Rippedwhisker had trailed away from BeachClan territory, wanting to feel grass under her paws instead of the warm sand. She went into a grassy clearing, and sat down in the center of it, curling her black tail over her white and black paws. Her sun-yellow eyes looked around, and she parted her jaws to catch the scent of a RageClan cat. She didn't bristle or unsheath or claws, only waited to know if she would meet the cat.

"The scent reached Eagletalon's mouth and nose. It was BeachClan scent. Whats a BeachClanner doing out here? He asked himself, but was unable to answer. Padding through a couple of bushes, Eagletalon spotted a black and white she-cat sitting nearby. Eagletalon wondered what could have brought her here. "Hello?" He meowed, staying back a ways incase the cat was hostile towards him.

Rippedwhisker smiled friendly. "Hi. I'm Rippedwhisker, from BeachClan." She introduced herself. She silently hoped this wasn't one of those who would cry 'Rippedwhisker! I thought you were dead?' or something like that. "And you are...?"

"Eagletalon of RageClan." The tom scrutinized Rippedwhisker for a moment, then meowed, "Welcome back to the Clans then." Eagletalon looked away and sat where he was, not moving closer to the tantalizingly beautiful she-cat. I won't betray Warheart. Never in nine lives. He vowed, but doubt asked him if he could keep it.

Rippedwhisker ended up smiling, sort of surprised. No one had told her welcome back. "Same to you." She replied, looking down at her paws, away from the handsome tom. She shouldn't have any feelings toward him. Rippedwhisker heard of an Eagletalon dying in a battle fight, so this tom must've been sent back, as she had been. "How long have you been back?" Rippedwhisker asked, looking back up at him.

"How do you know whether I even left?" Eagletalon replied, trying not to smile but failing miserably. Something about Rippedwhisker made him feel alive again, after being so dead and sinful since Warheart's death.

"How would I not know?" Rippedwhisker retorted playfully, even though that probably made no sense at all.

"That I don't know." Eagletalon meowed, smiling despite his heartache. "But to answer your first question, I've been back long enough to be an apprentice and a warrior for two moons." Stealing a sideways glance at Rippedwhisker, he meowed, "And you?"

"Add a little under another moon to that and you'll have the total." Rippedwhisker told him, smiling as well. "Are you glad to be back?"

"Yes and no." Eagletalon meowed. "I love RageClan and am glad to be back in it, but the one I love..." The tom trailed off, closing his eyes and hiding the amber orbs from sight as emotion swept over his mind.

Rippedwhisker decided not to ask, not wanting to bring back any bad memories if they were bad. She felt a guilty pang of disapointment when she heard 'the one I love'.

"I can tell you're curious as to what I mean." The RageClanner meowed, sighing. "Warheart. Everyone knows her. She died recently of age. Right as I became a warrior for her, she left me. It pains me to think of her, but I always think of her." Eagletalon meowed, suddenly realizing he might be saying too much. "I hope you understand. Its not like I don't want anyone else, I just always remember Warheart first."

Rippedwhisker nodded understandingly. "I somehow..am able to relate. I mean, when I was, well, the old deputy, she--or would I say me?--had loved a loner. I still feel a sense of loss, since I heard from somewhere he died, but it's not the same as loosing someone you know personally." She meowed. "And yes, I understand, and I'm sorry to hear she died." She wanted to think of something happy right now....then a squirrel caught her eye. She dropped to a hunter's crouch, and dashed for it. It went up the tree, Rippedwhisker behind it, and it was on the edge of a branch. Rippedwhisker, still as stone, leapt for it. It jumped to another tree, and Rippedwhisker slipped from the branch, landing on her back at the foot of the tree nearby Eagletalon. "Oops." She laughed at herself, smiling.

Eagletalon peered at Rippedwhisker, niether laughing or smiling, though his eyes glowed faintly. "Here watch." He meowed, standing and padding to the middle of the clearing. There he sat, still as a stone, as the tom listened and looked around him. Something caught him from the corner of his eye, and Eagletalon pounced instantly, catching a mouse and killing it quickly.

"Good catch." Rippedwhisker smiled, flipping back onto her paws, shaking some leaves off her pelt. "Sometimes I end up just missing it. I'm more used to fishing." She meowed. She padded over to Eagletalon, sitting beside him. "So..um..do you have any siblings?" Rippedwhisker asked.
