can beat me?"
"Actually, if one happens to be of your clan, then you wouldn't be calling them weak, would you?" Blazestrike meowed.
"Whatever do you mean?" Darkmystery snarled.
"Hint hint." Blazestrike purred in amusement, flicking his tail in Ember's direction. Darkmystery's jaw dropped in horror and shock. "It can't be.."
"It is." Ember hissed angrily. "I'm sick of the way you treat me like a slave. So I betrayed you and brought some old friends of Moonsky's."
Darkmystery gave a evil laugh and flicked his tail at some of his clan, who charged at the SnowClan warriors. Moonsky escaped Blood's grip and rushed towards Blazestrike, but Darkmystery stopped her. "No you don't." He growled, picking her up by the scuff and running out of the cave. Deerleap noticed this and padded up to Blazestrike. "He's taken Moonsky up to the top of the mountain. We have to go save her." She meowed desperatly. Blazestrike nodded and rushed out with Deerleap at his side. Darkmystery was climbing up with Moonsky struggling. Blazestrike jumped up onto a high ledge and followed them, trying not to get spotted. The rain was still crashing down and lighting hung above their heads. Darkmystery had now reached the top and he seemed ready to breed Moonsky. Blazestrike hurled himself at Darkmystery, clawing his flank until it bled. Darkmystery snarled and shoved Blazestrike towards the edge of the mountain. The tom gulped. If he fell, it would fall to his death. Darkmystery crouched down until he was resting his head on the ground. "Any last requests before I send you down to your doom?" He growled. Deerleap was comforting Moonsky at the time, but she knew she had to act, even though her leg throbbed with pain. With all the power of StarClan, she charged into Darkmystery, sending him close to the edge. "I believe that you need to say your last words." She snarled, whipping him with her tail. Blazestrike tried to pull himself up the ledge, but he was caught by Darkmystery. He grabbed Blazestrike's scuff and threw him down onto the rocky ground. However, he became unblanced and was now hanging on the ledge by his claws. Deerleap bit into his ear and refused to let go. Darkmystery was a crafty cat, so he deicded to charm Deerleap to let him go. "You are very pretty, you know." He meowed calmly.
"I don't take to flirts." Deerleap growled, yanking his ear. Darkmystery ignored her and continued on. "It's a shame you are not appricated by the clan. You do so much, but nobody ever says thank you. I'm suprised to see that you don't have a mate, you've been lonely since Snowstar came to SnowClan."
"I haven't been lonely." Deerleap replied. "I've got friends. But you have a point about not being thanked. I never am." Darkmystery knew he would have to say some very nice comments to her, or he would die. He breathed in her scent and spoke on. "Your eyes shine like emeralds."
"Em, thank you?" Deerleap seemed a little embrassed.
"You are as graceful as a deer, as your name describes. Your fur looks like leaves dappled with snow, which is a rare sight. In fact, you are one of the most hard-working cats in the clan." Darkmystery mewed. Deerleap was confused by this, but listened. Darkmystery tried to think of some more things. "You are kind to apprentices and a great mentor, you deserve respect. I think you would make a great deputy, and then prehaps a leader."
"Shadowstep is highly respected and a good friend to everyone." Deerleap pointed out. "And I'm shy while he's loud and always talking."
"Yes, but haven't you noticed that Stonetail from LeafClan doesn't say much? And he's the deputy becauyse of his loyalty. You are loyal, brave and curious. Tell you what, if you let go of my ear and let me up, I'll tell you more." Darkmystery replied. Deerleap, without thinking, pulled him up. The tom quickly streched and shook the water off his wet fur, although it would get wet again anyway because of the rain. He then circled Deerleap, saying more things to win her over. "I think you are the prettiest she-cat in the whole circle of clans, even better than Silverpelt at night."
"Thanks, but there are prettier cats than me." Deerleap sighed, licking her wet paws.
"That's not true." Darkmystery meowed, touching Deerleap's shoulder with the tip of his tail. "You just don't know it. If you look deep down inside you, I think you'll find that you are beautiful." Deerleap snorted. "Yeah right. You fancy Moonsky, and always have."
"Wrong. I only did it to annoy Blazestrike, because we have been rivals since Fernwhisker had her kits. I have had my eye on you most of the time." Darkmystery said truthfully. This wasn't a lie for once, it was the truth. Deerleap was still embrassed, but was dazzled by this. She had fallen for Darkmystery's trick.
"What in the name of StarClan do you think your doing?" Moonsky hissed. Deerleap signalled her and Moonsky nodded. "Oh, I understand now." Darkmystery kept circling Deerleap, breathing in her sweet scent. He then accidently twinned tails with her, but Deerleap hadn't noticed. She licked Darkmystery's cheek and he purred in delight. "Be my mate." He mumbled softly. Deerleap nodded her head and Darkmystery grinned, a evil look across his face. He grabbed her scuff and mounted her, pushing all his weight down on her. Deerleap had not expected this, she was shocked. "I'm doing you a favour." She mouthed to Moonsky. The brown she-cat shut her eyes as Darkmystery bred her harder and swifter. Moonsky, remembering her own mate, rushed over to Blazestrike, who hadn't moved since he hit the ground. "Blazestrike?" The tom didn't move. Moonsky yowled in sorrow and buried her muzzle in his fur, tears falling. He couldn't be dead, he couldn't. Darkmystery finally got off Deerleap, who was shaken. "Join my clan." He mummered in a gentle tone.
"But.. I have a clan." She replied quietly.
"I know, but my clan is stronger. " Darkmystery mewed. Deerleap had to think quickly. She glanced at Moonsky, who she felt sorry for. Her mate had been killed before her own eyes, by Darkmystery himself. However, she wanted kits...
"I will join." She replied, trembling. Darkmystery smiled. "Good." He yowled and the clan appeared before him. "I am introducing a new rank. It will be called Leaf, and only she-cats get this important role. Only one does, it will be Deerleap. What she will do is get force bred by all the males to have all their kits." Deerleap was in shock. She was happy to save Moonsky's life, but now she was in trouble. She had agreed to join DarkClan to be force bred by all the males. Darkmystery stood up. "I have bred her, so I want Adder to breed her now." He meowed. A big grey tom with many scars and red eyes stood forward. This was the deputy. Adder yanked Deerleap's scuff and mounted her as Darkmystery did. He was harsher than the leader, but Deerleap had to get used to it. The breeding lasted for ages, but he got off her eventully. Darkmystery grinned in delight. "Now, Blood can have a go." Blood was twice Adder's size, so he would hurt more. He mounted her also. The tom started to enjoy it, breeding her faster. Pain exploded through Deerleap's body as the mating took place.

1 hour later, all the males had bred her. She was so tried that she fell asleep, but was woken up by Darkmystery. She opened her eyes and groaned loudly. Darkmystery seemed excited. "Get up." He meowed, sounding tired. Deerleap pretended to not hear him and went back to sleep. The tom was annoyed now. "Get up now." He ordered. Deerleap mumbled something rude and pretended to snore. Darkmystery snarled and clawed her muzzle. She yelped in pain and woke up. "What have you done with my friends?" She hissed.
"Actually, I was waking you up because they are leaving now. I'm being genrerous and giving you until sunset to speak to them. I believe that Moonsky wanted to urgently speak to you." Darkmystery replied. He then gave a huge grin. "Then I'm breeding you again." Deerleap sighed and got up, shaking. She still felt pain all over her body. "I thought that might have been a catch." She mumbled as she walked out.
"Deerleap!" Moonsky came rushing up to the weak she-cat with a look of guilt on her face. "Oh Deerleap, I'm so sorry you ended up like this. It's all my fault. If I hadn't picked Blazestrike for a mate, none of this would have happened and he wouldn't be dead."
"He's still not moved." A voice mewed sadly. It was Duckfoot. She had watched the tom for any movement, but he didn't flinch. "Shame. I'm very sorry Moonsky, I think his soul has join StarClan. He will be safe there."
"He wouldn't just die." Moonsky sobbed. "He's a fighter, a surrvier like me. He can't be dead, he just can't be." Deerleap nodded. "Moonsky's right, Duckfoot. He wouldn't just die. That blow wasn't as powerful as what he's had before. Oh goodness, what will Fernwhisker say? And the kits?" Falconsong padded up and comforted Moonsky. "We will all miss him, but don't blame yourself for this disaster. This wasn't your fault."
"It was!" Moonsky howled, resting her muzzle in the young warrior's fur. Suddenly, Ember stood up with a look of happiness. "He's alive!" Moonsky ran over towards her mate's body. She checked and double checked. He was still breathing! "Blazestrike?" Everyone waited anxiously for the tom to wake up. His eyes slowly opened and started to talk. "Moonsky?" He mumbled, his voice crackling with pain. Moonsky blinked her blue eyes and nodded her head slightly. Blazestrike turned his head to the side and gave a small smile. "Atleast you are alive." Moonsky was speechless. She had been right all along. The she-cat gently rested her chin on his neck and smiled. Blazestrike coughed a bit, but he managed to move his head up and mummered something into Moonsky's ear. "They can't kill me yet while I'm still young." Falconsong yowled loudly and the other cats around her joined in. A distant reply came from the bottom of the mountain. Duckfoot guessed it was Lizardeye and the apprentices. Blazestrike sat up and then looked worried. "You haven't left me for Darkmystery, have you?"
"No, why would I?" Moonsky replied. "He is so evil, didn't you hear what he did to Deerleap?" Blazestrike shook his head and coughed again, sounding weak. Moonsky looked over at Deerleap and back at Blazestrike. "To save me, she tried to attack Darkmystery. However, she went through a painful mating from all the toms in DarkClan including Darkmystery himself, and joined DarkClan. All of that to save me." Blazestrike growled angrily. "I hate him. Always has to take a innocent she-cat from SnowClan." He turned to Deerleap. "I'm very sorry for what has happened. Just look after yourself and don't die." He sighed. Falconsong, noticing everyone was gloomy, deicided to brighten them up. "Hey, does anyone remember when I first came to the clan with my brothers?" She asked cheerfully. Moonsky smiled and laughed. "Yes! Very unforgetable!" Falconsong told her story of daftness and cheered everyone up.
