"And I was wrong to have ever returnd the favor," Liam mewed, eyes following Ivorysoul as she padded off. He sighed. "That's one down, Jadepaw. Maybe she'll take my advice andkill herself; I'm sure she'll be much better off. Or maybe she could find that Spottedpelt character again. He seemed like a toy, won't you agree, Miss-'He'll-Love-Me- Unfortunetly.'" He snickered. "Do me a favor and make sure that she follows that, would you?" Jadepaw nodded and trotted off toward the exit.
"Now you're just being pathetic, Fernstar. Honestly. Taking orders like that? If you had any dignaty left, then you'd leave with your daughter. I never thought the 'great leader of Stormclan' would resort to taking orders from another, if if they are her better. You never really did care about that, did you? Maybe that's why most of the camp doesn't even notice that your gone," Liam mewed, back turned to his victum.

" Liam," Fernstar turned around. " There are wills of my own that forbade me from leaving." She mewed. " And look at you. You're one to talk. You left Ivorysoul behind, someone who cares about you like you were her brother, let alone mate. And, I will take orders from you as much as I want. Why? Because that is my sole purpose now." Fernstar sighed. " StormClan is no use to me." I'm lying through my teeth, and I know it. She thought darkly. But he cannot know the truth.

"Ivorysoul likes the part of me that will never be again- and now she is gone, forever to wander away from here. You have no reason to stay here. You have Blackstripe or whatever is new name is now, Blackleg, and the rest of Stormclan. Hell, if you're going to be a wuss about it, then go off and be a rouge. Don't stay here." He turned, eyes locking with hers. And if looks could kill, she would be long dead. "And that's an order."

" Since when do I listened to you..." Oh. Fernstar sighed, her eyes trying to read Liam's, trying to catch the mischevious glimpse she had seen in him when he was a kit in his first life. But there was nothing. Fernstar took in a long, shaky breathe, as if she was going to cry. She blinked slowly, imagining opening her eyes to find herself curled up next to Liam in the apprentices den. When she reopened them, however, there was nothing. At all. Just Liam, everything else blurred out by subconcious actions. She let her eyes search for a moment longer, but looked away once her eyes were sore from the verge of tears. " As you wish." She finally mewed, padding out of the RA camp.

Liam allowed his head to dip as she padded away. "And Fernstar?" he mewed, a hint of amusement in his yellow gaze. "You really are a fool." He had been a fool as well for most of his life; obviously, first instinct to superiority was key to his life. And how had it steered him wrong? His family died peacefully, he had saved his sister from herself and the rest of his family was happy or were about to face Starclan themselves. And left he the only one to carry the rightful name of power among them. Your generosity was torture, Fernstar. If it weren't for you, then I would've followed this path long ago.

Fernstar paused, her decisions swarming her head for a moment. Her tabby fur bristled slightly, before she turned around slowly, blinking sad, blue eyes. " For that, however, foolish Liam, I am now only going to stay in the RA." Fernstar mewed, entering the mouth of the mine once again, at a steady trot, slowing in front of Liam, trying to read his eyes again.

Liam smirked. "Good to hear. This may be fun having you around, foolish sister. I shall inform Leopardclaw as your status of a servant, nothing more. You are not permitted to leave the camp for any reason, regardless of circumstance. Only if Leopardclaw, Jadepaw or myself allow you to leave, then you may. Though Leopardclaw would need to give me a reason in that." He paused, glancing down at Fernpaw. He had grown back to his normal high once more, which left him almost a head taller than the she-cat at the moment. He had never noticed how much taller than her he was.
"You know that your aren't going to get anything that way, Fernstar," he continued as he read her eyes. His held nothing but annoyance- it was one of his arts. "Things have changed. I'm surprised you haven't noticed."

Fernstar ignored the last part of Liam's message. " As you wish," She mewed. Honestly, she wasn't realy Liam's sister, only by the power of birth and the simple fact StarClan chose them to. She padded further into camp, glancing back at Liam every so often.

Liam smiled a smile not one of joy, but one of sorrow. "And you still get yourslef dragged into this. And you call me the fool." He shook his head, turning back to where Leopardclaw stood with Ella. "I trust you make our get feel right at home, Leopardclaw. If this is the Ella so rumored about in the clans, than don't get her pissed. And try not to be such a leech." There was a flicker of amusement in his yellow gaze before he padded out of the camp, reason anynomous. There was something that he had to do.
Aspin tilted her head at the newcomer, the scent of the clans overwhelming. "Hi! Who are you? Are you from the clans? I'm Aspin, pleasure to meet you," she mewed endusiastically, padding up to Fernpaw. She was obviously oblivious.

Fernpaw smiled weakly up at Aspin. " Hello, Aspin. I'm Fernstar, Liam's sister... well, sister by reincarnation." She stared at the place where Liam had dissapeared from her sight. " Pleased to meet you, though." Fernstar sighed and rested her head on her paws as she layed down.
Leopardclaw flicked his tail at Liam as he left. " Well, Ella, if you need me, I'll be... yelling at Tigerpaw." Leopardclaw's eyes drifted over to Tigerpaw, before leaping off the minecar and screaming at him for lack of prey. Tigerpaw had returned with only a single sparrow.

"Really? Because you look- oh yeah. reincarnation. Hehe," Aspin mewed, smiling sheepishly with a worried glance at Tigerpaw. "But if you were with Liam, does that mean he was from the clans too? I haven't heard much about him myself. He and his crew just got here a bit ago, and I hear that he cracked a deal with Leopardclaw in order to bring his cats in here so the Army could have more numbers and he is equally in charge." She nodded with a sigh. "I only wonder how this is going to end up. I guess you can say that- hi!"
Memory was giving Aspin a cold glare, the she-cat still underlying the rules that Leopardclaw had set down. "Cruel too you are," she mewed, green eyes fading to blue as they rested on Fernpaw. "Once Fernstar, where you not?"

Fernpaw glanced at Memory. " Ah, the famous Memory." She mewed. " I had my eyes on you in StarClan. Yes, I was once Fernstar." Then she turned to Aspin again. " I suppose he did," She mewed, her eyes darting around nervously.
" DAMMIT!" The random rogue yowled in anguish as a black kit dropped from his mouth. It was none other than Sheena, who dove for cover behind the nearest cat, Memory.

"Only humble I am," Memory mewed to the she-cat with a dip of her head before turning to Sheena. "What problem lies byond your eyes?" she mewed, voice gentle as she touched noses with the she-kit for a moment before drawing herself away. You told yourself not to do that anymore. I'm sure he wouldn't like it, the she-cat scolded herself, eyes shifting to Leopardclaw for a moment.
"Sheena! Why the hell did you run off like that? Did you not think that some- what are you doing?" The voice was Azki's. Being a tom, he was allowed to waltz into the camp, regardless of his age. Though his sister didn't appear to be so lucky. "Hey Fernpaw. Sheena, it's not nice to go and hide behind random strangers."
"Oh, I'm sure that she-" Aspin began before knowing better. "If you'll pardon me," she mewed, lifting herself from the cave floor and padding off in search of Soprano.

Sheena looked at Azki, then to Memory, then to the rogue who came at her again.
" HEY!" The voice was Fernpaw's, who growled at the rogue. Leopardclaw leaped down from his perch and thwacked Sheena across the head.
" SHUTTUP!" He hissed irritadly. Sheena screached in pain.
" Leave her alone!" Leopardclaw whirled around to face Fernpaw. " Finally, the grandmother." He spat through gritted teeth. " You dare object to me?"
" Indeed I do, you foolish tom!" Fernstar spat angrily, both lunging at eachother at the same time, connecting in midair. And for once, it looked as if Leopardclaw was actually trying to fight.

Memory grabbed Sheena and Azki in her jaw, carrying both away from the fight. "No fun of that shall it be," she mewed, looking back over her shoulder. "Very bad is this fued of the inner family."
"You okay sis?" Azki mewed, looking his sister over.
"Woah, we don't need this. Step down, mom. It's pathetic that you attack your own nephew," Shortstride mewed, making his appearence at the base of the battle. Fernpaw was locked hard in his jaws while she had her attention turned to his cousin. "Leopardclaw, what's with the family reunion?"

Leopardclaw hissed. " Put her down, man." He hissed. " She's gonna die if I have my way." He sneered. " And I always do."
Fernpaw turned her head into a way to bite her son's nose. She squirmed violently until she fell to the ground, meeting with Leopardclaw's face again. She chewed away at his throat, while his paws struck down at her back. Size did have an advantage - one that was on Fernstar's side today. They snarled around vicious, angrily, murderously.
Sheena mewed in pain. " My head hurts..." She mewed. She stared at Fernstar and Leopardclaw, her eyes wide as the battle raged.

"Now this is pathetic." Liam sighed, his body seeming to materialize on the spot where he stood. "Leopardclaw, don't tell me that you're weak enough to fall against Fernstar? I understand that she is your aunt, thus you should have about equal strength. Even I didn't lose to her when I was the same age as I was right now- six moons. And there were also about three other clan cats attacking me as well, just after with big fight with Nightclan. How sad would it be if you lost to her now, when your at peak strength and are so much older than she is? Honestly."
"You're one to talk, bub," shortstride hissed, licking the blood from his nose as he aimed himself at the young rouge.
"Don't even try."
He didn't.
"That rut or a loner is going to die if I have anything to say about it," Azki cursed under his breath, his eyes searching the camp for the tom that had brought Sheena into this foul place.
"Hush, young ones. You shall be all right," Memory mewed, begainning to tend to Sheena's wounds. spots wasn't there at the single moment that she had ever needed him. Strange.

And maybe there was a reason for him never being there. With a caterwaul of rage, Spots flew up into the air, landing ontop of Leopardclaw. He was aiding Fernstar in battle, though it was hard to believe Leopardclaw paid no attention to the traitor. Fangs on fangs, he and Fernstar continued the uproar.
Fernstar would've lost instantly, had her rage not given her strength. He hurt a kit. He killed another. He hurt Sheena. Blackstripe can't trust me. Shortstride is a traitor. Tigerheart is dead. Blueclaw is gone. Liam has gone evil, and he will never love me. Time to go. " This is it, Leopardclaw." Fernstar clawed harder, deeper, and crueler than ever before.
Sheena blinked at Azki, then Memory, and then the fighting Trio with wide eyes. " What are they doing! Why are they fighting?"

Soprano stuck her head out to see what was happening, "Wh-what's hap-happening?" She meowed quietly to Memory, "What's go-going on?" She nodded to Aspin to show her where she was.

Ella slinked up beside the fight, mewing in her silky voice, "What do we have here, pets? Two fighting morons? As they say, stupid is as stupid does."

"Because they now know of nothing else," Memory mewed, eyes mournful. The last cat with a one-track mind she attempted to free had to be...erased. She chose not to get involved in this tangled web of lies.
Aspin nodded to Soprano before looking over at Azki and Sheena, giving them both a lick. "Just stay by the queens until this is all sorted out, I say," she mewed. Her voice wasn't as chipper, not in key. In this...I don't see much to be happy about.
"Enough of this pathetic fight," Liam yeowled, throwing himself on top of Fernpaw and knocking her to the ground before turning on Spots. His right claw spun the tom on his axes just enough for Liam to get a reach on his neck; it wasn't long until he had hit the ground as well. "You both are pathetic if you called that a fight. Now break it up nefore you kill yourselves. And you-" the dark tom turned on Leopardclaw. His paws swept under the bengal tom's, stealing his stance and causing him to topple over. "Don't fight those that aren't worth the trouble. Let them dig themselves out." His voice sent a wave of fear through it's echo as the rest of the camp fell silent. Those that had been cheering for the fight had withdrawn for the sake of their own lives, leaving Liam the last cat standing. "Pity. And I thought you may be able to handle more than one cat. Jadepaw!"
His assistant trotted from nowhere, head tilted up towards the tom she saw as her brother. "Jadepaw, make sure that Fernst- Fernpaw keeps her place if she wants to live. Got it?" She nodded and camp up behind the she-cat she had once called leader. "Leopardclaw, I can only hope that you can take care of the tom that didn't have a chance unless a youing she-cat started the fight for him. Even you should be able to handle that." It was amazing how strongly he chose to give orders, as if he had been clearing his own path during his entire lifetime. Not that he didn't: this was just the first time that anyone else dared to follow.

" Silence, fool." Leopardclaw hissed at Liam. " Last time I checked, Reggie was the one who brought in Spots, Fernstar, that worthless kit and your former mate, and, Reggie has long been one of my loyalest followers. In turn, he got them for me, not for you to be ordering my prisoners around, what not? Come now Liam, I thought more of you." Leopardclaw sneered. " Jadepaw, step away from the rat." He hissed.
Fernstar hissed. " One day, I'll get you Leopardclaw. One day..." She never got a chance to end her sentence. Why? Because in a flash Spots had whisked the she-cat off her paws and had zoomed strait out of camp to where most of the she-cats were hiding out. Where that would not be said quite yet.
Sheena stared in awe at the speed of the malnurished tom before turning her attention to Leopardclaw. " Reggie," Was Leopardclaw's only word.
" Yes?" The big, nimble, acrobatic cat raised a paw, signally he wanted to pursue them. Leopardclaw nodded, and Reggie was off. Leopardclaw smiled.
" Now, Liam, I don't want you to be ordering around any of my prisoners or of cats that listen to me, otherwise, my followers. I don't boss your cats around. Such a shame, what not?" He mewed coldly. " Memory, take those two kits somewhere they can't hear all of this. I'll see how perfect they realy are." A mischevious glint flickered behind the tom's eyes. Why? Because if it proved there was a single defect in either of the kits, he could kill them.

||Good to hear X3||
Memory nodded, grasping Sheena in her jaw with Azki forcing himself to stay to the ground. The she-cat didn't argue and took them to a side section of the tunnels. "May good luck be to both of you," she murmered as her eyes trailed back to Leopardclaw.
"I would not have dared tred on your territory if it didn't look like you were losing. Though don't argue that fact: it would end up disasterous. I only took place where I knew it was to be needed," Liam mewed, his tone giving no repent as he gave Jadepaw a flick of his tail. She nodded and followed after Reggie. "Though keep nor secrets in a partnership, shall we not?" He paused. "Though I did feel that Ivorysoul and Fernpaw had more to deal with myself rather than you. The things I said were ment to be heard. For that, I give no sensorship. T hough I apoligize for intruding on your prisoners." With that, he padded off, head still held high as his figure slipped into the shadows.
"Who the hell does that guiy think he is?" Shard murmered to Key as the two passed by. The calico tom shrugged; it wasn't like he cared who was in charge of this mess. He gave a nod to Soprano before Shortstride cut in on his thoughts of escape.
"Yeah Leopardclaw. You should just send him out while we still have the chance. That, or... cut him down to size. We can't have him getting too full of himself, can we?"

Soprano nodded to Memory, with a sigh. She dipped her head to Key, and gave a slight smile to him before it dissapeared and her face went solem again. "I'm glad the fight has stopped...." she meowed, "But that tom.... the black tom.... He should watch his words- not to mention actions- if he wants to live around here..." She sighed and looked at Azki and Sheena, "Hello..." she murmered slightly to the kits.

Leopardclaw acknowledged Liam with a wave of his tail. " He's still young, he must learn his place." He mewed, looking at Shortstride, eyes moving towards Ella and then Memory. " Now, if you will excuse me..." Leopardclaw's skullpiece 'necklace' seemed to be dull.

Sheena blinked up at the she-cat. " Hullo!" She mewed in her Spanish/Mexican accent. " who you?"
" I'm Descant," The tabby appeared next to her sister's side. " And this is Soprano." She smiled.

" Sheena!" The she-kit squeaked happily, staring up at the two queens.
" Soprano, I think I'm going to kit soon." Descant mumbled. " Hello, Sheena!" She added louder, looking at the tiny, hyper kit.
