Lupa had Tailchaser right where she wanted him, down on his belly, begging for the tidbits of information she had. She smirked. "Do you really want to know what I know?" She asked. "You'll have to give me anything I ask for, and in return I'll tell you small things I know. I'll give you the answers you seek. It's a small price to pay, don't you think, Tailchaser?" The devious she-cat was prepared to make a killing selling her knowledge.
She looked over at Flint and her blue eyes sparkled with greed. It wasn't right to be exchanging simple information for favors, she knew that, but she was still going to extort her fellow cult member nonetheless. She just hoped that Flint wouldn't try to compete with her.

Flint's dark green eyes locked with hers. No cat should know what he knew, but he wanted to know more. He stretched his dark legs out in front of him as if he had lost interest. "Sounds like a good deal to me" He meowed finally breaking eye contact with the fiery she-cat.
"You'll never get anything from her otherwise." And neither will I Flint added silently. The craving for power pulsed through his blood. Any thing he could figure out about this sacrifice could bring him one step closer. The death of a cat was a small price to pay for what he wanted. For what the voices of the Silence promised him. If the voices wished it he would go and kill every cat he had to so he could hold that power.
Flint turned his eyes back to Lupa. What would she demand of the tom? He forced his face to stay carefully neutral so that neither cat would be suspicious. If Lupa didn't offer him anything interesting perhaps he would have to devise another plan to gain this knowledge.

Tailchaser knew he only had one chance to figure out what was going on, and the usefulness of the knowledge outweighed any consequence he thought might occur. So he figured he would take Lupa's deal, and Flint's encouragement only made him wish to do so more. He knew he could easily be double crossed, but he would cross that bridge if he came to it. "Alright, Lupa, you have a deal."
He stared at the calico she-cat intently, his tail swishing back and forth. The orange and white tom anticipated that he would perhaps have to trade prey or luxury services for the information. Lupa seemed like a feline who would enjoy relaxation and pampering. Tailchaser figured he could handle something like that. He was only concerned that this wasn't what she had in mind.
His claws curled into the ground. He eyed Flint again, who seemed just as interested in the information as he was. He felt uneasy in the presence of two dynamic cats with a somewhat dark hunger in their eyes. What am I even doing? he thought. This could all go horribly wrong.

Lupa smiled a sly smile. "You've made the right choice," She meowed. "In exchange for my information, you're going to have to do everything I ask from you. Every time you do me a favor, I'll do you a favor by giving you some more information that you seek." Her blue eyes glinted. She loved being manipulative, and Tailchaser in his quest for knowledge was prime for it.
She curled her claws into the ground. She knew that Silencefall would probably disapprove of the members of the Silence making shady deals with one another, but she couldn't really care less at this point in time. It was practically a power struggle, and you had to get the power one way or another.

Flint felt mild amusement as he watched their exchanged. This was exactly what he had hoped for. Now he had to just hang around until he got what he wanted. He turned his green gaze to Lupa, with interest lighting his eyes. She was an intelligent she-cat, useful for the Silence.
The voices promised him power, and told him of dark sacrifices. Which cat was to die? Was it a member of the Silence itself, a loner, or a kittypet? Perhaps it was one of those clan cats he had heard about in his travels. He pulled his eyes from the She-cat and tilted his head in the direction of the tom.
"Tell me, " he meowed locking his eyes with Tailchaser. "What have the voices told you of the sacrifices? I have heard them mentioned in my head many times." He felt safe to share this, as it seemed he was one of many to hear of this. If he could figure out who it was then perhaps he wouldn't need to wait around for Lupa after all.
Of course it could be any cat, maybe a number of them. Spilled blood didn't bother him. His only kin lived as kittypets many a moons travel away. Even if they were killed he doubted he'd feel anything for those two anymore. His claws were sharp, his ears pricked. "If you know...perhaps I could assist you." Offering him help might just be what the tom needed to give up anything he knew.
Plus having an ally could be worth it. As long as he remains useful that is...

Tailchaser's head snapped up when he heard Flint mention that one word: Sacrifice. It startled him to hear it every time he was mentioned. It made him feel a shiver from his head down to the tip of his tail. He didn't even want to think about it. He didn't want to have to kill, but the voices of the ancients were telling him to. He couldn't run from them, it was his destiny. "They have merely told me that sacrifice was to occur," he meowed. "I have no specifics beyond that."
"However," he continued, "When I go to meditate the voices seem to talk to me more. Maybe I should ask them what they mean?" He heard Flint's offer of assistance, and knew that it could be good to have someone on his side. He was concerned about Lupa's shady dealings and what she knew or didn't know.
He wasn't sure that he could trust Flint any more than he could trust Lupa, but he needed someone to rely on. The best he could do was offer the one skill he had: listening to the voices, and closely. He was unaware of what perhaps dangerous things he was getting into, dealing with Lupa and Flint. He would have to speak with Silencefall later, maybe she would know what to do.

Lupa was irritated that Flint also seemed to be trying to work out some kind of a deal with Tailchaser. She tried to hide it but her tail angrily lashed back and forth. She ran her tongue over her shiny white teeth, not knowing whether to protest or to just keep silent about it. After all, with Tailchaser talking, she could stand to gather some information regarding that too.
She figured she knew a little bit more about the whole thing than the other two did, which gave her an advantage. "How little you know about the sacrifices," She meowed. She was mocking them. "How much more information you stand to gain from me, Tailchaser. It is good that you've made this deal."

Flint felt the a prick of frustration run through him. This she-cat would be useful for information but now he had a way to possibly find out more and she would no longer be needed. He ignored her as she lashed her tail and turned back to the tom. "You're right, perhaps you can find out more and ask" he meowed keeping his voice even. "If you find out anything and need some cat to go through with it, I'd be more then willing to help in exchange for the information" He added giving a cool glace towards Lupa.
Being the cat to do the sacrifice could be just the boost he needed to gain power in this little group. More members joined every day and it would be good to establish some dominance early. Flint turned his green gaze back to Tailchaser, streched out one dark gray paw at a time. "Of course that would be up to you, after all you hear the voices the clearest."
Flint hoped by giving him an option instead of forcing it upon him that Tailchaser would feel more trusting with him. Wouldn't do me any good if he kept information from me.

Tailchaser nodded. He was unaware of how manipulated he was being by the two members of the Silence. He didn't know how low the other cult members would slink just to gain power. The whole thing was more cutthroat than he'd ever imagined. The ginger and white tom looked back and forth between the two. He would be gaining information from Lupa and relaying information to Flint it seemed.
"Yes, I could speak with the voices. I believe strongly in the spirits, and that's why I can hear them so clearly," he meowed. He nodded to Flint. "I will do as you suggest, and I will tell you about the sacrifices if I can gain more information about it. We need to know exactly what they mean. We don't want to do something that the entire group would regret."
He took in a deep breath. It was going to be a lot of work just to get everyone settled. He'd have to do things for Lupa and then he'd have to meditate until he received an answer from the Voices. He wasn't sure if he knew what he was gaining out of everything. He would be the one with the most information in the end, it seemed, but he did not have the manipulative capability to do something with it.

Flint flicked his tail back and fourth. "Perhaps we should go back to the caverns." he suggested take a step back. He felt that Tailchaser would need time to think about things and gather the information Flint as well as Lupa was seeking. Perhaps the time would also allow to the tom to lean more towards himself and away from Lupa.
"Come." he meowed again. This information is precious, and if Flint was to be the one to spill blood, threatening and pushing this cat away would not help his cause.

Lupa warily watched. She hoped that Tailchaser wouldn't be won over to Flint's side entirely. She walked behind them for a few steps towards the caverns but then she walked up next to Tailchaser, acting like his best friend in the world. No way she was going to let him be influenced solely by Flint. "I'll give you a few days off before you start bringing me things for my information," She said. She could hold off if it meant gaining Tailchaser's trust more. "I'll be good to you, but you work for me. Remember that."

Tailchaser was having a hard time listening to both of the cats who were trying to talk to him on their way back to the caverns. He didn't know who he should be listening to over someone else. This is going to be the death of me, he thought gloomily. "Can I have a rest before I have to do all of this?" he asked. "Just for a little while, I promise I'll get right back to it afterwards." He thought his paws were going to be worked down to the bone from all he had to do, gathering information for Flint and getting information from Lupa in exchange for favors.
Both of the cats seemed to want to treat him nicely but he knew that they must have some sort of ulterior motives. He couldn't imagine what they could do with it but knowledge was power, especially in a spiritually guided cult like The Silence. He just hoped that he wasn't doing the wrong thing. He didn't want these cats to have power that they couldn't control.

Flint turned to Tailchaser, revealing a toothy grin. His teeth gleaming in the shadows of the Mountain. "Of course my friend" He meowed slyly. "Take all the time you need. It is best not to rush these things." He hoped the impatience he felt in his claws didn't seep into his voice. He turned back to the direction of the caverns.
Flint's claws itched with anticipation at having the chance to gain power. Though he couldn't help but narrow his eyes as they neared the caverns in silence. Other cats would be after this power as well. Flint didn't have graphic pasts like the others. No one forcing him to do things, or destroying his life and chasing him out. Even still, he couldn't help but crave the fear of others. His green eyes glinted with excitement.
Soon the Silence would be silent no more.
