He ran alongside the river and then stopped when he saw a specific boulder. It was a special place for him, though he never really knew why. It was for this reason that he decide to take Minnowstream here. There was good hunting anyway. Mudstep noticed a trout swimming around underwater. He tensed his legs and sprung into the river. His claws hooked the fish while he was underwater, and he flung it on shore when he surfaced. The brown tom clambered onshore and bit its neck, ending its life. Mudstep bowed his head and thanked StarClan. The large brown tom shook his fur, sending water droplets everywhere. He blushed when he noticed his fur was a puffed up as a hedgehog and went to work smoothing it down. " So... " Mudstep wasn't really sure how she wanted to start a conversation, so he'd just leave it to her for right now.[/style]

"How have you been lately?" Minnowstream asked lamely, gazing down into the water. She spotted another trout, it was swimming around, as if teasing them you can't get me, you can't get me. The silver tabby narrowed her eyes, focusing on the fish, she was about to jump in to grab the fish but Minnowstream decided to wait for Mudstep to answer.

OOC:: Cloudwing's just gonna stalk them now. o3o


Cloudwing silently crept through the few undergrowth, trying very hard to conceal himself within anything he could find; bushes or long stalks of grass. It hadn't taken him long to figure that he should follow Minnowstream and Mudstep. He knew that what he was doing might upset Minnowstream if she found out, but he just couldn't leave her alone with that pathetic excuse for a cat; Mudstep. Who knew what that flirtacious tom would do to her? He didn't know why he was being so protective, but Cloudwing was sure of one thing; that something wasn't right.

OCC: lol

Minnowstream glanced behind herself, thinking she heard something. "It must be nothing." she murmured, glancing back down at the trout. Though the silver warrior kept her ears pricked. She jumped into the water, managing to hook her claws on the trout. She carefully pulled it up to the surface, thanking starclan that she didn't mess that up.

He was about to answer when she dove in. It was sort of weird, the fat that it felt like someone was watching them, but he shook the feeling off with a flick of his tail. No cat would eb that creepy. As Minnowstream surfaced, he smiled. " Wow! Great catch! " He looked around again, still bearing that icky feeling. Deciding to take his mind off of it, he remembered to answer her question. " I'm doing fine, actually. You? " Mudstep shivered as a few cold droplets unk to his skin. His head swiveled around yet again. Whatever was watching them was making him paranoid. " Um, do you get the feeling that there's someone watching us? " Mudstep stepped a bit closer to Minnowstream, ready to protect her if he needed to.[/style]

[♦ stormeh ♦]

Cloudwing stiffened, and slowly crept further back into the holly bush that he was hiding in. If Minnowstream found him, he'd be crowfood. So, why was he doing it if he knew that it would upset her? In fact, he didn't know himself. He felt a strange sensation prickle through his fur at the thought of Minnowstream, but then unseathed his claws at the thought of Mudstep being with Minnowstream. Why was he feeling like this? So what if Mudstep was with her? That didn't mean he was better than him.. right?

Minnowstream replied, glancing around. Are we being watched? No, that was ridiculous, who in the world would be watching us hunt?

The silver Main Coon walked back over to the water, though she was watching behind herself out of the corner of her eye.

// on my phone //
Mudstep couldn't help but swivel his head around one more time to check his surroundings. When he was sure it was safe, he returned his gaze to Minnowstream. The brown tom shook his head at her question. He honestly didn't see any fish, but that was besides the point. He needed her attention to be focused on him while he got to the point. " Um, Minnowstream? " He paused trying to think of the right words. " There's something I've been meaning to tell you for quite some time now. " Mudstep swallowed and waited for her to speak. He didn't want to cut straight to the chase but he needed to let her speak.

OOC:: Cloudwing is just gonna pop out now. o3o Mudstep is going to find him, right?


Cloudwing stiffened when Mudstep murmured something quietly to Minnowstream, and he strained to hear them. He decided to move closer, so he could make out their words. Slowly, the white tom crept forward, his paws barely lifted above the ground, and was about to reach the edge of the holly bush when her heard a 'crrrack' sound come from underneath him.

He had accidentally stepped on a twig.

His mind reeling, he blundered backwards and out of the holly bush and into the open, his fur bristling tensely. He decided to pretend that he was going back for his vole if Minnowstream or Mudstep found him.

The silver she-cat wirrled around, her eyes narrowed, only to widen her eyes in surprise and call "Cloudwing?! Were you the one watching us?" The silver Main Coon narrowed her eyes suspiciously. Why in the world would the white tim be following them? She examined him again, he looked like he was heading in a different direction, but the crack had sounded like it was right around the holly bush. Minnowstream could remember the short conversation she and Cloudwing had earlier, so maybe he followed them out here because of jealousy. But why would he be jealous? The thought popped into her mind again. What reason did the white warrior have to be jealous. She couldn't really see any reasons, it's not like her being friends with Mudstep was a big deal either. Or maybe the white tom was just not used to her having other friends, he was probably unfomfortable with the thought. I'll still hang out with you, just not as often.[/style][style=width:340px; overflow: auto; padding-top: 2px; padding-right: 5px; padding-left: 5px; padding-bottom: 2px; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 11.5px; line-height: 9px; text-align: justify; margin-bottom: 3px; color: #000000; background: #ffffff; opacity:0.5; filter:alpha(opacity=50); text-align:center;]❝ TAG :Mudstep, Cloudwing WORDS: words NOTES: Lets hope Cloudwing has a good excuse!❞[/style] [style=position: relative; z-index: 2; text-align: center; display: block; padding: 0px; font-size: 12px; letter-spacing: 1px; font-family: helvetica neue; text-indent: 7px; line-height: 12px; color: #4C74BF;]❝CAUSE YOU KNOW I'M ALWAYS FOR YOU❞[/style]

Cloudwing couldn't help but flinch as his name was called out by Minnowstream's suspicious voice. Turning, he tried to keep his cool and faced the silver tabby anxiously. "Er, what are you talking about?" he mewed, trying to sound just as shocked as she did. "I was going to get my vole." he snorted, trying to look uneffected by the look of disbelief on Minnowstream's face. He suddenly felt bad gain as he thought of their hunting contest, but tried not to spill his prey then and there.

Minnowstream frowned when the tom replied. Cloudwing rarely lied to her, but the silver she-cat was definitly suspicious this time. Something didn't seem right! She was apsolutly sure that the twig snap had come from over by the holly bush, but the white tom didn't seem to be near it. Why was Cloudwing lying to her? Was their friendship collaspsing? Suddenly it hit her, what if Cloudwing was angry at her for getting so upset when he laughed? Was the tom following her around because he couldn't find a way to tell her he didn't want to be friends? "I knew this might've happened sooner or later." Minnowstream murmured, her voice sounded muffled to the others because she was looking down at her paws. The only thought that could reach her was why do I have to be so...emotional! Why can't I just have a normal life like everyone else! Okay, actually there was another thought that popped into her mind. Is the gorge close to where we are?. The gorge was basicly her go-to place, it was where she always went when she was depressed or angry. Still looking down at her paws, the silver warrior examined the ground around her, it wasn't exactly a place she knew really well but it was fimilar enough. The gorge shouldn't be too far from here, maybe I can make a dash for it....no. I can't just leave, running away from everyhing is just going to delay what's going to happen. "I-I know exacly what's going on here." Minnowstream meowed, lifting her gaze from the ground. She kept switching her gaze from Cloudwing to Mudstep. There was one hopeful thing she could think of. It was that maybe Mudstep would still be her friend, she wouldn't be all left alone. But how long will he last? She realized that too, if Cloudwing got angry because of her emotional "breakdown" how long would it take her to have another one, and then Mudstep would get angry too. T-there's no way out of it. I-I must be destined to be lonely. Minnowstream didn't want to accept it, but she knew it must be true. She, probably, would never have any friends.

Cloudwing's heart beat faster when Minnowstream murmured something under her breath, and took a wary step toward her. "W-what do you mean?" he stammered, his voice trailing off. Well, that was it. Minnowstream must had found out that he was following them. But he couldn't help it! It's not Cloudwing's fault that.. that he was acting and feeling so strange at the mere thought of Minnowstream. His mind told him to stop being a mousebrain and stay at camp, while his heart told him to follow them.

Minnowstream's voice trailed off. She really didn't want to admit it, but whether or not she did admit it it would happen. "T-that you came her to tell me you didn't want to be friends anymore." she burst out, a tear collecting in her eye. The silver Main Coon starred down at her paws, unable to face Cloudwing. She didn't want to see him agree with her. "I'm not going to change your mind, I'm just sorry I got so...emotional today." she meowed quietly, squeezing her eyes shut. She felt like a thousand tons of crow-food just droped on her. The she-cat's head ached, mostly because of what she thought was going to happen. It would probably ache even more once she ran off to the gorge and cried until her body ran out of water. What will I do without Cloudwing? At that exact moment, the warrior felt something in herself. No, it wasn't her stomach that was full of butterflys, and it wasn't her brain aching. It was more like warmth....warmth for her freind. Or she should say former friend. It almost was like she was dying, but not the painful part. The part where your whole life flashes before your eyes, you can see all of your best memorys. All of your worst moments, bazicly everything that's happened to you throughout your lifetime. Except, instead of her life memories it was her memorys of Cloudwing. Them as apprentices, joking around and falling to the ground laughing, them battle practice. Cloudwing was giving her some advice on her moves. Then their was their warrior ceremonys, she could remember the white tom calling out her name into the sky. And herself chanting his name. And in that one moment, Minnowstream realized what she was about to lose, and what she was feeling. The silver Main Coon wasn't ready to lose her best friend.

Cloudwing suddenly felt shaky on his paws. He was lost for words, and a pain sharper than claws pierced through his heart. Did Minnowstream really think that he didn't want to be friends with her anymore? He didn't know what he'd do without Minnowstream, and how he could possibly just forget all of his sweet memories of them together.

It was all his fault; when he made fun of her on their hunt. If he hadn't been so.. so.. bird-brained, then maybe this wouldn't have happened. Though unremarkibly, the pain his heart grew until it spread across hi entire chest. But another feeling was there, too. It was small, Cloudwing could barely feel it, but soon it was growing much stronger than his pain.

Cloudwing felt rooted to the ground, until he found the courage deep in his heart, and finally padded forward until he was side by side with Minnowstream, their fur brushing. He felt his ears growing hot in shame, and something else. "Minnowstream.." he started, but his voice failed. Now his heart was thudding hard against his chest, so quickly that it almost hurt. He felt as though they stood there for moons, even Mudstep was forgotton.

"I never meant to hurt you, Minnowstream.." he finally choked out, pressing his nose into Minnowstream's flank gently, hoping that she wouldn't jerk away from him. Instead, his mind grew clear, and there was only one thought running through his mind. "I love you." He felt as though the world had fallen from his paws, and he was sinking into it's eery darkness. Though, a warm feeling spread through out his body, as if it was lifting him up from the shadows and into a bright, warm clearing.
