Emberstar padded through the ashes on the ground of the dead woods. Although the fire that killed the trees had occured before she was born, the forest was still a horrible place to be. Two cats followed her on a patrol. Cinderfrost, Blazeclan's deputy, and Lunarpaw, one of the clan's newest apprentices. She opened her mouth to drink in the scents of the now dead forest. She was immediately flooded with a wide variety of smells. Among them were some familiar smells, such as that of the ashes and prey. But there was something else... Something she had never smelled before. She stopped walking and turned to her deputy. "Cinderfrost." She whispered, her ears pricked up, waiting for the slightest noise to give her a clue as to what the smell was. "Do you smell that?" She asked, "I've never smelled it before."
TrQ4 crouched behind a large tree about ten fox lengths in front of the patol. I knew they would catch our scent sooner or later... He thought. He waited for the cats to come closer, so he could hopefully capture one.

Cinerfrost raised her muzzle and nodded. "It's not familiar, obviously not a cat, but what?" She meowed, padding forwards towards where TrQ4 crouched.
Stlkr809 stood beside TrQ4, her icy blue eyes glinting coldly in the light as she watched a gray cat approach them.

TrQ4 stared at Cinderfrost as she came closer and closer. His blood red eyes gleamed with eagerness. When the gray she-cat was close enough, he turned to Stlkr809. "Lets get them." He whispered. Then without another word, he pounced on the she-cat, whacking her over the head with his large forepaw.
Emberstar yowled with alarm and rushed forward to help Cinderfrost. She saw another beast too, Stlkr809, and lept toward her. She scratched at it's face. Her claws tore it's fur away, but beneath the fur was a hard, shiny surface that her claws couldn't cut through.

Stlkr809 lowed out a gutteral laugh as she swatted Emberstar away with one massive paw. She lept on top of the leader and sank her massive, silver claws downwards slowly, piercing Emberstar's fur and skin.
Cinderfrost grunted and fell, blacking out momentarily. She blinked her eyes and gazed up blearily at TrQ4, her eyes half open as she struggled to stand.

Emberstar yowled with pain as Stlkr809's claw sliced slowly through her flesh. Blood began to seep out of the wounds. Her vision started to fade as she fought to stay conscious. "Who are you?" She asked, her voice almost a whisper. "And what do you want?"
Lunarpaw rushed toward Emberstar, Cinderfrost, and the strange creatures. She jumped on Stlkr809, trying to push her off of Emberstar. "Leave her alone!" He yowled.
TrQ4 put one of his heavy paws on Cinderfrost, holding her down. "So," He growled at Stlkr809, ignoring Emberstar's questions. "Which one do you think we should take?"

Stlkr809 shrugged off Lunarpaw's attack and looked up at TrQ4. "The gray one, unless you have a better idea." She growled back, looknig down at Emberstar.

"I demand that you tell me who you are!" Emberstar meowed, her voice even quieter than before. "I have a right to know." Even though she knew she was defeated, her blue eyes gleamed with anger.
TrQ4 looked over at Stlkr809. "Ok." He growled. Then he turned to Emberstar. "You have no right to anything! But just so you can spread the word, we are the Empties. As for what we want, you'll have to figure that out by yourself."

Strlk809 smiled and ipcked up Emberstar in her jaws, flinging the leader into some nearby bushes. She nodded to TrQ4 to take Cinderfrost and pounded away, barreling past Lunarpaw in a flash of white fur and blue eyes.

OOC: Flung her into a bush? That seems kinda harsh XD
BIC: TrQ4 bent down and picked up Cinderfrost in his jaws. He thundered after Stlkr809, his body a blur as he ran as fast as he could.
Emberstar slowly pulled herself into a sitting position and looked after the strange creatures. She looked over at Lunarpaw. "We have to get back to camp. Quickly." She meowed. Then she pulled herself to er paws and limped as quickly as she could in the direction of camp. Lunarpaw turned to follow her.

OOC: lol ^^)
BIC: Cinderfrost dangled from TrQ4's jaws, finally realizing what had happened. She growled and twisted madly, her paws flailing as she fought to score a mark on her captor.
Stlkr809 laughed at Cinderfrost's attempts and slowed to a steady trot beside TrQ4. "Good fight back there." She barked in the Empty language.

TrQ4 slowed too, looking back to make sure no one had tried to follow them. "Yes. It was good." He replied in the Empty language. "And we got another prisoner!" He added, his voice muffled by the cat in his mouth.

Torridheart and Breaker got there just as the Empties left, Torridheart remembered Emberstar and Cinderfrost from a gathering when he was only an apprentice, Breaker knew them because he was a loner. "Emberstar!" Torridheart called, catching up to the she-cat, Breaker following behind.

Stlkr809 nodded, and ducked swiftly as one of Cinderfrost's paws swiped over her head. She growled and thrust her nose up to the she-cat. Barking in the cat language, she growled, "Try that move again and I'll personally tear your paws off." Stlkr809 pulled away and watched from the corner of her eye as Cinderfrost stiffened, then hung limp, seeming to be giving up.

Emberstar turned around slowly to face Torridheart and Breaker. "Hello." She meowed. "Did the two of you see those things that attacked us?" She asked.
TrQ4 chuckled from around Cinderfrost's body. "Thats a good way to get her to stop." Then he turned to Stlkr809. "Where should we take her?" He asked.

"We only saw as they ran off with Cinderfrost, but we saw them yes" Torridheart answered, glancing at Breaker.
