A blurred shadow whizzed by the trees and dying bushes, long limbs skimming the ground, paws acting like a ghost with his speed. The wind blew his fur back, making him seem more slender than he already is, ears flat against his head, a lips pulled back into a smile on his maw.
He reached a clearing, where he made a small pounce, and rolled onto his back, his chest rising and falling easily as he rested. "Synyster! Where are you?"
Another black form appeared moments later through the bush, his breathing more labored than the other tom's. "Goodness, Rev, you're too fast!" Synyster grinned at his friend, who grinned cheekily back. He sat down, catching his breath, while the other race machine was back on his feet already, tail whipping around happily. "I beat you!" Rev teased playfully, smiling widely. "Shut up," Synyster retorted in a joking manner. While The Rev wandered around the grassy clearing, Synyster took in their surroundings; the normally lush green grass was browning from the lack of water, as the other plants were. He took a glance up at the sky, his hazel eyes noticing how there were light gray clouds, but rain never came.
He sighed, and then his ears pricked as he heard something. A rustle of leaves, maybe? A twig snapping? The pawsteps of another feline? He didn't know, but it was a sign that someone else was around, and maybe they'd be friendly, maybe not.
Just maybe. [/center][/blockquote] |

The dark brown paws of another feline padded along at a slow pace. His mint green eyes darted from side to side as he heard the sounds of other cats up ahead. He heard the two felines joking around, and he decided to get in on the fun. Aidan bounded into the clearing, eyes gleaming. He quickly pounced on the nearest cat, Rev, his claws sheathed.

Rev was simply standing, waiting for the lazy Synyster to get his breath back so they could continue their race, when suddenly he fell with a new weight on him. He was quick to realize it was another cat that wasn't Syn, but when he saw that this other tom's claws were sheathed, he smiled and batted the stranger in the face, claws sheathed. He laughed when Synyster joined in, bowling into them both, but then he realized he put too much force into his tumble when he was a tail-length away from Rev and Aiden, on his back and grinning stupidly, feeling like the klutz he is.

Aidan looked at the other cats, his eyes glowing as he chuckled at their antics. He stood up, shaking some loose dirt from his dark brown pelt. "I'm glad to see some cats in this forest still have a sense of humor." He meowed. "My name is Aidan, who are you two?" [/center] |

Synyster scrambled to his paws, shaking any dead grass and dust off of his fur. "Yeah, we're happy to see someone else can have some fun too. This drought seems to have everyone all pessimistic," Rev ranted, in a half-joking manner even though that was his honest thoughts. Syn shook his head and answered Aidan's question. "I'm Synyster, and this is my buddy The Rev." He nodded to his friend as he mentioned Rev. [/center][/blockquote][/color] |

"Well its nice to meet you both." Aidan meowed. "And yes, this drought has seemed to make everyone pessimistic. I'm pretty tired of it." Then to prove that he was still optimistic, the tom jumped at Synyster, bowling into his side. "I bet I can take both of you at once!" He meowed, challenging them. [/center] |

Rev grinned at the thought of a challenge, and gave a chuckle as Synyster was bowled over. "I might just take you up on that," Reverend meowed, leaping at Aidan with enthusiasm, Synyster quickly joining back in as they all tussled around. But within moments, Rev had been kicked accidentally by Syn, and he stumbled backwards into a bush--but he didn't land in any old bush; there was an opening in a nearby stone of some sort. Curious, he peered into the dark hole. "Hey guys, come look at this! I think this is some sort of tunnel or something," he thought aloud, looking to see Synyster next to him. [/center][/blockquote] |

Aidan stood up yet again, walking over to the other two cats. He looked down at the dark hole, wondering what creature could possibly live there. Probably just a warren of rabbits. He thought, mint green eyes filled with curiosity. As he stood there, not speaking, a gray femme padded over to his side. "Kind of creepy, isn't it?" She meowed, looking at all of the toms, her gaze staying on Rev the longest. "My name is April." Aidan nodded before introducing both himself and his companions. [/center] |

"Hello April, I'm Synyster and this is The Rev," Synyster introduced himself and The Rev, seeing his friend temporarily lost his tongue as the femme approached them. For a moment, everything was quiet, until Rev's face contorted for a second, and then he broke the silence when a loud Achoo! rang out, echoing slightly in the tunnel before them.
Rev felt his fur burn as he sneezed, seeing as he had to be the one to break the silence that had settled itself comfortable between everyone. He took a breath and then meowed, "Well are we all going to stand around and stare into this until another cat comes by, or are we going to explore?" A smirk wound it's way onto his lips as he crept foward, placing each paw in front of him steadily as he let his eyes adjust to the darkness of the unknown hole. He kept his jaws slightly parted, scenting the stale scent of rabbit. Darnit, we missed lunch. He thought as the though of something to eat appealed to him. [/center][/blockquote] |

April chuckled a bit as the tom sneezed loudly, breaking the silence. She watched as he entered to hole, then she slowly began to follow him. The femme looked around, waiting for her eyes to adjust to the darkness. "I wonder if there are still rabbits in here." She murmured, tongue fishing out to lick her maw. "I haven't had a nice juicy rabbit for a long time."
Aidan looked over at Synyster, still outside of the hole. "You first, or me?" He asked, gesturing toward the tunnel with his tail. [/center] |

Synyster's lips curved up in a smirk. "Age before beauty," he teased playfully, hazel audits alight with the optimistic attitude from earlier. "Eh, I'll go first." He followed the two other felines, taking a glance back to see Aidan.
The mere thought of his jaws clamping onto a plump, juicy rabbit made his mouth water a little; he closed his jaw to swallow some saliva before parting them slightly, in case of any sudden scents. "Mmhmm, that sounds great right now..haven't had a proper rabbit in a while," he murrowed, not really paying attention to what he was saying. [/center][/blockquote] |

Aidan chuckled quietly, following Synyster into the tunnel. His eyes quickly adjusted to the darkness as he followed the silhouettes of the other cats. He heard the other two conversing up ahead, his mouth watering at the mention of a rabbit.
April nodded in agreement, even though she knew Rev couldn't see the gesture. She opened her maw slightly, hoping the scent of the rabbit would grown stronger. [/center] |

The Rev grew slightly uncomfortable with the new silence, but his discomfort was joined by alarm when a new scent hit the roof of his mouth. It wasn't any sort of prey; it was a Clan scent. Knowing they were too far to turn back now, he paused for a moment, then continued on. "Keep your guard up," he warned the others, his pace picking up a little bit as they neared the source of the smell, the muscles throughout his body tensing. [/center][/blockquote] |

April tensed up as well as the scent hit the roof of her mouth. It was Rageclan. Other loners had warned her about this clan. Although some of the felines in the clan were nice, some of them hated non-clan cats with a passion. "I think that is Rageclan." She murmured, trying her best to stay quiet. "We'll have to watch out."
Aidan tensed up as well, hearing the other cats ion front of him. Rageclan. Such horrible stories he had heard about this clan. A shiver went through his body as he continued walking. [/center] |

Synyster tensed as well, him and The Rev have heard stories about this Clan as well. When light came into view, he saw the others all file out of the tunnel, and he squinted his eyes as he walked onto Clan territory, but then opened his eyes normally as he adjusted to the brightness of the sun. The Clan's scent overwhelmed him at first, and he looked over at Rev, whose fur along his spine was rising slightly, his long limbs bent as he crouched, considering they were on land that they could get killed on.
