Friend or foe?

[kura]

Kura stared around the forest in awe, it was beutiful. She had seen many forests in her liftime but this one, it was amazing. She pelted threw the forest, weaving threw the trees, her paws flying over the floor. If it were possible she would think she were flying. But her run came to an end all to soon, she slowed ot a walk her lungs burning as she finally stopped walking all together, she streached out on the forest floor, taking in the fresh air around her. Once she would have scorned this kind of life, living in the wild, catching her own food. But no that she had to live this kind of life, she realized how much she was missing.
After a cuple more deep breaths she rasied to her paws as continued forward more slowly, she had to remember ot be cautious, she was in the woods, anything could happen now.

[ilovewarriors]

The hunting patrol had just scattered off to different directions and she was assigned this section of the forest. Moonpelt took a big whiff of air, scenting for any prey lurking beneath bushes or burrows. Something caught her attention as a new and unfamiliar scent was mingled with the scent of the evergreens. Slowly, with her ears alert for any signs of danger, she crept slowly towards the new scent. As she was getting closer, she could see a she-cat walking cautiously now and then. What is a rogue doing in the middle of SkyClan, she hissed to herself. Without hesitation, Moonpelt leaped herself off the ground and landed on the she-cat. "Who are you and what are you doing in SkyClan territory?" she hissed.

[kura]

Kurapelt let out a shocked meow as something crashed down on her, pinning her to the ground. She glared up at her affender, only to find herself staring at a she-cat no bigger then her. She squarmed out from under the cat, shaking leaves from her fur. She glanced curiously at the forest she-cat, she had heard many tale of forest cats, that they were visious and cruel and even killed there own young somethimes. But Kurapelt had never belived them and as she stood here staring at the forest cat, she knew she was right. This cat was no different then her, yes she lived in a forest and she herself had once lived with a human, but now they were alike because now she to live in the wild. She sniffed the air taking in the other cats sent. "I did'nt mean to intrude...I was just walking threw.." she explained. She knew she should leave but couiousity chewed at her. She gave into it.
"So whats it like? you know to live in the wild? Is it cool? or kinda easy?" the questions blured out of her mouth so fast she could'nt stop them. "Sorry I did'nt mean to babble, any way my names Kurapelt, whats yours?"

[ilovewarriors]

OCC: Ok, finally finished!

IC: Scrambling up to her paws, Moonpelt glared at the she-cat and debated wheter she should attack the newcomer again. Comtemplating that the she-cat had no fighting experience before as she had not fought back when she leaped at her, she decided to let it go. As well, hearing the uncertained voice from her, soften her hostility. Although she knew it was against the Warrior Code, she decided, it wouldn't do any harm just to talk to a rogue right? As well, the way Kurapelt was asking questions, made her sound like a kit curious about the wildlife and couldn't stop to think about her response that she was going to blurt out. "I'm Moonpelt. Not at all, it's great here, especially with the great weather, it makes living conditions better for the clans."

[kura]

OOC: lol, opps sorry^^

IC: Kurapelt purred with amusement at the forest-cats glare, she sat back on her haunches raising a paw to lick before she swiped it over her face. "Clans? sounds cool, really cool....but what do you eat? mice? You know I caught one just yestardy, it was great," she meowed puffing out her chest proudly. She grinned widely at Moonpelt, not seeming to notice she was rambling she went on. "Can I see your clan? how many are there? or is there just one clan?"
Her eye's were wide with curiousity, her ears perked, and her tail twitched excitingly. She had'nt yet adapted to life as a stray, catching her own food, sleeping under bushes and in abandoned rabbit holes. But she liked it, now she only had to depend on herself, no one but herself. Was clan life more intresting?

[ilovewarriors]

OOC: Ok, great!!

IC: Just as she felt friendly towards her, a mix emotion of anger wept through her again. She narrowed her eyes, as if the newcomer had offended her, as well as her clan. "Yes, we do eat mice, as well rabbits and and ANY other living animals " she emphasized, wanting her to sound envious. "As well, rogues are NOT suppose to hunt in ANY clan territory. If you've been caught by other clan patrols, you'll be clawed by now." Then she carried on, "And....what makes you think that I'll tell you all about this? I've never known you and how would I suppose to know that you're not working for some other enemy of ours, trying to find some potential weakness from our clans." She announced.

[kura]

Kurapelt waited untill Moonpwlt had finished before she defended herself. "Pfft! Why would I do something like that! I'm to honest of a cat to lie or cheat for anything. If I were realy so sort of spy beilive me you would already know about.... and any way, I did'nt eat anything off of your territory, to be honest I hav'nt eaten since...." Kurapelt trailed off as she thought hard about the last time she ate. But she could'nt remember that far back, "well to be honest I don't remember whens the last time I ate, everything past yesterday is really blury..."
Kurepelt shruged forgeting that she could'nt remember, she brightened imideatly. She pranced happily around Moonpelt, "could I join your clan? or do you not let in strangers? I'm really nice, but you don't have to do let me join if you don't want to, I'm cool if I'm all alone for the rest of my days. It's easyer to feed only one mouth. But i bet it is very exciting to wake up and have so many friends........you do have a lot of friends right?" Again she was rambling, her tail curling in delight, her ears perked excitingly. She stopped prancing around Moonpelt so she could stand infront of her, her pelt prickling with embarressment as she noticed she was rambling again.
She shuffled her paws sheepishly, "sorry...I was rambling again.." she meowed quietly.

OOC: im COMING IN!!! =P lol *barges in without knocking*


IC: Emberfrost finished checking the borders and looked around. He was leading the patrol, but wanted to stay a little longer to hunt. When he sent the rest of the patrol back, however, he noticed there was a cat missing... Moonpelt wasn't around. He frowned to himself then decided to track her down. that would be interesting he thought to himself and snickered, following the she-cat's scent back to where they came from.

He was getting close when another scent suddenly overcame him. a sweet scent, not of any clan, was mixed with Moonpelt's. He wondered who it could be; it didn't smell like any usual rogue's stench of crowfood. Emberfrost slid into a nearby bush and caught sight of the two she-cats. He grinned to himself; this might make his day worth-while.

No point in waiting any longer. what's the joy in watching? The frost-coloured tom smoothly got up and sauntered out of the bush, the bright amber streaks across his white pelt shone like the sunset. He purposefully went over to the new, mysterious she-cat, his eyes glinting with interest. "I don't believe we've met" he meowed, his voice low. "Who might this be, Moonpelt?" although he addressed his clanmate, the tom kept his ember eyes on Kura.

[kura]

Kurapelt stared at the tom as he appeared form the bushes her tail twitched couriously. She keep her eye's directed on him as he padded over to her, his gaze never leaving hers. She rose a brow at his intrested gaze, her eyes reflecting his couriousity. She rose to her paws, taking a few steps back from him and toward Moonpelt, "I can speak for myself you know, names Kurapelt" she meowed iritation laced in her tone.
she smiled then bowing her head low with mock politness, "and who might you be?" she asked.

[ilovewarriors]

Moonpelt was about to retort back, but held her tongue. Then another feeling urge through her. A feeling of sympathy. She couldn't help but feel guilty about what she had said a few minutes ago, throwing out all her anger on the she-cat, who had no connections in her daily lifestyle. Looking down on the hard gravel, with slight embarrassment about her mistaken accusation and she finally felt relieved as the conversation about the 'spy' thing was over. But as Kurapelt had enthusiastically changed the topic again, she held her head up and looked at the newcommer with curiousity. Over their few minutes of conversation, Kurapelt had not felt discourage by her harsh tongue and she was still able to keep the 'happy spirit' around her.
Moonpelt knew that what she had said was no excuse and wanted to do something for herself to be forgiven. A thought pang through her mind and she was about to offer when Emberfrost leaped from behind the bushes, which indeed, had startled her. Panic arose her, How long has he been here? What will he do about Kurapelt? Questions bombarded her mind, and she was dumbfounded. Unable to speak to introduce her new friend, she stared at him.

[~*Snowstep]

The frosty white tom was amazed that the newcomer showed no fear, or even shyness towards his sudden appearance. "Nice to meet you Kurapelt. I'm Emberfrost." he gave her a lopsided grin, showing a fang. her attitude was an interesting change from all the other she-cats in the clan. he liked that.
He looked over at Moonpelt, who just stood there, staring. "I didn't know you had such an interesting friend." he joked, wanting an answer of why a stray came onto their territory.

[kura]

Kurapelt turned away from Emberfrost her head held high, she had never liked toms, so stuck up and untrustworthy, well thats what she thought any way. She turned to Moonpelt wondering how the white she-cat would respond to Emberfrost's question. 'Will she regard me as her friend? or will she turn on me?' She shoik her head, if they decided to run her off they had ever right, it was there territory after all. She would understand.

[ilovewarriors]

Moonpelt blinked as Emberfrost looked at her with curiosity and then turn her head to look at Kurapelt. Pausing to gaze at her for a few heartbeats to wonder what she was thinking, she turned her gaze back to Emberfrosts'. "Yeah...." she hesitated, waving her tail nevously. "I'd just met her recently as she was passing our territory. She's interesting alright." Then she paused, wondering if she should carry on. "Well, you see...we were just talking about the 5 clans." She shrugged, "I just thought it seemed like a good idea, since she was eager to join us, especially with her enthusiasm, I couldn't help but tell." Was it true? Was she patient enough to tell her all this? She sighed, regretting her decision on telling Emberfrost about the last part she had just said.

[~*Snowstep]

"Oh really now?" Emberfrost sat down comfortably as Kurapelt turned away from him to stay beside Moonpelt. "So I'm guessing we might have a new clanmate then, huh Moonpelt?" he purred, his eyes glinted with even more interest than before, still watching Kurapelt. "Continue with your discussion." He nodded to the white she-cat. "I'm all for this." He mumbled and smiled to himself.

[kura]

Kurapelt felt relief swell in her when Moonpelt accepted her, she had a friend, or at least she hoped. She watched the to forest cats converse, like a battle of wits or something. She smiled over at Moonpelt, sitting more comfortably as she waited to be told of the five clans. But her smile turned to a frown as she glared in Emberfrost's direction. That tom made her uneasy, and she didn't like that. To be honest, all toms made her uneasy. She turned her gaze away from him once more, smiling over at Moonpelt. "So your really gonna tell me! oh this is soooo cool!" she meowed.

As the three cats meowed to each other on the forest ground, piercing yellow eyes watched them from the trees. A large gray tom sat perched in a towering oak tree, he had been watching the three ever since he had followed Emberfrost here. A smirk played across his muzzle, his gaze traveling to the rogue. How odd, usually Emberfrost was good with the she-cats. 'He must be losing his touch....'

[~*Snowstep]

OOC: waiting for ilovewarriors to post, but anyways, who's this mysterious cat? =O

[ilovewarriors]

DUN DUN DUN!!!!!

Smiling for the first time-or she thought it was- to Kurapelt. as if she was replying to her. A new kind of emotion wept through her as all her black thoughts vanished. This time, she could start a conversation to her new friend without any hestitaion or doubts. But just as she was about to start, her eyes flickered towards Emberfrost. It was the way that he looked at the newcomer, with some kind of emotion that she couldn't quite understand. However, she quickly push the thought away and turn her full attention to Kurapelt to explain about the 5 clans. Her enthusiasm acted like she was a squealing kit and she smiled as the thoughts drifted to herself when she was a kit. "Well," she started, sitting comfortably with the other two cats. "In total, the forest has 5 clans; Fire, Earth, Water, Sky and Lightning. Together, we all believe in Starclan, a clan where all are ancestors are, who would aid the leaders and medicine cats with clan and I assume, personal problems." With one eye, she looked at Kurapelt and with the other, she looked at Emberfrost with slight interest; wondering what he was thinking about.

[kura]

OOC: the mysterious cat is Graysky hahaha^^ he's spying on every one.

IC: Kurapelt waited patently until Moonpelt had finished explaining before she jumped to her paws, unable to keep her excitement to herself. "It must be so cool! talking to spirits and stuff! So what clan are you two from? I could try and guess, oh can I guess?" she asked excitingly as she lowered herself in a playful manner. Her tail swished around her playfully and her ears twitched with her excitement.

Up in the tree the gray tom almost laughed out loud with his mirth, who amusing the rogue was. Her turned his gaze to his Emberfrost and Moonpelt, should he reveal himself? Or should he sit here to watch the entertainment from a more amusing distance. He stood gracefully to his paws, taking a few steps forward. His paw slipped on the bark causing a piece to go falling to the ground near the three cats. He froze, his gaze on the three cats. Had they noticed him?

[ilovewarriors]

"Not really" she replied boyauntly. "I can't talk to spirits, only the clan leaders and medicine cats can. Oh, Emberfrost and I are from SkyClan and....." she trailed off as a piece of bark fell from behind Kurapelt. She stopped, and wondered if just maybe that she was dreaming and seeing things. Tilting her head to the side, she tore her gaze from the bark which now laid on the grass and looked into Kurapelt with confusion. "Yeah" she carried on, "so...where was I again?"

[~*Snowstep]

Emberfrost chuckled to himself as Kurapelt suddenly became all excited after learning about the clans. it was interesting how her attitude could change so much so fast. he found her so much different than all the other she-cats in his clan. so much more... appealing and... fun?

The frost-white tom was going to say something when the bark fell. He wasn't going to pay attention to it at first, but then he noticed that the piece was well over the size a squirrel could have made fall. Emberfrost's eyes narrowed, and he opened his jaws slightly to take in the scent. indeed, there wasn't any sign of squirrel. instead, it was flooded with cat.

Like lightning, he dashed up the tree that Graysky was in, after pinpointing the tom's scent. It wasn't hard to climb up there, for in his apprentice training he was taught to climb the highest of trees, and was known as the clan's best climber, though he didn't use his skill much. Emberfrost came up right behind the grey tomcat, his eyes still narrowed but had an amused glint in them. "i see u've been watching a show" he growled playfully to his clanmate.
