The Joy of Hunting ((Wild/Moon))

[Swiftpelt]

Saphira couldn't help but jump back abit as an overwhelming scent caught her nose and soon was followed by a large tom, his eyes hostle as ever. At first, the thought about running hit her hard and fear began to creep up her body. But at the same time, the scent that the tom had was the same as Banditshard, a tom she had met two moons ago.

But the scent was alittle different then Banditshard's, as well as the tom's looks. This tom, even though it was indeed a clan cat, would not stop her from getting to Banditshard and equally stood her ground. I will not let some tom, block me from him. But maybe.. Saphira thought, remembering the word FireClan and an Idea crossed her mind. Lashing her tail, the gray she-cat put one pawstep foward and calmly spoke to the tom with her ears flicking back.

"No. I have come too far to let a Clan cat like you, block me from someone I want to see."
Putting another paw forward, her eyes seemed like pools of water that sparkled in the sunlight.
"And If you chose to fight me, then I will fight as well. I am not the type that runs from cats that claim to chew bones." She added, shifting her body abit to ready herself for an attack and lashed her tail with a calm smile.

"So what shall it be?" Saphira asked the tom, although, she knew what the answer would be.

[*~Blazeheart~*]

Whirlwind froze for a heartbeat, his eyes wide with surprise. This she-cat seemed to have a tone of authority and courage in her voice that he had a hard time believing she was a soft kittypet. But the gray tabby tom collected himself and his eyes grew hard again like yellow chips of ice.

"I'll give you one more chance to leave kittypet, or you'll be going home with scars,he growled, lashing out a paw with unsheathed claws and held it threateningly.
"You're a tresspasser in Fireclan territory and I will drive you away. Kittypet or not."

His tail also began lashing, fighting moves running through his head as he chose which one to use on the she-cat if she refused to leave. One claw blow ought to be enough.

[>>!MOON!<<]

When oceanpaw looked around she desided to just go and find whirlwind and meadowcloud.
AS oceanpaw started running threw the forest on her way she picked up her freshkill.
When she picked up her last piece of fresh kill she finally found meadowcloud and whirlwind.
And someone that she had never seen before.
"hey who is this?" She said in a concerned voice.

[Swiftpelt]

The sharp tone in the tom's voice was true and his movements were crystal clear, signs that Saphira had hoped to avoid. She was sure of this however, that clan cats would fight to the death in order to protect their home and without mercy. But these words, she would not give up and slowly unsheathed her claws with a slight hint of anger in her voice.

"Once again, I say no. Besides, who wants to go home to a bunch of lies. So since you have made your choice, I have decided mine. I will fight, not as a kittpet...but as my father was. A Warrior."

Shifting her body again, her tail rose until it was the same length as her body and let out hiss of her own. Her eyes however, glowed of a fire that was unlike other kittypets and seemed as if she wasn't one at all. A blue fire, within a pool of water. Watching the tom closely, she barely even noticed Oceanpaw enter in and only became aware of she-cat when Oceanpaw spoke up.

Since he is skilled at fighting, I guess I have to watch where he moves and counter when he reacts. That....will be a tough one. Saphira thought, her eyes still locked on Whirlwind.

[*~Blazeheart~*]

"An intruder that will leave,"Whirlwind meowed, half a reply to Oceanpaw and half a threat to the she-cat.

Then her response took Whirlwind by surprise again. "A warrior?"he echoed softly.
"So...your father was a warrior,"he clarified, still keeping his crouching stance and unsheathed claws, but his fur began to lie flat.
"If that's the case, then maybe I should hear you out..."he considered, observing the she-cat with thoughtful yellow eyes.

Suddenly the bushes rustled and a scruffy black tom emerged with a squirrel in his jaws.
"Ha! I beat you Oceanpaw! I got a squirrel"Padpaw meowed triumphantly, flining the squirrel onto the ground. Then he looked up and suddenly noticed the newcomer.
Padpaw let out a low, wolf-whistle.
"Whoa, who's that? She's cute!"he meowed with a grin.

"A kittypet,"Whirlwind replied through gritted teeth, exhuding impatience and exasperation towards the young, mischevious apprentice.

"Oh a kittypet? Hm, that's too bad. I would have loved to have gone on a date with you,"Padpaw meowed to Saphira with a smirk.

"She just trespassed here you idiot,"the gray tabby tom growled, rolling his eyes.
"But apprantly her father was a warrior."
"She trespassed here, but apprantly she is part warrior."

[>>!MOON!<<]

"Good job padpaw"
"So your dad was a warrior what clan was he in"
AS Oceanpaw looked around she was just thinking about her parents and when she will see them again. -a single tear rolled down her cheak-
"my parents died in battle"

[Swiftpelt]

Saphira's eyes slowly widened with surprize and her tail froze for a moment, as the tom spoke with a more softer tone and ease himself abit. Sensing the tention start to dissapper, the light gray she-cat began to relax with her pelt slowly flattening. Her claws were still unsteathed though, just in case the tom tried something.

Good, now I have a chance to talk. Saphira thought, only to be cut short by another tom and by the looks of this one, smaller then Whirlwind. The black tom's whisleing sound, followed by the remarks that was aimed toward her was little too bold and simply flicked her ears at the comments.

"Yes, My father was a warrior and has fought in many battles against other clan cats." Saphira meowed calmly, her long tail swaying back and forth in the breeze. As she was about to speak again, the light gray she-cat flicked her ears at what Oceanpaw asked her and simply shook her head."My father never told me....but, he did tell me that his clan was always burning with the power of fire." Tilting her head to the sky, the sun's rays revealed the second part of her markings that glowed slightly as she closed her eyes.

"I have been waiting for a chance to get away, to live out the dream that my father wanted me to do....And when I met Banditshard. Well...then you can guess why I'm here." Saphira chuckled softly, lowering her head back to the three clan cats with a twich of her ears.
"And I'm sorry your parents died...It must be hard. You know, without a family." She sighed softly, remembering her sister and her mother.

I wonder what there doing....laying around the house I bet.

[>>!MOON!<<]

"ya its really hard sometimes but i got a clan and friends but i do think about were they are and if i have any brothers or sisters"

After oceanpaw stoped talking she looked up to the sky and saw a silouette of her mom and dad in the sky!?
"WoW"

[*~Blazeheart~*]

Whirlwind listened to the kittypet's explanation, ears cocked forward as he heard a familiar name.
"Banditshard?"the gray tom repeated with surprise. For one heartbeat, his yellow eyes hardened and his eyes narrowed, making his pupils look like chips of ice. His tail flicked irritably. It was understandable, for Clan cats were not allowed to associate with kittypets. It was against the warrior code. The tom pushed the thought away, deciding to deal with it later.

"What's your name?"he asked, though there was now an edge in his voice.

[Swiftpelt]

Saphira noticed the change in Whirlwind's look and once again began to tense up, her eyes flashed with a sudden burst of fire and her tail lashed in response. She was right, clan cats took too much pride within themselves to even speak to kittypets and this tom's actions were proving just that. But, I'm not like any kittypet...I'm more then that. She thought, her eyes half closed abit before opening them fully, hearing the tom speak to her again but with an edge.

Flicking her ears, Saphira slowly calmed herself and spoke with a mellow tone."My name is Saphira. My father named me that, in the nickname Blue flame." Her blue eyes drifted to Oceanpaw, then to Padpaw and then back to Whirlwind with another lash of her tail.
"So what is your's, Warrior? It's only fair to say it, since I have said mine." The light gray she-cat added, her voice also leaving a small edge to it.

[*~Blazeheart~*]

A wry smile creeped across his lip and his whiskers twitched with slight amusment. The she-cat was quite brave for a kittypet and authorative too in a sense.
"Whirlwind,"he replied with a slight nod of his head.


"I'm Padpaw,"the scruffy black tom piped up, bowing his head towards Saphira dramatically with mock politeness. A smirk played across his lips.

Shooting a glare at the apprentice, Whirlwind resisted the urge to clout the apprentice.
"Well Saphira, since you have a reason to be here, we'll take you back to camp,"the gray tabby meowed, flicking his tail for her to follow.
"We'll see what Revolutionstar has to say."

[>>!MOON!<<]

"I am oceanpaw" The white cat said.
Then she turned around and picked up all of her fresh kill to bring back to camp.

[Wildheart]

Meadowcloud watched silently from the bushes that crowded the path where Whirlwind had stopped to talk to a new she-cat she had never seen before. The scent that rolled off of her and filled the air was unfamiliar to her and she had a very uneasy feeling in her gut when she was Whirlwind face off with this new cat. She looked at the defensive tenses of both cats and she tensed to join her clan mate.

She was about to leave her hiding place to come and help him defend the clan from this unknown cat. Meadowcloud had an uneasy feeling that this she-cat would cause problems and she felt a strong connection to Whirlwind and she hated not being by his side at this moment.

Bunching her back legs she was about to jump when an apprentice came barging through the woods, breaking so many branches Meadowcloud gave a soft hiss. Meadowcloud glanced up behind a thick thistle bush and noticed Padpaw crash through the forest too with a squirrel in his mouth. Meadowcloud rolled her eyes and stayed in hiding. All she could hear was muffled voices but she noticed the change in the tone of what was being said and noticed that Whirlwind was heading in the direction of the camp with the new cat with the apprentices in tow.

Sighing she stood up and raced softly after them, her paws barely skidding the ground and not making a sound unlike the apprentices. Meadowcloud knew she would be noticed by her scent but she continued to pursue the cats. Finally catching up to them, she started keeping pace along side first the apprentices to let them know she is there, and she continued up to give the new she-cat a curious calculating look. She noticed when the new comer walked a loud jingle came from her neck and she noticed a small bell on a lace hooked around her neck. Meadowcloud's eyes widened slightly but she continued until she was finally beside Whirlwind.

"Hello." she meowed shyly. "I see you picked up a new cat while you were gone." she tried to meow lightly. She couldn't help feeling a bit nervous about how Whirlwind was escorting a female cat to the camp. She brushed her pelt against his to let him know she was still there and interested in him, hoping he would understand that she liked him.

[Swiftpelt]

Saphira nodded at Whirlwind's words, quite pleased to see the tom cool down a bit and glanced down at Padpaw with a half look of annoyance. It was odd how this little tom could act so bold to her and smirk like she was some prize catch. It was both amusing and annoying to see that, but paid it no mind.

Saphira soon found herself following the three cats, all while thinking of what she was getting herself into and narrowed her eyes only when the bell around her neck began to ring again.
This collar is the vain of my existence. She thought, the pitiful ringing still rang in her ears and nearly wanted to rip it off. But that thought ended short as another scent that was even more different then the others, slowly appeared beside her.

Glancing over, she spotted yet another clan cat but this time it was a she-cat. This one was older then Oceanpaw and by the looks of her, a warrior. Saphira was about to speak up to the she-cat, but the warrior had left her side to be next to Whirlwind and slowly, lifted her head to the trees. Yellow, green, red, and brown. The colors that reminded her that it was fall. Now, few kittypets really even wandered out in a season like this and really, none ever did. But Saphira had seen this already and even winter, she had been mostly outside.

Fall and Winter. Odd, that Saphira would know these two seasons and their names. But that was the only time she saw the twolegs do some..playing with weird cards. Yes...she knew them quite well but at the same time, wanted nothing to do with them. Sighing abit, the light gray she-cat tilted her head back to the two cats in front of her and was able to catch what Meadowcloud had done.

Love.....If only that were simple. Saphira thought, silently padding along with the others and let her tail sway from one side to the other.

[Wildheart]

Meadowcloud was bristling with curiosity about the strange she-cat that followed behind her. Although she didn't want to leave Whirlwind's side, she wanted to be with the kittypet and question her about her life. Slowing slightly, she came to a small trot along side the grey she-cat.

She wanted to strike up a conversation but the loud jingle that sounded from her neck seemed to make conversation impossible. Frowning she stepped in front of the new comer and looked at her with kind eyes. "Do... Do you want me to try and get that off of you?" Her voice seemed shy at first but she seamed to gain enough confidence to look at her in the eyes.

[*~Blazeheart~*]

Whirlwind gave Meadowcloud a nod of greeting, smiling a bit at her presence.
"Yup. The newcomer wants to join the Clan, but we'll see what our leader has to say,"he replied to her comment. He felt her warm pelt brush past his flank, flinching inwardly. He felt his ears grow a bit hot. Probably an accidental brushhe thought to himself, heart beating fast. Trying to keep his thoughts together, it was punctured by the conitnuous ringing of Saphira's bell. The annoying sound made his fur bristle a bit. Thankfully, Meadowcloud suggested the kittypet take the collar off.
"Good idea,"Whirlwind meowed, turning around.
"Better get it off before it scares the prey away, or attract other predators."

[>>!MOON!<<]

When Oceanpaw reached the camp she went straight tothe fresh kill pile were she dropped her batch and then took some to the elders.
As oceanpaw padded out of the elders den she went over to the apperectices den and took a short nap.

[Swiftpelt]

Saphira stopped as Meadowcloud steped in front of her, her tail slowly flicking side to side and with a sigh, nodded. "Yes...I'm getting very tired of this....chain of annoyence." She spoke, her voice having a hint of anger and flicked her ears back at Whirlwind's comments.

"Believe me, I hate it just as much as you do. But please don't tease me about this, it's bad enough that I have to deal with this.....twoleg trap." Saphira added, feeling alittle ashamed by what the collar was doing to her and dug her claws into the ground. It was bad enough that she had to deal with this tearable ringing and was some what glad that the she-cat had offered to help her with it. Glancing at the two cats, she nodded again and silently wanted for them to contiune.

[Wildheart]

Meadowcloud shrank back slightly at the she-cat's words. "I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be making fun of you. I was... just trying to help." She meowed in a small voice. Looking at Whirlwind shyly she looked for comfort but only found confusion and defensiveness. She knew it was pointed to the kittypet, but she still felt it was her fault and wondered idly if he even noticed when she lightly brushed against him.

Shaking her head slightly she turned back to the grey pelted cat. Moving toward the newcomers neck, she noticed her eyes for the first time. Blinking she focused on them and noticed the underlying fire that seemed to blaze in them. Staring deeply at them without her realizing it, she didn't even flinch away. She saw a power that slightly glowed in her eyes and though she may not know it now, the blue colored eyed cat gained respect in Meadowcloud's eyes.

Blinking she went back to taking off the collar. Grabbing hold of the blue collar she gently tugged at it with her teeth. She let out a yowl of pain as her gum blazed on fire. She tasted blood again and growled slightly at the pain. Go away. She thought. Pulling at the collar she tugged it off. Holding it in her mouth she tossed it to the side and it gave its last jingle before laying motionlessly on the ground. Turning back to the she-cat, Meadowcloud gave her a smile. "My names Meadowcloud." She told her.

[*~Blazeheart~*]

Whirlwind felt his tail twitch a bit at the kittypet's tone. Not really pleased by the way she talked with the edge in her tone. And especially since it made Meadowcloud nervous. He touched his tail tip comfortingly on Meadowcloud's shoulder, flashing Saphira a warning glance that she shouldn't make Meadowcloud feel uncomfortable.

"Good,"the gray tom nodded in approval as the collar came off.


"Can I keep it?"Padpaw asked innocently, sniffing the collar and picking it up delicately with his teeth. He shook his head to make it ring. He liked the tinkling sound and shook more vigourously.

[Swiftpelt]

Saphira flinched a bit, suddenlly aware of what Meadowcloud was saying and the warning that Whirlwind gave to her. Sheathing her claws, the light gray she-cat smiled gently and nodded. "It's not your fault, so please don't blame yourself." She spoke calmly, her voice once again taking it's gentle tone and let her blue eyes rest on the she-cat's.

It was odd, a she-cat with a burning green gaze and somehow, felt warmed by it. It had a calm but hidden blaze to it, a feeling of love and peaceful at the same time. Saphira's ears twitched with one eyebrow raised, wondering why this warrior was staring at her like that.
But the warrior soon pulled away from her eyes and started to work on her collar, which Saphira had to force herself not to move. She could feel the tightness around her neck as Meadowcloud tugged on it, making the she-cat hiss abit in her mind and lash her tail a copole of times.

Thankfully, the ringing had stopped and the tugging ceased to grip her neck, giving Saphira the freedom she had never had before. She tilted her head slowly to where her collar laid, no longer ringing in her ears, she smiled and turned her head to the she-cat with a small chuckle.
"Meadowcloud.....it fits you. Thank you for helping me." Saphira mewed, giving the brown warrior a nod and waved her tail. "My name is Saphira." She added, smiling again.

[Wildheart]

Meadowcloud was focused on the collar but then she felt the glaze of something on her back and realized it was Whirlwind's tail. Where it hit her back tingled with energy. Does he know? What does he think of me? Why does this have to be so confusing. Why cant he just say something to me? He has to get the signs I give. Even Padpaw sees it an he isn't exactly the smartest fox in the cove. She thought.

Turning back to look at Saphira she noticed her features were less defensive and open. The small smile on her face lit up her features and made her seem more friendly. "You should smile more often." Meadowcloud said happily. Sighing she sat down beside Whirlwind and felt the radiance of his body on her fur. She didn't know how close she was to him but it felt like he was the sun that sent warmth through her fur and into her skin.

Glancing over she noticed the apprentice. "Padpaw leave that be." Suddenly she remembered the task at hand that made the warriors be in the forest and on the way to the camp in the first place. Meadowcloud got up and curled the tip of her tail around Whirlwind's face playfully. "Well, are we going to camp or not?" She asked the other cats. "Padpaw come on. The sooner we get to camp the sooner you can eat." Maybe. She thought. Not waiting for a response, she led the way to the camp.

[*~Blazeheart~*]

Whirlwind smiled as the kittypet lightened up and was relieved that Meadowcloud had lightened up. He hasn't realized it much yet, but he was growing concerned for Meadowcloud's well-being. He liked how she looked when she was cheerful, and eyes seemed to always radiate with warmth. He blinked, surprised that he thought of her that way. But he would deal with this later, for now the kittypet had to be delt with.
"Alright, let's get going,"he meowed, following after Meadowcloud.

The scruffy apprentic followed, though the collar with the bell was still in his mouth, tinkling everytime he took a step.

Ring ring ring

The cats' pawsteps were muffled by the moss underneath them as well as the trecherous tinkling.

Ring ring ring

Whirlwind gritted his teeth and his tail flicked back and forth irritably.

Ring ring ring

They were getting closer to camp. The trees were beginning to thin and the gorse entrace was coming into view.

Ring ring ring

"Will you please shut that thing up!"Whirlwind snarled at the apprentie, throwing Padpaw and the bell a loathsome look.
"You're going to drive us crazy as well as scare the prey away!"

[Wildheart]

Meadowcloud felt the coldness of Whirlwind's voice even though she knew it wasn't pointed toward her. "Whirlwind." She said, giving him a slight warning in her voice. She didn't like him yelling. Even if it was at Padpaw who deserved it to the fullest, no cat needs to get angry over something they can not control.

Meadowcloud looked at Padpaw and walked up to him. Saying nothing, she reached down quickly and grabbed it out of the apprentices mouth. Running away, Meadowcloud couldn't help give a giggle from taking the collar and bell away from the younger cat. I'll be right back. She tried to say, though it came out as; "A'll e igh ack." Racing through the forest as carefully as she could she winced at ever ring of the bell. Slowing down she stepped carefully, being sure as to not jingle the bell in case some obnoxious apprentice was following her.

Stopping, Meadowcloud looked around and dug a hole into the ground. Picking up the collar she buried it into the ground, getting dirt all over her paws but she didn't mind to much. Trotting back to the group, Meadowcloud made sure she came back in a new direction so Padpaw couldn't follow her path. Smiling she trotted right next to Saphira. "If you want to know I can tell you where it lies. I know you probably don't want it. But you still just might want to know." Meadowcloud gently smiled at her and then turned to Whirlwind; making sure he saw her smile to let him know she was not mad at him.

[*~Blazeheart~*]

Whirlwind fell silent under Meadowcloud's gaze, though still casted Padpaw and annoyed glance which was returned with a smug grin.

"HEY!"Padpaw yelped as he felt the bell being snatched away.
"My Bell!!"he yowled, trying to chase after Meadowcloud but felt teeth tug his tail and draw him back.

Whirlwind grasped Padpaw's tail and dragged him backwards before pinning the apprentice down with his forepaw. His eyes were full of amusement at Meadowcloud's trick, amazed at the she-cat's trickiness.
"You're not getting that bell back,"the silver tom meowed sternly to the apprentice.

"Let me go!!"Padpaw wailed, pounding the ground as if throwing a tantrum but couldn't shake the older warrior off.

Whirlwind refused the release Padpaw until he saw Meadowcloud, returning her smile with a grin and small gleam of laughter in his eyes. He stepped off Padpaw who lay there pouting.

[Swiftpelt]

Saphira nodded but stayed behind for abit, hearing the deardful ringing and flicked her ears back with annoyence. That tom is acting so much like a kittypet, playing with that...bell. I think he should be a kittypet. The light gray she-cat thought, chuckling abit before slowly following the small group with her tail swaying from one side to the other.

Saphira sighed, still hearing the ringing of the bell but glad that it least she could hear where they were. Even as she dropped back a few leagths, she could still hear the bell's noice that eccoed through the forest and reached her ears with a quiet but buggy tone. Blicking her blue eyes, she let her mind wander for a few and focused her hearing on just the sound.

Ring. Ring. Ring.

Saphira slowed her pace, gently moving one paw step after another.

Ring. Ring. Ring.

Was she ever this noisey? That thought, Saphira paid no mind to and countinued her slow pace.

Ring. Ring. Ri-.....

Saphira froze for a moment, her tail barely moving and tilted her head. It was only moments later that she started to hear yelling and without a sceond thought, broke into a run. As she got closer to the group, she found Meadowcloud running off with the bell and stopped in front of Whirlwind with a gentle smile. Even though she was panting abit.

"Sorry...I was training myself to listen on one thing." Saphira spoke, glancing down at the now pouting Padpaw and shook her head. "Do you even want to be a kittypet?" She suddenlly spoke to the black appentice, her tone firm before catching herself and sighed.
"I'm sorry..It's not my place to say things like that..but that bell is nothing but noise."

Turning her head, Meadowcloud's scent flowed next to her and the nodded slowly as the warrior came to her side. "No..not really. I had about enough of that ringing noise." Saphira chuckled, waving her tail slightly with her blue gaze resting on Whirlwind."So..this is your camp?" She asked, her short whiskers twitching abit.

[Wildheart]

Meadowcloud couldn't help the puff of fur that rose above her pelt whenever she noticed Saphira turn to Whirlwind to ask a question she could have easily asked her. Jealousy came off her pelt in small subtle waves but even Meadowcloud could smell it and even tried to make her fur go flat, calming herself. This cat she did not know and Meadowcloud doesn't even know if she has one of her own or not. Meadowcloud gulped down guilt when she realized how selfish she was being. She didn't even know why the grey she-cat was here.

Sighing she trudged behind the others, dragging her feet and tail on the ground. Now that they had returned back to the camp; Meadowcloud had a feeling Whirlwind would leave her to go do more important things then to just try to entertain a lone she-cat like herself. Knowing Whirlwind, he would probably either give a warning to Saphira or show her around the whole camp. Mind going black with sorrow filled thoughts; Meadowcloud sulked, slowing her pace to where the other cats were ahead of her and not even noticing her disappearance.

Sniffing the air Meadowcloud remembered that she had buried prey for the clan and hadn't even thought about it on the way back to camp. Growling at herself in annoyance she took one last look at what she could have had with Whirlwind before turning around to face the camp entrance again. Taking two steps a sharp pain ran through her mouth and up to her skull. Ow!!! She wanted to yowl in pain. She felt the mark where the thorn had stabbed her and realized with daunting accuracy that it was probably infected. It doesn't matter. She told herself. The clan is all that matters. Trying to reassure herself, Meadowcloud took a few paces, leaving the friendly world of her camp for the ever growing trees of the forest, leaving space between the two; never before feeling such a large gap on the inside of herself.

[Swiftpelt]

Something's wrong....

Saphira turned her head, suddenlly feeling like something was pireceing her fur with and invisable claw. It was Meadowcloud, barely catching the she-cat's fur standing on ends but noiced her eyes were in flames. She blicked for a moment, unaware of what was going on until she turned her head back to Whirlwind with a flick of her ears. It was clear now, the way the she-cat moved and talked to the tom in such a loving way.

But...I don't even like him. Saphira thought, raising an eyebrow and turned to Meadowcloud.
But to her dismay, the she-cat was already gone and slowly let out a sigh. Without a word, the light gray she-cat padded down the trail with her tail gentliy swaying and flicked her ears to the faint sound around her. It took a few mins to find Meadowcloud's scent, but with a smile on her face, soon spotted the she-cat and bounded to her side.

"Meadowcloud...If I may ask..What's wrong?" Saphira asked, this time cutting the she-cat off before she could walk any further. The stripe on her back once again appeared, alittle brighter then before while the other stripe appeared on the under side of her neck and ended halfway to her belly. The tip of her tail even glowed a silver-white, waving back and fourth as she stood. Blinking her pool blue eyes, Saphira waited for Meadowcloud to speak.

[Wildheart]

Meadowcloud walked slowly, her pace showing her emotions. Though her pace was slow, her feet brushed the ground gently, making no sound even on the many colored leaves that had fallen to the ground, slowly collecting until there were heaps of them on the side of the trail the clan had created. Head down, Meadowcloud focused on the air and sniffed it, trying to pin point the location of where her buried prey lied. Turning her ears, Meadowcloud heard the sound of approaching footsteps before a glowing face appeared through the trees. A face that was growingly familiar. She stood before Meadowcloud before she even realized that she had blocked Meadowcloud's way. She blinked at the grey she-cat's face, her whole body seemed to glow in a small patch of sun that rained down from the tree branches.

Meadowcloud blinked in shock at Saphira's question. "Oh. Yeah!" Meadowcloud smiled. "I was just kind of jealous for a moment." She replied truthfully. "Which I never am, so don't worry to much about that." Meadowcloud smiled in amusement. "Would you like to come with me though? I'm retrieving some prey I buried before we came across you." Meadowcloud bit her tongue. "But... There must have been a reason you came to our camp. You should go back." Meadowcloud smiled warmly. "Besides. Whirlwind would claw my ears off if I let you just walk out of camp right after we got there." And with that the brown tabby she-cat walked around Saphira and continued down the trail, humming to herself.

[~Ravenpaw~]

Hopepaw sighed, she had spent pretty much all day avoiding her mentor, like most days, she did that alot, her mentor was female and with Hopepaw being Hopepaw she didn't like females much at all. Toms were her life story, she loved toms and would have loved for her mentor to be a male. Hopepaw thought about it, she spent more time running around training herself then she did with her mentor, she learned how to hunt and fight a little just by watching warriors do it, Flamespirit was one she liked to watch, he was hawt, and not only that, his sister most likely the only female she will ever like was exactly like her, they both hated females, and in which case they both became friends for the same odd reason. But Darkpaw, she liked him, he was okay, he was cool and they both agreed on the same things, she liked him, possibly a crush so to speak, she liked him ALOT. Hopepaw sighed and scented the air, she looked at the ground and began to dig at it, she soon discovered prey had been buried there and the she hissed, her very light pale blue eyes narrowed a bit, Meadowclouds scent. "Wonderful" She muttered burying the prey again like it had never been searched through, she was good at that.
