The snow that blanketed the Icicle Cavern's floors sifted as something darted across them, though it could not be seen as to what it was. Silver claws and fangs glimmered coldly in the the light as the ice crystals from the icicles that hung above shimmered. Flurries of snow drifted into the air as Stlkr809 padded across them, searching for the best ambush spot. She leapt gracefully onto a low-hanging ledge and pressed herself against the ice, her white pelt blending in perfectly with the caves, and her icy eyes barely visible.

Blackparade was doing a patrol with a good few other cats, leading the patrol. Even though he was blind, cats(at least some) trusted him to lead them around. He caught a scent he didn't recognize, and he paused, parting his jaws to scent better. That's odd. He thought. He didn't know at all what it was.

Mustangchance, who padded along side Blackparade, stopped and looked at the blind warrior. "What is it?" He meowed, lifting his own muzzle and scenting the icy air. He wrinkled his nose on surprise and tried to discern the strange scent.

Waterfrost came beside Mustangchance. "Any idea what it is?" She asked after scenting the air herself.
Blackparade shrugged. "I don't know, but something tells me it's not good. Maybe the Two-legs are up to something." He meowed grimly, his stomach twisting at the thought of the Two-legs messing around in the forest.

Mtt253 was hiding in the shadows, waiting for the right moment to attack.

Soulfrost came up behind them, her light silver fur looking white in the icy cave. She didnt usually come on patrols because of Sablekit, but she had left Sablekit to another Queen, one of her friends. She had come on the patrol because she need to get out of camp. Soulfrost parted her jaws to let in scents when the others said something smelled strange "Whats that?"

Stlkr809's head seemed to materialze out of the ice as she looked down at Mtt253. "They will come, and when they do, we must make our attack swift." She paused, scenting the air, thn growled, "Do not kill, only injure, and if I am in the mood, I, not you, will take one prisoner." Stlkr809 barked in the language of the Emtpies as she 'melted' back into the ice, blending in near perfectly.
Mustangchance shook his head at Soulfrost. "I don't know, but it isn't from a Clan, and it doesn;t seem to be a rouge or loner. It doesn't even have a cat-like scent to it.

Blackparade didn't answer at first, trying to think back to see if he ever smelled the scent before. "That's what we want to know." He finally answered Soulfrost, and flicked his tail, signalling them to remain quiet as he kept low to the cold ground, padding closer to where the scent was. Even though he was blind, he could feel the vibrations in the ice more easily, and catch sounds quicker. But everything seemed peaceful--to peaceful.
Waterfrost followed, just in case something happened; being blind, Blackparade can't see anything that blends in. She swore she could see the outline of a dog-like animal, but wasn't sure if it was real, so she dismissed the thought, but remained cautious.

Mtt253 nodded in agreement to Stlkr809.

Mustangchance stayed near Blackparade, his blue eyes flicking from one ice covered stone to another, her fur bristling and hackles raised. Mustangchance scooted closer to Waterfrost and murmured, "Something doesn't seem right." His ears swiveled suddenly as a few pebbles fell from a ledge...
...Stlkr809 lept from the ledge she had been perched on, landing on the brown and white tom with blue eyes. Stlkr809 let out a gutteral bark that ordered Mtt253 to follow her lead. The cats were trapped, the only escape blocked by the Empties. Mustangchance yowled out as Stlkr809 landed on him, the massive Empty pinning him to the frozen, snow-frosted ground.

Mtt253, following Stlkr809, jumped out of his hiding place and started to attack Blackparade.

Soulfrost lept at Stlkr809 with firein her eyes. She did what she could to help y ripping the massive Empty off Mustangchance. Then she lept at Mtt253, bowling the Empty off Blackparade. She did this so they could get the chance to prepare to dodge and attack while the Empties were on the ground.

Stlkr809 quickly moved away, blending back into the icy cavern as she manuevered around the cats. Mustangchance scrambled to his paws and searched for the white Empty, his eyes wide with fear. "What are they?" He yowled, just as Stlkr809 lept at him again, lashing out with a silver claw, bringing Mustangchance down. She stood over the unconcious cat and sliced her claw through the air if another cat came to close. "We are the Empties, and you have been spared from being killed, for now." She spoke in the cats' language, a gruff accent following her words. "We will take this one with us and you will spread word and fear us." She growled, then barking for Mtt253 to break off his attack as she lept away, sprinting from the cavern with Mustangchance dangling limply in her jaws.

Mtt253 was about to attack soulfrost when he heard Stlkr809's command and dashed off out of the cavern.

"Mustangchance!" Soulfrost chased after the Epties but stopped short, skidding on the ice and turning around. She halted in front of the others. "We have to go after'em" She said, glancing back.
