[Lilly] Tattletale

[кєηzι]

_{Echo looked around the abandoned building in hopes of finding Rambo, the tom she was crushing on so badly. Her blue eyes scanned around the building. He wasn't on the first floor. She climbed the stairs to the attic and spotted Rambo. The she-cat self consciously gave her grey chest hairs a few licks before padding over to him. She dipped her head. "Hello, Rambo." She mewed, her sweet voice gentle.}

The tom was lying in front of a broken window, poking at the shards of glass and watching them fall to the ground. He looked aimlessly around the forest, hoping to find something that caught his eye, being whatever that would be. His sleek black ears picked up the pattering of pawsteps trotting closer, but Rambo made no effort to move. Whoever it was, would come to him. The muscular cat shifted his position, so he was sitting up. Hello, Rambo. Rambo tore his gaze from the window, his piercing yellow eyes moving to see Echo. He nodded at her before emitting a large yawn. He really needed something to ease his boredom. Maybe go kill a cat or two, he thought to himself, then snorted at his own lame joke. "Do you need something, Echo?" he asked in a monotone voice, almost rudely. Although, he was like that to everyone and Echo knew that.

_{Echo sighed, "Yes, well, I have news to share with you. It involves your mate." She mewed, hoping to get his attention, "You won't be pleased to hear this... But she's-" Echo paused, looking for the right word. The only word she could think of was cheating. Kissa is a dirty cheater! "- cheating on you. Kissa is cheating on you, with Burnt." She whispered, hoping Rambo wouldn't get mad at her for saying so. It was true, but then again, why would Rambo trust her? Echo looked up into Rambo's yellow eyes, almost expecting him to yell in outrage.}

Rambo's ears flicked back and forth, his eyes narrowing in suspicion. What involves my mate and I is nobody's business. Especially not one of my own rouges, he thought, his mind twisting in dark thoughts, wondering what was up with Kissa. Rambo continued to stare at Echo, his face like stone, expressionless. Kissa is cheating on you, with Burnt. The dark-furred tom blinked, processing the words. He sighed and averted his gaze back to the window, curling his sleek tail around his paws. "I knew this was going to happen sooner or later. Kissa's a.... well, what do you call it?" He murmured, glancing at Echo for a brief moment. "Tom whore. They're just attracted to her naturally, and sometimes I wonder if she calls on them for attention. Forbid, I don't give her any," he said, admitting his last sentence with a soft snort. The tom stood up and stretched, his body manner unusually calm, considering he had just found out that Kissa was going with another tom. He was only surprised to hear it was with Burnt; that tom seemed like a loyal cat. Rambo padded towards Echo, only to stop a few inches away. He inhaled her scent, please by how sweet it smelled to him. "How did you find out?" he asked, his voice barely above a whisper.

[кєηzι]

_{The she-cat nodded, what Rambo said was true. Kissa was a tom whore. Echo hesitated, wanting to comfort him, but she was scared if she moved closer that he would act hostile. She touched her nose to his shoulder anyways. "I'm sorry Rambo. Kissa was flirting him right in front of Allie and I. I went up here to watch them through a hole, and when Allie told Burnt to bug off, Kissa was over protective of him. I'm sorry." She kept saying she was sorry because she was. She was the one delivering him this news.}

Rambo made no movement when she touched her nose to his shoulder, but inside it relaxed him. "It's not your fault my mate's a whore. Surprised me that it was Burnt, but whatever. When I get the chance, I'll claw both their ears off," he said with a menacing growl, revealing his sharp white teeth. He shook his head and sat down, the black leather wristlet he wore on his right paw moving against his fur. It was his sister's; when she died as a kittypet Rambo went to her Twolegs' house to retrieve it. Originally it was a collar, but Rambo had tore into it, rearranging it so it would fit on his paw. Rambo unsheathed his claws and used his left paw to embed a claw mark on it. It already had two, now three, claw marks on it. One for his sister, one for his mother-who died in a rouge fight, and one for Kissa. All the things he had lost. Rambo stared at it, stared at the bite marks on it, the torn parts, the red cloth that was tied around it. It was part of his mother's red bandana that she would always wear around her neck, and now it was a valued possession of Rambo. The tom sighed, glancing back at Echo. "Maybe I should just do it right now..." He mused, digging his claws in the matted carpet.

[кєηzι]

_{Echo nudged his shoulder gently, her eyes staying at the wristlet on his right paw. The grey she-cat guessed what each claw mark symbolized, something he'd lost, or that had made him angry. Though she had no idea of its importance to him. Echo herself had a prized possession, a cardinal feather in her tail. It had been her siblings favorite toy, before they'd died. Echo's life story wasn't pleasant either, so she understood Rambo more than others. "Rambo." She whispered in his ear. "You know that's not the best way to handle this... Maybe they will leave on their own?"}

[✿-L!LLY]

Her whisper sent shivers down his spine, but he tried not to show his amazement for the she-cat. And in a flash, his eyes were cold again. "Oh, no. If I only get one thing out of this mess, it will be the pleasure of exiling those traitors. You just don't go for the Alpha's mate, Burnt must be completely crazy in that small head of his. Loyalty is everything; all we have is loyalty to each other. Kissa and Burnt aren't loyal and I will make their lives miserable for this," he growled, standing up and pacing. His cold gaze stared straight at Echo. "Those wimps, the Clan cats, they don't know the kind of loyalty rouge bands have. They wouldn't know it if it bite them in their nose, they're incompetent and foolish. They'll pay. Kissa will pay. Burnt will pay. Everyone's whose ever hurt me will pay," he said and stopped pacing for a moment. "I'm not an enemy you want to have," Rambo said with a huff, and flopped back down on the carpet, his face twisted in anger. It had taken all of his strength to stay here and resist killing those traitors.

[кєηzι]

_{Echo watched him pace around, listening to him with ears perked, wanting to catch every word that came out of his mouth. When he flopped down next to her, she swiped her tongue over his ear. "I know, Burnt is a foolish tom. What you say is true... The two have no loyalty. They deserve to be exiled." A slight fire burned deep inside her blue eyes. "I will be by your side, Rambo. I know what loyalty is, and I promise to be loyal to you and The Renegades." She vowed softly, eyes serious.}

[✿-L!LLY]

Rambo rested his head on his paws, his glare full of menace. His ears flicked back and forth against his head as Echo talked, surprisingly calmed by her words. When she had finished speaking, he lifted his head to bore his yellow gaze into hers. A smile twitched on his lips, but if was gone in a flash. "Thank you Echo," he said. "I knew I could trust you," he added, his gaze sparkling as he gazed at her.
