MistClan:The Clan of Secrets ((Please Join!))

[float away.]

Thunderbelly had retreated to a quiet corner in camp, where he was quietly speaking with Copperwhisker. The two had been friends for a long time, and he often went to her to talk things over and vent. "I feel horrible." He murmured, yellow eyes glued to his large paws. "I hate being put into situations that I can't control. Especially when it comes to feelings. I just had to... well there is no other way to put this, reject Red-eye's advances because I don't like her in that way, and I don't think I ever will. It crushes me to hurt a clanmate but... I can't pretend I feel something I don't, right?" All he got in reply was a steady stare from the she-cat's amber eyes. Sighing he continued, "It's not easy. I'm... I'm not ready for a mate. Yet everyone around me is pairing up. It makes me think there is something wrong with me."

Copperwhisker rasped her tongue against the brown warrior's cheek and purred, "Oh my friend. You need to stop fretting. There is nothing wrong with you. You just aren't at the place in your life that other cats seem to want you to be. And that isn't a bad thing. You protect and care for all cats in our clan, you are a role model to Amberkit and Foxpaw, and you are a best friend to me, Dewstar, and Ravenclaw. You don't have to have a mate if you don't want to. And any good friend would understand and respect your wishes."

Sighing, the heavy tom leaned against the smaller she-cat, resting his chin on her head. "How do you always know what to say?" All he got in response was a short bout of laughter that sounded along the lines of, "That is my secret to keep."

Sandpaw looked at Sagepaw dejectedly. "You can't completely blame the poor guy. Would you rather he faked feelings for her and be miserable and a liar?"

Watched Redeye and nodded, hoping she helped her, "Well Moonflower..it looks like we haven't grown up fully." She mewed honestly then chuckled, "I'm afraid he still thinks of me as his best friend" then she paused and added, "He'd rather be a warrior, I feel like Redeye." She looked down sadly and nodded honestly. She really did..she liked..no she loved a tom that just wanted to be friends..she thought. "How are you?"

[tealbananas]

"Yes I'm fine.' she said looking up at him ' Thunderbelly just kinda ......made me sad. " she said to Ravenclaw. She realized it wasn't Thunderbelly who she liked it was Ravenclaw. She shook her head. She knew it wasn't possible casue he was with Finchstep. She looked at him with warm eyes and said "Finchstep is lucky to have you." she didn't quite understand what she just said.

"Well, no not really but it just hurts me to see that my aunt is hurt badly." she said strongly.

Sandpaw ran his tail along the she-cat's shoulder and nodded. "Its understandable. But hurt and pain aren't something we can always avoid... At least he was honest."

Willowsong continued coughing. "Sorry to keep bugging you Goosepaw." She said, weakly padding up to the medicine cat's den. "I think i'm coming down with--" She broke off, coughing.

"I'm fine, thanks." Moonflower smiled sympathetically. "I sort of know where you're soming from." She admitted. "But maybe you should think a bit more carefully. Pinewhisker likes you more than you think." She said.

Ravenclaw nodded. "Er...thank you." He said. "And maybe Thunderbelly will come around one day. I know he really wants to love another cat and he wants kits so badly you won't believe it. He says Amberkit is pretty much the daughter he's never had. And you know...he fought Cloudstep in the dark forest and 'killed' her. He's very torn right now." He said, shuddering from the experience.

[tealbananas]

"True. Looks like Ravenclaw is giving her company right now." sagepaw said cheerfully now that Red-eye wasn't alone.

"your welcome. He told me he will never have those feelings for me so I don't wanna go there." she said going back into sadness.

[Seiko Hinohara]

Roseheart.
She looked up hopefully, "You think so Moonflower?" Then she looked calmly at the she cat, her friend and mewed, "What do you meaan, you know where I'm coming from? You seem like a very loved cat." She smiled

Ravenclaw flicked his ears and laughed. He used his tail and flicked some sand at the apprentices. "Maybe some cheeky apprentices who seem to love gossiping other cats would like to join us for some fresh-kill." He said to Sagepaw and Sandpaw.

Moonflower grinned. "I can be very nosy if it's for my friends." She giggled. "And I think i like Thunderbelly, but I don't want to ask him since he looks so depressed all the time. Unless he's playing with kits." She said.

Willowsong coughed. "Goosepaw?" She asked, coughing some more.

[float away.]

Nothing really. Thunderbelly feels awful about hurting Red-eye's feelings and all the cats are just kinda talking.))

Goosepaw's eyes flew open at the sound of coughing. Rising from his nest he went to Willowsong, pressing an ear against her chest as she coughed. Helping the elder over to a nest, he let her settle in before gathering chickweed, colstfoot, honey, and juniper berries. "I think right now you just have whitecough, nothing serious enough yet. So I'm going to see if chickweed and coltsfoot work before I give you catmint. The juniper and honey should help soothe your throat and breathing."

"She just needs friends right now." He purred, happier to see both cats lightening up. "Everyone seems to be putting so much value on mates lately..." Sandpaw's ears perked at the mention of food and he grinned over at Ravenclaw.

[jarvis.]

Dewstar leaped down and smiled warmly at Red-eye. With a low purr she murmured gently, "I just want you to remember that this clan and I will always be here for you." She touched her nose to Red-eye's ear as a friend gesture.
