A white tom was stalking through the brush in the inbetween thinking about what had recently happened in his life, a small smile crossed his lips as he remembered killing Leopardclaw a Mystic clan tom, he enjoyed killing especially when he was mad. He padded silently through the grass just thinking his fur blew in the breeze as he passed an old tree that was about 500 years old. He looked at the tree and moved on.

Xena's large chocolate brown eyes followed the oblivious young tom from up high in the tree, her dark brown tabby and white pelt blended in well with the tree, especially since she was so high up. She recognized the young tom... had never really met him, but she knew his name was Sam and that he was training to be an assassin, much like herself. Her brown eyes glittered softly as she got up and jumped out of the tree, just in front of Sam. She tried to look as non-threatening as possible, as she didn't want to fight, but as with anyone from the VampireBat descendents it was hard to look innocent even when you really were, and then to add in the Death family.... yeah.... Xena unsheathed her claws slightly just in case and just now realized she should probably say something before Sam claws her ears off.... "Errrr.... Sam right?" She asked awkwardly pawing at the ground nervously with her white paw.

Sam let out a growl as the she-cat jumped down from the tree. "Yes and who are you?" He growled his big shoulder blades shifted from side to side as his blue eyes scanned her face, he looked away from her but his ears were waiting for a response from the she-cat how knew his name.

Xena flashed a wide smile "Xena" She finally replied after searching the tom's face for some sort of reaction that apparently ahdn't shown up. "So how's training with Vixen going?" She asked after an awkward pause sitting down and comfortably wrapping her plumy tail around her paws.

Sam looked back toward her his eyes burning in anger at the mention of Vixen; his old mentor, he hated her now.... "I quit, she never had time to train me and things went to far.... to bad..." Sam meowed his voice bleak but fire burned in his blue eyes as he spoke of her. He looked away not wanting to make eye contact with Xena.

Xena gave a slight nod and her eyes widened ever so slightly in understanding. The only person that had ever had time to even train her per se was Shade and even then... some things you have to learn by yourself. "Mad at her I see... but you haven't given up the assassin job apparently" She mewed in her soft flowing voice

"No it's addict-" Sam was inturupted by the distant pawsteps of cats walking toward them, they were talking loudly unware of the two cats. They were brothers Rueben and Phantom, one was a brown tabby the other a large white and black cat. "Don't move" Sam ordered his voice a soft warning as he silently glided away towards the cats. He crept threw the grass until he could see them he could see the way they were headings, he backed off of there path and waited for them to come to him. Once a few tail lengths away he jumped out gliding foward and slashed Ruebens neck with his sharp claws and turned away as he fell to the ground, he tackled down Phantom who was in shock from seeing his brother throat being ripped out, the toms were of equal size but Sam had the upper hand and turned the tom over. He stared at him defiantly, his gaze cold into Phantoms amber eyes as he lowered his head and bit down on his neck cutting of oxgen until the body went limp.

"Not to shabby either...." Xena commented still with that sweet almost innocent smile... She walked casually toward where Sam was still standing "Seems your training has been good... at least before you left it anyways." She added and then bent down to lick up a few drops of blood as if it was quite a normal feat.... of course it was on her dad's side of the family

Sam cringed as he saw her drink the blood, "Gross" He growled but his voice was even as he turned away from the dead bodies. He looked at Xena he was happy she did not know a whole lot about him... not a lot of cats did.

Xena let out a laugh and then just shrugged "You wouldn't be a very good VampireBat descendent..." She laughed flicking one ear as she turned to follow him, only hesitating slightly. "So where are you heading? You seem to be with a purpose..." Xena asked her tail waving behind her in the slight breeze

"Yes i'm with a purpose...." Sam meowed his eyes distant as he saw Vixen saying 'Leaf's been marked for death' over and over again in his head the whole thing had only happened about a few hours ago. Sams ear flicked with mild irritation as he thought about it more wondering what was going to happen.

"Oh..." She muttered stopping where she was and sitting down... Her ears and tail drooped ever so slighlty in disappointment, perhaps sadness.... It was even more clear on her face as the warm smile disappeared and her eyes no longer bright... "I suppose I'm just taking up your time... It looks like you're in a hurry, and I'm just slowing you down" again Xena added mentally, while her voice softening as it was getting harder to keep her voice even

Sam turned to face her "no your fine" he meowed seeing her ears droop ever so slightly and his blue eyes were a little bit softer as he looked at her but still as cold as eyes. His paws were lightly stained with blood but he did not mind it much as he looked down at them in despair.

Xena looked unconvinced and her face hardened slightly as she suspected him just saying that because he felt bad, but just shook it off, what did it matter anyways... "Whats up with you? Something is bothering you...." She asked not risking the subject being broached on her.

"Just someone I know is marked for death and i've got to do somthing about it..." Sam said his voice breaking off, he did not give off much information on who this cat was. He was already worried that if more cats knew they might be after her too...

Xena contemplated that bit of information carefully for a moment.... "Would this someone be marked by Vixen, or did you get tangled up with someone from a great family?... If its from the Death family, I can probably call it off, perhaps even the VampireBat family, but... probably not the Vamp... they're too stubborn..." She put in hopefully a small smile returning to her face.

"Yes Vixen did it" He meowed shortly as he began to walk away his big paws making small thuds on the soft soil as he walked on hoping she would follow him a little since she seemed to have an idea of some sort...

Xena's smile didn't diminish... In fact it widened "Any family of importance?" she asked almost excitedly as she indeed got up and ran after Sam... "If not I got an idea anyways" she added her warm chocolate brown eyes dancing softly

"No, my family is NOT important" he growled out the last few words as he became feirce all a sudden the only ones he could be proud of were his grandma; Fox and his grandpa: Cole. Still his mother and father were not that important to know about.

Xena raised an eye at his sudden outburst that had nothing to do with what she'd asked... touchy subject she realized "Errrr... I was talking about the cat that is about to get assassinated if we don't do something quickly" She clarified, not taking any offense with Sam

"She said I still have a few moons left." Came a sweet, melodic voice as a tortoishell stepped into the scene, a small cut on her neck only visible if she lifted her head high enough for her neck fur the move. Her neck stung immensly. She watched Sam, able to keep the fear out of her eyes. She hoped her hadn't set her up to die like he had the two rogues. After seeing what she did, he might not even care. "Hopefully that's enough time?" She asked, watching Xena.

Xena narrowed her eyes and she looked Leaf over carefully for a long time.... She had some Death family qualities, but Xena definetely didn't recognize her.... "Who's your family?" She demanded keeping her large brown eyes narrowed dangerously but not threateningly...

Leaf blinked, realizing this was a VampireBat descendant. "Uhhh.... my mother's name is Rain, my father FairWood... brother of Death which makes me her neice..." She trailed off many times, watching Xena's movements carefully.

Xena went quiet for moment once again putting on a thoughtful smile... "Soooo... that would make you.... my Cousin (1st Cousin Once Removed to be exact)" She mused her smiled widening so that it showed her long vampire teeth. "Well, cousin it looks like you are lucky. You'd definetely have Death on your side, just for being FairWood's daughter..... One of the only siblings Death cared for.... Sure Vixen's father is her temporary mate, but she'd definetly care for you more....." Xena stated matter-of-factly nodding slightly as the plan formed in her devious mind...

Sam shuffled his big white paws behind them, or well sorta white paws if you think of white paws being stained with blood.... he knew Leaf did not much like him being an assassin and all so he tried to stay silent and out of the conversation.
