Boredom ((open))

[~+Emberstar+~]

Silverfoot padded wearily into the clearing, tired from training her apprentice. She spotted her brother, Hawktail, lying in the shade looking worn out but happy, too. He's been pretty down lately; I'm glad he's smiling again, she thought. When the pretty silver tabby reached him, she flopped down and gave him a lick between the ears. "Hi."

Hawktail looked up at his sister. "Hi," he responded, and gave her a friendly flick with his tail. He turned back to the front and watched the clan starting to settle down, with cats picking prey from the pile and sharing tongues as dusk fell like a blanket over the camp. It's so peaceful.. I can't imagine anything going wrong, he thought.

Roseheart padded towards the two cats with a smile. "Hello Silverfoot. Hello Hawktail." she said nodding politely at the two. She layed down on the other side of Hawktail. "So what have you guys been up to?' She asked politely. Roseheart looked over at the entrance to the camp and saw Bluerain and Bluefrost padding in. Their mouths full of prey.

Bluefrost padded into the camp with the blind warrior Bluerain by her side. She walked over to the fresh kill pile and put down her prey. Bluefrost walked over to all three of the cats and smiled "Hello." she said.

Bluerain padded over to the fresh kill pile. Her sightless eyes looking over to where the four cats were talking. She padded over to the and drearily said "Hello.''

[~+Emberstar+~]

Silverfoot looked up. "Hello," she replied with a friendly flick of her tail. The silver warrior glanced at her brother, Hawktail, and Roseheart and gave a faint, knowing mrrow.

Hawktail greeted the other cats, but his mind was locked on Roseheart, who he really liked, who he wanted to ask to be his mate, who he was sometimes too shy to talk to. He gave her a flick with his tail that was more than friendly, but he didn't do anything else because he knew Silverfoot and the others would see. He wasn't embarrassed, he just wasn't sure if Roseheart felt the same way or not.

[~†Lionstar†~]

Roseheart smiled and nuzzled her head against his cheek. She looked over at her sister and friend. Roseheart flicked her tail at them signaling for them to go somewhere else. She looked over at the entrance to camp and saw a thin white tail coming from the left side. Roseheart stared as she knew who it was. Suddenly the tail vanished and she looked back at the two.

Bluefrost smiled and dipped her head. She laid her tail on Bluerain's back and padded off beside Bluerain.

Bluerain felt the tail on her back and let it guide her away.

[~+Emberstar+~]

Silverfoot watched the two cats walk away in confusion, before realizing that Hawktail and Roseheart probably wanted to be alone. The silver tabby's eyes flew wide, and she leaped to her paws. "Oh, um, I guess I'll see you guys later. Bye!" she mewed, and padded toward the warriors' den. She could hang out in there for a while, and perhaps some cat would be in there for her to talk to.

Hawktail watched in gratitude as Silverfoot, Bluefrost, and Bluerain padded away. He looked down at Roseheart and licked her gently between the ears, but wasn't sure what to say. Finally, he took a deep breath and began to speak, "Roseheart, I really like you as more than a friend. Do- do you want to be my mate?" The brown tabby tried not to let his voice shake as he asked the question, hoping beyond hopes that he hadn't rushed things or been mistaken.

[~†Lionstar†~]

Roseheart purred and smiled "I would love to." she said softly. She licked his cheek and purred a little louder. Roseheart looked at the entrance to the clan again, this time she saw two green eyes staring at them. She stood up and padded towards them a little ways. When Roseheart was up by the bush suddenly a big black tom jumped out at her. She jumped up at the closest branch to her sending the black tom to crash into a thorn bush. Roseheart let out a littlr mrrow of laughter before pouncing out of the tree at him.

[~+Emberstar+~]

Hawktail smiled with happiness, but his features turned to a look of confusion as Roseheart stood up and padded toward a clump of bushes. A large black tom leaped out of the bushes at her, and Hawktail's heart almost stopped. He jumped to his paws and hurried over, pouncing on the cat with the hope of pinning him to the ground. "What do you think you're doing?" he growled.

[~†Lionstar†~]

Roseheart narrowly dodged hitting Hawktail. When she hit the ground she looked over and noticed that he pinned him to the ground. Roseheart jumped at the toms face and began clawing it. Suddenly a sharp pain went through her leg. Roseheart let out a small yelp of pain but kept scratching the tom.

The toms name was Bone. He bit into Rosehearts leg and heard her yelp in pain. Suddenly he felt a new pain on his body. HAwktail had successfully pinned him down. He let out a hiss of anger and went to roll over onto him.

Suddenly a new figure came up. It was Silence. She jumped at Hawktail trying to save him from her savage brother.

[~+Emberstar+~]

Hawktail felt another cat pushing him off of Bone, and just in time for the bigger tom would have crushed him when he rolled. The brown tabby looked around in bewilderment, he had no idea who he was supposed to attack; it seemed that the she-cat had been trying to save him but she could also have been attacking him. Hawktail's tail lashed in anger as he remembered Roseheart's yelp of pain when Bone bit down on her leg and he leaped back into the battle, claws outstreched as he tried raking them down the tom's side.

[~†Lionstar†~]

Roseheart hissed as Bone almost crushed her mate. "Don't attack the she-cat she is on our side.'' she yowled towards Hawktail. Roseheart jumped at Bone and and began scratching his face again. She snarled as he went to bite her leg. Roseheart grabbed his scruff and tugged hard.

Bone snarled as Hawktail jumped on his back again. He went to roll again but was stopped by Roseheart grabbing his scruff.

Silence watched as her friend was being pounded. She shrugged and pinned down his back end so he couldn't escape.

[~+Emberstar+~]

Hawktail glared down at the black tom. "Why are you here?" he snarled. The usually kind tabby tom was different in battle, especially since this cat had hurt his mate. Hawktail put out his claws, sinking them into the cat's chest. He tried not to let his confusion show. What sort of cat came pounding into the middle of a camp filled with cats and attacked one of the warriors? And for that matter, why was the she-cat attacking the tom when it was obvious that they had come together? Hawktail shrugged inwardly; it didn't matter so long as they left.

[~†Lionstar†~]

Roseheart snarled at Bone. "Yes why?'' She hissed at him. She stopped attacking him and began licking her wound. It stung badly but Roseheart wanted to make sure that it was cleaned out. When she was done licking it she looked up and then at Silence. a confused look came on her face as she noticed Silence was helping them.

Bone hissed angrily. "We were just here exploring." he spat angrily. He noticed his best friend helping them and a confused look came onto his face but it quickly faded away.

Silence hissed at Bone and bit into his tail causeing blood to come splurting out.

[~+Emberstar+~]

Hawktail looked surprised. "Oh," he mewed. He hopped neatly off of Bone and sat down next to Roseheart, watching as Silence bit the black tom's tail. "But why did you attack Roseheart?" he asked. The brown tabby tom was quite confused as he had thought that there would be more rouges by now, filling the camp, fighting. I thought it was an invasion. Maybe it still is! At that thought, he sprang to his paws and stared at the thorn tunnel. There were no other rouge scents. Hawktail sat back down and looked questioningly at Bone.
