"Even after leaving me to die the first time, I still can't seem to escape you."

He thought he was hallucinating, seeing her form in front of him after all these moons.

Her ginger pelt nearly disappeared in the fronds in front of him. Yet, he could still feel the heat from her expression no matter the thin layer of frost she tried to erect around it. He got the impression she was searching his gaze. For what, he couldn’t fathom. She had already ripped everything he could give her from him.

“You knew exactly what you were getting into when we first started out. We’re thieves, Buck. Our safety was never guaranteed.” She paused to scoff. “Besides, weren’t you always the one saying you’d ditch me at the first sign of danger? That I wasn’t worth getting your hide ripped up for?”

Though he still thought he was staring into the eyes of a ghost, anger rose unbidden in his chest. “You should have never came back for me! You let me think you were dead!” His voice rose in a scream.

The bubble popped. Gone was the once level-headed tom, and she scrambled back in alarm. The movement triggered him into action, and he pounced.



She never stood a chance against his strength. She closed her eyes, bracing herself for the inevitable under his feet, but his trembling made her pause. He buried his nose in her soft fur, and his mantra vibrated her chest.

“Honey, Honey, Honey…”

what happened to this cat, and how does their bonded partner help them cope?

what had happened? well, in peach's eyes, the world had fallen.
the streets became colder: the nights even more so.
food was short, especially for an expecting mother.
there was no safety in the streets.
still, she had remained with the thought of her soon-to-be-born kittens close in mind.
however they were stolen from her, too.

grief ate away at her as she fled those cursed, dismal streets. she had nothing but herself now, running from her past.
she met vanna when it all became too much - she had collapsed in a heap amongst the forest floor, sobs wracking her fragile body. peachflower had been travelling for days with little rest, paranoia of the unknown eating away at her with every uneasy step she took.
he was kind - unbelievably so. he smelt of wildflowers, of warmth. of course, she only realised that after almost jumping out of her skin at the sudden appearance of the tom. vanna led her to whimsyclan, his home.

vanna was the rock she needed as she began to recover.
he was always there, never turning away and always ready to listen.

in turn, she had promised to do the same for him, if need be.

vanna is so much more than the world to peachflower. somehow, they seemed destined for each other, unbelievably so.

the past cannot be escaped, but with vanna, there is nothing to run from. stoically, they stand together, or not at all.

clan: silentclan

prompt:
hold your breath. don't move. don't peek. don't mew. don't beg for mercy. stay silent. these were all commands that the young apprentice had been given. a battle had extended into the clan's camp, loud cries heard beyond the den. the apprentice was crouching at the back, her yellow eyes wide and her body tense, as her claws curled against the cavern ground, hoping to keep herself stiff in her position. she visibly flinched as a shadowy figure walked by the den, peering in. she forced her eyes shut, hoping to remain hidden. suddenly, she heard another apprentice begin to mew loudly, begging for mercy as they were dragged out. deerpaw had been forced to stay silent, unable to save their friend. she had been the only survivor. this was a memory that haunted deergaze, going as far as to prevent her from becoming a warrior for some time. she had frequent nightmares and an unbearable guilt on her shoulders.

while out hunting one day, her saving grace revealed themselves, a cat by the name of cardinaldance. naturally, it took several moons for deergaze to adjust to the presence of the stranger, but she coped quickly. cardinaldance had began to grow on her, helping her in subtle ways. everywhere the two of them went, cardinaldance held a curled leave in her jaws, which was filled with juniper berries. each time deergaze showed fear, cardinal would lean closer, the aroma of the berries filling deergaze's nostrils to calm her nerves.

Clan || Tribe of Roaring Flames
Cat Name|| Belle // Bell whos chime echoes through the mountains // Bellchime
Cat Age || 26 moons
Cat Gender || Female
Prompt ||

Life isn’t always what we hope it to be.
Sometimes the path that unfolds was unseen,
and events that occur can break us down
the feeling so overwhelming you feel like you’ll drown.

Imagine loving someone so dear,
only to find out their love was never sincere.
To be left behind as a truck drives away,
by the ones that held you, that fed you, that played.
Humans had left her behind, they left in a hurry
They left their cat Belle, who’s feelings were a flurry.

Abandoned. Unwanted. Unloved. Not needed.
So it was into the wild that she had retreated.
No claws, no friends, nothing just yet.
Until a stranger by the sea that she had met
decided to care for and help to defend
for it was Wasps broken heart that belle managed to mend.

Wasp sang to Belle a song of her sorrows,
a song that spoke of potential tomorrows.
A song that filled Belle with a warmth so sweet,
and a song that spoke of other cats they would meet.
A home that helped Belle feel so much better,
from a song that Wasp sang that they soon sang together.

Whenever Belle hurts or seems to feel sad,
Wasp will hum her rhythm so Belle won’t feel bad.
Belle and Wasp can confide in each other
their fears and their dreams and their care for another
And with each and every passing hour
their bond grows stronger, and their song will grow louder.

[SkywardtheDragon]

Username: Skywardthedragon
Clan: Tribe of Circling Winds
Cat Name: Branch Fallen From Tree
Cat Gender: Female
Prompt:
Like a branch on the ground, she was separated from her home.

She was once Branchkit, then Branchpaw, then Branchwhisker, named for her deft navigation of places where larger cats could barely fit a paw in. She knew all of her Clan’s laws—vigils, codes, traditions—and took them all to heart. She remained steadfast in her belief in the the strength of the Clan’s traditions, and how right they were, the mark of truly civilized cats.

In the second moon of getting her warrior’s name, her Clan was overrun by badgers. She ran from the black-and-white terrors, climbing uneasy ledges out of camp and onto high ground. No thoughts were given to the screams of her clanmates, only her urge to get away as fast as possible.

She passed out long after the sun had set, and woke up in an entirely new place. Two tabbies, one elderly and one young, sat by her. The old one asked for her name, which she mumbled. His ears angled back at the mention, hissing “The Clans!”
They were the barbaric “rogues” of Clan tale, it seemed. They certainly looked the part. The elder was scarred all over, and even his junior has two on his back. Did they truly attack innocent cats? They didn’t attack her at least, if that was the case.

The younger one was coming over to her side, her thick fur surprisingly comforting as she curled up beside her. “Don’t worry,” she meowed, “Whatever happened, you’re safe now.”
