Ooh, {{scary] (open)

[Cinder.and.Flightfall]

Pumafang felt a small jolt of relief as Shatter reluctantly agreed to let it slide. He had thought that, since clearly Shatter and Spook knew each other from somewhere that Shatter would be easy on them. But he did not like the distrusting tension he felt in the air. Pumafang couldn't help but feel a bit of anger towards his fellow clanmate, for she was sticking her nose where it didn't belong. Puma was the type of cat that enjoyed his privacy, but in order to keep Shatter silent of this meeting for awhile he kept his mouth shut; no sense causing an arguement at this moment. Now he knew that he'd have to officially say goodbye to Spook, in order to keep suspicion away from the two of them. But as soon as the thoughts reached his mind, he wished they hadn't. There was something about Spook... Puma felt for some reason that he could trust her. He hadn't wanted the time at Snakerocks to end. But it was best for both if, for now, he just said goodbye.
"Well then, I suppose we should be heading back to camp," he mewed after a moment, barely managing to keep the strain from his voice. He had heard Shatter's command, but decided to ignore it and just repeat it himself. No way was he taking orders from a cat younger then him. His eyes moved to Spook, making it only visible to her that a flash of regret had shot through them. If there were some way he could meet Spook again... well, Puma would give anything for that.
"Bye Spook," he mewed, unable to keep his voice cold but still managing to keep it rather unemotional.

- - - -

Something wasn't right. Riverpaw's eyes narrowed, moving now from Pumafang to Spook. What was his brother up to? Whatever it was, Riverpaw wanted to find out. He didn't trust this Spook cat for reasons unknown to him; maybe it was just overprotectiveness of his brother. He didn't want to see his brother getting hurt by a forbidden relationship. His mind momentarily wandered back to the day at the RiverClan border, when he had met Icepaw... quickly he shook the thought from his mind. That meant nothing.. did it? Everything was just too much for Riverpaw to take in at the moment, and he was relieved by both warriors' decision to return to camp.

[Spook]

Spook felt anger rushing through her small body. Easily remembering how she had been when she had last met Shatterglass, the BloodLust effortlessly rose in her. But she couldn't become a monster infront of Pumafang. Not in front of him. If she let her Blood rule, she wouldn't only kill Shatter, she would end up killing Riverpaw and Pumafang too. She couldn't do that. So instead she held it back. But she was still as cold as an iceburg when she spoke to Shatterglass. "It's about time that I left as well, Clannies. I will go and not look back at your ignorant corpses." Putting on a show for the two...intruders... of her and Puma's conversation, she was acting very loner-like. She picked herself back up and with a cold smile on her face she turned her back on Shatter. The number one rule never to do with an enemy cat. Slinking around Riverpaw and rubbing up against Pumafang, in a very flirtatious manner, she whispered for Puma's ears only, "Same place, same time tomorrow." Then for everyone she said," Thanks for listning, sweet, just remember, leave us be. Goodbye, Pumafang." Flicking her tail under Pumafang's chin, she stalked off. But it wasn't at all willingly. She felt as if she had just found something and it was being taken away. She walked away from the territory, hoping that Pumafang would come again. She wanted to see him again.

---

Shatterglass hissed down at the small, yet older, loner as she turned her back on the silver cat. She knew that Spook was fighting down the bloodlust, it was apparent in the way that she was tense. She hasn't changed much, Shatter thought as Spook moved away. Almost loosing her temper when the small loner curled around Pumafang, she just managed to fight it. "Convenient. Now, lets go." She knew Pumafang was deliberatly following his own orders, but still, convening with loners was dangerous. The only loners you could trust were the completly solitary ones. And Spook was a half and half loner, the most treatcherous kind. She stayed with a group, but she had no loyalty exept to herself. I was a loner, but I was far from here, and I was utterly alone. She thought. Walking away from Snakerocks, she shook her head.

---
On the edge of the territory Spook couldn't help herself, she had to look back.


((Hey Cindy! How bout we skip to the next day in this thread, k?))

[Cinder.and.Flightfall]

[[K, sounds good!]]

Pumafang held back letting out a purr as Spook wrapped around him. He heard her words, and just faintly his head nodded. He'd be here again, tomorrow. He'd risk the venom of an adder going through his veins, after all that was what Snakerocks was known for. Puma wanted to see Spook again, and he would. It didn't matter what Shatter thought of the whole situation, or Riverpaw for that matter. Puma watched Spook walk away, waiting until she was out of sight before following Shatterglass back to camp.

- - - -

Riverpaw watched with suspicious eyes as Spook wrapped herself around Puma, ears flat against his head and neck fur just beginning to rise. He knew something was up, and he didn't like it one bit. There was something going on between this loner and his brother. It was very hard to get Riverpaw angry, but Spook had done it. He didn't trust her one bit. And he would find out what was going on. He shot one more look towards Spook before following Shatter and Puma back into the forest.

- - - -

The next day Pumafang walked much more quickly. He couldn't help but look forward to his and Spook's next meeting. Puma felt a connection with Spook, he enjoyed her company and just seeing her face. And if it meant sneaking out of camp, away from a suspicious warrior and curious brother, then so be it. To Puma, it was worth it.

As soon as the warrior made it to Snakerocks he saw one of the adders. It slithered away upon seeing him though, disappearing into one of the tiny crevices in the rocks. Puma smirked. Stupid adders. They were more of a nuisance to him these days then a threat. Ignoring the hissing around him, Pumafang leapt up onto one of the rocks, ice blue eyes scanning the area for any sign of Spook.

"Spook?" he called, voice still quiet though. He didn't want any cats nearby on patrol to hear him.

[Spook]

Why do I bother making a meeting in a place where I'm going to end up being lunch, Spook thought cynically. Slipping in between rocks and snakes she had a stange feeling of happiness at the thought of seeing the Clannie. Yesterday, before her old aqquaintance and Pumafang's brother, Riverpaw, ruined their conversation, she had been happy. At least free from dark thoughts. She could never escape who she had become, a sly loner with the bloodlust, but maybe she could recover some of what she had been, She hoped. And for the first time in her life, she had looked back when leaving. She had never, ever, looked back before. Not even when she had left her first home with the White Cats.

Spook, She suddenly heard her name called from around the bend. A flash of awareness flew through her as she quickly scaled the rocks to find the source of the voice. Searching out the dark pelt and Icy eyes, it wasn't hard to find the massive tom in front of her. Tiny paws wanted to run to the tom, but instead she forced herself to walk.

"Pumafang," Spook said, her face breaking into a catty grin."You heard, thats good. I was dreading if you didn't. Or if you wouldn't be able to get away from camp." She barely resisted the urge to wrap herself around him like she had last sundown. That greeting would be far too familiar, no matter how much she wanted to.

[Cinder.and.Flightfall]

Pumafang smiled, a rare sight to see from the massive tomcat. Truthfully, it hadn't been so simple to get away from camp. Riverpaw had been bugging him most of the day, begging him to hunt with him for practically the entire morning. His brother had mentioned the near possibility of becoming a warrior, which had made Puma go hunting. He wanted to asess his brother himself, to be certain that he was ready. Pumafang hadn't been surprised to see that Riverpaw was a strong hunter, and later he would practice with fighting.
"Yes I heard," he mewed. "But of course, there was a bit of trouble. My little brother can be such a pest at times." Puma couldn't help but smile though; he cared about his brother, but it was natural for siblings to behave this way about each other.
"It's nice to see you again, Spook," Puma mewed. "But I hope you didn't go through any trouble for this little meeting. Any of your loner friends try to stop you from straying into Clan territory again?"

[Spook]

Looking quite amused, Spook mrrowed in mirth. "Does the word loner mean anything to you? We keep to ourselves, remember. And my little loner "friends" come here quite a bit themselves." It really was that easy to leave the loner territories. No one really stuck their noses in eachother's buisnesses. She expected that it would be harder in the clans. The whole, clan before everything else rule limited your options. She knew that herself. It probably could get in the way if you needed to save your skin, but the clan needed saving. Thats what differentiated her from a Clannie. Her skin above home.
What home... She mentally asked herself, but cast off the thought. She would try to be happy while she was with Pumafang. "Older siblings are a bother, but I dont know about little ones. I had one half sister, whiter than snow and very powerful in the upper groups. She was the only one who really managed to get along with me. Her little oddball she called me. But I guess, being the younger sibling, I don't know what younger siblings are like." Smiling softly, she suddenly felt something nagging in the pad of her foot. Scowling, she sat down to pull out the woodtick.

[Cinder.and.Flightfall]

Pumafang flattened his ears in embarresment for a moment, but regained composure almost instantly. Of course, he should've known that Spook would've had no trouble. His mind had been wandering so much, it had to have slipped his mind. What had his mind been on? Well, ironically it had been Spook. Ever since their meeting ended the day before, she had been the only thing on his mind. Puma couldn't remove her from his mind; when his eyes were opened he saw her pelt, shining like a flare in the sunlight. When closed, he saw her silver turqoise eyes, as if they were staring into his own ice blue eyes.
He chuckled at Spook's words, mainly to himself. "Ah, little siblings, well they're a pain," his meow was playful, almost teasing in fact. That was surprising enough to make his eyes widen briefly. Quickly the thought left his mind and he continued. "I had three; two little sisters and a little brother. They're technically my half siblings I guess. Icepaw and Snowpaw were little demons in disguise; they were always tormenting Riverpaw when they were kits. Sadly, I have to admit that they were special cats. They were beautiful; they had frosty white pelts and penetrating ice blue eyes, they were identical. Hunting came naturally to them. But just because they were special doesn't mean that I wasn't happy when they left with that she-witch Flyingbird." He snarled at the mention of his father's second mate. Puma hated most of his family, minus his own mother and Riverpaw.

[Spook]

She frowned softly at Pumafang's snarl. She felt the same way about many things. Just because some things were good, it didn't mean when they passed it was even better. Some things though, she never wanted to pass. Like these meetings with Pumafang. Ever since being seperated the day before, she had been waiting for today. ((Ahh!!! I cant think of what to write. Think! Think! Think!)) She smirked when she thought of his desciption of Flyingbird. "I am a bit of a she-witch myself, if you think about it. A loner, dangerous, quite able of seduction..."She trailed off and gave an exuse to touch Puma again. She brushed up next to him and smiled fleetingly. She had feelings for Pumafang, even if she didn't fully realize it, but even if she did she couldn't show them. She had always gotten hurt everytime she did. It was suicidal to even be this close to another cat.

((Sorry, it's so short. I am having a major brain fart. Haha.))

[Cinder.and.Flightfall]

Pumafang couldn't help but purr as Spook rubbed against him. His feelings for the small loner were strange. He definitely respected her, that was no doubt, but was there something more? Why was it that before the meeting, he couldn't get her off his mind? Why was he too, hoping that the meetings would never end. Then again, they don't have to if I become a loner.. The thought lingered in his mind, distracting him for a moment. If he became a loner, the meetings would last forever. It wouldn't be wrong for him and Spook to be together... Wait, Puma, back that up. He couldn't have just said, or thought, what he just thought did he? Pumafang didn't even know how Spook felt about him, let alone what he thought of her.
Clearly you must feel something for her, if you're willing to leave your Clan to be with her.. But then again, are you willing to leave your Clan for Spook?
"Ah, but I believe you said before that you are not like most loners," Puma meowed. "I would never think of you as a she-witch."

{{Gah, so braindead!}}

[Spook]

((lol I'm listning to the Hamster Dance. It so funny. Sorry, just a random FYI))

Chuckling as she sat herself next to Pumafang on the rock, she added. "I may be a different type loner, but that doesn't stop me from being a She-Witch. But thanks for the consent anyways." Purring at her little joke she randomly thought, What if I left the loner lands to stay with Pumafang. As soon as she thought it, she almost stopped her heart. Go back to the Clans? After being a loner? Where the Luck had that come from? She thought. Not knowing how or where that thought had come from, Spook decided it would just be better to clear her head. Shuddering slightly, she lightly shook her head.
Turning her thoughts back to the present, she asked," So, did your brother give you a hard time for being seen with me yesterday?" The sun flashed over the sparse clouds and landed on their two pelts. It left both of them flames. A dark orange Kindle and a massive black Flame. Spook's eyes were drawn to Pumafang's dark pelt. She mentally noted he was very VERY handsome, his black fur sleek and shiny, muscles rippling heavily under the layer of fur, his eyes like deep blue ice ponds and...... STOP THE THOUGHTS! Spook mentally screamed at herself. Stop checking out this tom, she scolded her mind.

((Idea! Riverpaw should be spying! And he sees Puma Spook!! Sorry, random thought. You can take the first part into account))

[Cinder.and.Flightfall]

{{Ok, sounds good! I'll have him spy on them for a little while, and maybe he can appear again after Puma Spook xD]]

The sun lit up both their pelts like flares, darkening Pumafang's cream-colored pelt to make it look more golden. Almost instantly he was aware of Spook's eyes on him, almost as if she were studying him. His pelt prickled uncomfortably, although he tried to appear like he didn't mind it. He wanted to enjoy the time he had with Spook, for who knew when their meeting would again come to an abrupt end? Then again, could they meet again? Pumafang would surely meet Spook again, but would Spook want to meet him? His mind was whirling, his head spinning. Puma finally came back down to earth to answer Spook's question.
" So, did your brother give you a hard time for being seen with me yesterday?
His mind wandered again, this time to his young brother. Riverpaw had seemed a bit... off actually that day. It was odd, especially since he had always been the cheerful type of cat.
"No, not a hard time." Puma's voice was a bit thoughtful. He didn't really say anything, which is odd, because I usually can't get him to stop talking and annoying my fur off."

- - - -

Riverpaw's eyes narrowed. His tabby pelt blended in rather well in the bracken surrounding Snakerocks, giving him excellent cover. Emerald green eyes grew cold at the sight of the loner again. What was going on? They were meeting again! The first time had obviously been a coincidence, but no way was the scenario the same this time. Puma was falling in love with the loner! There was no denying it in Riverpaw's mind.
But why? Riverpaw's thoughts were a blurr. Why is he willing to risk it all, all over again?

[Spook]

Spook thinged her head to one side. Apparently his brother had guessed that there was something up between them. She wouldn't be suprised if he was spying on them right now... ((Lol, sorry, couldn't resist)) She subconciously tasted the air and only found older scents. Turning her attention back to Pumafang she saw that he was looking at her. That made her cheeks go hot with a blush. Stretching out her long limbs she absentmindedly asked Puma. "Your little brother, how old is he?" It would be nice to know about his siblings, she thought. Spook again felt eyes in her back and turned to find the source, but once again was distracted by Pumafang. His eyes looked straight into hers and she felt her heart flitting like a little bird's.

((... I really am having problems with inspiration))

[Cinder.and.Flightfall]

[[blah same here]]

Riverpaw's shoulders grew tense. His tabby fur began to bristle uncomfortably. Slowly he started to rethink things. What would his brother think if he was caught spying on him? He'd hate him more then ever before. Riverpaw started to turn around, until he again heard his name mentioned.

---

Puma tore his icy blue eyes away from Spook's gaze. His curiousity was sparked by Spook's own curiousity. Why would she care about his brother's age? For now he brushed it off. It couldn't mean anything. It shouldn't.

"Riverpaw? Oh, probably thirteen or fourteen moons by now. I hear he's becoming a warrior soon." Pumafang mewed, mind still wandering. He couldn't help but feel uncomfortable, like he was being watched. For now he shrugged it off, feeling as though he was just paranoid.

"So," he mewed, hesitating only for a moment. "Will this, continue? I mean, will we be meeting again?"

[Spook]

Shocked by the sudden openness of Pumafang's question Spook's heart literally jumped up into her throat. Will we be meeting again... the thought made her feel warm inside. Without hesitation Spook, pressed her side to Pumafang's. Purring softly she rubbed her tiny head against his chest. "Of course. I would always want to see you again."

Spook, for once wasn't scared of this conformation. She knew she loved him, and she was pretty sure that he loved her too. She then turned and looked at him and smiled sadly. "As long as you don't get in trouble. I would hate that."

The sun was begginning to set over the forest washing everything in liquid gold. Almost the color of the femme's pelt. An indescribable shades of gold, green, black, and blue all melding to make a vibrant sunset.

[Cinder.and.Flightfall]

Pumafang's heart soared for one split second. He purred at Spook's answer, for that was what he had hoped to hear. He wanted to meet her again; needed to meet her again. Puma couldn't think of not laying eyes on her beautiful pelt, or not being able to gaze into her eyes and lose his breath at the sight of her. This was perfection. This was everything. Seeing Spook was all he'd need to get through the hard moons to come. Pumafang pressed close to Spook as well, licking her a few times atop her head.
"I hoped you'd say that," he mewed. Spook's next words made him pause for a moment. Did it really matter if he got into trouble? That hadn't ever stopped him before, had it?
"I will continue meeting you, whenever possible, no matter what the consequences," Pumafang continued, his voice strong and showing how much he meant every word.

---

Riverpaw stared in utter disbelief. His whole body suddenly felt numb. The sound of his brother's words to the loner echoed over and over in his mind. Puma would truly be meeting this loner again? Riverpaw couldn't speak, couldn't even breathe. Pumafang was throwing away everything in the Clan. If any cat caught them...
You caught them, his mind argued. Just as Riverpaw was about to confront the two again, he stopped. If he breathed a word of this to anyone, his brother would hate him forever. Besides, was this any different then him wanting to meet Icepaw again? With much reluctance, Riverpaw found himself leaving the scene and heading toward Sunningrocks. He couldn't watch this anymore. He couldn't watch his brother, the cat he had looked up to since he could walk, meet with a loner.

[Spook]

.Perfection.
.Bliss.

And ten thousand other words were shooting through the sunset femme's mind as she pressed herself close to Pumafang. Her Pumafang. Spook was positive that she could say that now. Feelings so new and some long forgotten threatened to tear her heart in two. She was overwhelmed with emotion.

No matter what the consequenses. Those words echoed in her thoughts. Then for some reason, tears began to stream down from her seemingly cataract ridden eyes. She buried her mini head in Puma's massive black chest.

"It's not fair. It's not fair that I've never known anything minutely like this before. To go from a cold, heartless loner with an infamous Bloodlust to a femme irrevocably in love in two days hurts and its not fair. But I don't care. I don't care that were not supposed to be together because of Clan rules. I don't care..." Her voice trailed off into silence.

((I had fun writing this))

[Cinder.and.Flightfall]

;;finally waking up
a twist in my story
it's time i opened up
and let your love right
through me;;

Pumafang felt Spook bury her head in his chest. The large cream tom nuzzled the smaller she-cat gently, soothingly, as he felt her tears stain his pelt. His heart hurt at the sound of her sobs, from the cool touch of her tears. Seeing Spook cry hurt him. Why? Puma knew why. He had to admit to his feelings. He loved the loner. He loved Spook. Pumafang gave Spook a soothing lick, murmuring comforting words.
"It's not fair..."
Her words were surprising, but true. Puma couldn't love a loner, it was forbidden in the Warrior Code. But like Spook had said before, he didn't care. Love was all that mattered.
"I don't care about that either, and I'm glad you don't," he mewed. "None of that matters; none of the rules, none of the boundaries. What matters is that I love you, Spook." There, he'd said it. Now he had to wait. For the first time in a long time, Pumafang was afraid. Afraid of Spook's reaction.

;;so you see
this world doesn't matter
to me. i'll give up all i
have just to breathe
the same air as you till
the day that i die.
i can't take my eyes off of
you;;

((Sorry Cinder, I'm having a major brain blockage. I have absolutly no idea what to do...))

{{It's okay ^-^ wanna just start a new thread later?}}

((Sure that sounds good to me.... when I have inspiration...))
