    Through the fog and through the moss, she creeps like a ghostly snake. Her bright white pelt a godly sight and paws accented with glistening claws. She comes and goes as she pleases just like the deadliest disease. Like the Influenza.


    Stalking through the undergrowth, the shape moved around with great agility. Its steps were light and never left a trace. Its scent was gone as soon as it appeared. This cat was a master of stealth,creeping on her prey. Other cats of course.


    They never saw her until they looked up and caught their dying breath and knew they lost to a cat that had already died.
    "We'll share tounges in Hell," would be the last thing they hear. Then darkness and tranquility until they reached the other side.
    This cat was dangerous, as her name implied. Influenza, the huntress, and she wanted someone to train.

    A sudden change in the tranquil sound of the Hellish forest distracted Influenza from stalking a lone tom cat. She scurried under a bush and peered out. A few fox lengths to her left she caught the sight of another cat. A cat that was very well alive.


    Smirking, the pure white cat dashed to the tree to her left and climbed it. Influenza leaped from branch to branch until she was above the small she-cat. Letting out a hiss, she aimed to land on the cat.

    ooc: Sure Chesire!


    The white huntress landed on her prey and smirked. "Relax little one. It won't hurt at all." She didn't actually want to kill the apprentice, she wanted to test her. Influenza attempted to dig her claws into the she-cat's shoulders, waiting for the cat to fend her off.

    Darkness inclosed Dusk as she slept, meadows turning to dead twisted trees. She looked around, her blue eyes bright against the dark layout. "Hello?" She called.

    Sela was in a forest. A dark forest. Twisted trees all around. She heard a cat. No, make that two. She shuddered. Even though as a Hunter, or a killer, she had never seen anything this nasty.

    {Room for another cat? If not that's ok, too. Don't want to overwhelm you...}

    ooc: It's fine! Influenza will just have to choose.


    The goddess like huntress released her prey and flattened her ears. There were two, possibly three, cats in a 100 tail length area. Smirking, she slinked her way back from the apprentice and let out a ear piercing yowl.
    "Come out, come out, wherever you mouse brains are! No use eavesdropping."

    OOC: Ok thanks!


    Scarletpaw was still very much alive and very much confused. She had never before visited the Dark Forest in her dreams. She was a bit frightened but did her best not to show it. Boldly walking up to the cat who had called to her "Mouse-brains yourself" she hissed "I wasn't eavesdropping I was... investigating" she informed her.

    "Investigating the dead at their work. A bit nosy if you ask me,"Influenza retorted.
    She unsheathed her claws and padded over to Scarletpaw. Towering over the young she-cat, the sleek white cat took a whiff of her. "You're afraid, but you have spunk. I like you."
    Green eyes shining, Influenza nudged the small cat.
    She got into a battle pose and released a growl. "Show me what you've got, clanner."

    Still in denial she said hotly "I'm not nosy and I'm not afraid". Immediately, in responce to her challenge, Scarletpaw crouched down "Gladly" she mewed, unsheathing her claws. Growling she pretended to hesitate, then focused her eyes on the she cat's paws as if that was what she was aimming for. Instead, she lunged at her aimming to leap onto her back or possibly just claw her if she tried to avoid the leap.

    Influenza watched the she-cats eyes and her body language. She was positioned for a higher leap than her body implied. Before, she could move, Scarletpaw had lunged for the white huntress. Thankfully, Influenza escaped the claws with a tuft of hair missing from her shoulder.
    She smiled and whipped around. She was a strip of white lightning as she hurtled for the apprentice. However, as she approached the she-cat, she ran up the nearby tree. It had a short trunk and the sleek cat was able to accelerate onto a low branch above Scarletpaw.
    As she free fell down, she was right in the position to squash the much smaller cat.
    Claws fully extended, she waited to hit flesh.

    Scarletpaw growled in annoyance as she came away with only a tuft of fur in her claws instead of blood. She was expecting the white she cat to turn and attack, not turn and run up a tree... She glanced up in time to see Influenza plummeting down on her. The red she cat started to run out of the way but her reaction time was to slow. The white cat's claws caught her in the back and she collapsed to the ground trapped under the bigger huntress. Growling she struggled trying to get loose.

    Influenza began to try to stick her claws into the she-cat, but this was only a scare. Bending her neck down, she whispered in the she-cat's ear.
    "You're very good. I've got to say, where are you from? Who trains you?"


    Getting off the cat, the huntress licked her shoulder and eyed Scarletpaw. She could be useful. She was beautiful and intelligent. Two deadly attributes.

    "I'm from BloodClan" Scarletpaw replied "And I mostly train myself, or fight with other cats." she explained "My mentor was... 'tragically' killed" she said scorn seeping into her tone. Her tail flicked with anger at some memory. "Why do you want to know?" she challenged the huntress "Why am I here anyway?" Scarletpaw demanded impatiently.

    Influenza tilted her head to the side. "I knew a cat from Bloodclan. I think she was another Scarlet... Scarletpool I believe. I trained her. A long time ago."
    She was certain of it and thought it was only coincidence that she met another Scarletpaw.
    "To answer your question, I don't know. The universe works in mysterious ways. Someone must have wanted you here." The white huntress was suddenly alert, scanning the fog.
    "Listen, we don't want other cats getting suspicious. We should move along."

    Scarletpool. The name sounded strangely familiar. She shook of the feeling and looked back up at Influenze "Suspicious? Of what? Where are going to?" she asked in a breathless rush. The idea that a cat from Dark Forest had called her here thrilled her and terrified her at the same time.

    Dusk padded into the open, staring at the other cats with bright eyes.
