Description

Oh no back story timeee.
I'm bored and shit and thought I should at least corrupt one of my characters heartsssss. <333

----

A lean figure seemingly sat alone in a valley of grass, a few trees surrounding the abandoned field. The wind blew over the land, silent and warm as the signs of green leaf started to show. Along with the wind, a sharp, tangy smell drifted from the tom cat as he hunched over slightly, his pale tabby pelt ragged and ruffled up.

As though she had been summoned by shadows, a slender black and white feline with a round belly gracefully made her way to the tom, only to freeze a few paw steps away in her tracks, her ears flicking back in alarm.

A small, rasping voice escaped her, scared and timid. "B...Barrenstep?" it said, fear obviously pulsing from it.

"Icefleck, you came," the tom bubbled, looking at the she-cat finally, his eyes glinting with unknown happiness and weariness. "I thought you might..." he coughed, and then continued in a rasping voice, "...not even come to see me, after what I did," he finished, breathing shallowly.

Icefleck stared at him in horror, her green eyes stretched wide. "Barrenstep! Your hurt!" she whimpered, rushing over to the tom and burying her nose into his fur, trying to lick away the sticky crimson liquid.

Barrenstep let out a snort, his fur fluffing up as he pushed himself away from her. "Icefleck, I'm going to die," he growled, narrowing his eyes at her.

She shook her head in dismay. "N-no, your not," she said, panic shooting through her.

He chuckled. "At least I'll die happy," he murmured.

The she-cat let out a snarl, her fur spiking on end. "No! I will not allow you to die! Your kits need you, and I won't let them be born fatherless," she spat at him angrily.

He smiled at her weakly, tail flicking over her flank. "You always did have a temper..." he coughed, then look sadly at his paws. "I didn't wan't to die without seeing them first," he murmured. "But Snakestar and Weepingwhisker gave me no choice..." he murmured. "He was planning on killing you for me disobeying Clan custom," he said shakily.

She leaned against him, letting him fall onto her shoulder. "You.. what?" she asked. "What are you saying?" she said, swallowing as tears started to slip down her cheeks.

"I wanted to save you and the kits. I wanted to give them a life to live," he mewed, staring her in the eyes. "I could care less about all of them. Shadestep, Birchstar, all of them. I never did like them anyways, they always hated  me ever since I was a kit." he meowed. "But then you came along and I didn't wan't to be... bad anymore. But once you've made a contract with the Devil, there's no backing out," he growled.

Icefleck swallowed and pressed against him, closing her eyes and licking his cheek. "I love you," she mewed, staring dully at the ground.

"Icefleck... I need to tell you something," he started. "I've..." he trailed off, wavering.

She turned her head and looked at him, not prepared for what he was going to say necxt. "What?"

"I won't go to StarClan or the Dark Forest," he growled, staring at the horizon as the sun started to seep into the sky.

Her ears twitched. "I don't... understand," she mewed.

Barrenstep let out a frustrated growl and clawed the ground. "I've... already been killed," he mewed. "After you got pregnant, I died in a fight against Jaynose-" he mewed, looking at her.

Icefleck stared at him in disbelief. "The Medicine Cat?!" she exclaimed.

Barrenstep let out a sigh. "I was ordered to take out the strongest links to the Clan, the Medicine Cat's and the Leaders. In that fight, I couldn't bring myself to kill the one cat that had been there for me besides you, and so I decided It wasn't going to be my claws that finished him, but his claws that finished me. I wanted to die peacefully and forget everything... but of course life is to cruel for even that." He paused to gaze at the still body of his mate, and then continued.

"I'm already dead, and I've been killed in my second chance by Snakestar. I'm going to disappear for good. I won't be around anymore, I've only been around to help you out. I just wanted you to know that," he finished as he slumped towards the ground, his breathing starting to become quick and shallow.

Icefleck let out a cry of mixed feelings. Anger pulsed through her as she gazed at him, and then pity, love, and grief. "I... won't let you... die," she gasped, burying her nose in his pelt. "I love you," she sobbed.

The tom rolled onto his side and touched his nose to his mates, and then to her stomach three times, before laying his head down. "I love you too," he murmured back. "All of you," he mewed as his breaths became quicker.

Icefleck was now covered in blood sobbing uncontrollably. She buried her nose further down into her fur, shaking weakly. "You can't... leave... me," she spat. "I... won't... forgive you...." she finished, clenching her teeth in anger.

A small chuckle escape Barrenstep as he listened to Icefleck's words of anger. He took one last, breath of air, and then his body stilled and started to go limp and become stiff.

Disbelief shown in the very depths of her eyes as she watched a red glow come out from him, taking his spirit with it and dissolving into nothingness.

"No... no no... no no no no...." Icefleck rasped. "No..." she gasped, staggering and sitting up, staring at the last disappearing glow. "Don't leave me...!" she screeched up at him, swinging her head back and forth and slamming her paw down, slouching over into the hard earth.



When the female finally stood, it was nearly sunset. Her fur was dried with blood and tears. She slowly arose to her paws, staring at them blankly, turning her paws in default to the camp. 

As she made the slow walk home, she barley even noticed the scattered bodies of Clanmates and Enemies, nearly stumbling over a few of them. 

Icefleck neared the camp, making her way into the clearing warily. she stared up at the small group of cats gather in a circle, and she almost flinched at the sight of it. Blood was everywhere, and she started to come to senses. "What... happened?" she croaked.

Blossomstorm, her sister, looked up from grooming the blood off of their mother and little brother, Lilyfall and Mousekit. "Sakestar attacked again..." she said, trailing off.

Birchstar, their leader, let out a huff of anger and sadness. "They claimed the lives of Shadestep, Kestrelpaw, Fernflight, Willownose, and Emberdust. We're all thats left," he said, beckoning to everyone gathered in the camp.

Icefleck shook her head, growling. "Enough's enough. We're going to move. They can have their precious land, I'm tired of fighting," she spat, glaring at the ground.

My father, Toadclaw nodded tiredly. "I've killed so many of them its hard to keep count," he mumbled, staring at his bloodsoaked paws. "I'm done, I agree with Icefleck. No more," he mewed, staring at Birchstar and the Medicine Cat Apprentice, Brackentail. 

A small sigh escaped Brackentail. "They're right, its time to go," he murmured, staring at our leader.

Birchstar nodded, his shoulders sagging. "I believe its time to call it quits. we'll leave first thing this morning," he mewed, staring at the dull blood red sky. 

Icefleck nodded and crawled towards her family, kneeling down and sinking to her paws, burying her nose into her sister's fur. A wave of relief washed over her as she thought of the future of her kits and how better off they would be without the looming danger of CaveClan and the evil Snakestar. As she closed her eyes, she though of her mate, and let out a little sigh, looking at her belly. "Its just you and me, little ones," she murmured before drifting off into a deep and well deserved sleep...
