Boredness....

[xx_Ƨǃlvawisha_?]

Wishstar sat down in the middle of the cavern, she was bored out of her mind....There was nothing to do..

The unusually patterned she-cat finally got to her paws, glided on her seemingly winged paws to the fresh-kill pile, picked up a rabbit, carried her prey across the cavern and layed down. The she-cat nibbled mindlessly at the prey, her mind drifting to other things besides her meal. She shrugged, daydreaming again, in her own little world. She was unusual..very peculiar looking, and very mysterious. She never questioned what happened over time, she just drifted through life without question. She looked around casually and started to wash her paws, her fur itching for something interesting to happen.

Timebringer

The days seemed to drag by in the heat of greenleaf, as the tie-dyed colored tom made his way down a tunnel. Down beneath the surface, it was cool and calm, peaceful even. Was. A noisy pair of kits tumbled across the tunnel, before disappearing down into the darkness. Yes, no light filtered in down here. But that was because TornadoClan's night vision kept in time with those of TwilightClan. Heh. Timebringer sneered. Those weird cats made his coat look "normal". But what exactly is normal?

Coming into the main cavern, he spotted some fresh rabbits on the freshkill pile, and plucked up a rabbit for himself, seating his multicolored self near the pool and his leader. It seemed to be just them now, the laughter of the kits far away.

"How are you today, Wishstar?"[/blockquote]

[xx_Ƨǃlvawisha_?]

"I'm fine.." Wishstar mrrowed, still daydreaming. She was in her own little world, still. But then the abstract world started to fade.

She was home, once again. Swept away from her daydreaming and placed Inside the cavern. With the faint sound of playing kits, she remembered that she was the leader of TornadoClan.
She shook her head to clear it of these impossible thoughts. She had a duty to lead her Clan, not to daydream all day!

She suddenly turned to the tom and fixed him with her midnight black gaze, "And how are you, Timebringer?" she asked, the tip of her tail twitching. Her daydreaming was starting to melt away, the imaginary world fading into the darkness of TornadoClan's home.

Timebringer

[/font][/blockquote]

Timebringer chewed on one leg of his rabbit, his bright eyes never straying from the wild yet beautiful coat of his leader. She seemed to be in her own little world again, her eyes staring blankly off into space. The tom wondered how a leader could feel so care-free like that. So...at ease. If he had been leader, he'd be hovering over everyone, trying to make sure everything was perfect and alright. Then again, that's why she's leader and he's not.

Multicolored ears perked forward as she spoke, and he swallowed a bite of rabbit cautiously. Why did he always feel so strange when around his leader?

"I'm...good. I see the hunting patrol did well."

What else could he say? Suddenly it hit him. He must have a crush on her! But his leader?! It couldn't be that way....
Leaders normally didn't have kits, either, so even if they were together, they could never have kits. It ached Timebringer's heart more than anything to know he could never tell the she-cat he liked that he liked her. The tom sighed inwardly and pushed the half-eaten rabbit aside, trying to think of a way they could be together.[/blockquote]

[xx_Ƨǃlvawisha_?]

Wishstar nodded slowly, "Yes..the Clan will be well fed for today.."

She pulled her rabbit closer and took a few bites of it. She chewed slowly, thoughtfully, and her eyes betrayed no emotion. Only the small twitch of her tail tip showed that she was impatient. Eager, yet calm. There was nothing much to say..or do. The solitary she-cat was always gliding off to her unkown and unseen places, always vacant, always calm. She was normal, for a TornadoClan cat. But she stood out among the cats of her Clan.

She looked at the tom next to her. Timebringer was his name? She had known him, yet never noticed the multicolored tom..Until today, at this moment. In the dark cavern...

She was slowly drifting back to the daydream, but she still kept imagining the tie-dyed colored coat of the cat sitting next to her..

Timebringer

[/font][/blockquote]

Timebringer glanced towards his leader again, noticing how her eyes kept going glassy as she seemed to be drifting in and out of reality. There were legends of long ago of a leader, Bluestar, who did this as she descended into madness. Was Wishstar doomed the same fate? He hoped not. Rising up, the tie-dyed colored tom picked up his rabbit and left the remains of it by the nursery, in case a kit wanted to nibble at it. Even in greenleaf, it was bad manners to waste food. Especially when you have to hunt for it. Timebringer sat a little ways away in a stray sunbeam coming through the tunnel, narrowing his eyes in the light. What to do, what to do... should he tell her or not? he didn't know.[/blockquote]

[xx_Ƨǃlvawisha_?]

Wishstar sighed softly and pushed the rabbit away. The wild patterns on her fur shifted and changed as she layed down and rested her head on her paws. She looked around; the cavern was utterly vacant besides herself and Timebringer. The only other signs of life were the laughter of kits, but that seemed very far away now.

Her ears flicked, and her tail tip twitched. Something inside her was just waiting. Waiting for something interesting to happen..She wasn't always daydreaming... She wasn't crazy... Far from it. She was simply unique. Thats what she liked to call herself. Unique.

Her gaze slowly moved to Timebringer. Why had he moved away? She was beginning to like his company..

Timebringer

[/font][/blockquote]

The tie-dyed color tom bowed his face away from the light, giving his fur a few nervous chest licks. The thoughts, the ideas, they were all quarreling and fighting inside. Tell her. Don't tell her. It's not like a wise elder was around either. They were all out sunbasking, and who knew when the cavern would be empty like this again? Just him and Wishstar, along with a few kits. But he watched as the two went running to the surface at their mother's call, leaving Timebringer and his leader completely alone. He shook his fur a moment. It's now or never. Ears flicked as he forced himself to pad over to Wishstar, and he sat near her, tailtip twitching.

"I.....have something to tell you."

Timebringer mrowwed, glancing at his paws and patting at a beetle nervously.[/blockquote]

[xx_Ƨǃlvawisha_?]

Wishstar looked up, tilting her head at the multi-colored tom. She sat up and turned toward him, her ears perked forward. What did he have to tell her of all cats? Something that could affect the Clan, maybe?

She shrugged of these thoughts with a gentle, careless, movement of her slim shoulders. She didn't like to think much about the troubles and possible threats to her Clan. Which surprisingly made her a stronger, more affective leader.

The wildly patterned she-cat shrugged lightly again and looked at Timebringer.

"Yes? What is it?"

Timebringer

[/font][/blockquote]

The tie-dye colored tom stared harder at his paws, as if doing so could make them turn to wings and he could fly away from his feelings. But no matter how hard he stared, or how long he waited, nothing seemed to be happening, other than the eerie silence now between he and his leader. Timebringer closed his eyes and finally spoke.

"I...I think I like you. Alot."

Timebringer could actually feel the insides of his ears turn bright red, feel them burning with embarrassment and nervousness. But he also felt light inside, feeling better that he finally said something. If he kept it bottled up much longer, he would have probably exploded.

The multicolored tom glanced up at his leader, his eyes traveling down the white stripe down her back, how it made her almost glow in the dark. Other than that and the silver rings around her eyes, that was all he could see of her. I hope I don't end up being an idiot for doing this...[/blockquote]

[xx_Ƨǃlvawisha_?]

Wishstar was speechless.
Questions began whirling through her mind....He liked HER? Wishstar? A lot? How can that be? She was so vacant..so simple, so calm..What did he see in her?

The wildly colored she-cat shook her head to clear it. She was pushing the limits of her laid back, leisurely attitude. Her fur grew hot with embarassement. She looked at Timebringer, speechless still. What should she say? Did she like him back? Yes.. No.. Maybe..

"I don't know for sure if I feel the same about you..But I think I like you too.."

[}xx.£eaƒm∞n , ,]

Timebringer

[/font][/blockquote]

Timebringer squeezed his eyes shut as he stared at his paws in his mind, suddenly wishing he had kept his mouth shut. Why, why did I have to go and blow it?! Why?! But as the silence drew on, Timebringer opened one eye and glanced at his leader, listening to her speak. Well at least she likes me to some degree...That's something right? The eerie laughter of a kit in the distance rung hollowly around the mossy chamber. The tom flicked an ear back before refocusing on Wishstar, his heart pounding. What to do now? He wanted to dance for joy but held himself back. Instead, he simply spoke.

"That's....that's good..."

Was it really so wrong to love thy leader? It was times like this Timebringer wished StarClan could just tell him, instead of letting him find out for himself.[/blockquote]

[xx_Ƨǃlvawisha_?]

"Yes...I suppose it is..."

Could she love one of her warriors? Would she?
The silence hung over them like fog on the mountain tops. It was suffocating..
Wishstar hesitated and then leaned forward, brushing her muzzle along Timebringer's cheek lightly. Her fur was ruffled uneasily as she looked at him. Was she supposed to do that?

Uncertainty seared in her fur. This was one thing that she didn't know how to handle...

Timebringer

[/font][/blockquote]

Timebringer smiled a sheepish smile, trying to calm down his nerves. Hopefully he would start feeling comfortable in situations like this sometime soon. But today didn't seem like the day it would start.

As Wishstar brushed against him briefly, Timebringer's ears went even redder than before, and he looked away embarrassedly before standing and rubbing his face against hers, purring shyly. She was giving him a chance, and that was all that mattered to him. A chance for Timebringer to finally be happy...[/blockquote]

[xx_Ƨǃlvawisha_?]

Wishstar smiled back and looked at his ears, her smile widened even more at the sight of how red they were. She purred playfully, flicking her tail over his nose. Was this what it felt like? To have someone special? It came naturally, as if something was woken up inside her that had been buried with moons of darkness and hardship.

"Are you feeling okay?"

She mrrowed lightly, still smiling. Timebringer looked uncomfortable to her..was he sick? Her head tilted slightly as she gazed at him, uncertainty flickering in her gaze.

Now someone was there for her, she knew it now..

[}xx.£eaƒm∞n , ,]

Timebringer

[/font][/blockquote]

Timebringer smiled wider when Wishstar smiled wider. He couldn't help it. When he saw her happy, it made him happy. Her purr sounded like music in his red ears.
Those same ears perked forward as she spoke.

"As long as I'm with you I feel fine."

Timebringer mrrowed, colorful ringed tail flicking as a cave moth fluttered around. It caught his attention and he lept at it, batting at it with his multicolored paws. It twirled up into the darkness of the cave ceiling and out of sight.
Timebringer turned back to Wishstar and purred, rubbing his cheek against hers. Was this what it was like to be happy? If so, Timebringer was enjoying it.[/blockquote]

[xx_Ƨǃlvawisha_?]

Wishstar purred lightly when she saw the tom chasing after a cave moth, as if he was a kit again. She stood up and leaped after another moth, seeming to float in the air. The she-cat landed lightly on her paws, in a shaft of sunlight. Her fur lit up immediately, shining and glowing and swirling all at once. She lifted her head and looked at Timebringer, smiling.

She also felt happy, as if she was a kit again too..

[}xx.£eaƒm∞n , ,]

Timebringer

[/font][/blockquote]

Timebringer smiled rather sheepishly as Wishstar joined in on the moth chasing, and as her fur hit the light, she seemed to light up with color. Her coat didn't have as many colors as his did, but her patterns were neatly organised, one color complimenting the next. His were just wildly slapped here and there at random, like the designer of his pelt had used splatter paint. But it made him rather attractive, none the less.

Timebringer nosed his leader a moment before padding up the sharp slope to the surface, his claws out to get a grip in the angled ground. As he emerged, he spotted Swiftnose stuck in a berry tree, but it looked like Jasmineheart was going to help. Then as his coral colored eyes looked out over the hills, he saw a great anvil shaped cloud....[/blockquote]

[xx_Ƨǃlvawisha_?]

Wishstar joined Timebringer and looked over the expanse of land. She gasped as she saw the cloud, which was steadily coming closer toward them.

"Another storm.."

She mrrowed quietly, then her eyes drifted to Swiftnose in the tree. She had to get everyone inside the caves. And quickly...

"I'm going to help Jasmineheart and Swiftnose."

She mrrowed to Timebringer. The she-cat licked him breifly before streaking off toward the tree that Swiftnose was caught in.
