“I know you’re there. I always knew. It stopped being an issue moons ago...when you were good. I believed in you. Admired you to the stars and back. And I let myself become blinded in desperation to become strong like you. But this is the last time we meet, Featherears.” Leafblazs growled. Featherears padded out of the bushes. "I tried to make you strong like me," Featherears responded calmly. "You had the potential to become a very powerful cat. But instead, you chose weakness. You're much too fond of those rogues and kittypets you hang out with. And Thunderheart? Please, you're mousebrained if you think that was a good choice. And thanks to your poor choice in mate, all of your kits will be weak like him. And thanks to your poor life choices, your kits will grow up being hated by their Clanmates. Not only did you ruin your own life, but you ruined the lives of your kits before they even had the chance to open their eyes." Featherears curled her lip and flicked her tail. "But... There is one way you can prove that you're strong." She paused for a heartbeat. "If you kill your kits, you'll spare them from having pathetically miserable lives, and you'll prove your strength." Leafblaze snarled viciously. “Don’t you ever speak of my kits in such ways. And if you think I’d ever harm them for some false sense of power, you’ve gone madder than ever! No. The only one who I will be turning my back to, is you...No matter how much I loved you, it means little now. I’m strong. Stronger than you. And I will prove it by succeeding without you. I may have lost my home, the trust in my clanmates...but I have gained a new purpose. My kits, and my group. My mate. We are finished...”

"You think you're strong?" She sneered. "You're weaker than ever! That mate, that group, those kits, they all make you weak! If you were to lose just one of them, it would destroy you! Having such attachments is the most idiotic thing a cat can do in their life - you're weak, and you're a coward. You ran away from your Clan when you couldn't face that you had trained with me. You ran away from your group when you couldn't face that you betrayed them by mating with Thunderheart. And now you think you can run away from me?!"

Leafblaze narrowed her eyes, before she growled darkly, strongly. “Your selfishness was always your downfall. You cared for nobody but yourself...no matter how much I cared for you, I was always nothing more than a pawn. Like the cats you killed. I’m not running from you. I’m walking away, my head high. And you will never have me again. You’re the one who will lose here. I have the very things you never could. A mate, kits I love, a brother who loves me, and leadership, even if it’s outside of the clan. So. Is it truly me who has lost?” She jeered. “I’m going to tell them what I do here tonight. Trust or not, I will show them that your power is nothing.”

That's why I killed them. I became stronger than ever after they died. And now you've become weaker than ever by taking a mate and kits. You mated with a tom who betrayed his Clan to be with you. How does it feel knowing that Thunderheart will never be trusted or respected again after taking a rogue as a mate?" She sneered, clearly entertained by the confrontation with Leafblaze. Leafblaze's attempts at hurting her went completely unfazed. "I never needed you, Leafblaze. You're the one who needed me. You still do." She unsheathed her claws. "However, you need to stop acting like you're in charge around here. I'm the one who decides when we finish training. And you still have a lot to learn."

Leafblaze lashed her tail, scoffing. “Not from you, I don’t. I don’t need anything from you, anymore. Your toxic lies and words don’t phase me anymore. We’re done here.” She moved to turn away smoothly, head high and claws extended.

She landed squarely on her apprentice's back, digging her claws in deep and biting down on the scruff of Leafblaze's neck. "You need a lesson on respect," she hissed in the she-cat's ear.

No more hesitation. You’re stronger than her.’ Leafblaze thought firmly to herself, focused and ready. Savage protectiveness filled her veins, and she knew she could not lose this. She would not. She lunged, ducking below the killing blow and slamming her head into Featherears’ chest, paws coming up to rip roughly at the chest fur and legs.

Featherears gasped and leaped backwards, away from Leafblaze. "Not bad," she panted. She crouched down, her eyes glancing toward Leafblaze's left side a heartbeat before leaping toward the queen's right. This was a trick Featherears had perfected a long time ago, making her opponent believe she was aiming for one side when she was really going toward the other.

Leafblaze inwardly scolded herself, feeling the strike to her side. Blood welled from the cut, but she was not deterred. She rolled to the side swiftly, and sprang up. She quickly dug her paw into the black mud and flung it up at Featherears, aiming for her face.

Featherears managed to dodge out of the way - she had, after all, taught her apprentice that dirty trick. "Nice try," she purred. "But you'll have to try a lot harder than that if you want to beat me." She sprang at Leafblaze again.

This was her territory, and she knew all of the clan’s moves... The clan’s moves! Leafblaze started in realization and realized something. She had lived with rouges for moons now. She knew techniques no cats in the clan knew. She lunged forward suddenly, and lashed her tail out as she whipped around to tangle at Featherear’s paws, kicking backwards with her hind paws, remembering Rat’s favorite way to win in wrestling.

"Clever, but you're fighting like a kit," she hissed as she dug her teeth into Leafblaze's tail, biting down as hard as she could. Her teeth were completely embedded in the queen's tail, and she held on with all her strength.

She kicked back many times, vicious and angry. “I’m done being the weak one! I am done having to prove everything I do!”

She leaned down until her nose was practically touching the other cat's, baring her teeth. "You will always be weak," she snarled. She darted her head forward and bit the queen's throat, prepared to deal the killing blow.

Leafblaze gave a deep bellow and snarl, and slashed her paw up, claws extending as she caught her mentor’s head and shoved her back. She surged forward and turned the tide, adrenaline and drive to live for her kits and mate and the cats who needed her. She moved to pin her this time, and snarled. “Never as weak as you!” She rained down blows, ignoring the blood and pain from her wounds, putting her life’s worth of anger into the onslaught. “I will leave and I will never come back! You understand me?” She screeched.

Every night, until I slash you open and you fade from eternity. I will train and learn every move I can to bring you down.” Even bloody, Leafblaze stood tall and strong, tail lashing. “I’ll tell every cat in the clan, what you’ve done. Who you’ve trained. I’ll do everything to bring you down. You can maim and hurt me, but you will never take my family and my followers.” She began to fade, finally choosing to go on her own this time.
