Beneath this tough exterior,
is someone just begging
to be loved. |Foxfur| NightClan+Deputy+Tom+Mentor+In Love+Tough&Independant You are my love, ____________________________________________________________________________________________ [Squaring my shoulders, I looked down at the two apprentices, both scampering around, full of life. I got caught up in the memories of my apprentice days and smiled. I was so antisocial, only Willowheart wanted to be around me. We'd spend endless days trying to climb trees and jump over logs, each trying to beat the other. We were extremely competetive, and still are. Every time we went out hunting together, she'd find some way to catch everything, then scare all the prey away from me. Oh yes, we cheated. As Eaglesoar spoke, I got snapped back into reality and blinked, amber eyes warm. Looking over at the ginger warrior, I nodded, then turned, ready to go] "Oh, okay. Alright, let's go." [Trotting out into the territory, I quickly noted knew growth amoung the tree trunks. This lightened my heart. Newleaf was here] _____________________________________________________________________________________________ You are my life. So peel away my layers,
to find a gentle interior,
one only for you. |Shadowpaw| NightClan Apprentice|Tom|Cold&Snarky Can I help you with something? __________________________________________________________________________ [I puffed out my small chest, her compliments going straight to my ego. But, you couldn't really blame me. Those were the first compliments I had ever gotten. Tail waving, head held high, I quickly trotted after my mentor, squirrel hanging from my jaws. I listened closely to her words, but didn't bother answering. I wasn't one for words. As the ground became wetter, my paws began to sink down and I grimaced in disgust. Yuck. Shaking off my paws, I looked up and ran after Puresun, trying to not get swallowed up by the marshy ground. I watched my mentor, trying to imitate the way she walked, so at ease, avoiding the wet spots like a pro. I, on the other paw, seemed to be stepping in all of them. Maybe Clan-born cats were born with some special gene that let them walk easily over wet, spongy ground. Was I doomed to be not as good as my Clanmates because of my half-Clan heritage? Scowling, I glared down at the ground, nearly bumping into Puresun as she slowed down to talk to me. Looking up, my golden eyes followed her as she disappeared into the braken. I stayed silent for a few moments, wanting to listen for her footsteps, a swish of fur against the twigs, a sign of where she was walking. Laying down my catch in a hole by a tree, I drew some leaves over it with one paw and looked around. How in the name of StarClan was I supposed to mask my scent? I stood there, completely dumbfounded. I had never learned this before. Did the other apprentices just automatically know how to do certain things? Huffing, I spotted some damp looking ferns that were giving off a pretty forest-y smell and padded over them, trying hard to not make a loud squish. Arriving at the ferns, I sighed and quietly toppled over, rolling around in the leafy plants. Maybe this would mask my scent. They were only a little damp, so my coat stayed realitivly dry. Hoping I was now unsmellable, I sank down onto my haunches and padded forward, making sure to keep in the shadows, as Puresun had mentioned. Ducking into a bush, I poked my head out of the other side and spotted nothing. Scrambling out of the bush, I silently trotted towards the scent of Puresun, trying to follow the path she took. After a few moments, I swerved around a tree and spotted the tip of her tail, just rounding a bush. Narrowing my eyes, I reminded myself to not rush forward, and slowly creeped up on her, sticking to the dark. As I neared the she-warrior, I crouched down, trying to make sure I actually landed somewhat close to her. Creeping forward, I gave it all I had and pushed off the ground, only to realize I had stepped in a marshy patch. That didn't really go over well. I promptly tipped to the side and crashed to the ground, letting out a yelp of surprise. Scrambling to my paws, I trained my golden eyes on the ground, not willing to look at Puresun, ears flat to my head with embarrassment] "Sorry..I..sorry." [Flinching slightly, I refused to look up, frowning at the ground] ___________________________________________________________________________ Didn't think so.

[ Busy. -_e" ] 
~ S O N G P A W ~ A good warrior....
[ Songpaw jumped at the word- warrior. That was right, she had forgotten that she wasn't a kit anymore. And she would be a warrior, but not too soon. She started to pause to think about it. ]
What will I do when I'm a warrior? When do I get an apprentice?
[ Songpaw nodded her head and spoke softly so no one could from afar could overhear her. ]
" Yeah, I'm glad I'm going to be a warrior.
But.. But..
What if I'm not me anymore... I don't want to grow up too soon.."
Is ready for ANYTHING.

[My eyes snapped open scaredly. I hissed. The pieces....they were falling slowly into place. That part...it hadn't been a dream! No, it couldn't have been! I spat a few curses, standing up quickly. My eyes quickly snapped down to my paw. I nosed around for a moment before finally finding the evidence: Bite marks. Rabbitpaw looked over boredly. "Finally deciding to leave?" he asked.
I growled. "No one asked you. And yes, I am leaving!" I meowed distractedly, padding quickly out of the den. My crooked tail flicked nervously. The things that Foxfur must have thought when I had said that I didn't remember! I let out a moan of frustration. I was such a bad friend! My claws tore absentmindedly at the ground underpaw as I tried to decide on what to do. My mind was blank though. I had never had to fix something like this before! I could always tell him that I remembered.....no! That would seem weird! I could always just not mention it though...he was a good friend, and it would suck to lose him. But then I would seem uncaring!
I dashed back to the medicine cat den, skidding to a halt in front of Rabbitpaw. "You! I need help!" I meowed briskly. Rabbitpaw blinked in confusion before smiling slightly. "You got bit again? You should really start staying away from those snake-"
"That's not it, mousebrain! And don't make fun of me!" I spat furiously, swiping a paw at the tom. I sighed, closing my eyes for a moment. "It seems as if the circumstances of three nights before brought me to saying a few things on accident," I meowed.
Rabbitpaw looked at Mudnose for a moment with the same bored expression from before. "So?" he asked. His eyes travelled down to his paw for a moment. He growled slightly with obvious discomfort. "When's Hauntedheart going to get back with those poppy seeds?" he murmured angrily to himself.
I sighed irritatedly. "Isn't it obvious? I came here for your help! I don't know what to do!" I meowed through clenched teeth. This tom was a real dunce!
Rabbitpaw blinked, staring at her as if he were going to refuse. After a few moments though, a sigh drifted from him, and his gaze softened tiredly. "You said...?"
I hesitated for a moment, shuffling my paws. I was silent for a few minutes before I decided to speak. "I told Foxfur that I loved him..." I whispered hoarsely. This seemed to suprise the tom for a moment. I could have sworn that I had almost seen sadness in his eyes for a heartbeat. He was smiling slightly though.
Rabbitpaw laughed almost dryily, grinning somewhat darkly. "Because you thought you were going to die, I suppose? You shouldn't be so melodramatic. It isn't like you," he sighed, a dark expression crossing his face for a moment.
I blinked in suprise. That expression. It creeped me out. And what did he mean? I spat defiantly. "I said it because I was delirious! And what do you, a mere kit, know about me! I don't even talk to you!" [I growled angrily. Remind me why I came to you of all cats for this? I thought wearily. Rabbitpaw chucked for a moment, and I let out an angered snort.] "Don't be so smug, mixed-breed!"[ I spat.
Rabbitpaw froze, his ears flattening defensively. That word....it struck an ugly note in his chest. It always had. Did that mean...?!] "Shut up, shut up, shut up! What my father was, was not my choice!" [He yowled panickedly. The claws in his good paw dug vainly into the ground underpaw, and his eyes snapped shut. It's not my fault! It's not my fault! he thought terrifiedly.
Mudnose blinked in confusion for a moment, staring warily at the apprentice.] "No idea what you're talking about, but whatever. Chill, little one," [I meowed. What had I said? I sighed slightly, padding out of the den. This had been a worthless talk.] `•.¸¸.••´´¯``•• .¸¸.•´ `•.¸¸.••´´¯```•.¸¸.••´´ ☾XXBUT ALL I'VE EVER LEARNED FROM L O V EXX ☽☾XX W A S HOW TO SHOOT SOMEBODY WHO OUTDREW YOUXX ☽☾XXIT'S NOT A CRY T H A T YOU HEAR AT NIGHTXX☽ ☾XXI T ' S NOT SOMEBODY WHO'S SEEN THE L I G H TXX☽☾XXI T ' S A COLD AND I T ' S A BROKEN H A L L E L U J A HXX☽

Despite how much love I've shown
and the comfort in your eyes I've known...  ❁ Puresun ❁If you die, I'm all alone
despite the souls that fill my home
o o o
The only thing I need is you
but if I tell, what will you do?
I cannot help you
I will not leave you
You cannot hear me
You will not love...═══════════════════════
[I padded cheerfully through the marsh, trying to stay oblivious. True, I had no idea where Shadowpaw was as his scent was hidden, and it was likely he was going to jump from the bushes at any moment, but I was actually enjoying the scenery.
It had been a while since I'd left camp without doing something sneaky behind my clanmate's backs. It made me feel guilty and relieved at the same time!
But, after all that I had sinned...how could I trust myself? I couldn't keep a secret. I'd heard stories of warriors of old who buried their secrets down, only to have their dark sins return with a vengeance to reap revenge for their transgression.
What kind of life could I live, worrying that someone would figure out that I had really had kittens?
I let out a troubled sigh. I didn't want my clanmates knowing my sin from someone else, nor did I want them to find out when they joined me in StarClan.
Truth was revealed in StarClan, if nowhere else, but I didn't want it to be like that. I wanted to be truthful while living, to have no secrets!
So, what then? Was I going to confess?
Confess. That was...an unhappy word. A very unhappy word. But...
...but it was so right, so...fulfilling. I felt like I was living the life of a traitor. I knew that if I didn't confess, I would never enjoy life out of guilt for what I had done.
So I would confess. To loving a rogue, to having kits to his evil twin brother, and to hiding it all from my Clan.
I could be banished, or worse- killed! But...maybe...just maybe the Clan cats would appreciate someone telling the truth for once.
So now that I'd decided to confess, it was a matter of how to explain it and when. I wanted to tell them all myself, meaning I'd need a Clan meeting...so who would I have to tell first?
My mother!
Oh, that was something I was not looking forward to. Not at all, not at all! The look on her face-!
But it had to be done. It had to. The kittens were long gone- and maybe Forsaken would be too. My heart twisted at the thought, but at least I wouldn't be lying when I said both kittens and love were far away...
So I would confess. Today, maybe-! Oh, my heart was beating so roughly in my chest, and fear sliced through my belly and flew up my neck into my throat, filling my mouth with sour, sour anxiety...
Oh, but it had to be done because I was a stupid little kitten who fell in love with a demon!
My thoughts were promptly interrupted by a lithe shape crashing into the swamp. I jumped a bit, terribly startled, before realizing it was my apprentice.
All at once, I remembered where I was and what I was supposed to be doing. I blinked and then chuckled softly, a distant look in my eye.
"Don't worry, it's fine," I murmured absentmindedly. "Once you master your territory, you'll be well able to counterattack invaders. It's a good skill to have. Once more, and this time try not to pounce- sneak as close to me as you can get before attacking. Strike like a snake."
With that, I padded off again, thoughts diving once more into deep worry.
What was I going to do now...?═══════════════════════ ...six of sin with you now roam
will you guide them to their home?
I can only pray you do
before I confess it all.
Let me keep one thing near;
the heart that bonds us, my dear
o o o
For if I sleep at end of day
I find your shadow fades away ...I cannot sleep in fear of how
the darkness holds two shadows now.

[I padded upbeatly to a corner of the camp, plopping down. My body rolled, until my belly was facing the sky. I stared troubledly at a fruit fly that was buzzing a tail length above my face. What was I going to do? It wasn't like I would be able to converse with Foxfur nonchalantly about the matter now, after how I had acted! It would be downright cruel!]
[A dark tabby paw brought the black, fat fruit fly buzzing above my head down a mouse length from my head. An audible crunch made my ears flatten. I spat in disgust.] "Please don't kill bugs so close to me, you'll get guts on my fur," [I growled, my eyes resting, to my suprise, on a gruffy brown tabby. My eyes rested on the scar that ran his jawline, stretched oddly because a dark grin had made its home on the tom's face. I smirked.] "Not quite how I imagined a tom who just had a 'batty' episode in the medicine cat den, would look right now," [I laughed.]
Rabbitpaw shook his head slightly, sitting down. "Don't let flies buzz around you like that. It makes you look like 'something you'd find on a thinderpath' as the elders put it," [he meowed.
I glared, batting at the tom's face with one paw.] "With the look you had on your face previously, you looked like something frighting, that only twolegs would dream up," [I retorted.]
"Laying like that adds to the effect," [I scowled, rolling back onto my belly. I quietly stalked off, my tail lashing out behind me. What nerve! I spat in disgust, shaking my head. What was with him?!] `•.¸¸.••´´¯``•• .¸¸.•´ `•.¸¸.••´´¯```•.¸¸.••´´ ☾XXBUT ALL I'VE EVER LEARNED FROM L O V EXX ☽☾XX W A S HOW TO SHOOT SOMEBODY WHO OUTDREW YOUXX ☽☾XXIT'S NOT A CRY T H A T YOU HEAR AT NIGHTXX☽ ☾XXI T ' S NOT SOMEBODY WHO'S SEEN THE L I G H TXX☽☾XXI T ' S A COLD AND I T ' S A BROKEN H A L L E L U J A HXX☽

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬ ▬▬▬ As Puresun immersed herself deep in her thoughts, not too far away from her a lithe, jet black shape was watching. One single amber eye gazed unblinkingly at the small she-cat, while the other side of his face was hidden. Slowly, he raised one paw and stepped forwards, letting the shadows engulf and hide him. This was the Dead Cat's Hollow, and the swamps were his home. He knew all the holes, all the hiding spots in tree roots, as well as where the best prey were. After all, he had lived here since kithood, with no one to depend on but himself. Him, born a Nightclanner but shunned from his clan, forced to live as a rogue in the Dead Cat's Hollow. He had made use of it though, scaring passer by's from his territory and earning a name for himself as the "Phantom" of Dead Cat's Hollow.
As his amber orbs fixed onto Puresun, strangely enough he felt no urge to scare her away from his territory with sounds of a ghostly cat wailing, like what he would have done to others. She, for some reason...intrigued him. She was different.
As he turned to head away, the side of his face that was hidden in the shadows suddenly caught the sunlight, revealing half a face with snow-white fur...as well as two disfiguring scars that ran down his face. His tail flicked as he seemed to melt into the shadows, as if this cat never existed. Right before he vanished, one single word echoed in Puresun's mind, in a soft and melodic voice.
"Puresun..." ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬ ▬▬▬

[I yawned and padded out of the warriors den. Had I slept in? I shook my head, no, I couldn't have. That was not what a good warrior should do. Unless they're sick. I sighed and looked around. I wasn't sick, so I needed to make myself busy. I smiled and padded up to Songpaw and Marblepaw.] "Would you kitties like to come hunting with me?" [I asked softly, my big, fluffy tail swishing back and forth.] "Of couse, we'd need your mentor's permission first. But I was planning on hunting. And you two looked like you need to get out of camp" [I said and sat down, resting my blue eyes on the two she-cats]

[Lost in my thoughts, I wandered silently, forgetting again that my apprentice was probably stalking me, waiting for the right moment to strike.
But how could I concentrate on anything when...
I was all about drama, wasn't I? It was all about me. I couldn't have just fallen in love with someone in the Clan, right...?!
I sighed in frustration, amber eyes glittering with conflicting emotions. Then I felt a peace come about me. I was going to confess, wasn't I? It was all going to depend on that, so right now there wasn't anything I could to do change it...might as well be as happy as I can before the final verdict befell me.
A satisfied purr rose in my throat. I had risen above the sinners of old- I was going to do something about my sin, seeking redemption! And in the eyes of StarClan, maybe I could be pure once again because I had the strength and courage to do so...
I nodded determinedly, feeling a great weight lift from me. Now I had to focus on when my apprentice was going to strike!
So I tried to- scoping out the marsh, listening to the sounds. Then I realized there were no sounds. I slowed to a stop and looked around me, blinking with clear eyes.
Again, in my concentration, I had wandered farther than I intended-it seemed I was in Dead Cat's Hollow.
Unperturbed, I muttered to myself and sniffed the air curiously. A phantom was rumored to haunt this land...I doubted I could afford to associate myself with another demon, but my curiosity overwrote my caution and I padded forward fearlessly, just like I had when I had met Forsaken so many moons ago.
I sniffed the air again, narrowing my eyes. I did sense someone here...they were in the shadows. It wasn't a good place to hide from a cat like me- I'd become a master at seeing through shadow, somehow. It was a good trait to have...but if only it outdid my flaws!
Through the shadows I saw a figure, looming and melting into the shadows just like Forsaken did. Except for one thing- a patch of white seemed to glow from the darkness, even when blanketed in shadow. It was a crystal eye that squinted as if in pain...an unseeing eye? I couldn't tell...was I hallucinating...?
Almost as soon as I spotted it, it began to retreat into the shadows. My folded ears twitched as I raised my head, tail stiffening in aggression. A trespasser! So I wasn't dreaming! I narrowed my eyes, uncertain of what to do with the creature, but it was almost too fast- before I could blink, it was gone, but a word rang out from the shadows in a soothing melody.
Puresun.
My name...? How in StarClan's name did it know my name?
So there was something afoot. I swiftly trotted to the place I had spotted the figure, but it was deserted. However, I had lived in NightClan long enough to be able to track something even through the marsh- almost every full grown warrior could- and I bent down, sniffing the reeds.
It was a strange musky scent- tom. He had definitely been here. Lashing my tail, I wondered if I should tell my mother about this.
Oh, mother, I just thought you should know that I had an affair with a rogue demon and gave birth to his evil twin demon brother's children and hid it all from you. By the way, there's a trespasser in Dead Cat's Hollow who magically knows my name.
Somehow, I thought it would be inappropriate to mention this at a time like that...
But it wouldn't hurt to gather as much as I could about this stranger. I could tell Foxfur about smelling a strange scent around here at least.
I padded around the hollow, being careful to avoid the holes that could lead to unstable tunnels. I sniffed her and there and was disturbed to find the place reeking of the stranger's scent. At least, the marsh hid most of it, but a scent that was strong enough to be smelled in a marsh meant someone had been there either recently or for a long time. And, after sampling the smell some more, I found the latter to be true.
I huffed, scanning the place with wide eyes. Adventure beat in my heart again, and I felt like a kitten. How now! I had often visited this place as a kitten (of course not wandering into the holes...that was just suicide, really), and it was my favorite getaway from bothersome Clan drama, either internal or external (involving Forsaken). It was a good place to clear my head...
Course, if other cats heard that I liked to go to Dead Cat's Hollow to relax and unwind, they'd think me to be insane.
But maybe I was.
I recalled scuttling here as a kitten, sneaking among the reeds so that the Phantom wouldn't find me, yet hoping to meet him one day...
I chuckled, a warm feeling of nostalgia flowing through me, and sat down in the reeds, twitching my whiskers as I surveyed the scene with remembrance.
Then a thought struck me- could that stranger be the Phantom? It couldn't be! I had never scented him before...but that was before I knew how to track in the marshy swamp, and it had been a few moons since I'd re-visited the place.
I closed my eyes and tried to remember what I smelled - the wet marsh, the stale dens and scents of beasts, and...something musky...
My eyes shot open. This stranger had been there since my childhood!
Now I was really interested. I looked around in wonder, head whirling. He couldn't possibly be the phantom...could he?!
"Who are you?" I murmured in awe, the thought of someone staying hidden in NightClan for so long baffling me completely.
How could a stranger have hidden himself so successfully within NightClan territory? Someone had to know about him!
I resolved to ask around about the legend of the Phantom and see if anyone knew anything about him. Because I had to come to terms with it- it was impossible for an intruder to live secretly in NightClan without anyone knowing. Either NightClan had secrets of its own, or the Phantom was real!═══════════════════════ ...six of sin with you now roam
will you guide them to their home?
I can only pray you do
before I confess it all.
Let me keep one thing near;
the heart that bonds us, my dear

I literally LOLED at that XD (( Bwaha, it's true though. ;D Should add "and has been there since my childhood, might wanna take care of that too." ouo Puresun tells it how it is! :0 ))

YOU'LL LEARN TO SEE TO FIND THE MAN BEHIND THE MONSTER
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬ ▬▬▬ The mysterious Phantom of Dead Cat's Hollow paused in his tracks, pricking his ears as he heard someone's pawsteps darting nimbly from branch to branch. No one has ever done that before...most cats were too scared of Dead Cat's Hollow to come close, and those who did, he had hidden away from them skillfully. Puresun, however, was different. She had no fear, and it was this trait that the Phantom found interesting. As such, she was the first cat he had reached his mind to, speaking directly to her into her mind. The small she-cat had stiffened, as he had expected...but then she started tracking him, sniffing at the reeds and dry bits of the swamp to get his scent. It was futile...he was the Phantom of Dead Cat's Hollow, and no living cat could find him no matter how hard they tried. Sure, as natural as it is for any cat his scent covered the Hollow, but he was so good at hiding that they would never be able to pinpoint his exact location.
The Phantom's mismatched eyes watched Puresun deep in the shadows, his gaze unwavering and stone-cold. Without a sound, he suddenly dived into one of the holes, the ones that clan cats would never dare wander down. In that instant, the white side of his face came out of the shadows, revealing the blue eye and the terrifying pattern for a heartbeat. The whole was beneath one of of the tree's roots, and provided a tiny gap where he could peer through and watch the she-cat. This particular tree had a almost hollow trunk, and was often the source of his entertainment.
Raising his head, the Phantom let out a low pitched yowl into the hollow tree trunk. His voice, amplified and modified by the tree trunk, echoed through the Hollow. The resounding echo sounded more eerie, as though a hundred cats were moaning in pain together...yet at the same time, it could have been the wind causing the noise...or could it?
"Puresun..."
The same seductive and melodic voice echoed through Puresun's mind. In the chaos, with the "wind" creating the howls and moans, it could easily be Puresun's imagination. Or could it? ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬ ▬▬▬
