Pheonixfire was lying down in his bedding of moss, alone in the elder's den. He deeply missed his spot in the warrior's den, but he knew that he was getting older and was not in shape to be hunting, patrolling, and fighting everyday. He sighed, stretching out his forelegs.

Somebody help me tame this animal I have become And all along, what Pheonixfire didn't realize, was that Warheart was waiting with Neptune a little ways outside the Elders den, hidden from view of any of the clan members. She waited until the coast was clear, before taking a few pawsteps out from the bushes, licking her fur down silently as it was ruffled up by a thorn bush. " Ready? " she whispered menacingly to Neptune. And we beleive its not the real me [/size][/center]

Neptune stepped lightly up to Warheart, then pressed herself to the ground. The deputy Thistleclaw was crossing the clearing, and she pressed Warheart down with her tail. After Thistleclaw passed and disappeared inside the warriors den. "Alright, lets go."

Pheonixfire's ears pricked as he heard the slightest, quiet whisper of a voice he recognized: Warheart. A small growl rose, but he didn't know if he was hearing things, or if he had really heard it. He shook it off, but sat upright in his nest, looking around the empty den.

Warheart nodded, and cascaded down the grassy slope, into the open DuneClan camp. The sun had just gone down, and the moon shone bright, hardly lighting up the clearing. Warheart slowly crept around the elders den, and peered inside. She saw a set of eyes in the darkness. " Gotcha " she growled, and bounded into the den with her claws unsheathed, she pounced forth and landed on Pheonixfire, fastening the tom-cat to the ground.

Neptune followed, hard on Warheart's paws as she pressed her paw against Pheonixfire's throat, preventing him from crying out. "Your time has come, mouse-dung." Neptune hissed in the elders ears. "Take his life one by one till they are all gone." Neptune told Warheart, her green eyes glowing coldly in the dim den.

Pheonixfire tried to yowl for some help, but it didn't come out. "You were never a deserving leader, Warheart." He managed to hiss under Neptune's paw. He tried to get at least a paw free, but was unsuccessful. His golden eyes were, surprisingly, calm and unafraid.

Warheart's eyes widened at the tom-cats words. " What? " she practically whispered, and backed away from Pheonixfire. Her eyes weren't full of hate anymore. She looked from Neptune to Pheonixfire. " Neptune..we need to leave him here. " Memories flooded through Warheart's mind from when she was back at the gathering, the one night when the darkness had consumed her heart. She remembered only reacting to Pheonixstar's voice. It was his voice that had saved her. How could she have forgotten? " Neptune leave him " Warheart growled.

Neptune snalred at Warheart's words. "Did you or did you not want to rid the forest of this menace of a former leader?" She hissed, her eyes blazing coldly as she stared at Warheart, though she couldn't help but fathom Warheart's courage at being able to stop herself.

" No " Warheart mewed. " He's not a menace, he saved my life. You wont remember this because it was when you were still a loner. At a gathering, the darkness I had gained from my fathers heart took me over, and i was destroying everything around me. I remember distinctly, it was Pheonixstar whos voice calmed me. I can't beleive I'd forgotten that....my lust for blood must have.. " Warheart trailed off.

Pheonixfire looked at Warheart, surprised. He got up to his paws, sitting down, his tail over his paws. "I realized something, Warheart. I think you're not what I judged you to be." He meowed, his golden orbs on her.

Neptune's green eyes softened for once in her life and she lifted her paw from Pheonixfire's neck hesitantly, unsure if he would call for help or let them to run after attempting murder. "What do we do now?" She asked, her voice low with worry.

" MY COUSIN " A voice cracked from the entrance. Warheart was startled at the yowl, and whipped her head around to face whatever it was. Red eyes beemed back at her through the darkness, and with what moonlight shown, she noticed it was a very massive and muscular looking tom-cat, his pelt was a silvery gray, and his chest all the way up to his neck fur was a plain snow white color. " Who are you?!?! " Warheart growled, as she glared at this unknown tom-cat, finding herself standing guard before both Neptune and Pheonixfire.
" Hatebreed " the tom-cat replied. " What? You don't remember your own cousin? " he chuckled, sounding a bit dissapointed but heavy hearted all the same. Hatebreeds long fangs never disapeered into his jowles when he closed his mouth, they were to long to even be closely hidden.
With this distinction Warheart realized that this tom smelled a lot like her old home. She never forgot that scent. " Hatebreed... " she trailed off, casting her green gaze up to him. Still confused and awstruck. She could hardly remember the tom, but he was indeed her cousin. There was no other smell like her home. The faintest memories trailed back through her mind of an open field, a time from when she was only a kitten. Images of her and her siblings playing together, with what looked to be like Hatebreed, the kitten had the same colored pelt.
Warheart shook her head as she snapped back to reality. " I remember you... " she responded.
Hatebreed grinned. " I heard from a snitchy little loner that you were planning to murder the DuneClan leader, and I thought what better then me watching my own kin murder for a welcome home present? " he mrowed with sinister laughter. His bloody red gaze tore down to Pheonixfire. " He doesn't look dead to me.. " Hatebreed mumbled confused. " I guess I interupted you...please..carry on " he smiled.

Neptune hissed and stepped up to Warheart's side. "We refuse to kill Pheonixfire, so you might as well snivel and scurry away before I rip your throat out." She hissed, her voice low as to not disturb the DuneClan cats throughout the camp.

A low growl erupted from Hatebreeds throat. " I came to see a show " he snarled, his eyes glimmering with the same sinister glow as always.
" Neptunes right " Warheart meowed towards Hatebreed. " There was a misunderstanding " she mewed again.
" Misunderstanding? " Hatebreed replied, his hostile glare ceased as he met his cousins eyes. " Oh do explain. " he mewed.
Warheart then explained just as Hatebreed asked. When she was finished she unsheathed her claws, and shuffled her paws.
Hatebreed kept the same calm stare, as he looked at both Neptune and Warheart. " Well then... " he mewed. " Just save me the sob story... you won't mind if i kill him myself then? " he asked. " I've been in need of a good murder " Hatebreed continued, as he unsheathed his claws and turned a hostile glare over to Pheonixfire.
" Don't ! " Warheart snarled, and bounded in front of Pheonixfire.
" Move Warheart " Hatebreed growled.
Hatebreeds tone of voice disturbed Warheart, but she held her ground.
