"Blood...Gang? What's a BloodGang?" Match asked, backing away from Fiver slightly. Her words chilled him to the bone. All past anger and frustration was gone. "Fiver, are you all right?" he asked softly, wincing as he remembered his own wounds. I wish Alley was here... she'd understand, he thought, his eyes sweeping the clearing. He still saw nothing, but it seemed the others didn't either. Suddenly snapping back to reality, he lightly touched Mimi with his tail. "You ok?" he asked, keeping his optics trained on Fiver, who had collapesed. The black she-cat stood over her, murmuring. Splatters of blood were all over the little clearing, and Match could feel the sticky crimson liquid on his own pelt. He slowly sat down, catiously washing himself. "What does it all mean?" he whispered to himself.

My eyes wide with shock, and my head buzzing with horror, I backed away from Fiver. I shook my head, as if hoping the movement would keep me from panicking. I saw Mimi and Match's horrified and confused faces. Suddenly... I understood.
The day I met those two BloodGang cats in the forest... they told me they were rounding up new members by force. If that's true, and if Fiver just had a premonition... that means today is that day!

I thought of BloodGang cats stalking through the territory, ganging up on cats to force them to join a deadly cult. My stomach tied knots in itself as I looked over Match, Fiver, and Mimi. I may stand a chance against the BloodGang cats, but with Fiver and Match wounded, and Mimi just a kit, would they fall victim?
My heart pounded in my chest. Time was running short.
"They're coming," I spoke, trying to hide the panic in my voice. "Cats who don't care who they hurt as long as they get them to join a cult... one that may use them in suicide missions. Especially kittypets, I'm guessing. There's too many to fight!
"Fiver, Mimi, you two are kittypets. As long as you stay inside your nest, you are safe. But Match, you won't stand a chance against them with wounds!"

I swallowed against my rough throat, and looked around.
"Match, you'll have to come with me."

We could lose we could fail
Fiver
And the more minutes take
To make planer, or mistakes

No
Listen
The Silence
You should here

Dark optics narrowed as hey locked onto the ebonite she-cat, her mug parted and her light lyrics, were clouded over with darkness.
"No, only Mimi woule safe, and what right dowe have to only protect ouselves? Yeah I know, don't trust the insane cat, but listen.We have to warn the others, or the will
die, and sure I'm kittypet, but there's more then you know."
Her lyrics faded to a hiss in the end. Ivory and golden pelt, was lifted from the blood-pattered ground, her muscle clearly could be seen under her short pelt. Before she looked around at all the cats n the clearing.
"We must warn the others oefall the same fate trying. we coul ose,we could fail. We have to stop this..."

I felt respect grow toward Fiver as she spoke with passion. I saw her determination in wanting to help other cats.
"Fiver... I understand your desire to help other cats, but it may be too late. It would take too long to travel to every rogue, loner, and kittypet's home. You could risk yourself getting caught, and wouldn't have the chance to help free them. I know the Clans are the BlodGang's target, so we could join them in battle. But for now, Fiver, it's best t make sure that there's hope left for those victims."

I looked at her with a steady, sad gaze.

[L a m b]

30 minutes to bless thirty lives
Fiver
30 minutes to finally decide

You know you can't talk the insane
in to being sane

Fiver's optics matched the ebonite she-cats, before she looked down at her pads, anger sparking in her optics, and she foudn herself wondering which path to choose, the one that lead down anger and hate, or the one that could save others. Her small skull lifted, as she gazed back at the ebonite she-cat, knowing they could and the ebonite cat doubted angered her. hE rmug parted, and lyrics that were usually light were dark, cold, iClandic...
"fine you three leave, if their coming they'll be here soon, I'm not safe at the two-legged place, it's run down, and the man he is...Anyhow, go, run, I don't have much of a choice...I can hide, knowing they'll find me, I can run, knowing they'll catch me. "

Mimi stared at the scene, a sinking feeling in her gut. Should I really go home? Without helping them at all. Leave all the cats that might fall victim to them? She looked up at Pantheress, Match and Fiver, frowning.
Then she shook her little pelt and began to pad off back home. Looking over her shoulder, Mimi watched the cats talk quietly. She would be safe finding her way home. Unless they're already in Twolegplace... She blocked out the thoughts and scented the air. If she was right... home was to the east. Looking out at the huge town, monsters crawling everywhere, she didn't fancy her chances.

Can we fly? Do we stay?
We could lose we could fail
Fiver
And the more minutes take
To make planer, or mistakes

I know
We shouldn't seperate
that's what they want.

A yowl erupted from her vocals, calling back Mimi, if the kit left now, she could be the first. Audits flickered back,, and then forward twisting every way to catch all the sounds, they weren't here yet, but how long? Her mug parted, and lyrics echoed through the clearing, hushed..
"If you stay together you'll be safe, if we stay together, it might work. They want us to split up, if you think about, then they could just pick us off one by one. It be to easy if we split up, and the kittypets couldn't hide forever, evetaunlly they'll get caught...One way or another."
Lyricsmade perfect since, as she clawed over them, that's what the strange cats wanted wasn't it?

"No," I yowled. "Mimi, go home. Go as fast as you can. Staying with us will obviously ensure her meeting BloodGang cats."
I shot Fiver a look of annoyance, then softened my emerald gaze.

"Fiver, I understand your desire to warn the others, and I will not stop you. In fact, I respect you for it... you'd better hurry."
Part of me wanted to go with her, to run through the territories and help save cats, but when I looked back at Match, blood-stained and weary, I knew I couldn't leave him to fend for himself.

Knowing that Fiver now had a quest, I turned to the ripped and beaten tom. His face still showed a look of confusion and shock, and I rested my tail upon his shoulder.
"C'mon Match, we need to get going. I have herbs in my den to heal your wounds, but that's all the way in the Gnarled Forest. Be careful on that leg," I added, sniffing a particularly deep wound.

I padded away with Match at my side, heading toward the Gnarled Forest.

Please, please let us make it there in time!

[♫ E§he ♥]

Continued in the Gnarled Forest!

Fear me...Lol Jk, waits..

(Dear Eshe, I do believe you just powerplayed XD)

Match hesitated. He was so confused. A cult of evil cats... going after the Clans? He knew there were some other cats living in the forest, but he'd never heard of the 'Clans.' And if these cats were also recruiting kittypets and loners, they must have something big planned. "I'm not sure what's going on... Pantheress. And Fiver's right; We can't just leave Mimi. Someone should at least help her home. She's wandered a long way... I could do it. I can handle it," he mumbled, trying to go after Mimi. However, he stumbled and flinched at the pain in his shoulder, blowing away his words. He stood there, unsure. When it seemed Pantheress had made up her mind, he hesitantly followed her. "Mimi, I want you to run as fast as the legened Cheetas!!" he called over his shoulder, then added, "Be very careful!" with that, he scrambled after the coal-black rouge, eyes flicking back to Mimi until she was out of sight.
