Python and Birch sat still in the bush. The two had been stalking Hawkstar and Redstar's meeting for a while. She had lost interest when they began to go on about kits. But something had caught her ear. Something that shook her slightly, even for a cold-hearted murderer. She heard the word disease...It made her think. It couldn't be the same epidemic that was happening in the Highrocks. The same one she'd been trying to deal with for time and time until she developed her fond for killing...the same one that took away Vine. The same one Birch and her had been 'Containing' for as long as they could. If so, she needed to get into this. Then it shook her once more...

[color=ed1c24]"It started a week ago, after a patrol came across a body floating in a stream by our borders. The first one's to become ill were on that patrol."[/color] It finally made her feel slightly accomplished, but regrettable as well. She despised Clanners, especially the current Shadowclan. That body the two sent down stream was one of those infected, and their main target had conducted to disease. That was only the good part of the story. The bad part was what was left with the other Clans. Toadvine of Windclan was the only other 'Survivor' she had discover to be within the Clans. Though there was the hint of hatred and death-glaring she wanted to share, but it was then when she remembered. She was still one of her own. Someone to care for. The two were friends for times before the drownings. She had to somehow make sure she would survive. However, she needed to focus on the current issue...

It managed to regain her focus, and Birch looked at her as a grin began to wipe itself straight across her face. Birch grinned slightly as well, slightly unsure.

[color=a0410d]"Oh this is perfect..."[/color] She began. [color=a0410d]"With Shadowclan now doomed to fall...we have one less route to worry about."[/color] Birch gave her a confused head-tilt. [color=a0410d]"Oh come on, Birch! How can you not see this? This had made our deeds to be held at Thunderclan much...so much more easier! We have struck the ultimate luck!"[/color] Birch again looked at her, sighing to himself.

[color=aba000]"We don't know about you...I know I am safe, as we know. The disease. You might still be vulnerable, right?"[/color]

[color=a0410d]"We can take chances. Look how close I have been to infected bodies when we were cleaning up the Highrocks! I am fine! Now...we better get moving to their territory, before this 'Hawkstar' get's back to greet us..."[/color] Birch nodded, his smile disappeared. He did worry. The two had turned an epidemic into a pandemic with one simple and sinister move. It was satisfying, yes...but it also endangered their fun. The two depended on the Clans to supply them with cats to torture. Lose them, and probably lose the connection between the two. They departed from the Meeting between the two Leaders as they rabbled on about kits and gossip. All the buggery stuff the two did not care or want to hear about. The two took deep breaths before trespassing their way silently into the Thunderclan territory.

They had been inside for about 4 minutes when they spotted their first group. The two grinned menacingly to one another. The group had about 3 cats, of all small sizes. Perfect...their first catch of the day. The two began to approach their first 'friends'...
