"What does he mean, 'Kill until you are the last cat standing?'" Ravenstar questioned, though mostly to herself. The she-cat's white-tipped tail quivered with thought.

A smaller, black and white tom with chilling, ice blue eyes padded up and sat beside Onestar. "I don't know, but all I do know is that Tigerstar is behind this!" The small cat spat out the word like a rotten piece of prey. Foxstar rose to her paws and stepped over to the tom.

Bending down until she met the black cat's eye level, she mewed, "We will find this out Scourge, but until then, we must refrain from killing." The she cat paused to look at Brightstar. "Some of us are on our last life," looking back at Scourge she finished with, "and some of us were only given one more chance." Scourge flicked his ears, acknowledging what the larger cat had said.

Another voice rose up, the voice of a large, muscular white tom with black paws, "We must think this through. Why only now, would these cats want us here, to fight to the death, when they'd had plenty of other chances. We also don't know if we'll go back to our Clans the first time we die, or until we've lost all our lives. And as far as I know," Blackstar turned to look at Leafstar, who was sitting not too far off, sitting quietly, " Tigerstar has had no quarrel with SkyClan, as for they had just recently come to the lake." Leopardstar shook her head.

"I think that Fox Heart just wanted revenge on all Clan cats, so taking the leader of SkyClan would also greatly effect us, whether or not Leafstar had anything to do with him or not." The spotted tabby meowed, working her claws at the soft ground.

The cool and calm voice of the CloudClan leader, Mousestar, spoke finally. "I think that this is wonderful! All of the weak ones put up against each other, only to find that it had all been for nothing!" The leader's ice blue gaze sent chills down Foxstar's spine, and made her fur stand on end. 

"What in the name of StarClan are you talking about, Mousestar?" Firestar's meow sounded weary and on edge, as if he sounded unsure about talking to this crazed cat.

No wonder why CloudClan can't get allies... Mousestar's got more bees in her brain than a bee's nest!

"What do you think I'm talking about? I'm talking about how this is the perfect opportunity to... well... test each other's durability!" With that, Mousestar unsheathed her claws and leaped for the nearest cat, who happened to be Brightstar. The light orange she cat yelped and tried to fight back, but was easily pinned down by the much younger and stronger opponent.

Onestar, being much closer than any of the others, leaped in to protect the elder leader, and was successfully able to pry Mousestar off of her victim. Brightstar, though not greatly injured, was bleeding from her shoulder, and some of her fur was torn.

"You want to get out of here, right!" Mousestar hissed, squinting her eyes at the other cats. "But I don't know about you mouse brains, but I want to be able to see my Clan again!!" The brown and black she-cat licked her lips like she just spotted a juicy piece of prey.

Leafstar, who had been quiet the whole time, twitched her tail and flattened her ears against her head. "I think that if any cat were to die, they would be the one who thinks we should turn our backs on the Warrior Code, only to escape this nightmare for our own sake!"

Foxstar shook her head. "Although I will admit Mousestar's got bees in her brain, I don't think any one of us deserves to die, just for the sick pleasure of some dead evil cats."

Sorry for the wait, I've been held up with things like school, being grounded, and writers block. Although the writers block is not too bad right now *knocks on a piece of wood*, and I might be able to overcome it soon! *knocks on the wood again* Bai! X3
