 Jay smirked, he had clearly struck a nerve with that one, it amused him greatly so this tom held feelings for his Petaltail, yes, his. "How can it be yes and no?" he asked, "Is she or isn't she?" he asked pushing farther into the question, "Only a friend? How so, you seem to care so much more" He meowed tauntingly, he was good at that, able to taunt, able to get into others minds and mess with their heads, "harm? Sweet Petal?" he asked moving out of the way easily, Coalfur's movements were slopply now that he was angry, which made it easier for him, "Why would I ever do such a thing to my mate?" He asked lowly, just to strike another nerve, how far could he go with this. |

"A Clan cat always defends his Clanmates,"the jet-black tom snarled, lashing his tail and chin raised defiantly. The tom hissed in frustration as he missed again, leaping towards the rogue quickly and aiming his teeth at Jay, but missed again as the gray tom side-stepped.
Tch...I haven't fought in moons...Coalfur thought, grinding his teeth in irritation. The last he had fought was when he was still an apprentice. Being a nocturnal didn't normally require him to fight other cats, whom were usually asleep.
Coalfur froze again, his ear flicking up in surprise as Jay made the next sniding comment.
"What?"
This completely caught hte black-furred tom offguard, his yellow eyes wide. He glanced at Petaltail, hoping to see disblief in her eyes to show Jay was lying.

Petaltail swallowed uneasily, her eyes showed nothing but hurt and sorrow, she wasn't his mate not anymore the slightest look of disbelief was in her eyes, but only a little, because it guilted her so much to have been his mate in the past, "I-I'm not your m-mate anymore!" She sobbed sadly almost choking as she did, her tail coiling around her, she was so scared of Jay for what he did to her, she couldn't stand it anymore, just seeing him caused her to break down. Jay smirked at her reaction, "But My dear Petal, you will always be mine" he meowed quietly to her, her eyes widened with horror. Jay looked at her and back at Coalfur wondering what his reaction to this would be. |

Coalfur's tail lashed back and forth, though if it was out of anger and irritation or skeptism, he didn't know. He could see only a hint of disbelief in Petaltail's eyes, but it was more dominated by hurt, sorrow and fear.
Coalfur turned his attention back at Jay, leering at him with cold anger. Not the same anger as he had before, but more of a icy one, full of determination to protect Petaltail.
"You may think you're still her mate,"the jet-black tom growled coldy, beginning to slowly stalk around Jay, never keeping his yellow eyes off the rogue.
"But she doesn't think that of you anymore. She has her Clan to look after and we will look after her too. She doesn't need you anymore."

Jay snarled it wasn't working, Coalfur was now more powerful looking then before, the look in his eyes changed, Jay's plan had failed a bit, but had proven that Coalfur did care for Petaltail, he hissed his perfect fur bristling as he moved into the shadows, his sky blue eyes dauntingly watching before disappearing. Petaltail let out a terrfied yelp as Jay gave her one more glance over to see how she was coming along, before disappearing, she cried, sadly and scaredly. She was so afraid, he would come back, he had seen her, he knew how close she was, it wasn't fair, he would come back for her, she just knew it, it wasn't safe out here, she needed to get back into camp where it was safe.

Coalfur let out a menacing growl but didn't chase after Jay's retreating figure. The jet-black tom stood there with fur bristling and teeth clenched in a low growl, even after the sky-blue eyes were out of sight. It was after a few minutes before Coalfur was sure that the rogue was gone. He let his fur settle back down his spine and his claws sheath.
His tail sagged down and his ears drooped a bit, looking a bit weary. Coalfur turned back to Petaltail to see that she was shivering and had a look of fear in her eyes.
"It's okay,"he meowed hoarsely, padding slowly over and resting his tail-tip comfortingly on her shoulder.
"He's long gone now. He won't hurt you anymore."
Not as long as I'm aroundhe thought to himself.

The second after he placed his tail-tip on her, she panicked, she was so worried about the kits and of Jay she hardly knew what she was doing. She nuzzled against him burying her face in his neck, somehow she found herself comforted by Coalfur's scent, he had saved her from Jay, the nightmare that haunted her dreams. She only then realized what she had done and was blushing madly under her fur, she wondered what his reaction was to this, she didn't dare move though, she was to upset to move, she was to afraid to open her eyes, she found comfort in his scent, but really hoped she wasn't over stepping anything.

Coalfur tensed as Petaltail suddenly thrust herself into his fur, stroking his tail awkwardly in a comforting way. Then he relaxed a little bit, resting his head lightly atop hers and murmuring comforting words. His ear twitched as he realized it was getting late-or early for daytime cats. And he was growing tired, especially after his tussle with Jay.
"Come one, we should go back,"Coalfur mewed softly, slowly drawing away from Petaltail.
"You'll feel a lot safer back at camp.

"Thank you" Petaltail meowed, she was glad to have let that out and she felt a bit better but her worry clouded her judgement, she was still so afraid, "Camp" She meowed nodding camp was a wonderful word to even think of, she needed to get back to it, it was safer there, the safest place in the world right now, she would padded back in a never leave again, if she never left Jay would never find her again, it was perfect! She looked around with her dark yellow eyes, "L-Let's go" She meowed getting up swiftly, she didn't protest when he moved away thought she did admit she did like him warmth, now that she looked at him Coalfur looked really tired.

Coalfur stuck beside Petaltail, keeping his tail rested on her shoulder as a source of guidance and comfort. His pawsteps were steady, in a rhythmic pattern, though it grew more slow and sluggish as they neared teh den. His muscles felt sore and he was ready for a nap. But he wanted to make sure Petaltail was settled in the nursery and not in a state of shock. He gently led her to the nursery entrance, and gave her a smile he gave for the first time towards her.
"Well, I guess we should get some sleep..."he mewed, looking down shyly. He felt a bit saddenned. For he wasn't sure if he'd talk to Petaltail again. At least not in the near future, for he was always out at night, never during the day.

Petaltail stuck to his side afraid of Jay, her yellow eyes darted our for any signs of sky blue, that was her least favourite colour. She looked up as they got into camp, she felt instantly relieved, it was like when she was out of camp, she was constantly in fear and she felt unprotected out there, hense why she hardly ever left camp. She was to afraid to. She looked up at him, he smiled at her and she gave a soft smile, she liked his smile. She nodded, "I-I am tired" She meowed, which was true she was. "Thank you" She meowed, "Thank you for everything" She said gently, she meant every word.

Coalfur felt his face go red and he quickly backed away, and turned his face so she wouldn't see. Even under the cloak of the night, a reddish hue emerged from his jet-black furry cheeks.
"It's no trouble,"he replied, retreating even more. His movements were awkward and you could tell he looked uncomfortable. He had never had this feeling before. So close to company was this secluded tom that he still hasn't adjusted to it.
"Good night,"Coalfur mumbled, quickly padding back into the warrior's den. By now the sun was slowly rising. The jet-black tom wearily padded into his nest and settled down, instantly falling asleep.
He dreamed he was in the forest, racing through the dead of the night with the beautiful Petaltail running beside him. Unknown to him, he let out a purr in his sleep.

Petaltail smiled softly and nodded, "Thank you and Goodnight" She meowed as he padded away, she hoped she would see him again, she noted his look of uncomfort but she found it cute in a way. She watched him padded away for a while before getting up and padding into the nursery, for the first time she felt truely safe in camp, completely and it was because Coalfur was there. She hadn't felt like this since... no she couldn't be? She didn't think she could not after Jay, but yet here she was longing to see Coalfur again, his coal black fur sleek and dark as night itself, his yellow eyes so much like her own but with a hint of mystery behind them. Her own yellow eyes held a soft gaze much like that of her own mothers. Petaltail sighed softly.

[The next night]
His eyes blinked awake as the moon rose high up in the sky. Already around him, snoozing cats were twitching or purring in their sleep. He lay there for a heartbeat, savoring the dream in his mind. It had been a good dream. Of the night forest zooming past him as he raced through as if he were the fastest cat in the world. And beside him had been a she-cat. His ear twitched in surprise. Never before had another cat entered his dreams. But it made him feel content, her presence beside him was light-heartening.
Sadly, he doubted he'll see her again. He barely met cats again, especially because of his...condition. His tail flicked in an uncomfortable way.
It's probably for the best,he thought, though he wasn't thrilled by the thought.
Sighing, he got up slowly and exited the den. He might have to hunt, for looking at the meager pile of fresh-kill prompted him to. Yet his heart wasn't in it.
His yellow eyes flickered hopefully towards the nursery entrance, but there was no cat at the entrance. His heart felt like stone...

Petaltail had fallen asleep almost instantly she had slept for a while and her dreams were shockingly nice for once, no dreams of that dreaded monster Jay. The large fluffly she-cat had slept way at the back of the den to feel safe, it had worked for the longest time... until it became night once more. Her dreams twisted into terrible nightmares that plagued her mind and caused her to jerk away. She breathed heavily for a few seconds. Petaltail sighed, would the nightmares ever leave her alone, she didn't know, but at least she had gotten sleep for most of the day, she felt safer during the day to sleep, it was.. comforting under the light of sun. Petaltail considered going back to sleep but thought otherwise when she noticed how late it was, it was night time, she almost wondered if he would be out there, if Coalfur was waiting. She took a few seconds to decided what to do, in the end she figured since she was feeling better to try it out. Petaltail got up and padded out appearing in the entrance she looked around for Coalfur in the darkness with her bright yellow eyes.

He whipped around in surprise as a shifting of bramble alerted him. His gaze widened in surprise as a beautiful she-cat padded out of the nursery. His ears and tail flicked up full of hope and elated happiness that surprised even himself. The black-furred tom had an urge to run up to her like a kit to his mother, but he resisted the impulse. Instead, Coalfur contented himself with padding over to her, though his pace was more like a quick trot.
"Hello,"he meowed, a little shy and uncertain. He didn't know if she came out just to see him. Maybe it was only he who expected her.

Petaltail glanced about, she looked around and finally spotted him as he padded up, she wasn't surpised to see him, at night anyways, he did always come out at night. She was glad and happy to see him, she didn't know why but she wanted to nuzzle against him, but she resisted the temptation. Petaltail dipped her head, her eyes shimmering brightly, "Hello" She meowed back softly, she was happy to see him, and she wondered if he felt the same, glad to see her as well? It was a good question, he seemed rather shy and uncertain himself.

He stood awkwardly silent in front of her. But he was content enough not to say a word for a while. He just looked over her beautiful figure, the way her pelt shimmered under the moonlight. Her gentle yellow eyes looked at his, and he could see a depth of affection and kindness in those eyes. Kindness that he experienced for the first time, disregarding the time his mother cared for him as a kit. So long, he had been a creature of the night. And so long he hadn't had much contact with other cats. So he became a recluse and shy tom, unwilling to be within the company of others.
But now, Petaltail seemed to have penetrated his wall of loneliness and caressed his darkened soul, turning him into a cat longing for a friend.
"I see you are better now,"Coalfur meowed, flicking his tail.

Petaltail smiled gently up at his yellow eyes, he was cat that made you think, she took a quick glance around camp and seen that once again they were alone, which she really didn't mind to much. But looking back at Coalfur she thought how lonely he must be, with everyone asleep, he must not get to talk to many others. "Yes I am feeling much better" She meowed with her angelic voice, so soft, so pure. Petaltail had to admit she was feeling much better now, she had slept all day long, which was good for her, but somehow found herself drawn to the night forcing herself to get up, she was glad she did though. Though, she was still afraid of even thinking of leaving camp, she would just avoid that for right now. "How are you?" She asked curiously.

"Fine,"Coalfur replied curtly. The jet black tom's head was tilted slightly to the side, though it was raised higher, as if he had an air of confidence towards Petaltail. He was still a bit reticent, but something about the way he stood expressed how much more comfortable he is around Petaltail. He even managed a small smile towards her, feeling quite happy just to hear her speak.
His yellow eyes gazed into Petaltail's, an almost hungry yet shy look in his gaze. It was as if he wanted to get to know Petaltail more.
Realizing he had been staring at Petaltail for almost more than a heartbeat, he quickly coughed and averted his gaze, whiskers twitching in slight embarrassment.
"Have you eaten yet?"Coalfur asked quickly, gesturing to the fresh-kill pile with is tail.

Petaltail smiled softly. Coalfur seemed more calm around her now, and that made her happy, she felt safe around him herself. A aura of peacefulness almost always around her. The gentliness filled the air and caused her to relax. Petaltail blinked, her soft yellow eyes could have sworn she even seen him smile in the dark. She laughed gently, he had a nice smile. Petaltail looked at him curiously, was he staring at her? She wondered why, swiftly he looked away though, it was rather embarrassing, she blushed sheepishly under her fur. Petaltail licked her lips and shook her head, "No I haven't" She said, "I've been sleeping for most of the day.. best sleep I have had in a long time" She purred softly.

"Glad you rested well,"he commented, whiskers twitching.
Is that all you can say?he scolded himself, eyes narrowing slightly. Yet no other phrases came to mind.
"Why don't we share a mouse or something,"he offered, turning towards the fresh-kill pile and beckoning her over with the tip of his tail. He padded over to the small pile. Only a mouse and squirrel remained. He knew he ought to find some food now, but he wanted to spend as much time around Petaltail as possible before they have to part ways.
The tom picked up the mouse and dropped it in front of Petaltail.
"You take the first bite,"he mewed politely, standing back.

Petaltail smiled softly, she purred a bit, it had been a very nice sleep for once. She wasn't used to sleeping so much, her nightmares easily keeping her awake at night. But for once she slept, dreamlessly. "Oh a mouse?" She asked, "That sounds lovely" She said gently, she really meant it, mainly because she was hungry and she did like him. Petaltail smiled softly when he brought it back, "Thank you" She said softly taking a small bite for herself. She licked her muzzle tenderly, "That was yummy" She said happily, she smiled at him, letting him know it was his turn to take a bite.
