 L i g h t n i n g s t r i k e"Vigilance is to be the only one to stick with it until the end, no matter the obstacles surrounding the victory."______________________________________ [Lightningstrike looked down, startled, at a kit who had wandered from the nursery.]
"And what are you doing out here in the camp? Aren't you the kit I saw leave the camp and almost get bitten by rabid prey?" Lightningstrike asked, not in an arrogant tone, softer, but still stern.
[He could see the fear in the kit's eyes, which he was used to. Whenever he got angry and attacked something, the same look flooded the victim's eyes.
In battle, Lightningstrike was the fiercest tom, and many cats would simply flee even if he hadn't lain a claw on them. His amber eyes penetrated the kit's eyes, and the Lightningstrike scooted her back toward the nursry with one massive paw.] ______________________________________

[Foamkit made a soft hissing noise]
"I don't want to back in there! it's awful!"
[she protested, squirming against the tom, who was probably fifty times stronger than her. But even that wouldn't force her back into the den, that made hours seem like days, and days seem like weeks]

L i g h t n i n g s t r i k e"Vigilance is to be the only one to stick with it until the end, no matter the obstacles surrounding the victory."______________________________________ [Lightningstrike pulled his paw back and shrugged.]
"Fine by me, just stay in camp. Don't go out without a warrior, at least." he meowed gruffly.
[Lightningstrike turned his back and waited for the remaining cats to gather, pawing the ground impatiently.] ______________________________________

[Foamkit looked up at the tom's back, the bounded away, taking off for the back entrance.]

 R o b i n s o n g“Beauty has two edges, one of laughter, one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder.”_______________________________________(( @Thane- Nah, since Hawkfrost is no longer part of her past, and Foxheart is, there's no blood connection between them. lD ))
[Robinsong blinked, chuckling at Ravenwing's gesture. Soon enough, three toms surrounded her. On an average day, it would be like hunting with StarClan, but seeing the friction between Lightningstrike and Ravenwing made her cringe inwardly. And something about Foxfire made her spine tingle. She couldn't exactly point out what, but Foxfire's silvery eyes made her own dart to the ground in a sort of subtle fear.
And what was that about the journey? They were leaving? Already?! Her heartbeat quickened. She wanted to attend the journey as well, but her wounds...Robinsong felt Lightningstrike lick her head twice before padding off with Ravenwing. She stood up, her wound still not fully healed and called after the toms.]
“May StarClan light your path!” [She called after the two with pain tugging at her voice, realizing in that heartbeat that they were probably the closest things she had to friends Once they were out of sight, she felt a pair of eyes watching her, and did a double-take at Foxfire, half out of fear, confused as to why he was still there.] “I thought that Mosstar would surely take you with her, Foxfire.”_______________________________

L i g h t n i n g s t r i k e"Vigilance is to be the only one to stick with it until the end, no matter the obstacles surrounding the victory._____________________________________[Lightningstrike cast one glance back at the camp, wondering if he would ever see it again. Here he was, plunging into danger again. His eyes wandered to Robinsong, but he quickly averted them
Why does she deserve me? he thought angrily. She just so openly rejected me, not just in front of Ravenwing, but the whole Clan! A growl escaped his throat. Then he let out a giant sigh. Well, that's why. That's because I'm letting myself feel this way. Well, no longer am I going to feel this way about that stupid she-cat. She can have Ravenwing, for all I care.
Lightningstrike turned tail and stalked back to the medicine cat's den, grabbing a bundle of travelling herbs that Cloudfang made up ahead of time. He ignored the bitter taste, wanting to just get out of camp. He twitched his tail impatiently, wanting to get going already. After all, the Clans met at win Rocks at sunhigh. And it was almost sunhigh!]

R o b i n s o n g“Beauty has two edges, one of laughter, one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder.”_______________________________________[Robinsong glanced at Lightningstrike, somehow detecting anger coming off of him in waves. She looked back at Foxfire and dipped her head.]
“Pardon me for a moment, Foxfire.” [She quickly made her way over to Lightningstrike and sat down before him as he ate his traveling herbs.] “Lightningstrike, are you alright? You seem, very...anxious.”
[She glanced at his rapidly twitching tail-tip. He looked like he could pelt out of camp at any moment. Sure, SeaClan was running a little late, but surely the tom wasn't that upset about it. Perhaps he was afraid of the journey, she thought.]_______________________________

Troutail ate the herbs also "I just hope we make it back. I know I'm usually optimistic but have the clans ever had something like this happen before? Nothing like this, they had to leave because of twolegs, and we aren't leaving for a bunch of overgrown fuzz balls. That have claws and teeth, and are 10 times bigger than a normla cat". He felt his mind swaying from the good and the bad, he thought they were dead one moment and the next he felt as though he could take on any of the Starslayers.

L i g h t n i n g s t r i k e"Vigilance is to be the only one to stick with it until the end, no matter the obstacles surrounding the victory."______________________________________ [Lightningstrike's fur began to bristle. He was extremely angry at Robinsong, but he didn't know why! Ah yes. Ravenwing. . . His amber eyes narrowed in hatred at that cursed name. That evil cat had somehow managed to wrap Robinsong around his claw.
He looked up at Robinsong, his eyes glittering.]
"Am I alright?" he snorted. "Sure, yeah, I guess I'm fine, other than the humiliation of the whole Clan seeing you reject me." he spat. He snorted in contempt. "Sure, you can have you little Ravenwing. And I won't say a word about it. Go ahead; do what you please. I'm finished."
[With that, Lightninstrike whirled around, his tail lashing in fury. His bristling pelt made him look twice his size, and his amber eyes looked as if he could slice a cat clean in half. he looked as if he could murder someone. Slowly it dawned on him. No. . . Why did I do that. . . I've probably lost her forever. . . What made me do it?!
Pure jealousy, stupid tom. a mysterious voice answered.
What?! Who are you?! Why have you come to torture me?!" Lightningstrike asked furiously.
Oh, Lightningstrike, just give in to your temper. Kill that cat. She has brought you more pain than you'll ever feel.
No! I will not kill a Clanmate, much less Robinsong!
Lightningstrike pushed the voice out. He refused to listen. he whipped his massive head around and glared at any of those who came near him, his amber eyes spewing over with hatred.
His tail twitched both in fury and in impatience. He longed to get away from this wretched place. he loned to run free, he longed to sink his claws into some fresh-kill, or better yet, one of the Slayers themselves.]
((Weel, the voice was one of the Slayers. They want to get rid of him, because he is one of the largest cats of the Clans, or perhaps is the largest, and maybe the Slayers fear him somewhat. They maybe fear what he can do. . .? Hehe, I hasta talk with some of the actual Slayers first. XD)) ______________________________________

R o b i n s o n g“Beauty has two edges, one of laughter, one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder.”_______________________________________[Robinsong reeled back in shock and disgust. How dare he speak to her in such a manner! The she-cat stood up, her long, black claws unsheathing as she pad after the massive tom. Her hackles rose as she quickened her pace, her lips curling back slightly to reveal her teeth.]
The nerve of that mouse-brained piece of foxdung...
[Her eyes were narrowed into a pair of glittering blue and green slits as she neared him.]
“Excuse me?! Humiliated you? How in StarClan's name did I do that?!” [He wouldn't look at her, which made her angrier. Her fur bristling and fluffing out, she leapt in front of him, blocking his way. Her eyes widened with flaring anger.] “Lightningstrike, I don't know if you realize it, but you're overreacting over nothing. Right now, I don't take interest in Ravenwing or any other tom. If I "rejected" you, then I've rejected pretty much every tom in SeaClan! Look at yourself! You look like you can claw my heart out right now if you wanted to!”
[She hadn't realized that her teeth were bared the whole time. She cursed inwardly and tried to calm herself, her hackles beginning to lie flat. She just hoped the tom hadn't taken this too far. Honestly, Robinsong didn't even know what she had done to upset him.]_______________________________

L i g h t n i n g s t r i k e"Vigilance is to be the only one to stick with it until the end, no matter the obstacles surrounding the victory."______________________________________ [Lightningstrike didn't even hear what Robinsong had said, his whole body was shaking in fear. The hatred in his eyes was replaced by immense fear. He back away, more fearful than he had ever been in his life.
He had no idea what was happening. The voice kept repeating itself. Kill her, kill, kill, kill. . . Lightningstrike stepped on a dry twig and leapt around, unaware of how stupid he looked. All he could hear was the voice. He kept backing away, his hackles raised and his eyes bugged out in fear. He could see nothing. He could smell nothing but a rank scent, that of crowfood. That of infected cats. . . He could hear nothing but the taunting voice.]
"No. . .no. . . NO!" was all he could utter. He started whispering it, but it soon turned into a yowl.
[Everything inside of him was screaming for him to run, but his paws couldn't move. It felt as if his paws were giant mountains and he was a tiny mouse. He began to sway. He began to get dizzy. he kept uttering that word and kept backing away, nothing in his body but fear. He was shaking like a leaf. His eyes were bugged out anmd rolling in fear. Something was happening, but what?!] ______________________________________

R o b i n s o n g“Beauty has two edges, one of laughter, one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder.”_______________________________________[Robinsong jumped up in suprise as Lightningstrike did from the twig. Her eyes wide with confusion and fear for the tom, she watched the terror sparkling in his amber eyes.]
What is StarClan's name is wrong with this tom?!
[Her fur fluffed out to twice its already thick size, she tried to approach Lightningstrike. She padded tentatively up to him from behind.]
“Lightningstrike?”[She questioned softly, but just then, the silver and black tom began to whimper 'no' repeatedly. It looked like insanity had gripped him, and it didn't help when he began to sway on his paws. Gasping, she leapt to his side and used her shoulder to support him. “Someone, fetch Cloudfang!”
[Robinsong yowled to her Clanmates as she felt the massive tom's body shiver. Fear for Lightningstrike's life gripped her heart. What was happening to him?!]_______________________________

L i g h t n i n g s t r i k e"Vigilance is to be the only one to stick with it until the end, no matter the obstacles surrounding the victory."______________________________________ [Lightningstrike's body shuddered. He felt a pelt against him, and every instinct told him to run. Run, far away. His mind was completely blocked, the mysterious voice turned into vicious snarling.
Kill her, you fool! She's right next to you! She'll only bring you more pain! Kill her already!
Lightningstrike's mind was completely consumed. It was as if he had the Madness, but he didn't. This was Madness right from the source: the Slayer.
Lightningstrike suddenly regained his balance. His amber eyes glittered once again. His teeth were bared in a vicious snarl, and he turned on Robinsong. He stalked toward her, insanity in his amber eyes.
Noo! Help me, StarClan! was his last cry as his mind was consumed an sanity left him.
StarClan is powerless against us, you fool. And now, I have you under my control, and I will kill that wretched she-cat and remove the pain from your life.
Lightningstrike was utterly helpless against this force inside of him. It was as if the Madness had taken over, yet this was only temporary! Lightningstrike stepped back and lunged at Robinsong, only to miss and slam headfirst into the rock, slumping to the ground, unconscious.] ______________________________________

R o b i n s o n g“Beauty has two edges, one of laughter, one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder.”_______________________________________[Robinsong yowled in anger and fear as she arched her back and hissed at Lightningstrike as he prepared to attack. When he lunged, she just barely moved out of the way, and he knocked himself unconscious. Holding her breath in fear, Robinsong's eyes widened at she watched the tom.]
He tried to kill me...Lightningstrike is...insane...If I let him wake up, he'll probably try it again...He'll try to kill me...But why? Wait...Insanity doesn't need a purpose...I should...kill him. Just like Ashheart and Darkstream...I should kill him...
[Robinsong's legs moved towards the tom, even though her heart begged her not to. Her claws unsheathed once more as she approached. Now, standing right next to his body, Robinsong loomed over his head. She stared down at him, slowly raising a paw into the air, claws extended and aimed for his throat.
Then, realization hit her.]
What am I doing?!! How could I even think about killing a Clanmate?! Not to mention, again, and in front of the whole Clan!! No! This isn't right!! Lightningstrike would never try to kill a Clanmate, no matter how angry he was!! Something was wrong with him...
[Robinsong instantly sheathed her claws and put her paw back down. Her wide, fearful heterochromatic eyes scanned the clearing, praying that no cat saw what she'd almost done.]_______________________________
