Galelight Vixenleap trotted through the forest, trying to keep her mind off things. She had decided to take walks everyday to calm herself, as Thorn was lurking in her mind and coming out more easily. Thoughts flooded Vixenleap's mind, the Deathclan and Treeclan battle, her murder of Dovekit, meeting Sunheart and Fadingnight. Speaking of the devil, noises were heard loudly behind Vixenleap. The warrior scented the air and relaxed. She turned to the direction of the sound, green eyes blazing. "Sunheart, what are you doing?"

Sunheart himself was out for a stroll as well.
Though, to be more precise... This was Moon who was out for a stroll. Dear old Sunny had retreated into the back of their mind, having lost the heart to fight. Mostly because that fox-heart left Treeclan. Moon was undeniably filled to the brim with rage. Of course, he did get control out of this little bump in the road. He supposed he should relish it, considering nowadays regardless if ol' Sunny wanted control back, Moon severely doubted that he had the willpower to wrest control back. The whole, Starry leaving thing, really left him in a mess. Well, more of a mess than he usually was, anyways.
He wasn't hunting, so he wasn't exactly taking care to be quiet. He scented Vixenleap in the air and smirked. This should be interesting... She turned around and seemed to be calm. She then questioned him. He gave a gentle smile, though it was slightly off. His blue orbs failing to display Sunheart's shine, instead showing a dark ocean.
"Oh... You know... Just taking a walk..." He purred, though his tone was off. The normally awkward voice filled with kindness was replaced by boundless pride and danger.

Vixenleap immediately knew something was off about Sunheart. His tone, his smile, and what really gave it away was the eyes. This wasn't Sunheart, this was Moon standing in front of her.
Vixenleap had not known about her mentors departure, yet knew that she was rare to see. The warrior stood still, eyes narrowing. An edge of Thorn came across her voice. "Moon, I didn't think I'd see you again...." She meowed. 'Oh great, can I say hi, pleaseee?' Thorn begged
No.

Seems Vixenleap was less than happy to see him.
How cute. Moon could hear the flecks of Thorn creeping into Vixenleap's voice. It would be fun to see Thorn again... Or bloody. Whichever. They were synonymous in his mind. It seemed Vixenleap was still holding back Thorn... What a shame. Moon couldn't quite understand the cats who denied their better half. That was why... Starry had been everything before she abandoned them. She had been her own better half. She simply hid it well.
"You'll be seeing a lot of me now..." He purred, satisfaction lining his words.

As much as she tried to find the correct words, Vixenleap was speechless at Moons comment, but her face showed no sign of shock, just a ice breaking death stare. She could hear Thorn screaming to talk out loud. The screaming countined until Vixenleap gave in, her head facing the ground.
It was Thorn time, the other half burst out like a cannon, her eyes grew wide and a very crooked smirk swept across her face. She lifted her head to face Moon.
"Eh, good. Where's little Sunheart of yours? He normally is the first one before you."

Moon only smiled darkly at Vixenleap's reaction.
He could tell she was completely shocked, no matter how hard she tried to hide it. It showed in her eyes. Although, she did seem to be trying to melt him down with her intense stare. Oh well. Then she looked down and she raised her head, a crooked smirk plastered across the she-cat's face, eyes stretched wide. He purred. Vixenleap was oh so sweet... But it seemed as if the list of cats who liked him had been reduced to one. Hmph.
"Mm... He's in here somewhere." He gestured to his head with a forepaw. "He's been heartbroken... Cute isn't it?" He chuckled darkly. "Thus... I get to call the shots all the time now. I don't think dear old Sunny could take back control, even if he wanted to! He doesn't have the will anymore." He seemed triumphant.

Thorn's smirk faded as Moon spoke, her ears perked with interest, her tail curled. "Heartbroken, you say? My, my." She meowed, a mock sad face showed. "Dang it, I need something for Vix." She muttered. 'Hey!' Vixenleap yelled from the back.
Thorn had mixed feelings about this new 'Moon forever' thing, how would he explain his new attitude to other cats he knew?

Moon shrugged.
"Mm... You'd be best waiting. Some cats are simply unable to bear the pain that life inevitably brings around... It's most likely a simple matter of time before dear old Vixen breaks, just like Sunny here." He chuckled darkly. Then he supposed he should explain before it was asked.
"I've been the one in control for a little while now... Sunny didn't interact with anyone besides Vixenleap and Starry. Met a few here and there... But for all they know, time simply changes cats." He smiled, a disturbing edge painfully evident. "No one knows I'm not Sunny. Well, asides from you two."

Thorn merely nodded as she listened to Moons explanation. Her narrowed eyes burning.
So, only time will tell. Remembering how unstable Vixenleap is with emotions, she grinned wickedly. "Perfect. Probably going to be any day until she cracks." She said, half to herself. Facing the tom, she explained her prediction. "Her.. Or me.. Murdering a kit, the screams and negative feelings some cats feel about should shorten the time."
It was the first time that had revealed that she had murdered Dovekit, besides Mistpaw, who saw her do it. Others probably thought it was the snake that helped with the job.

Moon was rather pleased to hear it.
Regardless of who it was, they weren't exactly happy at the idea of being alone, one of a kind. Right now, Moon was generally on his own. The amount of cats who suffered from this particular brand of insanity were far and few in between, and most resisted the pull of an inner voice. Of course, if Vixenleap finally gave in and allowed Thorn to rule... Things would so much sweeter.
He smiled that disturbing smile, that had no place on Sunheart's face. Moon's? It was simply natural. "Mm... Murdering a kit? That should surely do it... She should know it would be easier to simply give in." He laughed. "Poor old Sunny couldn't take it when that fox-heart abandoned us. Left for an entirely different clan! Hmph!"

Thorn again listened to Moon, tilting her head and staring blankly. What. Which foxheart?
Then a sudden realization came over both halves, the only cat to break Sunheart by doing that would be Fade. Thorn stood, her smile swept away and her face emotionless, except the few hints of sadness, from both halves.
Going back, she straightened up and meowed in response. "Oh. She probably will soon. I'll try my best to break her when she comes back."

Moon noticed the smile fall right off Thorn's face.
Personally, his smile stayed intact, even as a torrent of rage hid behind it. Sunheart had more or less fallen into a depression, unwilling to even attempt to restrain Moon. Moon was angry and wanted to tear that fox-heart apart for abandoning them and the clan. First of all, she had left without saying goodbye or any hint as to a reason! It only served to fuel Moon's bloodlust and rage.
Of course, grief tore straight through both halves. Though, it was more destructive in its manifestation for Moon. "Glad to hear it... Thorn."
((I'm kinda curious... Do you actually plan for Thorn to become the dominant personality?))

(Kinda, I guess. It could lead to some really interesting threads with people)
Thorn held her head high, chuckling quietly. "So you do remember my name. Thought you forgot about poor old Thorn." She meowed, amusement rising in her eyes. To Thorn, Fade had been an ally, and to Vixen, a friend. This discovery cracked both of them, mostly Vixen though, because of her being VERY emotional.
Thorn then turned around and looked at the territory. She looked over her shoulder and said calmly and casually, "Want to hunt? People might question if we don't show up with prey or something."

Moon purred in response.
No words attached, simply a noise of positivity. Which, actually lacked any sort of bloodthirsty or manipulative intent behind it. The one cat he would not hurt was Thorn, now that Starry left. Of course, Vixenleap was included in that package, though Sunheart was the one who connected with Vixenleap more than Moon did.
"Hm..." Moon shrugged. "I don't see the point, since cats are perfectly allowed to go out into the territory without hunting intentions... However, we can do so if you still want to."

Thorn stared and nodded emotionlessly, only the slightest of smirk came across her face. "Eh, hunting helps with stress. Just the effect of killing treerats." She meowed, an edge to her raspy voice. The she-cat then bounded into the territory, only the slight limp in her hind leg holding her back.
In her life, both Thorn and Vixen had grown a fear of trees, which was ironic for the clan, but yeah. She had never trusted the huge nature beasts since she broke her leg and avoided trees as much as possible. So no on climbing to catch treerats.
