    Tigereye awoke. Blood was oozing down her back from her wounds, and dripping off her tail. Opening her eyes to the scenery in front of her, Tigereye replayed what happened before she was hit into unconsciousness. Squirming to get free she saw it was useless. She was being dragged, by Elixor. Leader of the Tribe of Many Storms. She couldn't get away. For some reason, she didn't want to struggle. She just sat there, letting Elixor drag her, leaving her wondering where was she going?

    Elixor strode ahead, lifting her almost like a kit, since he was so tall that the traditional sense of being dragged didn't apply as easily as it would have if he was just another smallcat. His eyes were narrowed and keeping watch with his step; they were already far underground and coming up on the tunnel nearest to the prison-cave. He glanced down at his prisoner, half-noting the scent of Clair as he came down, and glanced around the cave, before making a steep right and heading for the guarded entrance to the prison.

    Tigereye sulked as Elixor padded threw the tunnels. She would have to escape somehow. Staying down here in the darkness would make her go mad! As a half growl, half pur Tigereye looked up to the serval as he trotted away towards the tunnels. "Where are you taking me?" Tigereye said trying to remember the turns in the tunnels he was making.

    Elixor refused to respond, and attempted to shake sense into her by shaking her and trying to slap her head against one wall of the cave.

    Tigereye yowled as her head clashed with the wall. She couldn't take this anymore. She was tired of Elixor handling her. She swiped a claw against his muzzle as he held her knowing the consequences of her act. "answer me.." Tigereye said a little to hot-headed.

    Of course, since Elixor was holding her scruff, even if she wanted to she wouldn't have been able to reach his muzzle with her claws. He ignored her comment again and began down one of the Lower tunnels. It was a place he hadn't fully explored, and why not now, where he could just drop her off if he wanted to, or bring her back up to the lighter, dryer, and warmer prison.

    Tigereye growled. This was hopeless wasn't it. Squirming to get free, Tigereye tried to get a hold of something. Even if she did get away, how would she find her way out? What was she talking about she had to get out of here!

    Elixor squeezed through the tunnel as it suddenly narrowed. They traveled for the good part of ten minutes before the tunnel widened into a rather medium-sized cavern. In this, there were plenty of other tunnels, but all of them were dead ends. A cat could go into one and hours later come out another into the same tunnel. In the center of the room there was a pool of water, and from far under sometimes came skinny, tasteless or disgusting fish. He threw her beside it and sat in front of the real tunnel entrance, his dark eyes on the female. "If you try to escape you'll just find yourself even more lost." He growled. He'd taken quite a few different tunnels, often rounding back on himself and making his scent trail go in all different directions, and plenty of other cats had come down here.

    Tigereye skittered to a halt, almost splashing into the murky pool. Tigereye got up slowly, her body aching. "I'll get out somehow, and I'll find you. I'll get lonely, I hope you will come and see me." She said making a little joke to the serval that blended into the dark. In her position she was going to die anyways. She at least had to make her last days a happy one.

    "This is where you'll stay for your first.. week here. Then, if you behave, you'll be brought to the second level prison, which I might add is a lot warmer and less stuffy and damp then down here." Elixor said. Lonely? Hm. He was too young to mate, and he was doing what Brody said to. Once he felt it was time, it would be time, and he didn't feel it was time yet.

    Watching the serval warm up to him, Tigereye padded towards him. She curled her tail under his chin in a flirtatious way before she padded off to the side of the pool. "I don't know. I kind of like it down here.." She was good at lying. She knew she wouldn't behave either, unless Elixor came down here. He kind of eased her a bit.

    ooc: I like your new sig of her. :)


    When Tigereye did that, Elixor just rolled his eyes. Sure, if he felt the instinct to go mate, but he didn't yet. He probably would have stalked up to her with a seductive look on his face if it were, say, february, but he wasn't that old yet. The ten-moon old tom was about thirty lbs or more by now, just hitting a growth streak. Yes. He would reach at least fourty pounds.

    Tigereye saw his eyes roll. She giggled. It would be a while for him to come around to she-cats. By the size of how his large paws matched with his lean body, he was still young.


    OOC:: It's soo awsum!!

    Elixor blinked at her with a sigh. "Just sit tight- there are fish in that pool of water sometimes though you should keep away from the ones that bite. Like eels." He said.

    Tigereye chuckled. She would have to learn to fish, this would be fun. "Ohh. I'm glad you told me that.." she said sarcastically. Eels would make a great meal. Wait..How did eels get into this pool? Did it lead somewhere? Tigereye flinched back, she was a good swimmer, but she couldn't hold her breath for very long. It was a suicide mission if she tried that.

    It would be a suicide mission. His eyes closed ever so slightly but in the dark it was near impossible to see.

    Tigereye squinted. She would be a lone. in the darkness. For a week or maybe more. Only the light of the water as it reflected into the small tunnel shined as light that helped Tigereye see. Being her would give her time to think. Maybe it was a good thing. She had definitely lost her brother's scent. Maybe she shouldn't return to ThunderClan. A disturbed look crossed Tigereye's face. She would never go back to her home. Never see her family again. Tigereye growled. Her family deserved to die, all of them for treating her like this. "Elixor...Do you have a family?" She asked out of the blue. Talking to the shadows once again. She laid down as if to be comforted by his presense.

    "I have siblings and a mother, yes. My father is dirt to us." Elixor said, his blue eyes opening to watch her, his eyes emotionless though he didn't feel like going back up to the surface. The cold somewhat comforted him.

    Tigereye laughed. Dirt. That suited her father well. Her mother was to sweet, having so many of his kits, and never getting anything in return. She was nothing like her siblings. All they did was play around, but Tigereye was different, and because of that she was treated like dirt. She made something of herself as a true warrior, and when she had to choose between them or the warrior code, apparently she choose wrong. Family isn't everything, I guess that's why Tigereye was never the motherly type. She knew she wasn't dirt. "What happened to them? I mean, why do you lead cats when you know you are better then them?" She started to lick her paws. Elixor's topaz eyes watching her. why didn't he leave? Maybe he found comfort in the conversation as much as Tigereye did.

    Elixor raised an eye-fluff-brow at her. That question made no sense. "Why shouldn't I lead them, being better than them? That doesn't make sense at all. My siblings are all members, though my mother's recent litter- different tom- are visiting with her." The serval really didn't know what to reply with so he stuck with that and continued to watch her.
