Fearless

"Yeah, it seems that more cats disagree then agree," she said. Dreampaw was so happy just to be near Flashpaw it didn't matter that they were surrounded by Fireclan.

Firemist snorted. "That's apparent," she said very condescending. "Not that your not likeable." Firemist flushed under her ginger pelt.

OOC: my my...you guys carried on a conversation without me! D'=



IC: Shadowfire kept silent, letting his pale green eyes flick from each cat that began to speak. Slowly, his heart began to sink the more their conversation progressed. Foxcloud. Foxcloud. Foxcloud. His ears twitched with slight frustration. Rage suddenly began to build, until it could no longer be held inside. "ENOUGH!" Shadowfire suddenly yowled, standing boldly to his paws and staring at each cat in turn. The rage vanished, though the tom's unhappiness was still clear. "If you guys-...just because Foxcloud is the way she is, doesn't mean you all can-..." The Fireclan warrior cut himself off twice, leaving both sentences incomplete.

Silently he turned, giving Firemist a "I expected better from you" sort of look before jumping atop the overhanging stone. Its cold was at first a shock to his warm paws, though currently he didn't mind. Shadowfire was still willing to keep an eye out for Foxcloud, but he just didn't want to be down there. With them. You have a reason for everything, right? I know you have another side to you, Foxcloud. You can't be what they say all the way through. You just can't...Shadowfire's mind silently mewed, casting his upset eyes to the sky.




OOC: If you knew, you'd understand why he reacted the way he did. ^^"

Flashpaw ignored Shadowfire and kept nuzzling Dreampaw.

Moonlitice winced. "Shadowfire..."

[Spottedshadow]

Dreampaw pressed closer to Flashpaw. The Fireclan tom was frightening her.

Firemist hung her head. She felt ashamed of her self. How could she be so stupid?

IC: Shadowfire rested his head on those dark brown-red paws. His pale emerald eyes watching the soft white snow fall with its silent patter. Imagining quietly, he pictured the youngest form of Foxcloud he could think of. The kindest form. The pretty young kit that played too rough with the others. The kit that the queens ordered away from their own offspring in fear of them being hurt with her play. Foxkit. Foxkit. Shadowfire's mind hummed off in its own world. Watching once more as the young she-cat sat in the cold rain in the middle of camp. Her sharp yellow eyes set on something in the distance. Something the other cats either cared not to watch, or didn't see, as they raced to shelter. His pale green eyes watched his own young paws padding to the kit's side. Harsh rain slamming their pelts as they pressed up agenst eachother. Both their eyes watching what seemed to be nothing.

Shadowfire wanted Firemist to understand. The pretty she-cat warrior always catching his eye in crowds when there were so many other lush pelts waving about. Her eyes always hooked his, keeping a strong hold at times that even her looking away didn't erase their grip. He wanted Firemist to understand. The Fireclan warrior was attatched to Foxcloud. Not of love. No, that belonged to another. But of a way that it seems the rest of the clan had forgotten. Something the tom mostly thanked they had forgotten. Though deep inside he wished they still remembered.



OOC: Did I get slightly creative in that post? @_@" Havn't posted so deep like that sense Thawpelt! XD

[lakeripple]

Moonlitice padded quietly over and touched Shadowfire with her muzzle. She thought she knew what he was thinking. She too had gotten close to Foxcloud, as a young apprentice, the powerhungry deputy had been her first friend.

[Spottedshadow]

Firemist's grey eyes flicked to stare into space. She was angry. Not with anyone, just herself. She wished she had a better perspective of Foxcloud. Surely she couldn't have been this mean as a kit, or apprentice, but all she knew of the deputy was that she hated Firemist. Foxcloud really seemed like she couldn't stand her, and Firemist didn't know what she'd done to her. "Sorry Shadowfire," she meowed. "I guess I don't have a good perspective of Foxcloud. All I remember as is the deputy she is now." Firemist turned her eyes to Shadowfire as she spoke, her paws seemed to fidget uncomfortably beneath her.

[~*Pikeru]

"What made her change, Firemist?" Shadowfire questioned, pale green orbs still set on the distant falling snow. His mind blending the image before him with his own imagination. Two kits began to play below a crooked tree. Its branches lumpy and uneven. The trunk adorned a horrible scar that twisted and roared into a horrible face.

A small fox red kit sat watching its bared, bark fangs with interest.

"Lets leave, Foxkit. That tree is old. I-it could topple over on you!" a scraps worth of brown-red fur and night black stripes mewed, pawing at the other kit's side gingerly. "Hush, Shadowkit! Just look at it. Can you feel its hatred? Its anger? Frustration?" the she-kit pondered, standing and taking small steps to its roots. Foxkit pounced, clawing her way up its slanted trunk until she stepped across a crooked branch. Its path took her well above Shadowkit. Sharp yellow eyes gazed down into his pale green with pride. "Come down! The tree is too old. It'll break!" Shadowkit called, his worry coming off in waves. Foxkit rolled her eyes, mocking the young tom by copying his words silently with her own jaws.

The memory faded slowly as Shadowfire turned his gaze to Firemist. She seemed tall from his laying position. Snow falling gently and kissing her fur. He would normally find this a beautiful scene; if his mind were not so dark. "Foxcloud was different. She used to see the world with such imagination like myself. I-...I don't know when she changed. It happened so slowly no one noticed until she was the way she was now." The world was silent, his eyes now downcast despite his risen head that still faced the she-warrior.




OOC: A bit of revealing about the history between the two. If you can guess the correct answer, I'll hit you over the head with the a fish and drag you away into a closet! =D

[lakeripple]

Moonlitice closed her eyes quietly, shivering. She had only known this Foxcloud, but she had been kind to her. Her best friend, for a while at least.

Hissing as a snowflake melted in her fur, Moonlitpaw flicked the wet drops off her ears. "Foxcloud," she mewed in a whining voice. "It's cold and wet!" She heard Foxcloud's purr of amusement, and felt indignant at it. "Deal with it!" Foxcloud laughed. Moonlitpaw flicked her tail angrily. "Where are we going in THIS weather?" she said, again in a whiny tone. "You'll see," Foxcloud mewed, turning around and grinning that evil yet laughing grin she had. Then she vanished. "Foxcloud?" Moonlitpaw whispered, running toward where the warrior had vanished. She stepped into a snow-filled clearing. "Whoah!" Moonlitpaw gasped. The snow sparkled in the weak light, like her eyes in the moon. "What is this place?" Foxcloud grinned. "A place you'll most likely never see again, for it is out of territory. The High Hills. Home to rogues and loner alike." Moonlitpaw stared at Foxcloud. "Why are we here?" Foxcloud purred again. "Someday this will be FireClan territory, and you can come here whenever you like. Just be a good little apprentice, and be good for me." Moonlitice nodded eagerly and ran up to nuzzle Foxcloud. The warrior seemed surprised, then lightly licked Moonlitpaw before pushing the apprentice away. "Enough of that. Now, show me how fast you can run!" Moonlitpaw laughed and took off, feeling the wind rustle through her tabby fur, closing her eyes with delight as the snow whipped by.

Moonlitice sighed. "She still has some good in her, she just doesn't seem to show it."

OOC: oh wow u guys RP soooooooo well! =D LOVE THE PLOT! ^^ hm..... relations between Foxkit and Shadowkit.......... uh, siblings? >.< random guess... oh, and yes Pik u're getting really creative and deep. it's awesome. =P

[~*Pikeru]

OOC: uh..... o.o *long pause* . . . . . *shifty eyes* . . . . . *blindfolds and gags Snowstep* I won't answer it, but sense you have history of being a REALLY good guesser, I'm gunna have to introduce you to my closet. <.<"

By the way, Lakeripple, nice job on capturing Foxcloud in your flashback! I could feel the awkwardness when Moonlitpaw nuzzled her. I laughed when I pictured her licking then pushing the apprentice away! XD

Reason I didn't RP in this post: Think I'm waiting for Spotty... >.o"

[Spottedshadow]

Firemist's tail flicked gently. "Do you think there is a way to get that good side out again?" Firemist asked. She only knew Foxcloud as cruel, but the two cats here have experienced her as kind. She didn't want her own memories of Foxcloud to arise again. They would only bring her heartache. "It most be possible to find her kindness. Its' almost like she has a soft core, but she's protected it in a tank of cruelness," Firemist meowed. She used a tank in her metaphor because tanks complete surround the occupants in protective layering of metal. The fire-red she-cat's grey eyes flicked from Moonlitice, and to Shadowfire. She was glad at the two cats the were around her. Her apprentice and her best friend. Where would she be without them? Firemist shuttered at the thought of facing Foxcloud, even though she would have loved to be friends with Foxcloud, and her cruelty alone. "You've helped me see a different side of Foxcloud. I just wish I could have seen that side for myself. Maybe Foxcloud and myself could be great friends."

[Rosefeather]

ooc: Wow, so this is what you guys keep talking about. Heh, too bad I don't have a FireClan cat! lol

OOC: *chokes on the gag and whines behind the closet door, tail dragging on the floor* x3

Shadowfire gave a half-hearted scoff at this. "Like getting a viper to take off the fangs. Foxcloud rarely listens, her mind is set on those plans. Nothing more, nothing less." It was hard picturing that cute kit slowly molding into a dark deputy. Solf eyes turning sharp with hatred and twisted thoughts. Shadowfire gave a small sigh. "Why does it seem that the only way to end all of this, is if Foxcloud. . ." The Fireclan tom bit his tongue. Heart on fire as he finished the sentence only in his head.

[Spottedshadow]

Firemist looked at Shadowfire curiously when he didn't finish his sentence, but she didn't question. "The only difference between a viper and Foxcloud is that a viper can't take off it's fangs. Foxcloud can shed her tough skin," Firemist meowed. She wanted to think that Foxcloud was capable of being kind and helpful, but it was difficult. All she remembered of the deputy was of her cruel side. And those memories were almost unbearable. Firemist didn't like to be hated, she wanted all cats to either like her, love her, or be able to tolerate her. Foxcloud never liked her, loved her, or even tolerated her. Foxcloud hated Firemist, or so that's how it seemed. Firemist began to ponder what it would be like if Foxcloud were kind:

Firemist would pad into the clearing, carrying fresh-kill in her jaw. She would drop it at the pile, and grab three pieces of fresh-kill. One for her, one for Shadowfire, and one for Foxcloud. The three would sit together eating their fresh-kill and sharing tongues. After that Foxcloud would assign Firemist, Shadowfire, and herself to the sunset patrol. They would walk, mark borders, and just talk about all the different things on their minds. As they would head back to camp they would all go to report to Burningstar. Then they would file into the center of the warriors den and curl up all together...

That would be wonderful! Firemist longed to have that kind of friendship with the deputy. She wanted to have that kind of friendship with almost every cat she could. Of course that was impossible, clan rivalries kept that from happening. "I just wish we could all be friends," Firemist sighed, her grey welled up slightly with tears.

[lakeripple]

Moonlitice shook her head. "It doesn't work like that. Foxcloud reached out to me because she sensed I was alone, like she was. She would have loved to mentor me herself, loved to have me for her own, for I idolized her, and she hates you because you took that from her, even though you didn't choose to." Moonlitice vaguely remembered her apprentice days. She had been vain and stuck up, but Foxcloud had seen that she was just lonely and wanted a friend. She had made up for the ignorance Berrypaw presented. She had been Moonlitice's first real friend.
