SunClan's Story [New Thread]

[E c h o]

Moonfeather ears flattened even further as she swished her tail around her, tucking it around her legs. "No. I'm.. from.. I'm not from here!" Moon quickly said as she stared wide-eyed at the cat shape in front of her. She quickly looked around her for an escape. She could not be caught by the leader of the clan. Most cats don't like it when you steal their stash of ragweed... Where is Foxstide when you need her?

Swiftcreek lied down calmly, trusting that this cat would be no harm. She seemed more like a runner than a fighter. "Relax, I'm no harm. I prefer to talk before deciding to take any action. I'm not that evil." he says with a laugh. "So you're not from around here? Where are you from?" he continues, asking the question as if the two were old friends. His eyes were bright and excited like a kit. He hadn't met a cat from outside the forest before-unless they were a kittypet. Ugh, he preferred to ignore those. But this...Moonfeather seemed too lean to be a kittypet. But, you never know. She could be one.

" W e all carry a burden within our hearts. Some are heavy, some are light. Others are laced with thorns and needles and tear at out insides. No matter what the burden is though, it is ours and ours alone. We cannot share it, or destroy it. It exists, simply to exist.
And so it shall be."
Hawk blinked, a particular smell wafting among the tangled web of scents on the Sunclan border. He could only have been sitting there for a few minutes, but already things seemed to have escalated within the clan. The drama was practically tangible. He flicked his ear in mild irritation, shuffling his paws uncomfortably. Drama was nothing new to him, but he had hoped things would be..... Quieter among the clans. If it turned out to be no different from the mountains then what use was he there?

Hawk shook the thoughts away, focusing once more on the scent. It was a rich, milky scent that made his eyes harden with pain and memory. The scent of a mother and her kits. His own scent was hard, cold, and had the sharp bite of winter and stone compared to that tender smell of a mother. It made him want to howl to the sky in anguish and fury. However he remained silent, pushing the scent away to the back of his mind. Dwelling on it would only hurt him.

However the scent remained, silently stalking around his senses.

{ This is in response to Smallstep}

[leirah.]

Smallstep nuzzled her kit with a purr, she lifted her head and scented a cat near by. The cat was defiantly a tom cat. The she cat moved her tail over her kits to keep them well hidden. As she sniffed the air with her eyes narrowed they began to soften. Wait a minute this cat was somewhat familiar. Did she know him? She had to have that smell; it was so familiar.

{ Here you go Shiko. ;3;}

{ No, I mean I JUST responded to Smallstep. That wasn't a legit quote, that was actually my response. ^_^; }

[leirah.]

{ What a dork! x3x lol sorry I see now x3 )

Smallstep pricked her ears and called out." Who's there?" She questioned. The scent was familiar, but maybe it was just a cat who had been with a familiar cat she known. She didn't want to take any chances. She circled around her kits and unsheathed her claws.

Swiftcreek lied down calmly, trusting that this cat would be no harm. She seemed more like a runner than a fighter. "Relax, I'm no harm. I prefer to talk before deciding to take any action. I'm not that evil." he says with a laugh. "So you're not from around here? Where are you from?" he continues, asking the question as if the two were old friends. His eyes were bright and excited like a kit. He hadn't met a cat from outside the forest before-unless they were a kittypet. Ugh, he preferred to ignore those. But this...Moonfeather seemed too lean to be a kittypet. But, you never know. She could be one.

Moonfeather shifted uncomfortably, as she looked at the tabby tom. "I never said you where evil, but who said I wasn't," Moon hissed at the cat, her ears perking back up again. She glared at the tom, then glanced at the tall grass around them, "I not from here, but I guess you could call this me and my sister's home. We are originally from a clan in a forest by a river. It is quite a ways from here." Moon sighed and flicked her tail restlessly, "I was kicked out the clan as a Apprentice. I Foxstride as a kit, and raised her myself. She, naturally followed in my footsteps. When everything went down in the clan we came out here to live. We do okay, but it's isn't like the forest." Moon stood up and yawned, "Well, thanks for everything. Gotta go find a fox-cat."

{I have to go study now, might be back later! Here's one last post for now.}

Owlkit woke up at the sudden coldness as his mother got to her paws. He raised his head, but stayed silent, as if he could sense his mother's wariness.

Hawk paused at the voice, the smell of the mother growing stronger as her words wrapped through the air. He stood up, flicking his tail and placing one paw in front of the other as he stepped over the border and into the collage of smells. He resisted the urge to sneeze, grimacing at the less than comfortable barrage of scents. he had lived on the cold mountains, so generally the scents had been low and neutral. Hence why his sense of smell was so keen.

He grimaced and pushed the scents aside, searching for the she-cat. When he caught sight of her flicking tail, he paused. " Hawk said nothing, simply choosing instead to step into view of the she-cat. She was beautiful, admittedly. However her beauty did not affect him. When he spied the kits he quickly looked away, focusing instead on her eyes. His own, despite the wariness and peace within them, were hard and strained. He might mean the she-cat and her kit's no harm, but he didn't not particularly like being around the kits.

{ S'all right. it's an honest mistakes. ^_^; }

Sunpelt followed behind them, deep in thought. This she-cat had no claws to catch and kill prey with. It must have been from two legs. The big, golden tom felt a bit of pity for the she-cat. But, what would Eaglestar think? What could a clawless cat be for the clan besides another mouth? As they neared the camp, he caught the slight scent of blood. That made him narrow his eyes slightly. " Skypaw, pick up the pace. Something must have happened while we were gone." He meowed in his deep voice.

Pebblerun waited for Grinner to start sprinting after Mintsplash. She was close to nudging him again.

[leirah.]

Skypaw nodded and nudged Leah roughly." You heard him come on walk faster. We need to get to camp now." She said and gave the she cat a rough push with a growl. She unsheathed her claws, but nodded she needed to calm down.

( Hehe x3 aww Hawk thinks Smallstep is beautiful x3)

Smallstep looked at Hawk and pinned her ears as she pushed it kits closer to her, but she realized he meant no harm at all and relaxed.
