Socializing

[Dancing in the Darkest Sky]

She had never felt more alone, more isolated. She was surrounded by cats. And yet she was alone. No one really talked to her and she was so bored. She tried to stay in things but she never really was very focused. She probably needed to work on that. Yet she was so alone. *I hope someone comes* she thought.

Pale colored paws stepped lightly on the worn windblown ground. Brilliant blue eyes glinted in the pale light as the she-cat slowly padded out onto the plains. Mousebrained Ferretpelt had to go on and ruin the entire bloody meeting. She swished her tail to her side and flicked her ears back, sinking her long hook like claws into the dry Windclan ground. If only he hadn't shown up! Yesterday's clan meeting had ended in shambles when the new deputy had been named and a single cat had not liked it. The young leader looked up towards the sky and snorted, luckily, however, the sky had been clear.

Thank you for believing in my choice Starclan. She flicked her ears forward and her muzzle lifted into the air again when the scent of another cat drifted into Windstar's vicinity. A small smile crossed the tan colored she-cats face, Windclan. She quickened her pace and pushed her way through the stiff wheat grass. She nodded to Darkeststorm. "Darkeststorm, how are you this.....fine morning?" She pulled her tail to her side and wrapped it around her back right leg, waiting for an answer from the quiet warrior.

Darkeststorm jumped a good foot in the air. She had been so caught up in her own thoughts that she had not noticed the queen. She whipped around and when she saw it was Windstar she lowered her head.
"It would be better if it were storming, of course I am slightly prejuiced," she responded. "How are you tody Windstar? I heard the meeting. That Ferretpelt is quite loud isn't he." Then she remembered who she was speaking to and dropped her eyes. She was still not used to talking to leaders. Where she had come from she had never needed to worry. Now she wondered if she over thought things. It was true that she had heard the meeting. Ferretpelt had been making some fuss about Ravenkit err quill being named deputy. In all honesty Darkeststorm believed that he deserved it entirely. Being forgotten by the leader could not have been easy. Imagine being a kit until you were full grown. That would be unbearable.

The tan she cat gazed at the warrior as she babbled on. Ah Ferretpelt, you seem to cause loads of problems don't you? She nodded slowly, then smirked. "He is, he is" Then she realized Darkeststorm dropped her eyes, to this Windstar sat down and gazed at the other she-cat for a long moment. "You don't need to advert your eyes Darkeststorm. I am a cat as you are." She flicked her tail away from her side, sending it to sweep the dirt slowly. She sighed and looked around, "So what were you doing out here? By yourself?" She looked up to the warrior, kindness shining in her eyes.[/color]

Darkeststorm felt the pricklings of heat as a flush spread up her face. She knew that she had done something wrong. She looked up and first the first time examined the young she-cat, well Darkeststorm was young herself so the leader was probably actually older than her.
"Sorry," she meowed to the leader,"It's just I've never had to worry about leaders or anything, I've always been a loner. I have no idea what I am doing. I have problems talking to cats and I am too self-consious. I don't know if I am doing something right or not. I try to follow the warrior code, but I never had to before. I try to believe in Starclan but it is so hard. I want to, more than anything I have ever wanted, more than I want to have a mate and kits. That is how much I want to believe in Starclan. I just seem to be unable to. But never did I ever think that I would actually be talking to a leader. From what I have heard about leaders they seem to be absent a lot but your, not. You are talking to me, one of the lowliest cats in the clan. I don't understand. I have seen so many tribes and clans during my short life and yet these are the only clans in which the common cat has a say in the ruling of the clan. It is so different. And most clans would have driven me out. Here a group of loners lives just down the river and they stay there. Other places they would have been driven out so long ago. I like it here its just so, so different," Darkeststorm realized she had been babbling and stopped abrubtly. She gulped air while she waited for Windstar to respond.

Windstar's tan ears flicked back as a small gust of wind buffeted the two cats. She sat there, calm, as she listened to what Darkeststorm had to say. In a lot of ways they were similar, personality wise, being quiet in all. However the main difference was that Darkeststorm was a loner before, Windstar? Windstar's genes went back to the beginning of the clan. She nodded as she talked about Starclan, every cat that wasn't born a clan cat had to go through the same thing. "I don't have a problem if you don't believe in Starclan Darkeststorm. But I would keep that from other cats if I was you, they might think something different." After that she pulled her tail to her other side and spoke again, "Every place is different." She smiled, "And I won't drive you out."

Darkeststorm nodded. Yes keeping the fact that she didn't really believe in Starclan a secret would be good. Still she was glad that she had met the leader. She seemed nice enough. Perhaps even a close friendship could develop.
"I have heard a lot about here. Could you tell me something about your clan? The stuff I have heard can't be true. Its against the warrior code for medicine cats to have kits isn't it. I have heard that Badgersoul did have a kit. That could be a rumor I guess but still."
