Things Can Come Back

Dust growled flexing his claws "You will pay for every time you disobey us...You will live here and Die here" he glared at Willow "Freedom comes to whomever Night wishes. I cannot speak for my leader"

Willow stared at Fern for a moment. "Fern. We're all going to get hurt in the end." she said sadly, casting a quick glance at Dust before turning back to Fern. "I haven't gone through any of it yet, and I know it'll have to start somewhere." she said, and turned back to Dust, still snarling. "Well then." she said, talking to Dust now. "Maybe since you're a puppet of Night's, you can attack me now. GO on. Kill me. I don't care." she spat, glaring at Dust.

Fern knew the real truth. "No." she said eyeing the medicine cat's den. "Whoever Copper wishes."

Dust growled "I won't KILL you unless Night wishes so, but i can punish you for your actions" he bared his teeth.

Copper raised her head thinking she heard her name somewhere amongst the commotion. She watched Dust and Willow arguing and Fern trying to calm her down.

Willow faintly heard Fern's voice, but she couldn't pay attention. She hadn't been so angry ever since she was an apprentice back in the clan, and some kits had dunked her prey in the water and made it all squishy, and then she had to give the food to the elders. "Oh, punishment. Hah. Punish me for what, speaking? Actually telling you what I think about your whole "clan?" she laughed, allowing her claws to sheath. She knew that she should quiet down soon, but it was hard to stop.

Dust hissed and hung his paw over the electrocution button "One more word and I'll fry you" he flicked his tail and narrowed his eyes.

Copper yawned and placed her paws over her eyes "Can't watch this torture" she sighed.

Willow shut her mouth, but still glared at Dust, holding back insults that were trying to get out at the cat. She backed to the back of the cage and lied down, not taking her murderous glare off of Dust.

Fern was getting frustrated. "COPPER IS THE ONE WHO CAN SET US FREE!!!!!!!!" she yowled.

Willow paused from her stare at Dust and whipped her head to Fern, confusion in her eyes, but panic flashed in them as well. Fern might have just gotten herself an extra bit of trouble from shouting that out, along with her having to be force-bred. "What do you mean?" she asked, closing her eyes, ready to feel the zap at any moment.

Dust Hissed and shot a glance at Fern "How do you know this?!" he placed his paw on the button ready to push if Willow spoke up again.

Copper twitched her ears "Thats right" she whispered to herself she looked around it was mainly just Night, mouse and dust by the slaves, the apprentice had gone hunting. She stood up and walked to the back of her den "I need...a plan of sorts" she muttered to herself.

"I've been here long enough," Fern started explaining her theorey(sp?). ""to know that Copper is the one who installs the zappy things. Which means she could remove them. And Copper, Night, and Mouse have access to all cages, while Dust only has access to his slaves' cages." ((g2g b bak l8r))

Willow couldn't help but reply. "Copper can free us..." she mumbled to herself, and then spoke back to Fern, completely ignoring the fact that Dust had his paw on the zapper. "Do you think she'd do it?" she asked, frowning. All of this was so puzzling.

Dust growled "She wouldn't, She's Loyal to her clan" he drew his paw off the button "So that enough of this conversation!"

Copper heard that and her ears lay flat as she let out a low hiss "They doubt me" she threw a few herbs together and looked toward the slaves.

Willow sighed and stared at Fern sadly and then turned around, lying down in a small ball, and then tucked her head in her paws. She just wanted this nightmare to end. It was truly a nightmare though to her. Instead of the ground being soft and moist like RiverClan's territory was, it was hard, and she was stuck in a metal cage all day, with cold hard floors. She didn't know when the last time was that she had been swimming in a river, and almost forgot the feel of water over her back and head. It was terrible, and the nightmare wasn't something she would wake up from.

Copper watched carefully, everything seemed to stop and go silent. She licked her paw and ran it over her ears thinking to herself, If she did anything Mouse would be there watching her. She closed her eyes and sighed.

"I didn't say she would, just that she could if she wanted to." Fernpaw mewed. She turned to Dust. "Get it over with, please." she meowed.

Cloud looked toward the medicine cat den then looked at Fern, maybe she was right. Cloud lay her head on her paws and stared at Dust.

Dust sat back turning his head to Fern shooting her a warning glance.

Night glanced at Dust. "Do you know what she's talking about?" he asked.
--
Fern backed up until she hit the corner of her cage.

Dust stood up not knowing how to answer " She..I...She was talking about our medicine cat and how she has the authority-" he cut off looking at the slaves "At how You, Mouse and Our Med-cat can turn off the electricity?"

(( O_O recap?? from page 16 ))

((dust and willow were arguing Fern tried to stop them, some threats were said then fern said it was copper, night and mouse who had the power and such..ect everything went silent))

Dream sighed, watching as her masters and friends argued. It was too much right now. She just wished that she could be back in her camp, comforted by her mother and clanmates. Like that was going to happen anytime soon.

"ENOUGH!!!" shouted Star at the cats who were arguing "Arguing won't solve anything!!"

Dream sat up, licking one forepaw.
