had heard many stories of these cats that live together and always faught each other for something like food and territory. he had met some rouges that had battled these cats, they feared them. karuq walked on, not afriad of the stories. he didn't care, if these cats are good then he would want to fight them. the sun shined showing a great number of scars that showed he battled pretty much all his life.

the gray and white tom kept walking till the sun was almost coming down. he felt hungry and was getting a bit tired, he had been walking all night and all day. karuq paused about to go through the thunderpath but then spotted a barn not to far away. without a second thought he headed toward it. inside he scented the air, there were a lot of mice and food. he looked up and there seem to be a roof. karuq smiled, he liked this place, lots of food and it was warm. he felt the hay and purred, it was nice and cozy. at that he grabbed a lot and made a nest.

instead of hunting he decided to go exploring, if there was nice territory he might as well make this place his own.

outside he looked around and found there was a twoleg nest not far from here. he looked the way he had come and then beyond the thunderpath. karuq skirted toward the twoleg nest then paused, he pricked his ears at the sound of barking. again he smiled, foxes, strong cats, and now dogs. this was like the best place he could go for to find the best and plus the barn could hold him for a long time even in leaf bare.

the sun almost going down he went back to the barn but paused at the scent of cat. he narrowed his eyes, no way is this cat or any cat going to claim it, he found it first and he knew that no cat lived here, at least not in a long time. inside he found a muscular tom, he looked strong and at first karuq was tempted to fight him but the tom looked very exhausted and wasn't near to a fighting mood. karuq felt too tired to fight anyway. "you there" he hissed "what are you doing in here, this is my home."

Tigerfrost

The tom was down in a hunting crouch, getting ready to pounce when a loud voice scared his prey away. Tigerfrost growled and flicked his tail angrily. He stood to his full height and turned around, ready to yell at who-ever had scared his prey away, but he had forgotten that he wasn't in Thunderclan territory anymore. As his amber eyes landed on the gray and white tom, his anger drifted away from him, and fear replaced it. That was only for a few moments before he got himself together enough to fight the tom, but as Tigerfrost looked him over it seemed as if he didn't want to fight either. As the words hit Tigerfrost he knew that the other tom was lying. This was Barley's Barn, no cat could claim it as his own. The orange tom growled and hissed, "This may be your home, but you don't own this land." His amber eyes glew with anger, this tom was not kicking him out, with-out a fight.

For some reason Tigerfrost needed this time away from his clan, and he wasn't going to let this rouge take it away from him. He was ready to fight for what he wanted, even if it was just a few hours alone. The tom quickly stole a glance to the door of the barn and very little light was flooding in. His stomach dropped to the floor. He had been gone a lot longer than he had expected, but he still needed his time. He looked back to the tom and unsheathed his claws, ready for a fight if this tom put on up. Tigerfrost knew he wouldn't leave with-out some wounds because he was already weak from the fight with the fox, and his leg was bleeding once again. He growled to himself as he felt the warm liquid run down his fur.

[fang]

he stood there, his eyes narrowed to the tom. he was certainly an interesting character, one that he might like in a battle.

karuq walked in the barn and closer to the tom. his fur was flat and claws sheathed, he wasn't really in the mood to fight, well he never is when he's tired or plain food hungry. "ah, that's true," he agreed with the ginger tom "but its not yours either." karuq pointed out. from up close he could smell something in the tom that smelled just like the scent in that part of the forest with the oaks. he heard stories that there are four of these groups that own one part of the forest. karuq guessed that this tom is one of them.

he turned away from the other cat, feeling too hungry and too restless to stay put. the tom opened his jaw and took in the scent of mice, one area in the hay he could see one. instinctfully he crouched down and took in his steps slowly till he was in pouncing range. he pounced before the mouse had even noticed him, but by how fat it was he wouldn't think that it could go real far. he came back to the tom and lied down, taking his first bite of his kill.

Tigerfrost

The tom was prepared to fight the male that had come into the barn and claimed it as his own, but it seemed like the male had other ideas. Tigerfrost watched as the gray and white tom hunted and then ate. He didn't know what to do with that and so, he sheathed his claws and took a few steps back, his jaw open. He snapped his jaw shut before he padded away from the tom and hid himself in a pile of hay. He hated himself at the moment for not being strong enough to just attack the tom. 'But he didn't attack me first.' He thought to himself, his anger dying some. He had been trained to not fight with another cat unless he needed to fight with someone. He sighed and placed his head on his large paws, feeling the old hay shift around him. He sighed and closed his amber eyes, but not falling asleep. His ears twitched with each noise that came through the hay. He wasn't going to be surprised if the tom attacked him.

[fang]

karuq growled to himself, frustrated with this tom. he could easily see the cat wanting to fight him but he wouldn't even make the first move. and what's with him anyway, there was anger and now shame. what is this cat a goody too paws like those kittypets that live with those stupid twolegs.

he took another bite of his mouse and watched as the tom lied down in the hay. karuq narrowed his eyes at the cat. "aren't you hungry?" he couldn't help but asking. waiting for a response he started to think on how strong the tom looked. yes, i'll defiantly fight him but not like that he thought about the wounds and the wound on his leg. let's see who this cat is, if he's in this four groups he would prove to be very useful. he turned back to the tom "so what's your name anyway?"

[tobymacfreak]

Tigerfrost

The tom's question rang in his ears. Yes, he had been hungry, but now he wasn't anymore. He licked his leg once and then pricked his ears when he heard the other tom ask for his name. Tigerfrost was surprised that he even asked that. 'Why would he ask my name? Is he up to something?' Tigerfrost didn't know the answer to his own questions, so he decided to tell the tom his name, and find out. He lifted his head a little higher and said, "Tigerfrost." He felt proud of his name when he said it for some reason. he liked the way it rolled off his tongue, for he didn't say his own name very much. He watched the gray and white tom eat for a moment before he asked his own question.

"How come you're not fighting me? If this is your home, how come you're not protecting it?" The questions he asked were true. He didn't understand why the tom wasn't attacking him, and instead eating a meal. Tigerfrost flicked his tail in a thoughtful way and then asked, "What's your name?" He had to tell Littlestar about this rouge, if he ever got back to camp, and make sure that his leader knew the scent, just in case this tom wanted to hurt some of his clan mates. The dark orange tom waited for the gray and white male's answer, hoping he would get one for both of his questions.

[fang]

the white and gray tom paused for a moment, wondering what to say to the tom of that question. why should he tell the tom that he was scemming to take him on when he would be fully ready in the future where their battle would be huge. and that he is going to get this tigerfrost nice and angry, the only way to do that is to hurt the ones he loves but he's going to need to know them first. finally karuq answered, "not in the mood to fight" and added "plus you look too tired out to even be a good opponent." which the answer was true.

then the tom smiled, trying to look as trusting as he can be to tigerfrost. he wants to know everything of this tom and karuq always gets what he wants no matter what. "my name is karuq." he paused then decided to really get into conversation with him. "hey, I'm only passing through, unlike some cats I just want to learn of these four groups" he smiled and a way that he never did, he closed his eyes and looked very friendly. this smile is only his fake smile, though lots of cats that he had fought had fallen for it and because of that they're dead.

Starscream

The sun had set, leaving the earth in darkness. The large tabby tom across the thunder-path in the dark of night, his green eyes letting him see the land around him. As soon as his large, black paws hit the dirt on the other side of the path, a sigh escaped the tom's lips. He hated crossing the thunder-path, just as much as many other cat. He flicked his tail once as he looked back to the other side, where the clans of the forest were. He snorted before he turned his gaze forward, toward a barn in the distance and made his way there.

As the tom slowly walked to the barn, his green gaze drifted around him. He had been here many times before, but there were so many different smells. He had his jaws open, showing his white fangs that weren't stained with blood at the moment. The smell of other toms reached his open mouth and he snapped his jaws shut with a loud noise, almost like thunder. The tabby male looked up to the sky to see dark clouds in the distance. He rolled his orbs before he let his gaze travel to the barn that was very close now. He sped up a little more, wanting to be ready just in case the two males would jump out at him. He wasn't worried about that, but he had to be ready to fight. He hated being caught off guard.

Starscream entered the barn with little noise. He had slowed his breathing down so he could hear inside. There was the sound of mice in the hay, owls in the rafters, and words. The tom frowned and got down into a crouch. He had learned to fight in his old home, one of the clans in the forest. ShadowClan. His paws were almost silent on the hard floor of the barn as he crossed it to find a ladder with the strong smell of the toms he had smelt outside. He made a face before climbing up and looking his new company.

One was a white and gray tom who looked very strong, but he also looked calm, like he wasn't on guard. Starscream's gaze drifted over to the other tom, a dark orange one, who was lying in a pile of hay. This cat looked strong as well, and ready to pounce on anything that made a noise.

'...I just want to learn of these four groups.' He heard the gray and white tom say. A smirk came upon the tom's face. "I can teach you the ways of the clans." His voice boomed in the barn, making the noise of the mice and owls stop. He walked over to the toms, moving slowly, his muscles bunched up for a fight, or so it seemed. He wasn't the most beautiful cat in the world, but his one feature that held most cats was his dark green eyes. He looked over the toms, waiting for one of them to say something.

He glanced over to the dark orange tom, seeing fear in his eyes, but also smelling him. He smelled of ThunderClan. Starscream wrinkled his nose, then let out a loud hiss. He hated ThunderClan almost as much as he hated ShadowClan, the clan he had been born in. The dark orange tom stood, his fur bristling on his back, looked to the gray and white tom, then took off. Starscream knew the ThunderClan tom didn't leave because of fear, but because he would have to be getting back to the weak clan he'd been born in.

The brown tabby turned to look at the only tom left. "I am Starscream, a rouge. Who must you be?" His voice boomed again in the barn, but this time the noises still went on. The tom didn't care, but was more interested in what the male before him had to say. Starscream had been alone on his hunt for revenge long enough, he needed to find some to find beside him. This tom looked as if he would be ready for a fight.

[fang]

the gray and white tom looked up to a brown tabby that he thought he had scented. this tom was strong, showed power in his eyes, karuq growled at himself, too bad he had already picked his prey. if he had met this cat first he would of so wanted to fight him. he turned his gaze away as tigerfrost got to his paws and left the barn. karuq narrowed his eyes, what just happen there. well no matter, he sat up and looked at the other tom more directly.

"they call me karuq" he meowed, showing how bored he was getting. he would like nothing more than a fight, now that he had eaten. though the only one he wants to really battle with is tigerfrost. "so tell me, starscream" he sneared, this tom had said he could tell him of these groups, and he wants to know every detail. "what information can you tell me about these clans?" his eyes narrowed, showing a much higher motive than what he had said to tigerfrost.

[tobymacfreak]

Starscream

Starscream could see the interest in Karuq's eyes. He narrowed his own before he sat down and curled his big fluffy tail around his large, black paws. He wasn't comfortable yet with the gray and white tom, but he could see that Karuq's interest wasn't in him at the moment, but in the tom that had just left. The ugly tom flicked his ears around, listening to the world around him. Life had come back into the barn and that kind of annoyed him now. He wanted this place to be calm, and quiet, but instead it was noisy. He growled softly to himself then looked at the gray and white tom with his beautiful green eyes.

"I once lived with the clans." He told Karuq, his pelt rising with anger at the thought of it. He shook his head softly, trying to get rid of the memories that just now flooded back to him. He didn't know if he should tell this tom his whole story, or just tell him what he needed to know. The tabby looked down at his tail that was wrapped around his paws, the feelings of hate and anger coming back to him. He hated the clans more than anything in his life, even more than StarClan.

Starscream looked up to the tom. "Tell me what you want to know about the clans." His voice was deep, and filled with anger, but he would tell the younger tom what he wanted to know.

[/size]

[fang]

karuq paused at the question. what did he want to know about the clans. well of course he wants to know how they work, like what they all do and what are their strengths and weaknesses. the ranks, and so much more, like knowing which clan has which territory.

there was so much that he needed to know, but mostly he only wants to know who is tigerfrost. karuq realized that starscream's name and tigerfrost's are very similiar. like star, then add scream, the same with tiger and frost, two different words put together. and this tom had said he once lived with the clans. there is something about with their names but he needs to make sure that he is correct about this. "what about names, the first thing i realized is that these clans live in parts of the forest. and now your name and that other cat's name?" he paused, "look i just want to find things out about these clans so i can find the strongest opponents and fight them." he got to his paws and stared with the tom with fire in his green eyes, "fight and win, no mercy that's my way, i take the strongest and fight. and i love to fight."
