~After all the talking~

Moonfur watched in horror as Scourge's dog-reinforced claws tore open Tigerstar's belly. She gasped, her eyes widened. Tigerstar's body fell limp to the ground. Then the spasms came. They overtook his body. Soon it stopped. Then it began again. She couldn't bear the screeching and yowling of Tigerstar, but just stood frozen to the ground as he tore up grass in agonizing pain. A pool of dark red blood pooled around him as the forest cats watched with horror and fright. The spasms happened nine times, probably for each of the nine important organs.
Soon Tigerstar just layed there, his eyes widened in anger and shock. His scent was covered with death and fresh blood. Moonfur spotted Scourge not far off, watching cruelly with his ice cold eyes. He spat on his victims corpse and watched the forest cats, an evil smirk on his face.


"This teaches you not to mess with Bloodclan."
He mewed silently to himself. He then stared at the limp body of the large striped brown tabby. "I never forgot." He said with narrowed eyes. 
Moonfur just closed her eyes and shook her head. Then she thought about Rosethorn. She kept her snarl in and just watched until the leaders spoke once more.

Moonfur walked along with Bloodclan, thinking about the future battle to come. Three days. Three days and the battle would begin.
Scourge had sent a few cats to Shadowclan to watch over them, but luckily he didn't send Frightpaw or Fearpaw.
She couldn't forget the horror on their faces as their father had brutally murdered Tigerstar. She just shook the thought away and looked over to Scourge, who was leading the group to Twolegplace. She walked up to him and walked beside him, their pelts brushing slightly with comfort. Scourge purred softly, making sure only Moonfur heard. They walked back to Twolegplace together, tails twined.

Scourge announced to speed up the training of all apprentices. Moonfur could see her kits battle training with their mentors already. She just sighed and followed Scourge into their den. "What if you die?" Scourge shook his head. "I won't." Moonfur growled softly. 
"Why are you so sure? We should at least have a plan if you do almost die..." The Bloodclan leader shrugged. "I guess..."
Moonfur thought for a moment. "The Moonstone." "What?" "We could get nine lives." 

Scourge stared at his mate. "Don't you have to believe in that 'Starclan' nonsense?" Moonfur purred.
"Doesn't say anything about that." Scourge tilted his head.
"Fine, but how will we know if we're in trouble?"
Moonfur shrugged. "Codeword?" Scourge nodded. "Let's just call out each others name if we are in trouble, which I doubt will happen."
"So... we're getting nine lives if we ARE almost dead?" Scourge just shook his head. "Perhaps so..."
Moonfur walked out of the den and watched her kits fight. They would be warriors soon... Three more days and everything will change.
