Pacing

[Tanglestar]

Stitch kept clawing a the two-leg kit, it yowled in pain, and threw its furless paws everywhere. Once, it struck him. Stitch fell off backward, injuring his leg. Shaking it off, with a glance at the two she-cats, leapt back up and kept clawing and biting. He could taste the two-leg blood on his tongue. It tasted much different then other cats'..... He hardly noticed the full grown two-leg male coming up rapidly after the two-leg kit. Stitch tried to get off and run to safety but he had him, holding him by his scruff, violently shaking him. Stitch felt the stitches on his side begin to break, tearing through his skin and fur, causing him to bleed. Blood began to mat him tan black spotted pelt. He tried to wiggle free, but the two-lets claws were digging hard into his flesh. Stitch yowled in pain, as the two-leg hurled him at a building near by as he helped his kit. Pain struck him like lightning in the city. A black shield started to curve around his eyes, making a funnel of darkness. He kept his eyes opened to search for Raven and Storm. He opened his mouth to yowl to them, to tell them to run while they had the chance. But nothing came out.
Glancing to the left, he saw a shining metal instrument in the two-legs hand. Small, and thin. It glinted in the late sunlight. A Gun! Stitch thought. As he lay in his own puddle of blood, he closed his eyes. Maybe for the final time. He awaited the huge banging sound. Waiting for the end. Waiting... for his death.

Tangles' got some MUSE!

Raven's eyes widened in horror. "NO!" her meow was herd by the injured two leg kit but unnoticed by the elder one. It raised the gun she pankicked. 'What to do...' she looked around despratley. The triger move, Raven bunched her hind legs ready to spring. Raven leaped, her eyes queezed shut. "Stitch!" Everything was quite, all she could here is the snap of the trigger, making the spring inside relase the bullet, it slambed through the air. Raven's eyes flew open, her heart stopped, claws exteneded. Pain rushed through her body, the bullet sliced through her body like the claws through a peace of prey. 'I it can't be over..." raven's body rinched as it hit the ground. Raven breathed short quick breaths, she looked at Stitch with sorrow filled eyes. Raven's laugh was only a whisper, "Games finally over." Her eyes closed and she smiled. Her stomach lay still, unmoving.

[Tanglestar]

Stitch let out an agonizing yowl that echoed off the walls of the two-leg alley. "You idiot!" He said to Raven's body through the tears welling in his eyes. "You're so stupid! It should have been me! It should have been me..." Pain kept shooting through his body. Blood still spilled out of his side. But Stitch placed his paws on Ravens side and pushed. Over and over. Where is Storm?? He asked himself. He continued to press on her side, trying to get her to breath. He would get himself killed if she was truly dead. However, it was hard to tell in the milky afternoon light. A sharp click interrupted his thoughts. Stitches gaze shot up to the two-leg male. He was putting more black stones into his shining stick. Stitch was mad. Not as in angry, but as in crazy. He let a horrifying growl slip up his throat. you... He thought to himself. Tears blurred his vision as he bunched his muscles and sprung up to the two-leg. His claws dug into his soft flesh under a soft cloth that was over his body. He ripped and tore, hearing the cloth rip in half under his paws. Furious, he kept clawing. The two-leg yowled in pain and swatted at him. Stitch hung on, not caring if he was hurt more. save her.... He thought inside. All he cared for was the life of his old friend. And if she dies, he dies. He closed his eyes and kept moving, working on his enemy. His fangs drew massive pieces of flesh off the two-leg. Suddenly, the giant silver stick scored him across his head, making him fall. He shook it off and scrabbled over to Raven, picking her up my her scruff and attempting to pick her up, and not drag her. He found a nice spot in the crevice of a metal two-leg can, and a hard stone building. He lay her down, and lapped at her fur. Between laps, he checked the scent for Storm. No trace of her at all. He snorted. "some leader," Pain engulfed him, but he took it over, turning his attention to his forever companion. Stitch was too scared to check to see if she had a pulse. He didn't want to know. "You were right," He told Ravens limp body. "You did catch that mouse, you didn't need to feed it to Storm..." He reflected back on the say before, when they both had a great time. "And," He took a shallow breath, wheezing. "Remember when you found me when I was younger? You said you wanted to prove if I was BloodClan material, and fought me. And we ended up batting at each other, playing around? I knew that we would get along great just because of that day..." He stroked her matted black fur with his paw, and lapped at the mats, untangling them. Rain began to pour, thumping against the tin two-leg instrument. Stitch curled protectively around Ravens body, keeping it warm and dry. He kept licking her fur.

Raven's eyes shot open, air gaped through her teeth, willingley giving her life. Ravens thoughts were cluttered, mashing to gether, Stitch, Storm, two-legs, a gun. All slamed into her head causeing her to creng in pain. She let out a crusume yowl as the gashing wound lay open on her side. smooth salty tears began to fall at the beat of the rain. Raven shivered, suddenley warmed by the pelt protecting her. Her breaths your fast and shallow. Raven eventually came to have a half smile across her face, winds seemed to cover her words. "I told you. You have to fend for yourself around here." Raven took a deep breath, "I can't keep saving your life." RAvens smiled disapeared as she closed her eyes. Raven flutter into dreams. though seeming like flash backs.

Raven ran laughing as stitch fallowed leaping into the air. Raven fell and was soon on her back with Stitch concering the battle.

Raven batted a leaf infront of her nose when she was young just learning the ways of bloodcan. When coming across alost cat ready for a battle to prove himself.

The laughing times of battleing stitch through the alleys, making him prove his ways of Bloodclan.

Raven jurked again from sleep. Her dark pelt scraping Stitches pelt as she fell down inpain once more. Raven pulled the tears from her eyes. keeping others from eascaping. No one has seen her cry, or creng at pain that percied her side. "And no one should." She pulled her self to her paws. Holding in the will to fall and cry asleep. She looked down at stitches sleeping body, "Your the idot stitch, trying to help me when your the one who needs help." She shook her head, "The only one to help is your leader and your self.'' RAven tryed to keep her self from snapping his head off. She held her head high, forgiving him. "Now were can we find some food?" Raven started to walk forward. RAven meowed in the pain scratching aginst her pelt, ripping into her spine. Raven fell to the ground, taers fell to the ground causeing puddles to form. For the first time in her life the words came to her mouth, her whispers seem to be covering the wind in echos bounceing off the walls of the the tin, "I can't do it...." raven lay on the cold hard ground in defeet.

[Tanglestar]

Stitch was overcome with joy to see Raven alive. "you're ok... He thought. His eyes grew heavy, and he vanished into sleep.

It was the middle of the night. Stitch woke up, Raven was gone. He felt where she was sleeping, it was still rather warm. He smirked, and glanced at his pelt. It was clumped together with blood. In fact, his fur looked scarlet and maroon. He licked at it quickly and harshly, and got most of it off. He frowned at his stitches across his side. They were busted open, and still leaking blood. But that wasn't important right now. He was mostly glad Raven was alive and they were together again.

Stitch stretched as much as he could without damaging himself more. With every step his muscles ached and his joints ached and his bones creaked. He hobbled along down the alley, the moon was high in the sky, half full. The wind whistled down the alley way, rattling the tin cans the humans used. Puddles lay in the alley ground from the rain, and small droplets trickled off the roofs of the buildings the two-legs use. Stitch checked for Ravens scent, and found it a little ways off. "Probably looking for food," Stitch told himself out loud as he continued to limp along the brick walls of the dens.

He saw a heap of black fur in the middle of the road. "Raven," He mrrowed. Luckily for him, she was still breathing. "Get up lazy bones." He joked. More affectionately, he layed down beside her and groomed her matted fur. "You okay?" He asked her. He really did care, even thought he joked around with her a lot. It was just the way they were. In the worst of darkness, they would find light.

Raven lay in the thunderpath not moveing. She was defeted...Raven looked up with sorrow filled eyes. "Stitch..." Her blood shot eyes began to burn with tears. "I cant do it any more." Raven lay her head on her paws, "Games over."

A roar of thunder swept threw the ground. shaking raven making her shrivel in pain of her wound. Raven looked up waitig for death to approach. Lights flickered on the monster. The roar blaring a growl. Raven turned her head, "I'm not leaving." She shut her eyes ready for the end, the darkness to end her life as she knew it. A screetch made Raven looked up. The monster was stairing down at the two Bloodclan cats. An offle smell swept through, "If death stinks this bad then m leaving." Raven tryed topick her self back up. "I'm not seeing death anytime soon." Raven's legs bucled under her. Her chin slamed onto the ground, Raven went limp. The tears fell without hesitation, her eyes red and hot. The montster fired up again. Backing up and wheeled in the oter direction. Raven was then left again in silence with stitch only a few tail lengths away. watching her break down. watching her die everythime she tryed.

[Tanglestar]

"You're better than this!" He tried, tears welling in his eyes. "When I first met you, you were my role model. I looked up to you. You were my light." He took a breath. "Now look at you. Lying in the road waiting to die!" He flicked his tail. "Who are you anymore? What happened to that she-cat I used to know?" He yowled. Rain began to pour again, flattening Stitches fur against his body. "You know Raven," He stated, "I never thought I'd be the one helping you up."

He stared into her helpless eyes. Thunder shook the ground again. Stitch scowled and heaved Raven up by her scruff off the Thunderpath and onto the sooty grass along side it. He stared at her long and hard. "I can't figure you out..." He muttered as a monster flew by them on the Thunderpath, spraying nasty gasses and rainwater onto them.

Raven swatted at the tom trying to help her. [b]"Get off me!"[/b][/color] Raven fell onto the grass, pain over whelmed her. "Why do you keep trying? What wrong with you?" The icey cold water splashed onto her wound makeing it burn. The muddey water that covered her pelt help hid the tear falling onto the grass. "Well, maybe you dont need too." Raven sat her two front legs up careful to touch her bullet wound. Ravens eyes meet with Stitches. Her ember eyes bruned his. "You can't keep doing this. You have to fend for your self. and stop worrying about me." Raven bent her head chewy on the black leather collar. Carefl not to touch any of the teeth standing on the outside. helping protect her neck for any battle.[/size]

[Tanglestar]

"Fend for myself? I'm too busy fending for you!" He snapped. "You're not the same cat you used to be Raven. If I left you right now, you'd go on and kill yourself somehow!" He explained. something is very wrong. Raven is messed up..... Or somethings messing her up. He looked into her eyes. They werent bright or full of life; they were dull, and unleading. The rain continued to patter on their pelts and on the thunderpath, making their fu sodden.

[Rainstar]

Raven was crouched and watched the rain run down hill through her paws on the thunderpath. The cold black service sent a shiver up her spine. "You want me to live? Okay then." Raven slowly came out of the crouching pasition. The gaping wound found itself vonerable to the rain and burned as droplets of water spilled in. Pain was every thing now. Raven laughted, "The only way to tell if your alive is to see if you can feel pain."

[Tanglestar]

"Good point.." Stitch let out a crooked grin. Raven was acting more normal now. "Let me get you under some shelter." He told her, touching his tail to her back. His stitches were popped opened, and blood still bubbled out every now and then. But the rain washed it off as it came, making it appear clean. He found a overhang of off two-leg material, and lead Raven there. She was limping badly, they should get back to BloodClan soon. But what would Storm think? He shook off that thought, as he remembered what the mangy she-cat did during the invasion and battle. She ran. Ran away like a kit. He bared his teeth in frustration, but calmed down for Ravens sake.

"Here's a nice place," He told her, curling up in a dry corner. The wind was blocked from them, keeping them nice and warm. "Take a seat."

[/size]

[Rainstar]

Raven walked slowley into the over hang, her eyes filled with sadness. "I dont want to go back...." Ravens eyes met with Stitches.

[Tanglestar]

Stitch's slight crooked grin fell into a straight face as he listened to his kithood friend. "But Raven, BloodClan gave us everything we needed. Shelter, and food, and-" After thinking more, he thought about how BloodClan had not given them all that much. Their leader abandoned them in a great time of need. And they never had true friends, except from each other. He began to frown. "You know Raven, maybe you're right. Maybe we should live alone for a while. And if we realize we need to go back, we can. No bid deal." Stitch shrugged. He padded beside his friend and wrapped his tabby tail around her, and rubbed his head against hers. "I'll always be here for you, like a big brother." He noted to her, in a soft voice. The softest he's ever used.

[Rainstar]

Raven lost her self in his voice. She shook her head. "Yeah well, were should we go?" She rested her head on his shoulder.

[Tanglestar]

occ: Ooooo I sense some love comin' 'long.

Stitch cocked his head to where it lay on Ravens. "Depends. Somewhere with plenty of prey, and a safe warm place to stay," He described, thinking hard.
