(:O She can always escape... hmm. *ponders* Well, not right now, in any case. XD I want another revolt, soon, though....! ^.^; Jetstream and his pals need to get accepted into BloodClan, first, though. XD)
Slight padded alone towards the river, where another elite apprentice was fishing. The small she-cat had silver and pale brown stripes all along her body, and a white underside, face, and tail. Her tail had one black splotch on it in the middle, though, and she had green eyes. Slight knew that this she-cat was so small, she could have been a slave, but even though her parents were slaves, the BloodClan warriors had seen her sheer strength from day one.
"Hello, Shiffey," Slight meowed, dipping her head to the older she-cat - Shiff was two moons older than her - once she turned around after catching another fish.
"Wha-whaaaaa--Oh!" Shiff's eyes widened. "You startled me, Slightey!"
"Haha. So I did." Slight laughed. She and Shiff were good friends, and would call each other 'Shiffey' and 'Slighty'. "Well, so, then.... How're the fish swimming?"
"Not so good," Shiff admitted. "A Twoleg must have been fishing upstream, because today there are so few fish. This is the season when the rainbow trout and all those other kinds of fish come out, too, so the Twolegs mostly come here and start fishing then," Shiff added.
"Wow." Slight nodded at the pile of fish. "You're still a skilled hunter, though! Are those the queen rations?" Shiff now nodded. "Well, I wish you luck." She began padding away.
"Wait!" Shiff called, and Slight turned back. "I just have one question for you...." Now, she looked very embarrassed. "I.... I like someone. Dante. Do you think he'd ever like an apprentice like me back?"
Slight purred, walking back up to Shiff. "I have no idea, Shiffey. But," she added, seriously now, "I do recommend that you wait until you're a warrior to tell him of your feelings. BloodClan warriors might not like apprentices too much, particularly young ones, like us."
"But what if he has a mate by then?" Shiff wailed. "I'm telling you, Slightey, he's my one true love!"
"Well...." At first, Slight wasn't quite sure how to answer that, but then she finally decided on what to tell Shiff and said, "I guess you should try to scare away any possible mates for Dante? Well, not obviously, of course, but... you know. I dunno." She shrugged. "I'm sure you'll figure out a way. And, anyways, now I have to go back to watching my current slave assessment, Falconpaw!" she called over her shoulder as she dashed away, back into the forest.
Feeling a bit down? Want a free pet? You may pick one pet from this group here :>)Howling ghosts they reappear
In mountains that are stacked with fear
But you're a king and I'm a lionheart
And in the sea that's painted black,
Creatures lurk below the deck
But you're the king and I'm a lionheart
