ZEROWiNG * windclan

A tom padded through the long wing swept grass without a care. He was lost in his memories, coming near to the border. Normally Zerowing was a dedicated clan warrior who wouldn't stop working until the clan was supplied and content. But the fresh kill pile was well stocked and the elders and other cats were quite happy. The midnight black male was now near to the windclan borders. His meduim length fur was buffeted savagely by the strong wind but he embraced it with joy. Nothing could smite his happiness. He was content in Windclan. He had kind clanmates, a great leader, and most of all Soaringfeather. She was such a nice and loving she-cat. He would go to the ends of the earth for her. Zerowing now shook all thoughts from his head and sat down. He closed his eyes and listened to all the world around him.

The long thin grass gently rubbing agents each other. The wind softly whispering hardly audible things in his ears. A tiny sparrow chirping it's lovely song. The tom stopped rigid as he felt eyes pressing into his back. He tensed but then relaxed as to show to realization of another presence. The black tom readied himself and then whipped around with the speed of a snake. His kept his claws sheathed though but moved like lightning. He pounced quickly into the long grass that was behind him. He then felt the press of flesh and fur benieth his paws. The body started to fall backwards and zero heard a starlted yowl. He then scented windclan. The tom was now utterly confused. He awaited to see who he had caught.

Ferretpelt let out a yowl of surprise, but dug his claws in the ground so he wouldn't fall. It had been his every intention to put Zerowing to work, until the mouse-brain had jumped him. Snarling, the sleek tom shook the dark warrior from his cream fur and whipped around o face him. Icey eyes blazing, Ferretpelt flexed his claws.
"Idiot!" he snarled. "Ever do that again and I'll flay you. I don't lie."

[owly ✿]

Zerowing's thoughts were scrambled. Ferretpelt had been sneaking about? What for? He was his clan mate. The midnight black tom was pushed violently off the other tom. He stood back. He knew Ferretpelt. Very ill-tempered and controlling you might say. He was also the shadow of Windstar most of the time. Zerowing flicked his tail and stood still as he heard Ferretpelt's vile and bitter words fly at him. Idiot! Ever do that again and I'll flay you. I don't lie. The other tom spat at him. Zero stifled a laugh despite the conditions. The other feline was so uptight and acted so cold...yet Zerowing was undaunted by his behavior. He simply blinked and looked calmly at Ferretpelt.

Oh will you? What would our Windstar say about that I daresay. I don't imagine she likes the idea of Ferretpelt, the ever helpful warrior, clawing up Zerowing. I wouldn't normally jump upon another cat Ferretpelt. Of course most cats don't normally go slinking along like snakes. I think I have the right to be wary of a spying cat. The tom said all of this in a calm and smooth voice. His lyrics did not falter once. He gazed at Ferretpelt. He revealed no emotions though. He wondered on how the hot headed warrior would react.

[Blackie]

Ferretpelt's tail swayed, but he kept his cool. Inwardly, he admitted Zerowing was right. He wouldn't earn points with Windstar if he attacked a Clanmate. And what of the black tom's accusation of sneaking? Simple, he'd ignore it. Zerowing couldn't press the matter with no proof, especially if Ferretpelt's reply was as honest as,
"Hunting, Zerowing."He kepthis voice level, with the usual ammount of hiss. He padded in a circle aound his Clanmate.
"And what were you up to, sitting stupidly?"

[owly ✿]

Zerowing listened carefully to the tom's false words. He was a snake. The ebony tom followed the other feline's movements with only his eyes. They were slitted a little, in boredom mostly. He didn't much care that Ferretpelt thought he could boss everyone around. Soon he would feel the bite of karma, his own actions tearing his world apart. He would regret it in the end. Zerowing flicked his tail lightly though as he sat and listened to the other cat's words. Hunting? Right. Zero rolled his eyes at Ferretpelt. He could see lies like a wildfire in the tom's eyes. He could read the signs. He knew that Ferret was no honest cat. He was no good to windclan. He wouldn't arouse anything though. Windstar would see it eventually. Zerowing flitted his ear as he listened to the other warrior speak again.

And what were you up to, sitting stupidly? Zero shook his head in pity almost. This cat would be kicked off his high chair soon. Some cat who had less patience then him would teach Ferretpelt. Zerowing turned to the other cat. Why must you inquire upon other cats' business? Most warriors I've known are not quite so, how should I put this, nosy. If you must know I was thinking about things. I've done all of my duties for the clan. They're content. The fresh kill pile is well stocked. Going on a once nice stroll isn't forbidden. Even you can't tell Windstar that I was committing some treachery by walking and thinking. Zero looked at the other cat still revealing no emotions. He had no idea what could make a cat so bitter but he hoped the tom would learn someday that he couldn't boss around every cat he crossed paths with.

[Blackie]

Ferretpelt's eyes narrowed. Zerowing was different, that was for sure. A cat he could admire, if he wasn't trying to better him right now. Flicking his tail dismissivley, the cream and seal tom began to turn away.
"Very well, then. I'll leave you to... rest." his ear flicked as a new idea flashed through his mind. A thought that sat well with his ambitions. Looking over his shoulder, the tom pierced Zerowing with his blue gaze.
"Unless, in peaceful rest, you would like to go on an unofficial patrol with me?"
