Blood

[Star (Noblelion)]

"Because, she whispered something to Nightwing, and Nightwing didn't seem too happy about it. So, I just wondered...," Wolffang trailed off as Skystorm walked away from Nightwing.

Stormclaw walked up to Nightwing, cut her, then stepped away silently.

Star looked around then said, "Is everyone ready?"

Wolffang threw Shadowstar a suspicious look and said, "I don't know, are we?"

[Shadowstar]

Shadow snapped towards Wolffang. "What is that supost to mean?" She asked her. "Are you saying that im not ready to kill my own father? Its a dream come true!" She hissed towards her.

[Star (Noblelion)]

"What I mean is that your intentions aren't what they appear to be," Wolffang replied curtly.

"If you're saying my leader has plans to betray you, I'll claw your ears off," Eagletalon snarled.

"That's right, Shadowstar would never do anything to harm this mission," Blackheart agreed.

Star looked at all of them, not knowing who to believe or trust. Skystorm stepped up beside his sister silently. Though he did no believe this was the way to handle the situation, he would defend his sister no matter what.

"What other intentions could your sister possibly have, Leaf?" Sun whispered in her ear.

[Shadowstar]

"With all this questioning your are doing Wolfgang it makes me wonder if it is you who is going to betray us. " Shadow remarked.
Leaf looked at sun " not that I know of." she told him "she would never do anything to the ones she care about. " leaf said

[Star (Noblelion)]

"I have no connections with Blood, and helping him would only hurt my family. Therefore, I can't be a traitor," Wolffang replied, baring her teeth making her look more wolf-like.

"Now's not the time for this. Let's let it drop for now but keep an eye on her," Skystorm whispered.

"Even the best of intentions can be misguided and often they hurt the ones we care about," Sun replied back.

[Shadowstar]

"you dare bare your teeth at a leader?!" Shadow seemed offended. "Star get your daughter in line." Shadow turned to Star.
Leaf turned and face sun. "Let me refrase, She would never do andthing that would hurt me, blackheart, and her clan." Leaf snapped

[Star (Noblelion)]

Star twitched his ear irritably and replied, "Don't tell me how to raise my children, Shadowstar. And, don't forget, she IS technically your neice. Wolffang, we'll discuss this when things have settled down somewhat, until then not another word about this."

Wolffang bowed her head and meowed, "Yes father."

"Ah, but what about everyone else? And what about the cats Blackheart cares about? What about Star and his children? Do they not matter? What about the cats you care about? Do they not matter?" Sun replied, his gaze calm yet searching.

[Shadowstar]

"well that means she should resect me even more!" Shadow snapped. "Lets just get this over with." She said and went over to blood rock.
Leaf looked at sun. "i dont know the way she is talking to wolffang i dont think so." She told him. "But dont question my sister's intentions untill you some how prove that they are true. Or you shall never have me." She remarked

[Star (Noblelion)]

Star nodded in agreement and said, "Alright, in order to get to the Dark Forest, you walk straight towards the tree, as though you were going through it. That's all there is to it. Leaf, Sun, please take care of my daughter."

Nightwing laid down, exausted. She closed her eyes and slept.

Sun nodded in response then looked back at Leaf and meowed, "I'm not questioning them, I'm merely stating that she appears to have some sort of...problem. You saw the way she snapped at Wolffang when she accused her. Besides, the only one who might truly know is Nightwing."

[Shadowstar]

Shadow walked towards the tree and walked threw it. Once she was threw she took a look around the darkforest and thought 'I'm spry father you had to put up with this dark place.
Leaf turned and watch shadow go threw the tree. Then she turned to sun " Well it will be to late to find out now. " leaf told him. She turned towards star " be careful star. May starclan be with all of you while in that darkplace. " she told him

[Star (Noblelion)]

"It's relatively easy, my child. The darkness keeps me alive," said Blood, keeping to the shadows.

Star dipped his head and said, "Thank you, and also with the two of you. Now, come on, lets go."

He flicked his tail and the others followed him through the tree. As soon as Star set foot in the Dark Forest, he sensed immediately that something was wrong.

Sun felt the hair on his spine prickle and he shivered slightly and looked at Leaf, wondering if she felt it too.

[Shadowstar]

"Still father. What they did was wrong and they will pay. Hush father dont repond the others are coming i feel them." Shadow said and turned around waiting for the others to pass through.
Leaf turned to Sun. "Something is wrong." Leaf said to Sun. She walked over to Nightwing. "Nightwing, What did shadow tell you. wither you tell us or not may rely on wither or not Star and them come back through blood tree." Leaf told her as calmly as possible.

[Star (Noblelion)]

Nightwing's eyes fluttered open and she said, "Shadowstar is bringing Blood back."

Sun's eyes widened and he looked at Leaf, unable to suppress his worries. Unknown to them, a pair of amber eyes watched them from the bushes.

"Shadowstar? Who were you talking to?" Star inquired.

[Shadowstar]

Leaf backed up. "No she wouldn'!" Leaf yowled. "She would not do that to me, to us." Leaf protested.
Shadow looked at star. "I was speakig to my own mind. Just thought i would say my thoughs out loud. I guess that was not a very smart thing to do, i didnt think i would be questioned." Shadow snapped.

[Star (Noblelion)]

"She will and she is, Leaf," Noblelion growled, stepping out from under the bushes.

"Who is this guy, Leaf?" Sun whispered.

"Hmmm," Star replied, glancing at her suspiciously.

The fur on the back of his spine prickled and he thought he heard a cold laugh.

"Did anyone else hear that?" Star growled uneasily, looking around at them.

[Shadowstar]

Leaf turned around. "Sun, This is Noblelion, He is the one who told us how to get threw blood rock into the dark forest." Leaf told him. "And i dont believe you noblelion. Why would she bring back a murder?" She asked him.
"what are you talking about Star?" Shadow asked him. "I mean of course your going to hear wierd noises, Its the dark forest. We wont know what to expect." Shaow told him. "Just dont show your fear, and stay together." She commanded them.

[Star (Noblelion)]

"Because, he's her father. Besides, Shadowstar has always been power hungry. Tell me though, are my sons with her?" Noblelion asked, a worried look on his face.

"Sons? Okay, just who exactly is this guy?" Sun asked.

"I know that...it just sounded like Blood, that's all," Star replied growling slightly.

Wolffang glanced at her brother and the two of them took up positions near Star, all the while keeping an eye on Shadowstar.

[Shadowstar]

Leaf nodded " yes Star and Blackheart are both with her. " leaf replied. "Sun he is noblelion. He's ok trust me." she replied.
Shadow laughed at star. "I'm sure he has enough sence to know that his death has come waking though blood rock and he would not just prance right out. I mean really star would you?" shadow asked him.

[Star (Noblelion)]

"Then I am too late....unless I go after them....but I need the blood of an innocent cat," Noblelion said.

"Why would you help them?" Nightwing snarled.

Star twitched his ear and replied, "If I was Blood, and was confident enough in my power, I would-if only to mock my adversaries."

[Shadowstar]

Leaf looked at noblelion. "Why would you waste your life if Shadow is playing something. That means she will offer either to join her or kill them." Leaf replied.
Shadow looked at Star. "If i was blood i would attack from the inside, and work my way out. But since im not Blood." Shadow quickly added.
