Kermodepaw's paws paddled relentlessly as he sped downstream. He was lucky that the water wasn't against him like it was with Mau, but the kit was being carried right towards the silver-purple tom and Kermodepaw wasn't going fast enough. "Mau! I swear, if you lay a single claw on him!" He roared, forcing himself to lunge forward. His muscles screamed as he forced them to work harder but even then he could only move so fast, and the water was only pulling Coalkit closer and closer to Mau's snapping teeth...
Mau's eyes widened and glistened with triumph. This was it! The kit was his! Plunging his head under the waves he managed to pick up speed; his swimming was sluggish through the torrents of water that surged against him, grabbing and pulling at the long fur around his shoulders and tail. His eyes hadn't closed, in fact they seemed to grow and his mouth opened in a horrible grin. Mau pushed himself off the rocks with his hind paws as hard as he could, snaking his way back upward, exploding from the surface no more than a tail-length away from the tiny black kit. It's pitiful words were drowned out by the rushing water and Mau let out a caterwaul of pleasure. "You're crowfood!" He laughed psychotically, spinning around with his paws and biting savagely at the kit who was just barley out of striking range. Just a hair... a hair more and you're mine! He thought, and again the tom exploded in crazed laugher...
Kermodepaw slammed his eyelids closed. He didn't want to see any more but the look Mau had on his face was stuck in his head. He had seen it a million times and he'd see it a million more... but Coalkit... Something inside Kermodepaw stirred and his worry and fear suddenly gave way into cold rage. How dare Mau think he's the dominant one? How dare he!? I'm the one, ME! Kermodepaw raged, clenching his teeth that had begun to turn jet-black. ...and that Kit is mine!! When Kermodepaw's eyes snapped back open the red-ness had vanished, replaced by a black that was darker than the blackest of nights. The white top let out a roar that shook the very trees and he swept himself forward, disappearing in the section of water that glistened with sunlight before re-appearing at Mau's side; digging fangs deep in the long-furred shoulders of the silver cat. Around the three, the water began to run red...

In all honesty, Mau wouldn't have been Coalkit's first choice of cats who would kill in cold blood. At least, not like this. He'd imagined that when Mau did finally get his opportunity, he'd toy with and abuse him, mocking whatever pitiful attempts he made to fight back. Now it was looking as if he'd send him to StarClan while he was completely helpless, and already dying anyways. Cold water stung his eyes as he tried to blink through the waves, stirred up by all his thrashing around. And every time he opened his eyes, Mau appeared to be closer, and closer, until he was nearly on top of him. He'd almost been ready to let the rotten tom kill him, make his suffering in these waters end already. Until a thought ran through his head. Whether he was home, or with these rogues, he was the son of a leader chosen by StarClan, and he was about to let himself be killed. Kit or no, he couldn't let himself go down so easily, it was insulting not only to him, but to Bramblestar as well. Digging up what little energy he had left, Coalkit kicked off from the stones beneath him, eyes squeezing shut as water splashed his face. Perhaps that was for the best though, for it prevented him from seeing again the terror Kermodepaw had become, as he slashed blindly at Mau's face.

Kermodepaw was Engulfed in rage and he savagly tore deeper into Mau's shoulder, shakeing violently like a fox would, rying to pull Mau's head under the surface. The smaller, silver tom thrashed and wriggled in his jaws and he felt needle sharp claws rake the fur along his throat and eyes. He didn't care. Extending his own daggar-like claws he hooked them into the side of Mau's face, tearing his snapping jaws away from Coalkit. He noticed that the little bundle had begun to fight back, trying to Claw at Mau as well but he dismissed it, continueing his own assault...
Mau screamed and writhed as Black claws cut into his skin from his side and tiny ones left bloody lines across his face. The water around him foamed and boiled with red water and he giggled to himself, letting bubbled escape his teeth as he was dragged below the water. Kill him, finish it! The voices in his head screamed and Mau thrashed wildly in response. take them both! They're yours! Mau shook his head, suddenly feeling hunted. Pain wracked his body with every move and the voices.... they wouldn't leave! The kit, kill the kit! Tormented and overwhelmed Mau let out a deafening cry, his head bursting from the water as he tried disparately to escape his attackers. you cam't escape!...

It seemed an eternity before the kit opened his eyes again, his body still half drowned in the water. Only his head and fore paws remained above. And both of those claws were currently clinging to Mau's face. He'd let his claws get stuck, he had nothing else to hold onto lest he be swept away by the current of the river again. But he almost wanted to when his eyes did open, and he could only stare at what he saw. The water around him turned red, and the monster atop of Mau tearing him to shreds. But... hadn't Kermodepaw been there a second ago? He didn't even know if the river was pulling them any longer. His head ached trying to process all that was going on. Mau had tried to attack him, and Kermodepaw came to save him, but now there was this.. thing Where Kermodepaw had been. That wasn't him, was it? This was like the cat that had attacked him back at camp, not the one who'd been training him. Had actually taken care of him... The thought made him want to go curl up somewhere, but he didn't have that option. So he was forced to settle with pressing his body to Mau's face, regardless of how close to his teeth it brought him. It was better than drowning... right?

ooc: lol, mini bio accepted XP
Kermodepaw continue to claw furiously at Mau's writhing body, the blood in the water splashed up in his eyes and his white coat was staining even brighter red with each dropplet of blood that touched him. His pitch black eyes were wide and frenzied and his fur spiked up wildly despite the water that covered him. He completly disregarded the kit as it's tiny furred body was pulled out of the water by his claws. feeble little thing... he thought with a horrible grin. Lifting a paw he gripped the Kit tightly, tearing him away from his prey with a roar before sinking his fangs deep into Mau's head, tearing back with a mouthful of flesh; taking Mau's right ear clean off...
Mau let out an aweful scream as he felt his ear tor off. He didn't even care anymore about the kit, he just wanted to get out and ... and what? The world around him had begun to spin and with every breath he inhaled more and more water. His eyes dulled and he felt his moments growing weaker with every stroke of his paws through the water. no, don't give up now... the kit... you have him! the thoughts whispered... no... hissed. Mau's mouth opened weakly, he didn't even feel the bolts of pain with each rake of Kermodepaw claws, just numbness. MAU! WAKE UP! Another voice intervened and the image of a snow white cat appeared in his minds eye. She looked furious, her eyes glowing with anger and Mau instantly felt a jolt of energy pass though him. finish your job Mau! the voice slammed into his head and he shook it side to side, infuriated. "Shut up !!" he caterwauled, his head bursting once again from the surface, and for what seemed like the hundredth time he reached out his claws for the kit, claws raking through air and water for the final blow...

Nightmare yawned as he padded through the stillness of the forest, his back white paw was starting to turn a light brown from the dirt that weaved its way through his fur. the large tom sniffed the air taking in all the scents around him, he could scent the lake and the fish it held and....blood, he could scent blood mixed with the scent of the water. Breathing in deeply the tom began to run, heading for the water to see what was happening. the tom never would have guessed what he saw. Two figures that looked very much like cats, a pure white one who seemed to be in a frenzy and a silver-purple colored one. "what the" The toms words were cut short as he caught sight of a kit, the second one he had seen was reaching for it with his claws, deciding the small kit was in danger the jet black tom jumped into the water ignoring the uncomftable feeling he felt as the cool clear water soaked his fur. Grabbing the kit by the scruff he scrambled his way back to the edge hoping to save the small creature.

Coalkit had begun to lose his sense of reason among the two fighting cats. All the blood, the water still trapped in his lungs, and the sheer terror of coming face to face with one, maybe two cats that wanted to kill him; he'd no idea if the monster Kermodepaw had become cared about him at all, if it wouldn't hesitate to come after him next when he was finished with Mau. But all of it was beginning to take it's toll on him. His breathing had turned quick and hoarse, as if he couldn't get enough air, but he had to struggle to get each breath down. His paws felt weak, and it was becoming all he could do just to cling to his enemy's face. He couldn't see anymore. His eyes had closed, and he refused to open them again. He didn't want to see those empty black eyes again. So all he could do was cling, cling to the bloody fur keeping him above the water, first Mau's face, then the paw that tried to fling him away. It was his only lifeline, letting go meant drowning, if the demon cat didn't smash him into something else when he threw him. He didn't need to see to tell how terrifyingly strong he was, like a badger, or worse. Mau's agonized wails told him more than he wanted to. The cat had wanted him dead, sure, and admittedly, Coalkit would've killed him just the same if he were able. But this... this kind of pain he wouldn't wish on any cat, not even Mau. And a sinking feeling in his gut told him he'd be next. Or, he would've been, he thought, had it not been for the teeth sinking into his scruff. Naturally, he thought one of the two brawling cats had grabbed him, which led him to claw weakly, but wildly at whichever'd grabbed him. He attempted to yell at the cat to let him go, but it came out as little more than a gurglish cry, which ended in him coughing up water.

Mau's paw sailed down through the air and he though he had the kit. His blood was pounding in his ears, the acceleration he was feeling as his claws met- Mau's laws rake the air right were the kit had been only a moment before, slashing through empty waves and pulling him back below the water with his gathered momentum. you lost it again! his thoughts sang, but suddenly the thrill of the hunt was gone. All he wanted no was... to find out who the new scent belonged to. The one who had aken his kill. His mind was like a machines on automatic, switching from one job to the next. alright, the hunt if over, whats next? the thoughts whispered. Mau let himself float motionless down the bloodied river. revenge? shall we get that cat who took our prize from us? Mau never got an answer for in his delirium, his head struck a massive stone beneath the water and he instantly blacked out...
Kermodepaw felt Mau's fur disappear from beneath his claws and his rage was instantly dulled, though his heart still pounded wildly. He could taste Mau's blood in his jaws and he hungered for more. He circled for a moment, searching for his victim when a dark shape caught his eyes, moving off toward the opposite shore with the tiny Coalkit in it's jaws. "Think you can take my prey from me!" He roared, baring his teeth and diving below the water, slithering after the new cat from below the waves...

Nightmare attempted to avoid the kits claws as he started to reach the shore. The roar of the cat behind told him that he had been seen, he began to push his legs through the water faster trying to swim fr the shore as fast as he could but his strength was leaving him. "Just a little more" He thought as he felt his paws touch the muddy bank, scrambling up the side the tom dashed from the waters edge and droped the small kit on a soft patch of Nettles before he spun around ready for the cat to leave the cool water and attack. "Just hang on a little longer" He told the small kit.

Kermodepaw erupted from the water in a fury of fangs and fur, lunging straight after The other tom in hot pursuit, slamming his body into his only a moment after he had spun around to meet him. "You think you can fight me and win you arrogant mousebrain!" He taunted, pulling Nightmare into a roll. "I ripped an entire clan apart with no cat to help me! You're fated to die at my claws!" He laughed evilly, pitch black eyes glinting in the mid-day sun as he spun around and around, continuing to taunt the other cat into attacking him...

Nightmare held in his rage, he would gladly attack this cat if there wasnt a kit to save. With a hiss he kicked the cat away and rushed to the kits side. "You mousebrain! Tearing a clan apart is nothing to be proud of, thats nothing but the way of a coward" The tom hissed as he placed his ear to the kits side hoping he was breathing.

Kermodepaw hissed with frustration wriggling to stand back on his massive paws. His claws kneaded the dirt and his eyes flashed with spite. "You're one to talk!" He spat, saliva spraying from his mouth with his words. "You're the one who refuses to fight me!" Kermodepaw tilted his head up in an aggressive manor, glaring down at the dark furred tom across from him..

Nightmare hissed at the tom and shot him a cold glare. "I refuse to fight because i would rather save this kits life then waist my time with some mouse brain like you!" He hissed before he returned to trying to hear the kit breathing, he prayed he hadn't been to late.

Kermodepaw's eyes flashed dangerously but he couldn't convince his paws to move. It seemed as those his claws had gouged the dirt so deeply that they clung to it. His fur ruffled but he felt he'd lost and he flicked his tail silently, deciding to say no more. Why didn't he fling himself at this cat wile his back was turned? it wasn't like he had a code to follow, or any other set of rules to break if he did... but something about this made his paws tremble and as he opened his mouth to speak again he felt his whiskers quivering. "It the kit alright?" He asked. Instantly he could feel his fur lie flat and the pitch black that covered his eyes withdrew, reviling Kermodepaw's red irises. His ears pulled back and the streaks of red that Stained his pelt seemed to be devoured hungrily into his skin and his black claws retracted from the ground. what have I done?...
