The Trap [Durango & RAIDERS]

[VineStar12]

Type: The trapping of an Eastclan warrior named Crimsonstreak.
Who?: Raiders!
REQUIRED: ROSE, CRIMSONSTREAK

♥ Rose ♥
Raider

The beautiful calico trotted along quietly, the air masked with fear and caution. Her acting was convincing enough or the handsome tom, and he fell easily for the trap. To him, she was a lost, pretty she-cat who was terrified of the Raiders and needed a big, strong escort home. Rose turned her head and stopped, her stunning blue eyes fixed on the warrior, Crimsonstreak. He was a rather handsome tom, and he would be a great addition to the Raiders. Of course, he wouldn't trust her after this, but she could always flirt her way into forgiveness. The Raider didn't exactly like the thought of settling down, but Crimsonstreak was what she liked. Handsome, strong, and gullible. She smiled to herself and turned all the way around, waiting for the tom.

(Fail.)

[bg=333030][atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellpadding,0,true][atrb=width,400,true] crimsonstreak Crimsonstreak's paw pads were hurting from the long walk. He knew he had a duty to perform, however, so he ignored the pain and pushed on. He kept Rose in his sights. He hadn't seen any Raiders along the entire wait, but it was better safe than sorry. He could smell other cats here, but it didn't surprise him. This place was known for harboring rogues and loners. He followed her, keeping light on his feet. "Are we near the place you live yet?" he meowed. "Is there anything around here I need to be on the alert for?" He knew that the Raiders had their camp somewhere along the shore, but he wasn't sure of the exact location.

Raider

"Yes, we're close!" she meowed exctiedly, adding a small spring to her step. This wasn't fake, she was overjoyed to finally be back home, and with a prisoner. The calico started walking alongside Crimsonstreak, her nose twitching every few seconds. "Don't worry, the Raiders live much farther along down shore. I show know, I tried following them when they took my friend's only kit. She was so devastated, and they killed her mate in the abduction." Rose chatted, a casual enough action that usually meant they were near her home. She recognized a few scents, no doubt Cream would be around. Unless Rune or Jagger took her out for training, the she-cat thinks, taking a quiet breath. The Raiders would have to be quick, strong, and accurate if this plan were to be a success. She thought of an idea. If she still acted like this wasn't her home, and was terrified of the Raiders' attack, Crimsonstreak would think they were on the same side! Then, when he's weakest, she'd turn on him and he'd be trapped! Of course, all newcomers were beat brutally to place fear in their hearts, but threats should be enough for this Clan cat. Yes, some would think this was very sneaky and betraying, but it was Rose's job. In only several more fox-lengths and they'd be upon the camp, where the plan should unfold smoothly and executed accurately.

(Maybe we should bring Omega and Cream into this, yes?)

[Durango]

(Sure, I'll bring in Omega.)

[bg=333030][atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellpadding,0,true][atrb=width,400,true] crimsonstreak He was pleased to hear that they were nearing her home. As though she could sense his worry, she reassured him that the Raiders lived much further away. He nodded, having no reason to doubt her. "I'm glad to hear that," he meowed. "I wouldn't like to meet up with them." Crimsonstreak gave her a look of sympathy when Rose mentioned what had happened to her friend. He didn't suspect for a moment that she would be lying. He could still smell the stench of unfamiliar cats, which made his nose twitch quite a bit. His whiskers twitched along with it. How many rogues must live in this place? he thought to himself. He hoped that none of them would attempt to attack. He didn't realize that he was being led directly into a trap, and was about to have more to deal with than he thought.

[bg=cdd0c3][atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellpadding,0,true][atrb=width,400,true] omega From a distance, Omega recognized that Rose was approaching the camp, bringing with her what seemed to be a hapless cat with no clue of what was going on. She narrowed her eyes. Perfect! she thought. Recently, the Raiders had stumbled upon a run of good luck which had brought them many, many new additions to their group. She dropped into a crouch, prowling along, ready to attack Crimsonstreak when Rose signaled. She'd done this so often, it was becoming routine. She hoped that Koschei would be pleased with her involvement in the capture of this outsider cat. She knew that she'd need to keep her claws sharp in order to beat the newcomer into submission; wearing him down so that he learned to accept his new authority and home.

Raider

A smile came over the calico's face, she could scent Omega, a squad captain, was nearby. They'd need more raiders, of course, but maybe the captain's presence would alert the others something was going on. The pair were almost upon the camp when a familiar cream-colored youngling ran over, a happy look in her blue eyes. "Rose! You're back!" the she-cat meowed, and Rose remembered at once. This was the newest addition to the Fledgling ranks, Cream. The raider gave her a warm smile, but a warning in her eyes; to not give away who they were. Cream nodded at once and looked at the tom, pure confusion on her face. "Oh, where are my manners? Crimsonstreak, this is Cream. I found her only a moon ago as a scrawny little loner and took her in. As you see now, she's in the picture of health. Cream, why don't you go fetch Koschei, or Jagger?" she suggested deviously to the Fledgling, a look of approval when the young one took off back into the camp. Then, she turned to the handsome warrior known as Crimsonstreak, a look of thankfulness and affection in her blue eyes. "Thanks for escorting me back home. Why don't you stay and rest for a while, Crimsonstreak?" the lovely she-cat asks softly, her eyes locked with his. A quick flick of the tail was given to the hiding Omega, to wait until Cream came back with reinforcements, or to just play along.

[bg=333030][atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellpadding,0,true][atrb=width,400,true] crimsonstreak Crimsonstreak watched as a young cat, who could be no more than an apprentice's age, approached Rose. He smiled and tilted his head, with a warm glitter in his blue eyes. He bent down to look at Cream in the eyes, and could sense her confused. "Hello there, little one," he meowed after Rose introduced her. He was relieved it was only a young cat. He had a hard time talking to most cats in his rank. "You have kept her very healthy, I see." Crimsonstreak was mesmerized by how loners worked together. It was almost like they had little mini-Clans of their own. He didn't realize that what the Raiders had was in fact the closest thing to a Clan that rogues and loners could manage; though with a sinister hidden agenda. Crimsonstreak knew he'd have to get back to EastClan eventually, but he needed to stay and rest before he could make the journey home. He nodded. "Thank you, I will stay to rest a while," he meowed.

[bg=cdd0c3][atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellpadding,0,true][atrb=width,400,true] omega Omega saw Rose's tail flick, and she stayed hidden in the undergrowth. They did need more raiders before they would attack. Clan cats were known to fight viciously, and they didn't want to kill him, they wanted to subdue him. It was always the hardest taming Clan cats. The raiders saw them all as barbaric, savage creatures with barely a grasp on living... exactly the way that the Clan cats saw them. It was so much easier to train a Clan kit or apprentice than it was to break a warrior, however, every raider knew. Omega looked around, hoping that more Raiders would show up soon. She was tough and strong, but she and Rose could not take on a beastly Clan cat by themselves. However, the more Omega looked, the more she noticed that there was something different about this particular warrior. He seemed a bit softer, maybe naive and too trusting. She tilted her head as she watched, fascinated by this different behavior.

Rune was surprised. They'd only just got back from their raid on EastClan, carrying with them a few unsuspecting cats, and now Rose had come back with a warrior. He walked towards her, wondering what she was going to try to do. He had to wait until she gave him some kind of a sign. "She's an impressive raider," he murmured to himself. He didn't like her, but he had to admire the audacity she had to try to trap a full-grown warrior. The EastClan warrior seemed oblivious to the whole thing too. One small voice inside of Rune wanted to shout out and urge Crimsonstreak to run, but he couldn't... the other raiders would have him killed for sure. It was always so hard to capture other Clan cats.
