watching the sky dance[cheetahpaw]

[owly ✿]

Charlie's gray pelt blended in to the dark shadows. His bright yellow eyes watched the sky as the bright lights flashed by. The sky danced with shades of green, blue, red, and purples. This is what he called sky dancers, really the northern lights, they were a beautiful mix of flashing and winding colors. The young tom wrapped his tail around his paws and twitched his whiskers. Charlie closed his eyes softly.

Cheetahpaw walked through the plains, the colors of the sky dancers seeming to dance off her tawny and black pelt. Her ears occasionally flicked as she heard a rustling, but she ignored all the sounds. She was intent on sneaking up on someone...

Cheetahpaw could barely make out Charlie's gray form in the darkness of the night. But she could see him, and had a good feeling that this would be a good oppurtunity to sneak up on him. Her amber eyes glinting mischeviously, she pounced, aiming to land on Charlie's back.

Charlie hissed in surprise as he felt weight pushing down on him. He quickly realized it was cheetahpaw and laughed, she was on top of him. The gray tom looked up, "So you thought you could sneak up on me? I don't think so!" he meowed and slid out of cheetahpaw's grasp. Charlie turned and came leaping towards her.

[Cinder.and.Flightfall]

Cheetahpaw whirled around just in time and managed to dodge Charlie. Her eyes danced with laughter, and her tail lashed playfully.

"Slowpoke!" She teased, preparing to lunge again, when her eyes landed on the Sky Dancers. She was mesmerized by how beautiful they were, for she had never seen them before. Cheetahpaw watched the colors in awe, her heart pounding in her chest.

"Oh no you don't!" he hissed playfully. Charlie then saw what cheetah was looking at and followed her gaze to the sky dancers. They were twirling and bouncing around in the sky, they were two colors. Bright yellow and dark amber orange. Two colors that normally meant nothing to him but now did, they were the colors of his and cheetah's eyes. 'weird.' he thought to himself, pelt bristling at the oddity of it all.

[Cinder.and.Flightfall]

Cheetahpaw's eyes followed the colors, which had just changed to bright yellow, and a dark orange amber. She seemed to be hypnotized, for the dark amber color was exactly like her eye color. She turned her head and gazed into Charlie's eyes, and saw that they were bright yellow. Her heart seemed to skip a beat. Could this be... a sign? Cheetahpaw really did like Charlie, maybe even more then a friend, but she was nervous to admit it. She didn't want to wreck the friendship they had.

"Wow..." She murmured, lost in her thoughts.

" T-the sky dancers are the same colors as our eyes, weird." Charlie said memorized by the moving colors in the dark night sky. His yellow eyes glinted in the darkness. He stood up and streached his long claws on the barren ground. "I wonder why?" The gray tom asked the cheetah-like she-cat.

[Cinder.and.Flightfall]

Cheetahpaw shrugged her shoulders softly. Her long claws unsheathed in and out nervously, and her eyes were contiously darting from Charlie to the sky-dancers. She looked at her paws, trying to think. Was it a sign? Were StarClan trying to tell them something? Cheetahpaw looked up at the sky-dancers, and watched as the yellow and amber colors mingled together, creating beautiful waves of color. Her heartbeat quickened. It was a sign, it had to be.

"D-Do you think it's... I dont know, a sign?" Cheetahpaw asked.

[owly ✿]

" I-i don't know, is it from starclan you think? maybe we should go ask medicine cat." he said. Charlie looked around shyly. He really liked cheetah more than a friend and was afraid she didn't feel the same. "I really don't know."

[Cinder.and.Flightfall]

"I dont know either..." Cheetahpaw murmured. Her gaze continued to follow the lights as they moved. The colors didn't change, they stayed the dark amber color and the bright yellow color. Cheetahpaw couldn't believe it herself. It was too amazing, too real. It had to mean something, but what? The only thing Cheetahpaw could think of was that... she and Charlie should be together. Her heart pounded as she looked at Charlie. What else could it mean?

[owly ✿]

"Do you think it is about me and......" Charlie asked the orange tawny colored she-cat. They had grown really close since he had joined the clan. Chalie's gray pelt ruffled in the wind. The few leaves bounced around in the wind and he followed them to the sky dancers. The leaves followed the path of the two colors in the sky and blew strait down to between him and cheetahpaw.

[Cinder.and.Flightfall]

"It... might be about me and... me and you" Cheetahpaw mewed softly. Her pelt ruffled in the wind that blew, but the leaves didn't even budge. They stayed between her and Charlie, not even fazed by the wind. Cheetahpaw looked up at Charlie, her eyes holding confusion, and if you looked close enough you could've seen a flash of love go through her eyes. But to have been able to see it, you would've had to have some sort of super vision.

Charlie's pelt was bristling in the wind that was quickly rising strength. The leaves still didn't budge a little bit. 'Was starclan trying to tell him something?'. The wind was now howling and the two leaves were still not moving, 'maybe we shouldn't be together.' he thought. The wind stopped howling and he heard a voice unknown to him, but his sister creek would know it. The voice was that of the silver she-cat that congratulated her on saving cheetahpaw. The soft, kind voice spoke to him. ' Starclan is trying to tell you to be with cheetahpaw, we can tell you love her and it is obvious that you were meant to be together." the voice disappeared and Charlie was awoken from his thoughts. He looked at cheetah.

[Cinder.and.Flightfall]

The wind was now blowing so hard Cheetahpaw was nearly lifted off her paws. She unsheathed her claws for better balance, and yet the wind still blew her over onto the ground. Cheetahpaw landed with a thud, and for a moment didn't move. Then the pain came. Her whole body started aching as she tried to stand up again. Just as she got up, the wind blew her right back down, and Cheetahpaw felt as if the wind were dragging her. What kind of storm was this? Cheetahpaw jumped back to her feet and ran back to Charlie, her body shaking from the cold of the wind.

Charlie edged closer to cheetahpaw. His pelt bristled. "Lets go!" he said and hissed as he tripped over a rock. His face was bloody.

[Cinder.and.Flightfall]

Cheetahpaw gasped as Charlie fell. She tried to help him up, ignoring the blood on his face. She had to get him to safety, but camp was so far away it could take hours. Cheetahpaw lifted Charlie up, and supported him with her shoulder.

"Are you ok?" She asked, her voice sounding like a helpless kit's voice. She was worried for her friend. What if they didn't make it back in time?

[owly ✿]

"Yeah, I'm alright cheetahpaw." he said and bolted forward. His white paws flew over the ground. "Come on!" he said as he turned around, and he bolted once more away.

[Cinder.and.Flightfall]

Cheetahpaw bolted off as well, but her light form and hollow bones made it hard to run against the wind. A couple times she'd be lifted right off her paws, and had fallen with a loud thud. Cheetahpaw continued to run, her legs nothing but a blur.
