Soulstar smiled "A few days" he repeated as she moved towards the edge of the rock. Watching her with a keen eye he padded to her side as she leaped, his jaws parted in a gasp as she splashed into the water. Launching himself off of the rock he landed next to her and licked her shoulder, "So much for not falling in again!" he joked. He watched as her fur spiked and he stepped forward licking the back of her ears. "No time to dry..." he murmured.[/color]

((So short x.x sorry))

[♣[Clover]♣]

"Yeah," she mewed softly and then smiled up at him. "Don't worry about it, though. I'll get straight back to camp and see Silvermask and then go dry off in my den," she promised, shaking her pelt again and trying to keep herself from shivering. She wasn't very big in the first place so she got very cold very quickly when she got wet. She thought she was doing a good job of keeping herself still, but she could never be sure. "I'll see you soon, then." Cloverstar reached up to touch noses with Soulstar before bounding forward a few lengths. She paused and looked back in case he had anything extra to say.

Soulstar flinched away as she shook her coat, water splattering onto his pelt. He pawed at the ground as she padded forward, "Well, make sure that you get plenty of rest." As she padded away he called "No patrols for you tomorrow!" He was only half joking of course. With a flick of his tail he moved towards the Thunderclan territory, then she paused and looked at him. "Love you" he whispered before turning and plunging into the thick leafy undergrowth of Thunderclan territory.[/color]

((Continue this thread as in a few days later or end and wait?))

[♣[Clover]♣]

Cloverstar purred and nodded. "Silvermask might even be enforcing that for you," she called and smiled slightly. "Love you," she managed to get out before he dashed back for his own territory and she did the same, trying to keep her shivering paws steady enough to run. That was when something caught her attention: prey. She knew she'd promised to return right to camp, but she couldn't just pass up food for her Clan in the middle of winter. She dropped into a crouch and quickly caught the mouse she'd heard. But the prey noises kept alerting her and before she knew it, the sun had set and the moon was almost halfway up in the sky.

She gasped when she finally focused on the world and not the hunt and noticed how dark it was and how cold she was. She suddenly started shaking again and quickly gathered her prey and returned to camp. She could feel parts of her fur that had frozen and it was only partially dry because of her body heat, but the cold air and snow had kept her pelt damp and spiked. She stumbled only once as she returned to camp and dropped her prey on the pile. She didn't bother going to get checked up by the medicine cat, but instead she figured it would be enough to just go to her nest and try to get some sleep.

Days past

He milled around camp for approximately three days, he had lost count. He hunted, on the Windclan side of course. He set up patrols, he watched kits play outside their dens and most of all he laid on the large moss colored rock they called the High stone. He pawed at the old claw marks from a battle long past. He gazed at the shining stars wondering if Starclan, Crescentclan, whatever clan, was ashamed that he had made the choice to love Cloverstar, if it was a choice at all. One day he even hung out around the apprentice den, remembering when he was an apprentice, then, sadly, he remembered his father. He paced in front of the Highstone, his tail tip twitching. He remembered when he threw his cruel father into the river; he drowned shortly after that. A shiver ran down his spine as he gazed up to the stars, was his father in Crescentclan now? A panicked feeling crossed through his heart, Mousedung.

Present

Wiry frames of dead bushes scratched against Soulstars pelt as he trotted towards the Shadowclan boarder. He paused next to an old fallen birds nest, taking his time to 'look around' to see if any birds had fallen to the ground. Really he was checking to see if he was being trailed. Finally he looked around and parted his jaws, he backtracked and went around a different trail to confuse anyone that was following, finally he turned towards Four Creeks and to the shoreline. He looked over to the Shadowclan stream and swallowed nervously, finally he sat and pulled his tail around his paws, waiting to see if Cloverstar would show.

[♣[Clover]♣]

Over the passed few days, Cloverstar had stayed in camp, resting most of the time and occasionally going out to hunt. She wasn't feeling very good and she'd started to sniffle a bit, but she didn't relate it with the night she'd gone hunting with wet fur for half the night. She figured it was nothing more than a chill and so she didn't bother telling anyone. She always felt cold and was almost always shivering when she wasn't in her nest.

Today, however, she left camp and weaved all through the territory before finally making her way to Four Creeks. She made sure she had enough momentum to make it safely over the ShadowClan stream and once she landed firmly on solid ground, she made her was over to Sousltar. "Good day," she mewed quietly allowing a faint purr to rise with her greeting.

A small purr erupted from Soulstars throat as he watched Cloverstar emerge from the forest. He kneaded the ground and unwrapped his tail from around his paws and stood. "Mornin'!" He called as she padded up to him. He waved his tail back and forth and gazed at her coat, she seemed well but something smelled different. "So you got dry the other day right? No one asked?" He swished his tail nervously and looked around.[/color]

((I IS BACK!))

[♣[Clover]♣]

Cloverstar smiled when Soulstar approached and nodded in response to his question. "Yes," she mewed, flinching on the inside at the lie. "I grabbed some prey on the way home, so any cat who was awake thought I'd just been hunting," she explained and looked up at him. "What about you? Did anyone ask why you were out so long?" she asked.

Soulstar gazed at Cloverstar as she spoke, listening to every word as if he could hold onto it for forever. "Well it is a good thing you hunted before you got back." He smiled and glanced back towards his camp. "Well no one asked because I showed up with a mouse and said I was one a patrol. I didn't like lying but I didn't have a choice now did I?" He turned his gaze back to hers before speaking again, "We're crazy for doing this you know, if anyone finds out." Then he paused and looked towards the sky, Starclan could see them what did they think?[/color]

[♣[Clover]♣]

Cloverstar watched Soulstar with abnormally bright eyes. She smiled slightly when he talked about lying and nodded. "It's not as if you could tell them you were out with me, now could you?" she purred. She waited for a moment before answering his next question. "Yes, I know. But it's worth it," she mewed quietly and looked up to him with a smile.

((In the most recent book that I forget the name of when those cats got sick, it said their eyes were bright, so...yeah ^-^

Fail post is fail. Sorry, it's early.))

Soulstar gazed at Cloverstar, his mind lost for a moment. He flicked his long golden and black tail around to flick it through the air next to Cloverstars shoulder. "No. If I told them that it would be like dealing my own demise." He gave a small purr and looked up towards Shadowclan. "So how is Shadowclan? Nothing bad happening I hope." He sat, curling his long tail over his paws before speaking again. "Thunderclan is great, we just have to hope no one gets brave enough to try and come out here to find a Thunderclan and Shadowclan scent mixed." His tone was amusing and light. [/color]


((lol, it's fine))

[♣[Clover]♣]

Cloverstar sighed when Soulstar asked about ShadowClan. "My warriors have been reporting areas of the territory that are turning into sinkholes. It's getting kind of dangerous and I'm sure it can't have a positive affect on the prey supply," she muttered and shook her head. "Oh well, I'm sure it won't be to troublesome," she said with a laugh. Her laugh half turned into a cough which she tried to hide by clearing her throat.

((-shot- Another fail post T-T))

Soulstar gazed towards the Shadowclan territory. Sinkholes? What would happen if a cat was to step into one? Would he be sucked in or just hurt? A shiver ran down his pelt just thinking of it. He turned and gazed back at Clover as she coughed. His eyes narrowed and he took a small step towards her. He sniffed at her pelt. "Clover you...smell different". He tried to press his muzzle to her forehead. But even if he wasn't able to just being close he felt the excess heat coming from her body. He took a step back and gazed at her with concerned eyes. "Are you sick?"

((Do we want to add the wolf in here to add interest?))

[♣[Clover]♣]

Cloverstar gave a faint mew of protest when Soulstar tried to feel her forehead with his muzzle. "No I don't," she insisted when he commented on her scent. She looked a bit guilty. She didn't need him worrying about her along with her Clanmates. She was sure that Silvermask had already guessed she was sick and that was about all the fussing she could handle. "N-no," she mewed when asked if she was sick. While answering, however, she couldn't bring herself to look Soulstar in the eyes.

"The apprentices of ShadowClan finally have mentors," she mewed brightly in an attempt to change the subject and hide a sniffle.

((We could have it be the part where Silvermask followed Cloverstar and is attacked by the wolf if it's alright wif Deathy ...))
