Rain splashed upon the ground, turning even the hardiest areas into naught but mud. Nightcloud lifted her paw from the trapping wet dirt, her fur plastered against her body, having been soaked in the downpour. Mustangchance trodded beside her, his fur turned completly brown after having stumbled several times into the mud as they, including Coyotestar and Soulfrost, continued the search for Heatherpaw. "She is still alive, and in MeadowClan, I know it." Nightcloud persisted, her eyes glazed over a stony cold expression. Her voice was stoic. Mustangchance dragged himself to his paws after yet another fall, not even bothering to shake away the clinging mud. "I will still help you search." He murmured.

Coyotestar looked at Nightcloud, her own fur looked a muddy brown, and not just because it was splattered with mud. Soulfrost's normally white pelt was messy and plastered to her body, making her look thin. "Trust me Nightcloud, we're going to find Heatherpaw no matter what" Coyotestar tried to reassure the other she-cat.

Nightcloud growled, eyes narrowing. "Of course we will find Heatherpaw. She's too stubborn to die." Nightcloud pulled her paws from the mud and trudged on, sinking to her shoulders nearly with every step. Mustangchance sighed and meowed, "She is determined. She must love Heatherpaw very much to go this far." The deputy flattened his ears against the rain as he too moved forwards, tucking his mud plastered head against his chest to try and block the rainfrom his eyes. The Herb Tree loomed ahead, a dark sillouette against the lead gray sky that rolled before them. In the distance, lightening flashed, and thunder followed.

TrQ4 stood by the Herb Tree, where the approaching cats couldn't see him. He pulled his gums back in a growl as they came closer. His red eyes gleamed with anger as he turned to Heatherpaw. "Looks like you have a lot of friends out here looking for you." He growled in the cat's language. "By the end of the day, they will all be dead." He added with a smirk as he turned back to watch the approaching cats. Even though most of the Empties were dead, he was one of the ones still living. He wanted to keep this cat that he had captured, and torture her. The other cats would only interfere with his plans.

Stlkr809 sat above TrQ4 in a sturdy branch, smiling viciously. "Of course, you will let me kill the tom, covered in mud over there." She growled. "He nearly prevented us from killing the one leader, Fearowstar. But I will kill him myself." Heatherpaw lay beneath a large root, too weak to responde in any way. Her flanks and sides were guant with hunger, her once lively violet eyes glazed over frmo pain and loss. Stlkr809 fed off of this misery, enjoying every moment, but watching it fade as the patrol drew closer.
Nightcloud stumbled and fell, laying on her side as she panted. Mustangchance stopped and stared at her, unsure of what to do. "Come on, you can make it to the Herb Tree at least. We are all weak and tired, but we will continue the search." Mustangchance meowed, prodding her shoulder. Nightcloud nodded silently, getting again to her paws.

TrQ4 smiled as he looked up at Stlkr809, his red eyes gleaming. "Of course you can have him." He growled. "That one has given us a lot of trouble. Don't kill him too quickly, try to make him suffer." Then he turned to watch the approaching cats again, his tail flicking back in forth. He noticed another cat approaching the larger group. "Ah... and here comes another potential victim." He growled, grinning.
Palewind had followed the group of cats as they approached the Herb Tree. As he caught up to them he meowed a greeting to the other cats. He continued to walk alongside them, looking straight ahead at the tree. He continued to stare at the herb tree, noticing a shiny object perched on one of the branches. "Well we know there's at least one Empty waiting for us."

"Not just one." Icystrike flickered her tail pointing towards more empties.Icystrike was fixed on the one emptie that gave her the scar on her neck. She growled."May i attack?"

Suddenly a sleek black shape shot out, and attaked Nightcloud. His mind may have been into the bettle, but his heart was elsewhere, watching Silverstep's horrified expression grow into anger. Silverstep came to join when it started raining; she just now showed up. Krylx66 backed off Nightcloud then, muttering, "I love, I love." Only Nightcloud could hear him. Soon, he was lost in his own mind, wishing Silverstep was an Empty. But then she wouldn't be the cat you love... A voice whispered in the back of his mind.

Stallionspirit padded up, looking worried. "I followed you all," he meowed, "I'm not sure if you already know, but I picked up the smell of some Empties along the way, at least a strange smell at the very least."

Silverstep took a tentative step toward Krylx66. "Why did you get off her?" She asked, with a kind, quiet voice. "Isn't it your nature to kill us cats?" She heard a hiss behind her, but didn't bother to turn around.
Krylx66 took a step toward her, then ran to her.
Silverstep felt panic threaten her body.
Krylx66 turned and pulled her by the scruff. He was gentle about it, but Silverstep started whimpering. Once he got in the middle of the cats and Herb Tree, he murmured, "Because I love you." He turned to face her. "And now, I will keep you captive until you love me back., even if it includes hurting you..." He trailed off. Silverstep started to wail, she didn't love Krylx66, she loved Foulstep. Should I risk my love to save Foulstep... She thought, desperate.

Foulstep's breathing was heavy as he ran full speed through the now muddy ground. His muscles were tensed and ready to fight as he pounded towards the other cats, aiming straight for Krylx66. "You dirty mutt" He growled, leaping onto the Empty, ripping his claws down its back.

Icystrike ran to silverstep and nuged her."Run." Icystrike looked back at foulstep, she wanted to help but needed to get silverstep to safty first. Icystrike growled at Krylx66 and then turned back to help silverstep if she needed help.

Silverstep ignored Icystrike's nudging. She hissed, and pounced on top of Krylx66. "Don't ever threanten anyone ever again." She spat. Her claws dug into the skin and reached the cold, hard metal. With the strength of her anger and fear, she ripped it off, showing metal. She started scratching at it, but was thrown off by Krylx66 and hit the Herb Tree with a sickening thud. She did not move.
Krylx66 yowled with anger. I knew it was a waste to love... He thought. He shook again until he dislodged Foulstep, running toward Silverstep. Her eyes were open, and they shown pure horror and pain. "This is for hurting me in more ways than you can dream." Krylx66 barked. He went to snap her neck, but something hit him and sent him rolling in the mud. His eyes narrowed, knowing that he would die, but he would get his revenge first. He struggled through the mud to get to Silverstep.
Soon, Silverstep started wailing lowly in pain. Her shoulder hurt so badly, and she couldn't move. Her every limb burned, and her right back leg had a gash right to the bone. Blood was pouring everywhere, and it was tempting Krylx66.

Foulstep's fur was bristling wildly and his eyes showd more burning hatred than you could imagine from a nice guy like him. "Im gonna show you what its like to die" He yowled, leaping at Krylx66.
Coyotestar sat and watched, she wanted to see how Foulstep handled this empty, if he could beat it by himself then her son was pretty strong. If only Foxstride was here to help.

Icystrike growled as something hit her. Icystrike wanted to kill one emptie in paticular....Stlkr809. Stlkr809 had given her a scar on her neck, that almost killed her, she wanted revenge. Icystrike geussed that the other empties heard the yowling or she thinks that they did, she wasen't sure. She turned to see what hit her.
