A New Home

[Ghost]

"I never wanted to be a kitty-pet!" screached the angry cat. Calming down, so not to scare Brownpaw, he smiled. "I just want to be like a Cln cat... but with no obligations. I want to be free... free of a code. I want to be able to mate with who I want... I want to be able to do anything!"

[brownie]

"Well, I don't know about Mating with who you want, Ghost, for the she-cat has to love you back," Brownpaw mewed, keeping calm at his screeching reply. "But a Warrior Code is what keeps us different from the Rouges..." Brownpaw drifted off. My Father "And BloodClan."

[Ghost]

Ghost only ignored part of her comment. "Warrior Codes are nothing... theyare broken over and over, they stop true love, and.. they limit freedom. Is that what you want?"

[brownie]

"Are you suggesting something, Ghost?" Brownie whispered softly, moving closer to the calico tom. The seductress purred slowly, and quietly, her orbs gazing up at Ghost as she spoke. Showing that you like someone is easy, and faking it even easier, for afterall, Brownpaw had had much practice with Silverpaw and Hawkpaw, her-former-crush-before-realising-that-he-was-her-cousin.

[Ghost]

(( I like your long word at the bottom.. lol))

"Me.. suggest something." He looked at her, eyeing every move. "Never." There was a hint of sarcasm in his words. "I am just saying that the Warrior Code really isn't the best way of.. well, living."

[brownie]

"Come now, Ghost," Brownie mewed, pressing herself against him, concealing the disgust she felt at letting herself sink so low as to pretend to betray Silverpaw. "I can tell that you are hinting something."

[Ghost]

As the litle brown she-cat began to get close, Ghost licked her. "Brownpaw.. do you feel something for me?" he asked suddenly.

[brownie]

The lick was a shock to Brownpaw, and ,by instinct, the pretty tabby leapt back, her fur fluffed up. Quckly, the Apprentice deliberately relaxed, so that her fur fell back into its usual smooth position. "I am a mere Apprentice, Ghost," Brownpaw mewed, looking him in the eye. "Not an adult."

[Ghost]

Ghost looked suspiciously at Brownpaw as she jumped back. [Something isn't right,] he told himself. "But, Bronwpaw, if you joined me as a loner, age doesn't matter. You could be an elder."

[brownie]

Brownie snorted at this ridiculous thought, c o c k i n g her head to one side she gazed at Ghost, a quizical expression on her face. "Age does matter, Ghost. I am far too young to even consider that, and besides, I would never leave WindClan, nor betray Silverstar"

[Ghost]

"Brownpaw, Brownpaw, I am sure Silverstar would not mind; you aren't even WindClan. You were taken in... and can be taken out." Ghost stood, wide eyed, and expressionless.

[brownie]

At his careless words, Brownpaw's lip curled into a snarl and she hissed menacingly at Ghost, her orbs narrowed. Never had someone insulted her position in WindClan, and she brimmed with hostility. "You say I am expendible," Brownpaw hissed, "My Father, Darkfur, was born of WindClan. He may have been a Rogue when I was born, and my Mother was a Kittypet, but I am tied to WindClan in a way you could only dream of."

[Ghost]

Ghost looked shocked as the little brown cat became big and fierce. "Calm down, there." He eyed her, hoping to get a good response. "So your father was WindClan, what I am saying is that you are barely it... your father didn't exaclt like it... why shgould you?"

[brownie]

"Don't you dare say that I am like my Father!"[/b] Brownpaw screamed at the offending calico Ghost who stood before her. "He stood and watched while Nightspirit tried to kill me! If it hadn't been for Savannahheart I would be dead, and no thanks to my Father. I love him unconditionally, but I am not like him."

[Ghost]

Ghost began to circle around Brownpaw. "But your looks say otherwise." He bgean to laugh. "My dear friend, you do not understand life. The Clan cats will never accept you... you will never find love. Your sister will nver find love. You will all beforgotten. Unless you join me. We can be remembered as the best!"

//-> Now he has lost it... lol ;D//

[brownie]

His cold cruel words were reoding away at Brownpaw's temper as she stood before him. "Fool, my Sister is a Medicine Cat, so she is forbidden," The tabby Apprentice's orbs were narrowed as she continued, "And I already have feelings for Silverpaw, and he returns them."

[Ghost]

Ghost froze. So she does like him, he told himself. "Oh.." Ghost turned around, too sad to say anything for a while. "Leave me."

[brownie]

"No," Brownpaw mewed, and boldly, she padded round to face Ghost.

[Ghost]

"I said,' Leave me!'" he yelled. "There is no reason for you to stay. I never want to see you... again... ever!" Tears were now flowing from his eyes as he said this. For he did want to see Brownpaw.

[brownie]

"What did I do?" Brownie mewed cooly, feeling no sympathy for the pathetic beast. Remaining where she was, the tabby's glowing orbs burned into Ghost's calico form as if she were assesing him.

[Ghost]

"Its what you didn't do..." Eyes were glowing and ears were twitching. "Its what hasn't happened."

[brownie]

"And what hasn't happened?" Brownie meowed, her voice calm as she regarded Ghost with glittering green orbs. She hated to be here, with this pathetic cat who ahd no care for the Warrior Code, but the WindClan Apprentice could remember a time when Ghost was a mere Kittypet, Forest by name, and how kind he had been.

[Ghost]

"Nothing has happened..." replied the stubborn loner. "That, once again, is my problem." His eyes were wide with sadness.

[brownie]

"What did you want to happen?" Brownie asked, mroe tentatively, as if she were encouraging a shy Kit to poke its nose out of the Nursery entreance.

[Ghost]

"You.. I wanted you." Tears flew out of his sad orbs. They were no longer the rough thing he ahd when Brownpaw had entered. They showed pain, stess, and sadness. Anguish seemed to fill his elgs and he fell to the ground, not baring to look at her a moment longer.

[brownie]

Shocked, Brownpaw contained it and deliberately relaxed, not allowing ehrself to show the tom he had startled her. "Uh..." The she-cat padded forward and rasped her tongue over Ghost's ear, comforting him, but nothing more.

[Ghost]

"But now I see you love another... and I must accept that." He moved away, not acepting another lick. "Leave, I have cause much pain."

//Like my Signature picture?//

[brownie]

"You were a great friend, Forest," Brownpaw mewed, using his old name, "But, I can't love someone like you. I'm sorry." With this said, Brownie got to her paws and padded away from the barn, heading back to WindClan territory.

((Yep.))

[Ghost]

((Wow... this was a long thread..))

Ghost watched her leave, head high. "I am sorry.. Brownpaw.." he whispered to himself. "I love.. you." Ghost put his head down, realizing that he had lost it, his only chance for love. Now Ghost realized that nobody could love him... or atleast he thought so.

He suddenly let out a piercing, menacing scream that seemed to last for so long. "Why, StarClan, why?" The angery calico jumped up, hissing. "I will get my reveng... I will... Silverpaw!" Ghost then lay his head down, and began tro sleep.
