Owner: Oceanfosh
Name: Flame Flight
Gender: Male
Rank: Sun
Age: 2 years
Colony: The Lost Stars Prompt:“Flame? What might you be doing?”
Flame Flight flinched at the words of River Patter. Orange fur swept around to meet blue fur. The cream tabby had been following a strange trail, which led him to the lake. What Flame didn’t know was that he was being followed; by his least favorite Bowlcat.
“I was following a strange trail!” Flame defended himself. River paused, as if confused as to why Flame was so worried.
“Alright. Mind if I join you? If it’s something dangerous it’s good to have more than one cat. Plus, you didn’t leave with your group.” River said, and Flame took a few steps back, his hind paws hitting water.
“Uh… It ends here, actually, and I’m going to head back now… Maybe tell Copper…” The cream tabby burst into a run and pelted away.
Flame had a good reason for being afraid of River; The cream tabby wasn’t born in the colony, and according to Copper, the Supernova, there had been a falling star the night before. Flame, however, knew that this was not the case. He went along with it anyway. The first day Flame had been welcomed into the colony, River had sat silently in the back. The X on his bowl was strange, and his tail twitched as if he were irritated. Through River’s actions, Flame is starting to suspect more and more that River knew there hadn’t been a falling star, and therefore his fear grows each day.
