"We will be practicing but not today. Today you're just familiarizing yourself with the scent of other Clans. And you're going to love the Gathering. It's awesome! There's a lot of other cats and tons of opportunity to make new friends. Although, you might make a few enemies. Just a warning, talk little, listen a lot. But don't be too quiet. Others will suspect you of being hostile. Anyways, let;s get back to scents." she lead the way to the ThunderClan border. "This is ThunderClan's scent. Get a good smell."

Haypaw took a good sniff,” It’s better than Riverclan’s stench, but not pleasent like ours.” She observed pushing away the thought that she got to smell the Thunderclan border and her littermates didn’t I got apprenticed and they didn’t. I got a mentor they didn’t. I got to tour the territory they didn’t. Don’t worry siblings. I won’t learn to hunt or fight. I’ll do triple the load on apprentice duties to make-up for what I’ve done. (IDK why I want her to have an imaginary littermate who doesn’t exist and isn’t even dead but yet that’s weird)

Nightshade looked at Haypaw. She had been silent for a few seconds, lost in thought. "I know it's not as pleasant as pine needles, but it's necessary." she looked around. "Which border do you want to go to know?" she asked. Nightshade thought it was best to seem like Haypaw was in control.

She shrugged,” Windclan I guess... as I already know Riverclan’s smell.” She meowed. Truthfully, Riverclan’s smell gave her flashbacks to the flood, when her family died on her.

Nightshade smiled. "Well then to the WindClan border we go!" she led the way, making sure that Haypaw could keep up with her. After a while, they reached the WindClan border. Nightshade stood behind the border, the wind buffeting her fur. She sniffed the fresh air and sighed happily.

Haypaw followed closely. She took a wiff It smells so fresh. I almost feel free of my sin of living...but no I am sinful of living... she focused on dark thoughts it felt weird,” It’s creepy. It makes you feel free and happy. I don’t like that feeling. So are we done for the day?” She asked she had reasons to avoid the Riverclan border.

She wasn't really paying attention to anyone - or anything around her. Her golden eyes scanned the territory without really seeing anything. It was like she was trapped - trapped in a dream, or something worse. I must be really out of it. She hadn't spent much time with Scorpionsting lately, and part of her was hoping to see the smaller golden tom again. It was like he brought out a different side to her. She was aggressive, sarcastic, and didn't trust other cats. Redflight had never planned on falling in love. She hated the idea of it. But with Scorpionsting, it was like - like she became someone else entirely. It was like she became a whole new cat.

She became more protective, and her even her voice had changed recently when she was speaking to him. It had become softer, instead of the usual sharpness that it carried. It was like he had taken away her weapons. Stripped away everything. She'd already told him that she had a crush on him, and that had gone... okay... but maybe now, it was time to tell him what she had been denying. What she still wasn't sure she was ready to admit to him. "Okay. I'll just practice, I guess." The feline sighed, taking a few steps to the side to where she could find somewhere safe to reveal these feelings.

"Scorpionsting... you're a really great cat, and we've known each other for a while now... and you know, I already told you I had a crush on you, but I wanted to tell you that I-"

She stopped, her ears going back in a way that she might have blamed on anxiety if it wasn't well-known Redflight didn't get anxious. She was never nervous! This was useless. If she continued to try and talk about feelings, she was going to end up getting herself in more trouble then it was worth. Things just weren't worth this. It wasn't worth all the confusion. Maybe she should throw the feelings aside for now and focus on being friends with Scorpionsting. Yes... friends. Partners, in a way, she supposed.

The jet black tom slid through the pine trees, blending and fading into the shadows of the growing evening, it had been a typical day. Nothing out of the ordinary aside from a growing pain within his chest. An emptiness that he had really been feeling lately. An odd sadness that couldn't be shaken no matter how many friends he filled it with. Just than he spotted redflights tail disappearing out the entrance. His ears perked with interest and moment later the Tom was padding out towards her. He had been standing just outside to get a quick bretah of air when she padded by, he had gone unnoticed. With a triumphant smile he began to slowly trot after her, sliding into the shadows unseen. Until finally she stopped.

Perhaps she was never one for playing around, but lightening her spirit or at least trying to never hurt anybody. except for maybe him. Sometimes. Just than she stopped and stared out into the sdistance. Scorpionsting crouched and fixed his eyes on her, a good fright. just than she began to speak. He studied the clearing more intensely, nobody was present. With a wrinkle of his nose he turned and padded just off to the left keeping out of view until he was around he front of her. This way he could hear clearly.


When he heard his name he completely tensed, claws digging into the dirt and ears ringing. He focused steadily on her, she didn't know he was here. Or did she? If she did she certainly didn't look like she was aware of his presence. He swallowed some Bile in his throat and settled down in the thicket, curling his tail by his hindleg to keep it from twitching. With each word his heart lurched and sang with joy, his face beaming with some sort of pride. He crouched lower to the ground and looked at her dreamily, like an apprentice admiring a pretty she cat he was talking with. Until she stopped abruptly and he sprang Upwards. His head jerking side to side, who was there? He looked back and fourth a. Few more times before concluding it was his paranoid nature. She hadn't spotted him. He was fine. Careful not to alarm her of his presence he slunk back around to his orginal position and waited a few seconds. He wouldn't tell her, he couldn't possibly. Than he padded out slowly a smile plastered on his jaw. "Hey redflight!" he meowed. Biting his lip and trying to stop himself from saying something stupid.

Cloudstrike looked guiltily around her, feeling bad about breaking one of Honeythistle’s rules. But, he wouldn’t know and so it wouldn’t make him sad or angry! In her innocent mind, that was a perfect excuse. She wasn’t trying to be sneaky, she just interpreted the rules as only when Honeythistle was around. After all, why would he care if she caught herself a frog as a snack before returning to the camp if he wasn’t there to do it for her? However, she still had this little pick of guilt that maybe the rules didn’t only count in Honeythistle’s presence and maybe she wasn’t doing the right thing. In order to ease her conscience, Cloudstrike silently promised to find Honeythistle as soon as she returned to camp and do something nice for him. Maybe she would sing, he liked that. Or they could share tongues... Whatever he wanted, she would do for him. That way, her little hunting excursion wasn’t such a bad thing! Feeling much better, Cloudstrike trotted along until she heard something. A quiet, muffled ribbit reached her snowy ears and halted her footsteps as the molly paused to listen. There was a small, boggy pond just ahead of her emitting dozens of ribbits. Catching a frog would be kitten-play here. Smiling to herself, Cloudstrike crouched down in a nearly perfect hunter’s crouch and stalked forward, ignoring the feeling of her silky fur brushing the muggy water as she had been trained to do. The pond muck weighed her down as she struggled further into it, but Shadowclan apprentices were trained for that and Cloudstrike knew just how to move with the added weight to not startle any of the creatures nearby. Pulling herself as far up out of the water as she could, Cloudstrike locked eyes on her target, and leaped.

The she cat whirled around when she heard her name, fur bristling defensively before she blinked in surprise. "...Scorpionsting? What are you doing out here?" She asked. As said before, her voice was considerably softer. Like she was talking to her kits, except Redflight had never had any kits and didn't really spend much time with the ones in the nursery. Her golden eyes flashed in embarassment while she tried to work out whether or not Scorpionsting had heard her, and decided to go with her better answer - which was probably not. She would have seen him, or heard him, or something. Now, Redflight was not good with feelings. She had never really been in love, though she was familiar with the term. She had barely even had a crush. She didn't know what it was like to be in that swooped up off the ground, flying through the air type of love though. That was what she was trying to figure out now. Was that how she felt for Scorpionsting? He was a special cat, she would definitely say that. And when she'd thought that RiverClanner would attack him at the border, she'd been... well... scared for him. Unsure whether or not he would be able to fight off the attacker, and that was what scared her. "Do you, um... need something? From me, I mean?" Redflight asked, her eyes scanning her friend. Crush. Best friend. Love interest. Whatever else he was to her, all of those things, she wasn't really sure. That was the problem with Redflight - feelings were constantly confusing her. She never knew how to react to them. It was... always something. It had always been something. Even when she was younger, she'd had trouble with feelings. Maybe that was the reason she was how she was today. The she cat looked up at the sky, her tail twitching, and avoided making eye contact with Scorpionsting. She didn't want him to see her accidentally unguarded. That wasn't in the plan for her. Not at all.

To her, it didn't matter. She wanted to get better. She wanted to stand out.
