ShadowClan Clearing

[S t a r]

( @Goldenmac )

Darkpaw sighed, she was feeling alone again. Even surrounded by these cats, most of their faces seemed blank. She shivered and that's when she heard the voices, the black cats closed in around her. The world dimmed and slowed to a stop as the black cats appeared, their whispers growing loud. She teared up a bit and she released a shuddered sigh. All she could hear was them. The ground trembled, as did she. Not good enough. They don't like you. They hate you. Give up. The tears got larger and she took deep breaths. She would ignore them. She was fine. She closed her eyes and took more deep breaths until the whispers stopped. She opened her tear filled eyes and looked around, the cats were gone. She smiled to herself. She would be fine. She just had to keep doing this. Dealing with it and being with her friends. She would be fine. Right? Yeah. She'd be fine. She noticed a cat staring at her from across the clearing. She tilted her head to the left slightly and approached them. "Uh.. hi! Why are you.. uhm.. staring at me?"

Sparrowpaw expression seemed to change to bitterness, Great the traitor's talking to me he thought. Now he had to talk to this Anti-Icestar-traitor-evil-revolutionist-cat-apprentice thing.
"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" he stopped to catch his breathe, "I-i wasn't staring at you!" the tom said.
His tail fluffed up a little and he seathed his claws, Calm down Sparrow, everything's fine. he thought. Actually if his idea was true what would he even do about it? He's only an apprentice with no friends, how could he defeat a revolution without telling anyone? Wait was this even a revolution? What if there was no group and Dawnstar wanted to kill those cats for other reasons?

Darkpaw unconsciously stepped back when he seemed to get angry. Did she say something wrong? She sure hoped not. "It.. seemed like you were." She really didn't want to make him anymore angry. She wanted another friend. Darkpaw gave him a small apologetic smile and said, "M-Maybe I was wrong, sorry." She saw another one of those black cats behind Sparrow. She almost gasped in surprise and barely managed to hold it back. She heard a whisper in her ear, He's scared of you. Rumors. He doesn't like you. You'll always be alone. Darkpaw managed to somehow keep up the smile as the whispers continued. Her eyes were filled with fear but she quickly hid any sign of fear. Nobody even knew. Nobody even knew about everything she was told. Everything she saw. Everything she.. felt. Nobody would ever know. Because she would be killed for telling. That's what they told her, if she told anyone, she would die a gruesome death. And lie in a ditch for days until her body was finally found. She held back a shiver and her smile faded.

Sparrowpaw sighed before looking at Darkpaw, he seemed to tilt his head seeing the she-cat's expression, Maybe she's guilty for betraying her clan? he thought.
"So you're Darkpaw right? I'm Sparrowpaw." the tom said.
He flicked his tail a little, hopefully this cat felt some guilt for her disloyalty. The tabby's expression was cold, bitter, he looked up into the sky, it was clear and sunny, possibly an omen? But of what? He was no medicine cat anyways and he knew nothing of those weird ghosts.
"Say, who's your mentor?" he asked Darkpaw.

"Say, who's your mentor?" he asked Darkpaw.

Darkpaw quickly threw on a fake smile, making it as real as possible. "Yeah, I'm Darkpaw." She tilted her head for a moment when he asked her who her mentor was. Mentor..? Oh. Right. "Oh, Blackhaze, he's my adopted brother. Since I uh.. don't really have other family. His family is my family." And then the smile was real. She loved Black. But he was always so busy now. And with that thought, her smile fell and she frowned. She was looking at the ground now. She missed Blackie. He was such a good brother. She never felt the pain until she spoke about him. That's when it hurt. And everytime it hurt, the voices spoke up. Every. Time. He doesn't love you. Forget him. He's a liar. He's a TRAITOR. He HATES YOU. He doesn't miss you! The dark furred she-cat could barely hold back her tears. There was no way she was crying in front of this new friend. No. He'd ask what was wrong it would all go downhill from there. She'd die. And so would her friends. Her family. All of them. She couldn't condemn them to that. She couldn't. She let out a shuddered sigh and looked back up at Sparrow with another fake smile. She was so good at them. And they always hurt.

( @StarSpirit2009 Time to two time in the same thread lol)

Darkpaw padded around clearing, she was wondering where Blackie always was. He was never around when she was. It was strange. And it made her miss him so much more. Then her thoughts went silent. She knew what always happened after she thought about him. She always knew. The dark cats surrounded her, laughing at her. Taunting her. Tell her she wasn't good enough. You're not good enough for your brother! He doesn't want you! He'll never love you! You're always going to be ALONE. That's where she cut the line. She took deep breaths, closing her eyes. The voices quickly faded. This was fine. She was fine. Just find a friend. She glanced almost frantically around the clearing, so many unfamiliar faces. She was in a sea of unknown. She could barely keep herself from hyperventilating. She was FINE. She sighed and her eyes landed on what appeared to be a.. kit? Hm. But they seemed like an apprentice. They would be a perfect friend. She approached them with her usual winning smile. "Hi! I'm Darkpaw! What's your name?"

Sparrowpaw's expression quickly switched from trying to socialize to shock and bitterness, Of course Blackhaze's her mentor, they might have set it up too! he thought. He flicked his tail again, what did this apprentice know? I mean her mentor is Blackhaze and Shrewpaw is her friend so she must be apart of their traitor group. What did Shrewpaw say? Dawnstar wants to get rid of the cats who know her secret? he thought, what secret? I bet these cats don't know anything about Dawnstar! he thought.
"........O-oh so Blackhaze's your mentor huh....? M-mine is uhhh Buckspring, say isn't Shrewpaw you're brother?" Sparrowpaw asked.

Darkpaw nodded, "Mhm! Why do you ask?" Her happy tone was so easy to fake. So easy. Hurt so much. She was fine. Yes. She was fine. Her mind was breaking itself down. Her thoughts dissipating in her mind. She couldn't think. She couldn't feel. Her words got caught in her throat. Then she blinked and her mind immediately rebuilt itself and she was perfectly fine. "S-So uhm, do you have any siblings?" She smiled brightly. Fake. The voices screamed, FAKE! They were practically chanting now. Darkpaw just completely shut them out. Ignoring them. She had to.
