Flame kept to the shadows on the outskirts of Moonclan territory. Her ginger fur radiated in the moonlight while her turquoise eyes flashed. She was hoping to see her sister, Pinesong. She hadn't spoken to her sister in moons and she wondered if her sister would even talk to her after the last time they had come face to face where Pinesong had struck her. But then again, Flame new she had deserved it. Now, Flame had a temporary alliance with Nightclan and was often staying with them between her times spent with the Primal Instinct cats. Although Flame felt the greed for power, it was something with her sister that could always slow her down and make her think. She probably wouldn't admit it, but she missed Pinesong. Memories of them together before she left the clan flashed before her eyes, causing a prick in her heart and a single tear formed. She quickly wiped it away and shook away the memories. She didn't want Pinesong to know that she was breaking. She didn't want anyone to know she was breaking. She always came off evil and cold but inside, her heart was warming and the ice surrounding it was melting. She wasn't sure why, exactly, but ever since she had stolen Burningstar's kits back and had come face to face with her younger siblings, something changed. She had even rescued her younger siblings from a fox recently. She couldn't understand why she was feeling this way but it was scaring her. She needed her sister so she made the time to come find her.
Pinesong often hung around near the outskirts of MoonClan's territory. She enjoyed the relative solitude that it provided. Pinesong was missing her sister more now than ever, she had so much to talk about and tell her, it wasn't something she felt she could talk to Timberfrost about and she wasn't sure if she wanted to get their mother involved at the moment. On rare occasions Pinesong would catch the brief scent of her sister, carried on the breeze, usually near the NightClan border. She figured her sister was hanging about the area but the scent always stirred a longing inside Pinesong to go and find out what Flamingsoul was up to. Flamingsoul went by Flame now, but would always be Flamingsoul to Pinesong, she had a hard time referring to her sister by simply Flame, it just didn't feel right. Pinesong halted in her tracks, she picked up the quick turquoise flash and the scent again. She knew she wasn't imagining it. She knew it just as well as she knew her own scent. "Flamingsoul?" Pinesong called out quietly. She didn't want to draw attention to herself if any Clanmates happened to be in the area. "Flamingsoul is that you?"
(Lol yeah! I love that song <3 it reminds me so much of them!)
"Pinesong" Flame greeted, rising to her paws from a crouched position and stepping out from the shadows. "Your here." She wanted to breathe a sigh of relief to see her sister but Flame kept a cold shelled appearance, hoping to fool Pinesong into being oblivious to Flame's inner shell breaking. The ginger soldier looked much like her father except a nasty scar stretched across her muzzle and instead of her turquoise eyes being soft like her father's, they blazed like pits of blue fire.
"How've you been? I've missed you! I have so much to tell you!" Pinesong said excitedly bounding over the MoonClan border and touching her nose to her sister's, purring happily. "What happened to your face?" She asked, noticing the scar along Flame's muzzle. "You didn't have that the last time I saw you!"
Flame flinched back when Pinesong bounded up to her and touched noses. As much as she wanted to press into her sister like old times, she refrained. She rubbed the scar on her muzzle with her paw, "Ive had it since I joined Primal Instinct. Guess you just havent noticed. Scenescence gave it to me when I was a prisoner." She looked at her sister, her fire and ice gaze slightly softening. "Er...how have you been?" She asked awkwardly.
Pinesong stared at Flame for several seconds before responding. Had she really not noticed it before? She'd never understand why Primal Instinct treated its own members and even their prisoners with so much disregard and cruelty. She also noticed her sister shrink back from her touch and it stung Pinesong slightly. She missed the days when she and Flame were close, she sat down and curled her tail around her paws. "I've been good!" She responded, slightly awkwardly, unsure how Flame would react to her news. "I'm expecting kits." she said, searching Flame's gaze, desperately looking for some sort of reaction, hoping it wouldn't be negative. Both her and their father were thrilled and the Clan needed more warriors.
Flame's eyes widened but it wasnt in excitement. Her brows crisped at the creases and her jaws parted in a silent gasp. "What?" Had she really been gone for so long? Had she really missed so much time to spend with her sister before she was pregnant? Who was this tom any way? Who was he to steal her sister? She flexed her claws and drew her lips back into a snarl but then realized that this wasnt right. They were grown cats now. She had every right to start a family. Hadnt she been looking for a family too? She still didnt like the fact that her sister had a mate and was expecting kits. How could she have not known? She sheathed her claws and relaxed, sitting back down and curling her tail neatly around her paws. "Wh-who is this tom, anyway?" She asked, her eyes narrowed.
Pinesong's face fell slightly at Flame's reaction. She was hoping for slight interest on her part. For a split second Pinesong prepared to have to defend herself when Flame's claws unsheathed and she started to snarl. "Do you remember Grandsky?" Pinesong asked hesitantly, she was slightly afraid that telling Flame who her mate was would put in him danger, but a part of her trusted that her sister would not harm him, she wouldn't really hurt her in that way, would she? "He's the Lunar Guard Captain. Him and his father used to live in NightClan but they joined MoonClan some time ago." Pinesong explained.
Pinsong scoffed, "Its just like Moonclan to bring in outsiders isn't it? Nothings changed." She looked at Pinesong and then her sisters growing belly and then back again. Then an eerie smile stretched across Flame's cheek and her voice softened in a bone chilling way "Ah, yes, I remember Grandsky but Ive never formally met him."
"Him and his father have been a part of the Clan for a long time, practically as long as we've been alive!" Pinesong said in defense of her mate. Pinesong immediately felt uneasy at her sister's eerie smile. She didn't like it when Flame got that look. "He's really nice to me and he's going to be a wonderful father to our kits. I'm just sad that they won't know their aunt." Pinesong said matter of factly.
Flame's smile disappeared and her eyes narrowed. "They'll know me, Pinesong. I haven't completely let Moonclan go. I still want revenge. I almost had it the other night until mother stopped me. I had a Moonclan apprentice in my grasp. Moonpaw, to be exact" she mewed, her unsettling smile returning. Her eyes dropped to Pinesong's belly and then back up again and she smirked. "You can't escape me, sister. Weve been through this before. Im coming for Moonclan. After all, I was part of the raid in Moonclan where we stole those kits that rightfully belonged to Burningstar" she lifted her paw and began examining her claws. "I have big plans, Pinesong. Moonclan will crumble. Its only too bad that by the time I was powerful enough to take on the clan, Silverstar rebuilt it. But luckily, I have alliances and great plans. If your nice, perhaps Id let your kits live." She put her paw back down and grinned. Flame knew she was bluffing but she wanted to strike fear into Moonclan and she hoped Pinesong would blab her mouth. After all, causing fear is half the battle. As much as she wanted to watch cats die and a clan to fall, she never had the heart to harm kits let alone her own blood. However, she did have a plan. That much was true. Along with plenty of alliances and her plan was coming into place. As long as everything kept going the way it was, Moonclan would fall and Flame would rise.
"Why do you have to be the way that you are?" Pinesong demanded angrily, lashing her tail. "This isn't you. You would never harm kits, especially mine! Your own blood!" Pinesong hissed. "I'm happy in MoonClan and you've found your place within Primal Instinct. Why can't you just let it go? or at the very least take revenge only on the cats who hurt you. Why do you have to drag everyone else into this mess? I refuse to allow you to drag my kits into it. They've done no harm."
Flame met Pinesong's gaze calmly. "They have Moonclan blood. Your clan has always been soft. Its pathetic. Why not do a little bit of...extermination. I will make Moonclan fall. The territory will belong to me. I could spare you and your kits life. All you have to do is join me."
"I'll never betray my Clan!" Pinesong hissed. "I think that Silverstar is going to make the Clan strong again! You have MoonClan blood, ancient MoonClan blood and we're related to some of the best leaders and warriors MoonClan ever had. But I see no point in arguing with you over it. You won't change my mind and I won't change yours and I didn't come here to argue with you."
"Because I had happy news to share with you and I thought you'd be happy for me! You've found happiness and your place within Primal Instinct and I've finally found happiness for myself and I thought we could reconnect over that but I guess I'm wrong." Pinesong responded, hurt filling her face and eyes.
Flame stared for a long moment at her sister, hanging on to the silence. She opened her mouth to speak but then quickly closed it. She wasnt exactly sure what to say. Pinesong wanted to reconnect with her and that seemed to jog a long lost memory. Suddenly, a memory flash before her eyes. The one where her and Pinesong were running through the forest together when snow fell from the night sky. The memory where they came to a field and Flame had made a promise to Pinesong to always protect her and always be there for her. As the memory faded, pain stabbed her heart. She had broken her promise and now her sister was having kits and they would never know their aunt...at least not in the way she would have hoped when they were kits. For a moment, the darkness faded from her eyes and they almost looked warm. "Why do you keep trying?" She asked, searching Pinesong's gaze and sharing the hurt.
"Because I know the real you. You're brave, loyal, and above all you care deeply for your kin. I'm sorry life was so hard for you in MoonClan, I honestly had no idea how hard it was and I wish everyday I could turn back time and fix it or at least maybe have been there for you more than I was. It hurts me to see what you've become." Pinesong answered, stepping forward and touching her nose to Flame's cheek. She missed the days when they ran around MoonClan's territory as apprentices, they were some of Pinesong's fondest memories and she wished more than anything that they could share some of those moments again.
She allowed Pinesong to touch her and for a split second, she wanted to do the same but instead, she withdrawled. "That was the old me. The weak me. The me that believed in nursery tales and dreamed of being leader of Moonclan. But that's all they were, dreams." She turned her head away, not meeting Pinesong's gaze. "I'm not innocent anymore, Pinesong. I've killed cats, watched the light drain from their eyes under my claws. Listened to their screams without batting an eye." She looked back at her sister, the same darkness returning to her turquoise eyes. "I'm not the same kit you knew in the nursery. I've changed. Everything has changed. I'm a cold blooded killer with a greed for power. You can't save me...I'm already gone."
"Since when did showing kindness and mercy become a weakness? Caring for those around you is the mark of a great leader. You've made mistakes, Flame, but you can change." Pinesong responded quietly. She knew her attempts to change Flame's mind were feeble at best, Flame didn't seem to want to change, she seemed to like her new life. "If MoonClan needs a stronger leader than you should have stayed, worked your way up to leader and made the changes."
