Hairs on End

[Zeporah]

Milk-honey eyes rove across the terra. The she-cat's mouth was open, taking in every scent she possibly could. There was still cat-scent here, but it seemed dead compared to the strong, almost choking, scents of other cats. Wariness of them cats drove her away from their territorial boundaries, but here... here seems safe enough for a queen-expecting. Satisfied, the bi-colored tabby queen stalked quietly through the stems of the bush she'd been hiding under, flicking her tail in commandment for her two sons to follow her. Belly fur brushing the grass, Zeporah crept further into the clearing until she reached the middle. It was there that she dared to sit upright, pleased that she felt no other dangers within the area. Sitting, the she-cat carefully groomed her swelling belly, trusting that her sons would follow and do the same. After a few licks the she-cat raised her head, and breathed in the cool scents of leaf-fall's air. Appeased, the queen looked over her shoulder, expecting her son's duo heads peering at her expectantly... but she wouldn't be surprised if they were making explorations of their own.

[Featherstar]

A head that the she-cat probably hadn't been expecting appeared instead. A solid black head. Bringer of Night's head. Hello there, she-cat. She purred icily. Might I ask what you are doing here? Night stalked up and sat near the cat but far enough away to catch her if she tried to run. Bane doesn't like tresspassers on, or near, his territory. And you wouldn't want to anger Bane. The Bombay laughed, quietly, coldly.

[Zeporah]

Tabby capped tiara swung to the side, her yellow eyes narrowing as she instinctively sensed the approaching head of a cat... And one that she immediately didn't like. Swiveling her feminesque head, the tabby queen opened her maw to draw in the scent of this new cat. Tom, obviously, and he reeked of a scent just as strong and terrible as the other territories the she-cat skirted from. Rising to a standing position, her slightly swollen belly giving evidence to what she was, before she let out a low, defying growl. "You're scent is new to me, tom, so I'm pretty sure I have yet to come even a tail-length from this Bane's territory. Now unless you have nothing better to do then to bother this ol' queen, then I suggest you high-tail it out of here."

Her back rose, and the sleek fur that once lay flat now extended, enlarging her lithe frame considerably. Sheathing and unsheathing her claws, Zeporah made no move towards the newcomer, but she made it perfectly clear that she wasn't about to back down. Even her hindclaws flexed, giving the queen anchorage to the loam beneath, though there was no need for one of her toes, which was permanently flexed thanks to an old swelling that never went away.

[Featherstar]

//Night's a girl. Just so ya know.

"then I suggest you high-tail it out of here,"Night mocked in a high pitched voice. Yeah right kittypet! And as for that little act trying to scare me off, raised fur, unsheathed claws, she stood and raised her hackels and hissed, well, I can do it too. The black cat swayed from side to side, wondering, almost hoping, the small she-cat would attack. She'd show her who was the stronger she-cat.

[Featherstar]

Blue-green eye narrowed. A figure shot out from behind a shrub and pounced on the mocking black she-cat before his mother had a chance to move. Leave my mother alone!he hissed. Yang, the attacker, swiped at his mother's enemy and drew blood from her shoulder. If you want someone to fight with, fight me! He ducked as the she-cat tried to bang him on the head with one of her paws but was knocked off his feet by another when he tried to get her again.

[allyaliboo4]

Yin growled and followed his brother into battle. He unsheathed his claws and his neck-fur bristled as he looked around the dark cave. He saw Yang clinging to the back of the black she-cat.
"Watch how you talk to our mother, you worthless pile of fur!" Yin hissed, and aimed a blow at Night's face.

[Featherstar]

Yang leapt up as soon as he was knocked down and tried jumping up on the she-cat's back. He wraped his legs around the black cat and tried to claw at her soft belly while he grabbed her neck fur with his teeth to help him hang on.


When the second tom landed the blow to her face, Night yowled. As the first tom jump on her back, she began to buck like a rodeo bronco, Get off me, fox dung! she screeched as she swiped her claws at the other's eye, hoping to blind him.

[allyaliboo4]

Yin saw claws coming at him and ducked, but not in time. The blow hit his ear, and it bled badly. He yowled and leaped to scratch at Night's flanks.

[Featherstar]

Night dodged the blow to her flank and returned with a jump at the tom with the white face. (Yin) she finally threw the other off her back and ran a short distance before turning around to face the toms. Come and get me!

[allyaliboo4]

Yin looked at Yang and smiled.
"I sure will, mousebrain," he purred. Yin reared back onto his hind legs and began to swat at Night's face with both forepaws.

((Ooc: SHORTNESSSSS...sorry 'bout that XD))

[Zeporah]

Zeporah eyed her adversary much like she would a mouse, not even put out that the she-cat mocked her. One thing did puzzle her, though, and that was the reference of 'kittypet'. She's never heard that before, but it couldn't be anything nice, given the black she-cat's tone. Step for step she neared closer, tail bristling in a black plume behind her, but before she could even come a leap's distance, two black and white blurrs launched themselves upon her tormentor. With a smug expression, Zeporah wiggled in closer, knowing that the she-cat would be busy with her two adult sons. Even so, she still couldn't land a bite for the fae to remember her by the time she was able to scrabble from the mess of wiry toms that were upon her.

Safe a little distance away, she beconed the fight to her, which Yin and Yang promptly entrusted to. "Yin! Yang! That's enough!" Zeporah yowled, pawing up to her two sons till she stood betwix them. Zeporah's tabby tail brushed against Yang, then Yin, a simple thanks to her two boys. "That's right, dog's breath, tell your Bane that I'm not here to cause trouble, but if he wants to bring it, don't count on me being a gracious host." She snarled, before walking around Yin and back to the middle of the clearing, where she sat, and promptly began to wash her belly.
Oh *giggles* My bad. ^_^

[allyaliboo4]

Yin ackowledged his mother's thanks by nodding, then realising what she had really said.
"But, mom, this mousebrain is trying to kill you! What, do you think we'll just stand here and watch it?" Yin whipped his head around to see his mother standing a few tail-lengths away. "Because we won't." he added warningly. He would never watch his mother--and his unborn siblings--be slaughtered, and he knew Yang definitely wouldn't, either. His mother--Zeporah--couldn't possibly expect that they would?

((Ooc: Is Bane gonna walk into this at some point?))

[Zeporah]

The older queen looked up from her washings, amber gaze looking to her son, Yin, who possessed the odd white swoosh across his facade. Her eyes scrutinized the tom, before she mewed a reply. "Don't be mouse-brained... I'd like to see her try!" Tabby tail swished from side to side with annoyance, for her gaze had traveled to the fae in question. With a snarl and a spit, she lept up to her paws and charged the black she-cat that still had not left the premises. Lacking the size and weight to bowl her over, Zeporah dodged to the side, knowing that the she-cat would be expecting the a direct attack since she could easily see it coming. Her claws hissed in the air with the speed and ferocity of the attack, and one, that if not countered, could easily leave a good size gash on the she-cat's neck and shoulder. "Leave dogbreath!" Zeporah hissed, putting all her weight on her haunches. A high-pitched growl escaped her throat, a simple threat that would be followed up if she didn't.

[Featherstar]

ooc: Sorry it took me so long to post you guys.

Yang backed off the black she-cat at his mother's command, Yes'm. he grunted. But he still wen't to sit next to his brother, protectivly behind their mother. No one could touch her while they were around.


Night almost smiled at the she-cat's bravery. Almost. What she did do was stalk around the trio into BoneClan's actual territory and hiss, If any of you ever set paw on BoneClan's territory, I'll personally rip your throats out. She then glided away, into the shadows and decay that was BoneClan.

[Zeporah]

The tabby and white queen glared defiance to the she-cat's back as she walked off into her own terra. Her last threat hit Zeporah's ears, but she was not concerned with it. Like she'd ever come wailing and trembling up to her, she'd rather beg to a dog for food then to see that smug grin on the dog-dung-of-a-she-cat's. Relaxing, Zeporah kept a trained eye on the foliage that the she-cat disappeared into, before slowly turning back to her two boys, her tail lashing from side to side as she went over the scene that had past. As she came within a tail's length of her two sons, her agitation evaporated like mist in the morning. Purring, her honey-suckle eyes glowing with pride, the queen began licking first one, then another black ear. "So fierce!" she praised, "A mother couldn't ask for better sons..." This went on for a while, Zeporah fussing over the scratch in Yin's ear and the patch of missing fur in Yang's.

[loutuskit]

Ice walked up to Zeporah (spelling?). Ice was a rouge kit, and since her mother passed away she has always looked up to Zeporah to protect her.

[loutuskit]

(( sorta like a foster mom it tat's ok wid you?))

[loutuskit]

(( If I screwed up on the first post I'll do it again...I screwed up many times today...many...))

[Zeporah]

(hmmm... It'll be an interesting twist... I got it, how about Zeporah 'adopting' the kit now, since it's unlikely they've met before. Sound good to you? )

[loutuskit]

(( I have no idea what you just said.....BUT IT SOUND GOOD!! LOL!! like I said down there in the chat box...I'm just being a dork today..))
