(chapter 3)
Rusty looked Bluestar deep in the eyes, making the leader uncomfortable.
"Is something wrong?", she then asked, unsure of what to answer. They had went on patrol alone together because Bluestar wanted to check up on him to make sure everything was alright. "What the hell is wrong with you.", came the reply of the apprentice.
"Huh?" "What the hell is wrong with you.", Rusty repeated as if Bluestar was just mishearing and not getting traumatised by this whole interaction before it even started.
"What do??? What do you mean with that?", Bluestar stammered out.
"Why... ey? Why are you like this? Why are you so completely stupid?", Rusty said, his voice suddenly frustrated like he was the one being insulted. Bluestar had lost every hope in the young cat since he for some reason has been tormenting everyone around him.
Even Lionheart had come to her to tell her how "unwell" and "unsafe" he felt around the young cat. She didn't believed him at first, just thinking that his hatred against Kittypets might be the reason to try and frame Rusty. But now she understood.
"What... Exactly.. do you mean with that?", Bluestar tried to ask for some clarification.
"Stupid! Everyone is just stupid! I should have stayed with Scourge when I had the opportunity." Bluestar did not want to know who this Scourge is. Probably another Kitty, just as crazy as Rusty.
Why was she even calling him Rusty? Oh ya! Because he nearly tried to slit her throat open when she called him Firepaw earlier! Right...
"Well.. Mistle.. plaw, or whatever that stupids name is, is trying to overthrow you, same with that Miger plaw guy.", Rusty muttered and acted like it was obvious. Bluestar wasn't sure if she even should trust him to speak an coherent sentence, let alone trusting him to know if or if not her warriors were planning against her.
But what if it's true, if Thistleclaw and Tigerclaw, if that are even the ones he is speaking about, are actually planning to overthrow her? Rusty is crazy and has prooven that enough, she shouldn't trust him.
"If you say so.", Bluestar replies, trying not to anger the feral child any further but also not saying that she agrees with his statement.
"They are, they killed Redtail after all. God! Why is everyone just so stupid!", Rusty exclaimed and making himself just more unbelievable.
As if Thistleclaw and Tigerclaw would kill Redtail! Riverclan killed him, not her own warriors. Just how delusional was this kid? Bluestar regretted letting him in the clan, or even considering that there was even one sane kittypet out there.
"Stop with this nonsense, you have been here for less then a moon, you don't know anything.", Bluestar said, fed up with Rusty's antics at this point. He should respect his leader and stop talking about nonsense conspiracies.
"Your death.", Rusty only mutters and jumps away, probably hunting after some butterfly or bee.
Just what is wrong with him?
(chapter 19)
Bluestar looked Tigerclaw in the eyes, it's been so long, way too long. Tigerclaw would kill her and Rustflower would be right from the beginning on. What a change of fate.
"You know, Rustflower had been right. I probably should have trusted him earlier.", Bluestar said, wanting to spark something in her soon murderer. Tigerclaw stopped a just a moment in his track, glinting in confusion.
"What'd you mean?", he asked. "He told me, not even a moon since he joined. He told me you and Thistleclaw would overthrow me, try to kill me and take my spot as Leader. He was right and I didn't believed him.", Bluestar said. "You should have.", Tigerclaw agreed.
Then she was dead, no fear in her mind, only embracing her own stupidity. "Fucking idiot.", Tigerclaw muttered, the fur of his leaders neck in his mouth.
He really needs to get rid of that stupid kittypet. Just why was Thistleclaw so incompetent to finally get it done! He had more then enough opportunities and this shit fur ball was still alive!
Tigerclaw growled further, making his way slowly back to camp and ignoring the hushed movements of Spottedleaf in the bushes. He needed to take care of her too, if she just wasn't the only medicine cat, she would have been dead ages ago.
Fucking idiots, all of them.
(chapter 27)
"Ha, loser.", Darkstripes voice cuts through the clearing of the camp. He had Greystripe pinned under him, the grey warrior though was barely fighting against the black one. "Leave me alone, you goddamn Rat!", Greystripe yelled but didn't physically fought against him.
"Bitch.", Darkstripe replied. "This is why Willowpelt disowned you.", Greystripe spit out.
"As if she ever even gave a fuck about you.", was bit back from Darkstripe. The two Half-brothers, with even possibly the same father, though nobody really knows who, fought further. Insults and comments, more vile then everything that Thistleclaw and Tigerstar combined had done were thrown around.
"What are you two doing?", Willowpelts moew sounded through the camp and silencing the two fighting figures. "This bastard started attacking me for no reason!", Greystripe explained, taking the initiative to talk first and hopefully convince Willowpelt that he was innocent.
"You came here with Riverclan newborns!? What was I supposed to think!?", Darkstripe just yells, exasperated. And yes, two little bundles of fur and meat were laying on the ground in front of the two fighting warriors.
"They are mine! Mine! Not some Riverclans Queen! And get off of me!", Greystripe yelled, still pinned down and now claws burrowed in his thick fur.
"Then why do they stink like fish and since when do you have an mate!" Darkstripe just asks, fighting against the urge to rip Greystripes fur out.
"Leave Greystripe and get away from him.", Willowpelt ordered. And quick Darkstripe followed the order, but not before ripping harshly some fur from his brothers back.
Greystripe yelped at that, but just jumped away from Darkstripe as soon as he was free from his grip. He could have ripped himself free at any moment but now that he was free and standing, you could see how shaky and rough he looked, and that from now only being dragged through the mud.
"Fucking bastard.", the grey warrior murmererd to nobody in particular, but it was clear who was meant. Darkstripe wanted to smack him alone for that, but decided then to restrain himself, and certainly not because the glare that was send his way from Willowpelt.
"Both of you are fucking stupid."
(chapter 8)
Rusty was decidedly amused with all of this. The look in Spottedleafs eyes, traumatised and destroyed from his existence alone. "You fucking deserve this, you know.", Rusty says, a cackle rising in his throat as Spottedleaf only looks more miserable.
Why are you doing this, she seemed to ask with her expression alone. Because you all fucking suck, was the unspoken reply.
"Rusty? Why do you have these kids?", Spottedleaf asked as if she didn't know the answer to that question herself. "To steal them of course, I thought that was obvious enough.", Rusty replied, musing at the healers inner torment. Miserable and terrorised Spottedleaf stepped forward, but with an loud hiss she was stopped in place.
"Don't you fucking dare step closer, you delusional fool.", Rusty hissed. "Just give me kids back and- and get Clawface back. Please.", the medicine cat asked, begged. Rusty only laughed.
"Delusional! And by the way, how about you stop being an bastard yourself and wake up. Thistleclaw is evil and same goes for Tigerclaw. I can't believe how stupid all of you are, and I can't say it in bigger, more aggressive words but they want to overthrow Thunderclan and then takeover the whole forest, it's not that difficult to understand!", Rusty just says and then turns to leave.
"And why would they do that?!", Spottedleaf yelled after him.
Rusty turned his head to look over his shoulder, and with an sigh he says: "that is like asking why the moon comes out at night and why the sun is so bright." Then he turned and picked up the kids and vanished behind the hidden entrance to the Thunderclan camp.
"Fucking delusional fools.", was to be heard still. Spottedleaf only turned, her head heavy with misery, fear, confusion and the sense that she messed up big time.
Fuck.
(chapter 8)
"Hi.", Snowtuft said. "Aaaa!! God why are you doing this!", Rusty jumped and hissed, turning around to look at the white tom. "I didn't even do.. Anyways, Hi, how are you?", Snowtuft asked instead, measily ignoring how he always for some reason scared Rusty.
"Great, until you.", was the reply. And Snowtuft knew that Rusty was just mean for the sake of being mean, and he also just laughed at that anyway himself. "If you say so. Well not my problem anyway.", the white tom said.
