The Nameless Feline [M]

[Swiftpelt]

~Where am I?~

Birds singing overhead, hidden withn the trees of bright green leaves and a few mice seemed to pay the young little feline no mind. Her kit like paws were gentle, which drew a perk when moving on the forest floor and all the while, feeling lost and out of place. Her light purple eyes seemed dazed with confusion as she aimlessly wandered the large forest in front of her, her slightly large ears twitching ever so slightly in both worry and fear. Her memory had failed her, her past gone and wiped clean. But a feeling of anger was left in her clouded mind, of betral and sorrow. Why? She herself did not know, for all she knew that time was indeed not..on her side.

~Who am I?~

Her light gray pelt was matted in so many ways, that she had even forgotten how to groom herself and left it be. Her ribs were clearly able to see, since she had even forgotten how to hunt and could only rely on other food scorces. Berries that tasted ok, to bits of grass. Even dead rats would do. She could not even catch a fish, though she wouldn't even dare to go near it anyway, due to her fear of water. Her looks were so frail, that you thought she was too frail to even live. But she had more then just mere luck to bring her by. She could climb trees, which surprised her at first but soon became her mark of both life and death. This skill got her by...even avoiding the eyes of the ever watchful forest cats.

~Why am I here?~

She had been watching these forest cats from high above on a tree. Though not many leaves were there to hide her, she made due by keeping silent. She knew not how to keep her scent from being caught. All she knew was to hide and move quietly. Yes, she had learned their names quite well...at least the name MoonClan she came to remeber well. She stopped for a moment, her head raised to the wind before slowly lowering it and continued padding forward again. She was quite good at this hiding thing, but felt so alone and lost withn herself.
She rememebr seeing the small kits, playing near other forest cats. They screamed with a happy tone, play fighting with each other and laughing all day. She sighed silently at this, feeling down and left out. She couldn't even rememebr the last play fight she had.

"Memories...if only I could remember them." Scarlet sighed, pausing in place. One of her front paws were up, mocking that of a hunting dog. "But it would be better if I can rememebr my own name...." She added, her voice clearly marked with depression and lowered her front paw to the ground. Her ears once again twitched abit, catching a sound not far and did the first thing that came to her mind. She bolted to a nearby tree.

~Am...Am I going to die?~

Her minded raced with fear as that something drew closer, her claws unsteathed as she leaped onto the side of the tree and gripped the bark with them. A snarl was soon followed as she was midway to the brach, her claws easly hooked in each climb she took and soon found her mark as she scambled on to it.
Out of the bushes came, a large orange...thing? It's yellow eyes scanned the area and it's jaws wide in a snarl as it looked around. "So much for thinking quietly." Scarlet sighed silently, while watching the fox from above.

Little did she know that a group of cats were just about to leave camp and look for the so called "Loner" and the fox.

((Since you claimed the mission Swifty, one of your moonclan cats will be leading the patrol))

Earthstep paced back and forth in the middle of the clearing, flicking her tail in impatience. The deputy of the Clan had mentioned t here was a loner prowling near their camp border many times. It didn't seem to be a threat yet, but a patrol was to be sent to make sure. The blind she-cat had the misfortune of being chosen and now she was waiting for the leader of the patrol to come by. The brown she-cat let out an impatient hiss as she was forced to wait longer.
Where is that furball?!Earthstep thought bitterly, listening and feeling the earth for the cat's footsteps.

Cloverleaf sat, carefully watching the camp below her. She was waiting for her brother and sister to leave. The last thing she wanted right now was their company. She knew they meant well but it was irritating, the number of times they had tried to get her to speak with other members of the clan was unbelievable. The tree she was sitting in was not one of her favorites. She had quickly scrambled up the tree in hearing her siblings approach.

Cloverleaf's ears flickered towards the entrance and exit to the camp. Russetcloud and Birchflame were leaving for a hunt. Finally.

Cloverleaf gingerly leaped down from her position in the tree. She had been chosen to go find the loner that had been apparently wandering through MoonClan territory. It was getting closer to camp and she was told that they were to make sure there was no threat.

She moved out from the shadows and into the light. She always felt more vulnerable out of the trees, even when they almost always surrounded her. Being in the trees was her favorite place to be. Away from prying eyes. Most cats in the clan ignored her, understanding that she wanted to be left behind, but her brother and sister would always try to drag Cloverlfeaf into the conversation. 'Join in the fun' as they would put it.

Cloverleaf continued walking to the center of the clearing where Earthstep was pacing, obviously irritated. She sat down, pulling her tail around her beige spotted paws. She said nothing, as usual, to the pacing warrior and just watched with mild curiosity at the she-cat

[Swiftpelt]

With all the chatter about the an unknown loner, it was a bit hard to say that a loner could cause so much trouble for his clan. Rainstorm had just finished talking with the deputy with his lime green eyes in a slight daze, his whiskers twitching abit at the sight of his patrol and let out a sigh. As a young warrior of his clan, The light brown tom had very little respect when around his clanmates and senior warriors. But that never bothered him before, not like today anyway. Today was his turn to lead the patrol, which in some cases was more of a scout out the area routine. His ears flicked back as he approched the small group of cats, noting that he still needed one more cat to join before setting out to find this loner and why it was so close to home.


Flicking his white tipped tail, he stopped near Cloverleaf's side and watched Earthstep pacing back and forth with an amused smile on his face. "Greetings Cloverleaf and Earthstep." He spoke, his voice sounding calm and at ease. "Sorry I'm late. The deputy needed to brief me on the problem before we set out." Rainstorm glanced at Cloverleaf before nodding with a wave of his tail. It was quite a while since he and Bluepelt been together, since their was mosty fighting between them behind who was right. So because of those fights, the light brown tom grew quite apart from the blue she-cat and worried only for himself. And my clan. He added in his mind before speaking again, this time in a firm tone.

"We will wait until the final warrior arrives before we begin the patrol. Earthstep. When we do leave, would you mind sharing your wisdom with me?" Rainstorm finished, smiling a bit as he waited beside Cloverleaf.

"Oh...it's you," Earthstep muttered feeling the earth rumble underneath her pads as Clovertail approached. The blind she-cat's tone sounded somewhat disappointed yet not hostile. She didnt know Clovertail as well as the other cats in the clan. Although she knew the she-cat wasnt exactly very social. But earthstep had nothing against that since clovertail was one of the few that didnt treat her like a helpless blind cat, something the Earthstep apprerciatedThe brown she-cat contiued to pace, lashing her tail as her patience for Rainstorm to arrive was slowly dimming. The tom's voice suddenly coming up from behind made Earthstep jump. She had been so busy in her thoughts that she hadn't paid attention until Rainstorm spoke and his scent washed over here senses.

"About time," Earthstep growled,glaring at Rainstorm with her sightless pale eyes. "Any longer and i would've just gone on without you..." she muttered.
