@RedHead Just as the wind had reach down to her core it seemed, Sandykit felt warmth encircle her tiny body, and an unfamiliar scent wafted through her nose. Her instincts screamed at her to run; this was a strange cat, definitely not Hemlockfrost, as the scent on this feline was a bit darker and musty. But the she-kit had struggled on her own for so long that if she was forced to go another pawsteps the young feline knew she would just collapse and have to submit herself to whatever dangers laid around her. “S-So c-c-cold,” she stuttered, moving closer into Donovan’s belly fur. This cat may or may not be a danger to her, but at that moment she needed the warmth more than anything. It helped that Donovan was much bigger than her, providing a buffer between her kitten fluff and the vicious wind that howled around them. A stab of grief reached her heart; it was evident to Sandykit that Hemlockfrost wasn’t come back. She felt some sort of connection with the she-cat, but hadn’t known her to be her mother quite yet. For all she knew, she was a passerby too. But something was different with the she-cat than with this new tom; something milky and familiar, though Sandykit was unaware of the relationship they shared. It hurt to not see the familiar face she had gotten to know since her birth, and she wondered why the feline had not come back to even check on her. A little flicker stirred within her chest, much like that of a flame. Little did the tiny she-kit know, that they flame would soon burn into an inferno, fueling her hatred towards the Clans and her biological mother. |

Donovan curled tighter around her as she whimpered. He wished he could do more to help her, but he was honestly too young. Plus he was a tom, so... That complicated things a little bit. "I promise it'll be alright. Do you need any food? Can you eat solids yet?" Donovan had no idea what to do, but he wants to help this little kitten. To the best of his ability. "I think I should just take you to camp...." It was warmer there, and there were cats there who knew how to care for kits. Such as his own mother. Sure she was a bit cruel and stubborn, but like Donny, she had a soft spot for kits. Gently picking the kit up by her scruff, Donovan proceeded towards the camp. He wanted to get there as soon as possible. He would not let this kit starve, or worse, die. His stomach turned inside out at the thought. If anything bad happened to this kit, Donovan knew that he would blame himself for it. He'd probably get blamed anyways though, with his reputation. {Sorry it's a bit rushed and short, I kinda have a little writers block.} |

Sniffling a little, Sandykit turned her sorrowful expression upward, taking her first look at Donovan’s face. At first, it seemed intimidating to her, and she shrunk back a little. But after awhile of observing and watching, the young feline smiled. “Hello,” she mewed, and though hunger tore at her belly, there were hints of joy and happiness evident within her tone. Just as quickly as it had come though, the smile faded, giving way to more of a frown. “I-I ate something soft, a-a-and warm y-yesterday,” she offered, not sure if that’s what Donovan had met, since the kit had no foundation of what was considered solid food or… I guess the opposite is liquid food? she thought, a little trickle of confusion swirling within her brain. Regardless, she had eaten something that was good and sustained her; something she definitely craved to have again. As Donovan picked her up by the scruff, the little feline let out an ‘oof!', letting her limbs dangle beneath her. She swung a little, and a laugh escaped her. “This is fun!” she cried, batting her paws in the air just a bit. It was clear that despite the tremendous trauma she had experienced within the last moon, there was no stopping her fiery personality. Alit was the glow of kit-like playfulness, nestled deep within her amber eyes. The wind buffeted her fur now, and she stopped swinging her paws around, drawing them in and letting her teeth chatter just slightly. She hoped that wherever this mysterious cat was taking her was warm, safe, and most important, had food. (no worries! we can go ahead and post them in the clearing now c: ) |

The brown tabby padded into the territory - he was ahead of Ebony, but he was hoping that she wouldn't attack him. There was nothing stopping her, he was unguarded and an attack from behind was something that he needed to work on defending himself against - Arrow had always been better at defending then attacking, but even so, sometimes it seemed like it was the other way around. Especially when he was attacked from behind. His former trainer had told him that he needed to work on that type of thing, but Arrow just hadn't managed to get to it. Which wasn't going to be good in the end. Hopefully Ebony had good intentions with inviting him out into the territory, although Arrow doubted it... the brown tabby feline often doubted that anyone could have good intentions in a place like this. The east border. He hadn't really thought about it much before agreeing, honestly. Wherever she wanted to go was fine with him. By nature he was a follower, not a leader. A follower with a guarded heart and an even more heavily guarded mind. Making it quite hard to get to know him. There wasn't a lot that Arrow knew about Hannibal, his companion's brother. Just that he was well know for being a gentleman. Polite. And... a killer. Fear was obvious within the hearts of cats who knew of Hannibal. When they spoke of him, Arrow had always detected the underlying scent or tone of fear. He wondered if she was afraid of him as well. With family, there was always a certain bond... a blood tie. It could not be broken. It could not be snapped, ever. He had never understood why a family member would kill another. Because after all, wasn't family the most important thing? The dark tom continued into the territory, before falling back so that she could come alongside him. If an attack was being planned here, at least he would have more of a chance. At least it would be more fair this way. The last thing that Arrow wanted was for an unfair fight to ensue in this place. And the worst part was, that he sincerely doubted anyone would care if he were to die. If he were to disappear from the Dusk Syndicate, what cats would truly care? He wasn't sure. It hurt, but he wasn't sure. Dark hues glanced over at the mismatched ones of his fellow member. "So. Do you have any other siblings, besides..." His voice trailed off, not even wanting to say the dreaded cat's name. And he wasn't sure what kind of emotion it would envoke in his companion. As far as he knew, she could have the same types of instincts as he did. They were bonded by blood, after all. And everyone knew that blood bonds were a lot stronger then friendship ones. |
Re: Dusk Syndicate Territory
@woly The small huntress began to stalk her prey, belly-fur lightly grazing the earth upon which she hunted. There was something she wanted-- just out of reach, a particularly rotund mouse nibbled at a grain of some sort, absorbed in its own little world. Jupi’s ear twitched. Her job would be easy, it appeared; her stomach was allowing the siren call of flesh to sing its blood-fuelled song as loud as she could hear. To say the least, she needed food, and she needed it fast. Still as the stones on a twoleg’s home, the small molly sat there, olive-green eyes trained upon the gluttonous rodent, her chocolate-brown fur blending into the mud with ease. The creature moved, got onto two of its little feet, sniffing the air experimentally; her own whiskers twitched. Air whistled through her dark nose, quieter than the breath she drew. She would not move until it did first. With dilated pupils, she watched it, until the mouse settled back down, confident in its solitude. How wrong it was-- the time was right. Drawing to her full height and dragging a paw back like it was a spring, Jupiter was fully ready to swiftly end her prey’s life. However, it made off surprisingly swiftly. “Damnit!” she breathed, kicking up mud as she began to give chase to the stubborn little thing, claws now outstretched. This was the type of hunt she was made for, however frustrating it was. She could easily outpace and kill the mouse, but there was some novelty in the idea of chasing it. She’d gain on it for a couple of moments, perhaps slapping a paw just by its tail but purposefully missing; she could end this at any time. Heartbeats scuttled by, and Jupi was quickly becoming bored of this. The beast was approaching its hole quickly, now. It was this or nothing, and Jupiter made her decision in less than a second. She didn’t even have to pounce; a well-placed paw caught the nut-brown mouse right on the back. If she had applied more force, its spine would’ve been crushed, but Jupi was not cruel. She was to afford it one kindness; snapping its neck with ease. There would be no blood, it would not suffer. Her prize was dead, but still warm, and she picked it up, tail now raised high. Taking a few pawsteps, she began to saunter about, feeling somewhat proud of herself for the first time in, well, moons. |

It was the first time Saturn wasnt around her large group of friends, and actually outside of camp alone for once. She could be seen as popular and well liked, often surrounded by her groupies of friends. As a fighter she didnt really have any reason to be in the territory unless commanded, but for once she was alone. She had told her friends back at camp that she was going to go patrolling alone, nose high in the air for any scent of strangers, claws digging in the ground and prepared for any moment. She wasnt the best at tracking, she had no reason to be; she wasnt a hunter. Body built and toned out for attacking and killing upon order. Her mouth watered at the scent. She knew that one by heart: prey. Though from her indication the animal was already dead, and smelled a more..fuzzy scent along with it. Saturn didnt hang around Hunters often, she stayed more in her alley which were fighters so to her, the scent seemed unfamiliar to the Dusk Syndicate. And the only thing she was made for, the reason to train all of those moons: to attack anyone on sight that wasnt a dusk syndicate member. But her tracking skills were awful. She didnt know it was simply little ol Jupi, running full force after the scent immediately. The feline was in view now, and Saturn ha decided to run in from behind as a surprise, golden eyes slitted as she shifted her weight to her hind paws and out stretched her front legs in a pounce. She curled her lip in a snarl,"Trespasser!" she didnt know it was simply a hunter, maybe if she saw her face she would know, but frankly she didnt care at the moment and only hoped to land directly on her target. |

It was probably a pretty damn bad idea to give sass, but to be frank, her prey was a good few foxlengths away now. Anyone could steal it; most Fighters never let go once they cornered one who was a perceived threat. If an actual outsider was present, they’d be gone by now. Her tail thumped about as much as it could, and she twitched once, waiting to be released. |

Normally any other cat would have immediately been embarrassed and unpin whoever they had in the ground, but that wasnt in Saturns mind at the moment. She would never admit she wasnt good at tracking, even if she knew it, so instead she replied,"Sorry that I normally dont see a fighter hunting. Maybe stay in your lane next time." She didnt know this molly, possibly had seen her around camp but had never spoken before. It was hard for Saturn to feel awkward, ignoring the thumping of her tail and allowed her eyes to graze the fighters body while she had the chance. She didnt take social cues very well, instead giving a smirk,"Maybe I wont move, I think youre cute when youre angry." she had a habit of flirting often, but it was fun. Seeing Jupiter around she noticed she didnt speak much, but seeing her talking and actually a bit mad? It only fueled Saturns motivation more. |

She shrugged, or did as much of a shrug-like action as she could, trying to push down the heat that was threatening to rise through her pelt; she’d seen Saturn around camp, and had been furiously denying the fact that she was somewhat attractive, and now she was being… hit on? It was certainly a situation that Jupiter was not used to in one bit, she flicked her ear once more. “If you think I’m cute right now, then I’m not really angry. I’d suggest you step off before I do get genuinely frustrated, and well, I pity you if you find yourself far out of the Syndicate’s territory. What will you do when there are no hunters to wait on you, since you’re clearly too prestige to catch your own food?” She was finding it hard to respond to the brown she-cat’s dry wit. Nobody gave her as much as attention as she was getting right now, and it was a little overwhelming, but mostly cathartic to contribute to the back-and-forth going on. “Will you just die in your own lane, smartass? Don’t try that with me,” Jupi snorted. Although her paws were pinned, flat on the ground and unable to do anything, she found some assurance in unsheathing her claws and stretching them in what limited space she had. “I've heard the whole shtick more times than I care to count now.” |

She raised an eyebrow, clearly getting the reaction she wanted,"Frustrated? What would a pretty shecat like you do to me if I didnt step off? I'll be into it." hard to get it seemed like, but Saturn was only stubborn and determined to see under Jupiters aggression and get her flustered. Obviously, this was going to be a challenge. "It's not my fault youre so pinnable, Jupi. Im considering just using you as a pillow right now," she could only let out a snort,"And Im an expert fighter, I have no need to hunt, seeing as you cant get up right now, isnt that right?" |
