Bleeding Hearts

After years of traveling, Richtofen and the gang have gotten past many challenges.

However, once Richtofen goes missing, his friends are frantic.

Where is their friend, and is he okay?

....

MAJOR FANTASY WARNING XD

Sneak Peek
Richtofen blinked in confusion.

"Vhat do you mean by, 'promises of power?'" he growled.

The dark brown tabby tom laughed, his ice-blue eyes glinting.

"We heard you have the power to bend the elements. If you work with us, you will control the world." he meowed.

"Who are you!? I vill never believe you!" Richtofen snapped.

"It's simple. I'm Hawkfrost." the tom meowed with a smirk.

.::.

Dempsey washed his face gently.

"Wonder what Richtofen's doing, he's been at the stream for a while now." he meowed.

He padded alongside the trail of river stones, the morning dew on the grass tickling his paws with every step. The sky was a light baby blue with morning streaks of light pink and orange, the clouds a bright white.

.::.

Takeo and Nikolai snorted at each other.

"Shut up, Russian bear." Takeo hissed.

"Japanese idiot." Nikolai replied.

Takeo reached down to take a sip, remembering Richtofen leaving much earlier to go take a break at the stream. Where had he gone? What was taking him hours to do?

.::.

Richtofen laughed.

"Zo, your telling me zat you are building an army of toms to control ze vorld, and because I can make ze Magic Substance, or vhat I call, element 115, that provides cats vith powers, you vant me to join it?" he mewed, and then narrowed his eyes.

"Y-yeah. Duh. I'm evil like you. And if you help, maybe you'll learn to control those zombies you mentioned?" Hawkfrost offered.

Richtofen sat right up. The zombies? He lightened up a bit, but then darkened again. This cat was suspicious. He could not be trusted.

"No." Richtofen meowed simply, and turned away, padding up a slope.

"Woah woah woah, when I make an offer, you don't get a choice!" Hawkfrost snapped, and then lunged, tackling Richtofen to the ground, slashing the tom in the forehead. A trickle of blood ran down onto the bridge of his nose.

Hawkfrost tied a cloth around Richtofen's mouth to prevent him from calling for help, and put a chain around his paws to prevent movement.

"Now, you'll HAVE to obey me!" Hawkfrost meowed, and stared deep into Richtofen's eyes with a strange glow until the tom stopped struggling. Richtofen's eyes grew dull, as if under a trance.

.::.

Dempsey froze at the stream, and saw a tabby with Richtofen pinned to the ground.

"HEY! LEAVE HIM ALONE!" Dempsey screamed, and ran towards Richtofen.

But it was too late, the cats suddenly vanished from sight.

"NIKOLAI! TAKEO! RICHTOFEN'S BEEN CAT-NAPPED!" Dempsey screeched.
