As the sun rose above the horizon, sun rays split over the earth, warming the ground. Little green worshipers flew in the wind, their leaves soaking up their morning fill, some not as lucky as others. Trees loomed and creaked while birds sang their morning song, parents heading off to find food for their offspring. The only thing out of balance was a tall blue figure watching from the tree tops, ignoring the frightened animals as he paced through the canopy.
"Greenleaf has sprung," he murmured with a small purr, a few birds fleeing from their nests in the branches above as he walked without a care. He was outside clan boundaries, a little close to ThunderClan. He usually kept near RiverClan so he could watch over his sister and talk with her occasionally. The tom wasn't sure where his place was, but for now, he'd be a little independent. Maybe someday he'd join her in RiverClan.
Lost in thought, the blue tom almost slipped off the branch he stood on. He froze, his heart skipping a beat before he realized he was alright. He slowly moved to the next tree, his stomach growling a little. He could go for a little prey. Switching his mind to hunting mode, he lifted his nose and took a deep sniff. Squirrels were storing acorns in the tree next door. There was a whole family, maybe even a second generation. He could easily pick one of them off, right? He began to slowly move halfway down the tree, keeping his eyes low and his paw steps silent. Once he was halfway down, he moved to the other tree by crossing two intersecting branches. The squirrels were getting close. He sat, waiting for one of them to go just a little bit higher before...
Whack! Tidalrage flicked his paw, slapping the squirrel upwards into the air. It twisted, trying to move away from his waiting jaws. He snatched it quickly by the neck, killing it instantly with his fangs. The other squirrels fled while birds called in warning to all the other animals. He felt alone as he ate his meal as the prey animals scampered back to their homes for protection.

Bliss looked around and saw the prey running away, but only shrugged and pounced killing a mouse as it tried to run past and sat down and began to hungrily gulp it down. Then she thought she heard something and looked around nervously flicking her ears, hoping that badger or fox didn't come out.

The blue tom ate his squirrel in peace, not hesitant to gobble up the entire rodent. The taste seemed to make him eat even faster. Everything seemed to taste better outside the Clan territory he usually wandered. After it was nothing but a pile of bones, he flicked his tail, sending the pile down to crash on the forest floor, not to far from Bliss, the she-cat she'd met just a few nights before.
"Oh, hello again~" the tom spoke, quickly making his way down to the she-cat. "Tired of busy Clan territory too?" he asks as he lands on the ground, blinking his calm amber eyes.

"I don't like the clans, the cat I use to love was killed by a dog near the twoleg place, I told him that we shouldn't go any where near the clan territory, but he didn't listen," Bliss meowed her voice said, her eyes echoing the sadness.
ooc: plot: should she be expecting her lost lovers kits or not

"Woahwoah, calm yourself," the tom murmurs, his tail brushing over her back in support. "These Clans? I mean, all of them are different. I was one of them way back when," he commented, blinking slowly. The she-cat remained skittish whenever they were close to the Clan's territory, and he had noticed it. "Don't worry about them. They won't get you if you play it safe," he commented, turning his attention to the trees around them. "Do you know how to climb?"

"Do you know how to climb."
Bliss nodded when she heard him say that and climbed up a tree, stopping when she was half-way up and glanced down. "Can you tree jump?" she called down looking at all of the trees and noticed how green their leaves looked. She shook her head and glanced back down at him before she jumped over to another tree landing gracefully on a branch and glanced at the sky watching the clouds move by.

"Can you tree jump?"
"Of course! I could've been labeled as a squirrel back in EchoClan," he chuckled, grasping the tall oak with his claws as he scurried his way after her. As he reached the branch she was formerly on, he climbed up just one more before leaping into the next tree. He landed silently, keeping himself balanced. He liked seeing all these rogues out and about by the Clan territories. It made him feel a little more at ease to know he wasn't the only one that felt independent.

Bliss jumped to the next tree jumping his as she did it and landed two branches above Tidalwave and let her mind wander. She wished that she could find her littermates, deep down she knew they were alive.

He chuckled a bit, looking up at Bliss with a small smile. He could see something worrying her in her gaze. He'd seen this before, but probably didn't pay attention enough to catch it. "Is..something on your mind, Bliss?" he blinked, wiping away to a calm, yet serious, tone.

Bliss heard his question and glanced down just thinking of my litter mates. I pushed them away too much, when I lost the cat I loved, and we went our separate ways, but now I am trying to find them," Bliss meowed glancing at the sky.

Tidalrage hmmed, nodded his head, and blinked a few times in reply. He knew exactly what it was like to feel lost from your family. After leaving his tribe and EchoClan after they were destroyed, he had lost his real family and his Clan family, and never saw anyone or smelt their scents again. A small pit of longing still blossomed inside him once in a while, but he knew he couldn't mope around. They were gone.
"When did you get separated?" he blinked with curiousity. Maybe I can help, he thought.

"I don't know for a while I let myself stop caring, and I don't know how many moons ago it was, but their names are Frisk and Snowy," Bliss meowed and glanced at the sky blinking.

"And you hope to find them here? Maybe they joined a clan..." he blinked, questioning the idea. Bliss didn't like Clans, and he knew that. From what he'd saw, he was surprised to see her at Fourtrees a while back. She was always skittish in the territories and very cautious. Whenever he seemed to bump into her, she always had a little fear and fury in her eyes before realizing it was just him.

"No, last I heard they were seen past clan territory, though my older cousin is Shadowclans leader, and my siblings hate any new cat they meet, you see when we were kits our parents were killed by other rouges," Bliss meowed frowning.
ooc: yeah her cousin is Icestar

"I'm sorry to hear that about your parents," the tom mewed sympathetically. "But, your cousin, leader of ShadowClan? I'm surprised you didn't go with her," he replied. He didn't have much say in that topic--he still didn't feel right with his sister in RiverClan. He didn't feel apart of that place. Trees were more of his style, but he didn't want to be enemies with his sister, or be called a traitor by his clanmates because of his sister's loyalty to her own clan. Their secret meetings were almost a little to much for him on some days. |
