Torridheart lay on his back in a sunlit clearing, his breathing slow and steady as he slept. He was dreaming about Stargazer, a she-cat he met a while back and made friends with, he often thought about friends he doesnt usually get to see.

Stargazer was padding along, thinking of how her one and only friend, Torridheart, had been gone some time. He was more of an aquaintance, but he had been kind to her, and she hadn't seen the tom since. She was out for a stroll on her grassy hill that sat under the open stars, with a large willow tree with a hollowed out middle for shelter in the bad weather. She looked out, past even more hills, until the terrain changed to (what did it change to..? XD). She spotted a figure of a cat laying out there, so she hastened to go see who it was. The wind was blowing in the wrong direction, and she couldn't make out the cat's details. She leapt down from her hill onto its steep side, and slid down, avoiding the rock stepping stones. Then she ran over to the cat. Upon her arrival, she gasped when she realized who it was.

Upon hearing the gasp Torridheart opened his eyes, not recognizing Stargazer at first but then seeing who it was "Stargazer!?" He was on his feet in an instant "I didnt think I'd see you around anymore!"

"Neither did I," Stargazer replied, relieved to have someone to talk to besides the stars.

Torridheart purred and tackled Stargazer playfully "You know my friend Breaker? I think he done gone and got himself a mate!"

Stargazer opened her mouth wide in bewilderment. "Him?"

"Yeah! Her name is Sunset, me and him met her and her sister while hanging around....I think RageClan or BlazeClan territory" He climbed off her and rolled onto his back, looking up at the sky.

"Huh." Stargazer padded a few tail-lengths away and sat down, fur rippling with the whisper of the wind. She purred in amusement as she imagined Torridheart's friend falling head over paws for a she-cat. "Someday that'll be me a tom falls for," she murmured, then looked surprised as she had spoken her thoughts aloud. She looked over her shoulder to see if Torridheart had heard.

Torridhearts ears twitched when he heard this but acted like he didnt "Im bored" He sighed, rolling onto his stomach.

Stargazer's whiskers twitched in amusement. "If you're bored, do something you lazy furball!" she hissed teasingly, smirking. She hopped just out of reach, but stayed light on her toes, so she could prance just to the left if he took the hint and trying to swipe at her. She looked deliberately to her right, so he would think she had accidently betrayed the way she was going. After all, she had left her Clan as an apprentice. But Stargazer had learned a lot, and her mother had given her extra fighting lessons when she learned of the upcoming war.

He blinked and sat up "What are you doing?" Then he realized, she must think he was going to attack her. Torridheart crouched down, growling playfully, it'd been a long time since hed had any fun playing with another cat.

Stargazer smiled, growling back. But then without warning her eyes widened, and her breath caught in her throat. With a choking sound, she toppled over sideways, landed with a dull thud. On the back of her neck was a red gash, and scarlet blood ran down her shoulders. Standing behind her was a jet black cat with haunted watery green eyes. They showed only darkness, and an unreadable expression. He smirked. "That was easy." He licked his paw, and drew it across his face. "And you're next," he growled, widening his smirk into a grin, "I am Vampirate. I wander this area in search of my daughter, Mosskit. Of course, that was moons ago. Tell me what you know, or die, with her." He flicked his tail, gesturing to the dazed Stargazer.

Torridhearts eyes widened and fear and his limbs froze when he saw Stargazer fall. When he finally heard the other cat he shook his head "I-i dont know any Mosskit, I know theres a Mosswind in...I-i think RageClan" He managed to choke out.

Vampirate thought a while. "That was Furyfleet's Clan, I think," he murmured to himself. He then looked at the tom before him. He fought to keep calm and not turn back into his bloodthirsty self. "Look, I'm...," he mewed, faltering and then gulping, "...Sorry. I was abused as a....by Twolegs. I killed my mate and family, but...it wasn't my fault. Mosskit was the only one who escaped. I want...I want to change my evi...I want to become better." He kept studdering, but only because his eyes kept flashing in horror at his memories. He shook his head, backed up a few paces, then turned and faced the sliver of silver moon. He sat down, wrapping his tail around his paws.

Torridheart walked towards Vampirate but swerved around, heading straight for Stargazer he sat down beside her "Stargazer? Stargazer are you okay?" <please be ok...>
