Wrong Perception Or Accusation?

[Raven]

Night time had claimed the entire forest. Leaving a speckled blanket, the moon was it's night light. The amber and white tom stood. Left forepaw hung in mid stride. White ears twitching constantly at every noise. He doubted she'd be here. But he still wanted to try, perhaps he wasn't the only one who went for midnight walks. Moonlit strolls, he was a complete daydreamer. Many times since he'd met Sparklepaw, he'd been wishing she was there with him. His heart began to thump unexpectedly fast at the thought of Sparklepaw. How was this possible? He vowed to be loyal, he said he'd uphold the warrior code. Yet, he was daydreaming of a Riverclan apprentice. Could he really get away with such disturbing thoughts of disloyalty? He took a deep breath laying down with his head between his white paws. Not even his fathers wise words could help him. Nor his mentors brave theories. He was on his own with such a tough decision. What if he joined Riverclan? He was sure he was in love with Sparklepaw. Despite his young age, he knew what love felt like. And this was surly what he felt for the apprentice, he barely knew. Surely he'd want a Thunderclan she-cat, one he'd know forever, a friend of his perhaps. But no, he had to find his love in Riverclan. The moon hung over his white and amber body.

OOC: Not my best, but people in my house won't stop bugging me. Plus I suck at most starting posts XD.

Sparklepaw's ears pricked, her mouth automatically breaking into a wide smile at the prospect of seeing the Thunderclan tom again. She padded softly over to him and sat behind him. She let her tail softly glide over his flank, letting him know she was there although he must have known already from her scent. She sighed.

"Have you been having the same feelings as I have, Ambercloud?"
she whispered softly, shaking a little from the nearness to the cat she knew she was in love with. She kept her gaze on the stars above them, wondering how Starclan felt about their sudden relationship and why they had made it so. But, she also knew that Starclan did everything for a reason. She sighed, her mind telling her to attack the tom, but she couldn't. She knew that whatever happened, she was in love with an enemy cat and she could never hurt him in any way.

[Raven]

He was lost in self tumult. Wishing to Starclan they would accept his thoughts. Knowing they would not. Images of them sitting together stood out in his mind. What if the only answer was to become Riverclan? The young warrior leaped forward when her tail touched his flank. Turning around with bared fangs, claws unsheathed. His heart was pounding with fear and excitement. Her words startling him deeply. She could see it? His eyes flickered uncertainly. All his mind screaming to attack her. She was on Thunderclan land. He thought she looked pretty with wood in the background. He realized he'd spaced out, just staring at her with claws out and fangs bared. Embarrassment flushing his face.

"Yes, Sparklepaw. I do believe I feel the same. I feel flushed whenever I see you, as if whatever I'm doing isn't good enough. My heart roars with the intensity of your eyes. My mind makes images of kits and a Riverclan mother. My skin shivers every time I see your shining pelt, as if Starclan themselves made you. And then, I realize what I promised to do and I fall. And my worries overlap, so I run. I run from every problem with this stupid, worthless memory of some code. I curse the day our ancestors made such a frivolous code! And then, I think of everything I surpassed with flying colors. My motherless kit hood, my dead sister and last but not least. The death of my father. The only family I remember. Besides, my long dead adoptive grandmother, Windstar. He is the only one I remember. And I realize, I need, want to be loyal to Thunderclan. Even if it means I may never find another one to love in the next lifetime. And you know what? I realize I don't want that. But I have never heard wisdom over such a trivial matter! I'm sure I am not the first, but I don't want to leave my friends and family..."

His blue eyes holding such sorrow, so vivid it made him shake with fear, pain and fury. Near close to tears with his frustration. He just, felt he could tell her everything. So he did. He turned his gaze away as he finished. Breathing harshly with his long speech. Head bowed in a mockery of the warriors. They were supposed to be strong and confident.

OOC: I *pause* love (this tie((Family Guy squee!))) playing young cats. Their so adorable. Like the speech? I wrote it last XD.

[{Snarky}]

Sparklepaw's eyes watered at the intensity of the feelings stemming from this young warrior and all the pain in his past. She leaned against him, still slightly unnerved about being on a different clan's territory. She decided it was only fair to share a little of her story.

"Rosethorn, my mentor." She paused, knowing she wasn't allowed to tell anyone about this. Especially a cat from another clan who could easily turn this information over to the wrong people. But she continued anyways. "She mated with a Shadowclan cat. She has four beautiful kits, and they are so excited about becoming loyal warriors. They know shes lying to them about their origin, you can sense it in them, but they are happy nonetheless."

She finished, taking a deep breath and trying to hide her guilt at the mere fact she had shared a deep secret. She shivered from a sudden breeze that passed through the trees. She looked up again at Starclan.

"There must be a reason that Starclan has put us together like this, invading our thoughts and making us question our loyalties. Maybe, just maybe, we are the beginning of a new era. Maybe Starclan has chosen us, our possible future kits, to change the way others feel about love. Our kits could be the strongest warriors any clan has ever seen, despite their "broken" heritage. Doesn't that give you hope?"
She turned to look at him, her ocean eyes pleading. She let out a soft purr and rubbed against him gently, her tail wrapping around his lean body and holding him close to her.

[[*swoons* That was AMAZING!!! You should get a medal... ]]

[Raven]

Ambercloud was choked up with fierce emotion. He closed his eyes, why? Why did she make so much sense? The ussually loyal warrior suddenly had the solution. His blue eyes opened sorrow was in his eyes. Today he would make a strange decision. For his logical mind would just say not to do it. But no, he could not do that. He just stared at her. Battling with his mind. He wanted to follow her to Riverclan. He would! He would become a Riverclan warrior!

"There is only one way..."

He whispered to himself. Looking up at her again. Tail twitching with finality. He took a deep breath. Wondering how they could do this. Would Palestar accept him? He had to try.

"I'm gonna join Riverclan...If Palestar won't accept me in...I can't be your mate if I must stay in Thunderclan. I vowed to follow the Warrior Code. No matter what. I will follow it, if only for my family. Windstar didn't save my mother so I could dishoner my family."

He said with a steady voice. Though he was torn inside. Without waiting for her he turned and bolted across the stepping stones. Racing towards the Riverclan camp. Before he turned back on his words.

OOC: I'm so good *Joking* XD Hum...I'll probably make Creamkit a rogue when he's old enough...er no, he'll probably join Thunderclan. I wouldn't want to have them all group to Riverclan. Cause I think I'll make Longclaw join River too. Can you start the post? I gotta go.

Duskkit was out alone again. She pricked her ears as she heard hushed vioces nearby. She padded closer and closer until she saw Sparklepaw and this other cat. She padded towards her friend and said,"Hi!" Then she stopped dead in her tracks and scented the air," I smell something Sparklepaw, do you know what it is?" Duskkit looked at the tom next to her mother's apprentice and said," Who are you?"
