TWO


"Rosalie over here!"purred Tanglefurry playfully as she caught sight of the pretty blond she-cat strolling out of the shrubs of the forest into there camp.She spun her head around to catch sight of the black she-cat acknowledging her with a flick of her tail and padded over to her.
"Hey Tanglefurry what's up?"
"Nothing much you?"purred Tanglefurry warmly with a spark in her purple eyes.The sun felt hot on her icy cold fur as she bent her head down to groom her pelt.There camp was surrounded by large shrubs and four tall oak trees,"The sun feels good don't you think?"
"I'm not really a big fan of hot weather I prefer it colder."meowed Rosalie wrinkling her nose with disgust."
"I think it feels good."agreed a black she-cat with white paws as she stepped into the clearing and was by the two she-cats in a second with amusement in her blood red eyes.Victoria.Victoria was there Clan's leader and was there best friend as well."I love the sun."
"You two are crazy."purred Rosalie rolling her dazzling lavender eyes."I can't wait till leafbare!"
"Lets go wander in the forest."meowed Tanglefurry giving Rosalie a playful swat on the ear.Birds in the trees sang their songs and the leaves rustled slightly in the light breeze.
"Okay sounds like a good idea!"agreed Victoria as she bent her head down to lick her coarse jet black fur.
"I agree too!"purred Rosalie as she stood up padding the ground anxiously.The three she-cats started off into the forest.They walked together taking in the scenery.
"Look a squirrel!"purred Rosalie loudly in amusement as her lavender eyes followed the critter as it ran up a tall maple tree.
"Wow really Rosalie?"Tanglefurry gave a purr and playfully swatted the blond she-cat on the ear amused."A squirrel?"
"What I'm just having fun!You have a problem?"purred Rosalie as she batted playfully at the black she-cats ear.
"Oh look over there look who it is."meowed Victoria in a sigh as she spotted a dark blondish semi-long-hair tom appeared out of the shrubs.It was Diesel.Victoria met Diesel several years ago and fell for him.Only problem he wasn't a Vampirecat at the time he was a Mortalcat.Victoria secretly disappeared one day and went to his territory during the night while he was taking a nap and snuck close and bit him injecting her venom so that she wouldn't loose him.The tom noticed them and turned his head around and was over there in a blink of an eye.
"Hey ladies how what's up?"he meowed his black eyes unreadable as he looked back and forth through the she-cats.
"Hello Diesel.Nothing much."meowed Rosalie coolly to the dark golden tom.
"Anything new,Diesel?"meowed Victoria questioning with a spark in her blood red eyes as she gave a small purr.
"Not much.I think i saw Jamie just awhile ago if you want to catch up with her over by the stream."he meowed flicking his tail to the direction of the stream.
"Oh cool thanks!."purred Tanglefurry warmly as she lifted her paw to lick it and swiped it fast over her face.
"Well i'm going to go see you around"he mewed and was gone in an instant.
"Oh Victoria hes no good for you you deserve better than that."meowed Rosalie as she matched her pace with the tortoiseshell she-cat.
"I just can't help myself."sighed Victoria as they bounded along.
"Don't worry you'll fine the right tom for you someday.I know me and Coilsnary are great.I hop you find the right one for you."purred Tanglefurry trying to help.They continued until they came up to the stream and saw a pretty white she-cat sitting on a rock near the edge and recognized Jamie's scent.
"Hey!Over here!"called Jamie as she spun her head to see the cats several fox-lengths away.Victoria and her friends were over there in a blink of an eye.
"Hey Jamie.Anything new?"meowed Rosalie to the white she-cat .
"Have you heard the news?"Jamie meowed her red pink eyes sparked.
"What?"asked Tanglefurry her purple eyes questioning.
"My brother Atom told me that Scourge has made a Newborn during the night his name is Rocky hes massive and long-hair white tom gray splotches.He's now roaming about in the forest trying to adjust to his new life."the white she-cat finished as she lifted one of her white paws and licked it swiping it over her face.
"Really?Wow cool!"meowed Tanglefurry with a small purr."Really?Wow cool!"meowed Tanglefurry with a small purr.
"That's nice."agreed Victoria amused to the white she-cat.
"Well I'm going to go home now it was nice seeing you all!"she purred loudly as she said goodbye and swiftly ran into the forest.The woods was filled with noise as birds chirped away in the distance.The sun continued to rise up higher in the sky as the rays lit up the forest below.
"Bye Jamie."meowed Victoria after her as the three she-cats continued through the forest.As they continued there was a crunching sound of leaves from behind.Rosalie sensed this and spun her head around to see what was causing it but saw nothing but the usual forest with scattered leaves on the ground.Rosalie looked confused and turned around to see a pretty golden tabby staring at her with playfull topaz eyes.
"Boo!"she meowed.
"Waaaa!Well hello there!"Rosalie flinched"You almost made me fly out of my fur!"she purred half growled.
"Oh Rosalie its just Arissa."purred Victoria casting her warm gaze over to the golden tabby."What's up Arissa?"
"Oh nothing much i just had a snack awhile ago the pour thing"purred Arissa her deep topaz eyes sparkled as she looked at the she-cats.
"What kind of cat?"Tanglefurry gave a small purr as she looked at the golden tabby with her purple eyes.
"Hmm,kittypet tom white with seal points blue eyes as I recall that sucker."purred Arissa licking one of her paws and swiping it over her face.
"Haha"purred Tanglefurry amused as her dazzling purple eyes sparked.
"So what's new with you all?"Arissa meowed searching the faces of her friends.
"Oh we heard from Jamie that there is a Newborn in the forest now his name is Rocky and you can't miss him hes massive and long-hair white tom with gray splotches is what she said"replied Victoria warmly with a spark in her blood red eyes.
"Oh really cool!Who turned him?"purred Arissa.
"Scourge."meowed Rosalie to the golden tabby.
"Oh cool."she purred as she bent her head down to groom herself.A butterfly flew near and landed on her nose as she shook it off it flew to a nearby flower.
"Haha"purred Victoria
A sound of rustling leaves from nearby indicated a visitor and an unfamiliar scent wafted in Rosalie's nose as she wrinkled her nose in disgust.She turned her head to scan the clearing with her sharp lavender eyes to see if she spotted anything.She found nothing."What was that?"asked Arissa as if she read her mind her eyes curious."I don't know."meowed Victoria her blood red eyes sharp.She parted her jaw slightly to let any scent waft her scent glands and traced a scent.It was warm and it smelt good as she recognized the scent her blood red eyes sparked.Mortalcat
"I smell it too its a Mortalcat."meowed Tanglefurry like she was reading her mine.Her mouth watered and she tingled her paws."Want to go hunt I could sure use a snack?"Yeah,sounds like a good idea."purred Victoria a wicked look came in her eyes as she grinned,"Rosalie,Arissa want to come too?"
"Hmm.I could sure use a snack as well I'm starving!"purred Rosalie.
"Hmmm.Well I just ate awhile ago and me and Tasha were going to Crystal Waves and have some fun there.Y'all have fun It was nice running into you all I should be going."meowed Arissa as a look of apology hinted in her eyes."So bye see y'all again"Then the golden tabby she-cat disappeared into the forest.
"Bye.Come on y'all lets go find that Mortalcat!"purred Victoria she got up and groomed her long-hair brown tabby pelt and took the lead into the forest.Her friends followed close by.Every now and then they checked the scent parting their jaws to see if their victim was close.
"I think we passed it."meowed Tanglefurry checking the scent.She shifted her head to try to find it again.
"I think so too."agreed Victoria parting her jaw.She padded slowly back retracing their steps.The brown tabby gave a small purr and meowed"I think i found it this way,quietly."then padded away.


THREE

"This sucks."sighed Frost laying down hard putting his head on his white paws.Last night was a rough and sad night.Frost can still see him and Rocky out having some time together.Then running into an unfamiliar dead she-cat limp and unmoving.He knew what must have killed her.Frost remembered running into his new friend Puma as she came running up to face that her sister Ema was dead.
Frost and Rocky were both there when it happened.Then everything tensing and an unfamiliar tom by the name of Scourge.Rocky never wanted to believe in Vampirecats.He never would have thought he would become one.Scourge with his own ways was proof they were real and so he for fun decided to torcher poor Rocky.Frost can still recall his friend being crushed to the ground and battered.Puma was terrified.Then at last Scourge made his move and bit the massive white and gray tom injecting his venom.Now Rocky will spend the rest of eternity as a Vampirecat as he recalled his friends eyes turned red.
"Don't worry everythings going to be ok."meowed a black she-cat as she rubbed up against him and laid down next to him and licked his ear to comfort him,"I know last night was a rough night but we need to move on."She spoke as if she were talking to a kit her voice so calm.
"But,he was my best friend.Now I won't be able to see him again.He's gone!"he sighed in pain and frustration his eyes were unreadable.
"Just remember I lost my sister,Ema and I have to move on too."
"I know,but she didn't get her life taken to spend the rest of eternity as the living dead like Rocky,"a low growl rumbled quietly in his throat.He stretched out one of his paws and licked it furiously swiping it over his face.
"I was there too Frost I know your hurting but we have to move on,"Puma meowed calmly her voice was sweet.She gave him licks on the ear now and then trying to comfort him.He flicked his tail in frustration.
"Yes I know.You were so scared though and now your not."he meowed in a deep huff looking into her eyes with concern like he was looking right through her.
"Come on cheer up Frost.Lets go take a walk maybe some fresh air will make you feel better,"Puma suggested to the white tom.She got up and arched her back in a big stretch and started to groom her jet black pelt.
"Yeah,maybe that
