A sleek, brown and white tom slid from an old abandoned foxhole. His blue eyes narrowed at the bright sunlight. "Another day to be bored to death" The tomcat said. His name was Oddy, though he was mighty slender and looked like he couldnt fight a normal sized cat he was very well trained when it came to fighting and hunting. "For once I'd like to have one day where I have something to do!" He said to no one in particular.
Moose, Oddy's larger brother, tackled him, laughing. Oddy batted his tummy with his small white forpaws in an attempt to get him off. Twilight came from no where and tackled Moose while Idget tackled Oddy, the two usually worked together. Oddy and Idget were the same size but Moose was much bigger than Twilight, thats when they all ganged up on him and tackled him together, laughing.
Oddy would never forget that day. It was the day before Moose fell overa cliff, his mom Idget and Twilight went to live with twolegs and his father was killed by some clan cats. He hated clan cats. Oddy was lost in his thoughts until he heard some rustling and a stick break which snapped him back to reality. Looking around suspiciously, Oddy waited for whatever it was to come out.

The gray loner Ashes was walking through the forest when she scented another cat; a tom. Her tail was dragging the ground; it was the day after her sister Molly was attacked and killed by a dog. It was hard to believe she wouldn't see her sister and best friend ever again. Ashes pushed herself through a bush and found herself in a small clearing where a cat was sitting, looking for something, or at least it looked like that to her. She stared at it; he was the same onw she had scented before. "Are you a kittypet or loner or what?" she asked him.

[ize=1]Oddy turned his ice blue eyes on her, not answering the question. Right now he didn't feel like talking to someone he didnt know. As usual his face and eyes showed no emotion, which was just how he kept it always, he rarely smiled at anyone and right now he wished that he could be laughing with his siblings again "I am Oddy, a loner" He finally answered, turning back to look at the sky "Who are you?" He asked without shifting his gaze.[/size]

"The name's Ashes," she shot back. Her green eyes went cold. "What kind of a name is Oddy? Honestly." If he's going to be rude when he doesn't even know me, she thought, then so am I.

He looked at her and blinked "Its not my real name you know, my original name was Shadow, given to me by my dead father, but my siblings called me Oddy for I was much different from them, you may call me whichever you like" Oddy made sure he carried no hint of hostility or rudeness in that sentence. It didnt matter to him whether cats called him Oddy or Shadow, as long as they called him one of the two he was fine.

"Okay, so you're Shadow or Oddy, you're a loner, and your family is...?" she broke off, waiting for him to finish.

Oddy suddenly held his breath, keeping down the sudden stab of pain he felt "My family....is dead" He managed to choke out, still showing no emotion on his face. "They....they were killed by clan cats" Images of Moose, Twilight, Idget, Baby, and Nighttime came flooding back to him.

Ashes eyes widened. "I'm so sorry," she whispered. "My mother and father were killed by the Clans, and my sister Molly was killed by a dog."

He simply narrowed his eyes "Then we have something in common, neither of us have a family" The last she-cat he'd seen around these parts had been Bluewave, a loner that decided to join clans, he'd hoped that Bluewave wouldve stayed a loner and helped him but it didnt matter now.

Ashes blinked. "No, we don't," she whispered. Hmm, she thought, I guess he isn't so bad after all. She sighed, then said, "I never really knew my parents, so I wasn't all that sad when they were killed. My sister Molly was my best and only friend, though. I miss her so much." The last part she said more to herself than to Oddy.

Oddy had nothing to say. Both their families were killed and thats what made a fraction of them the same, they were both alone. "Tell me, if you had to choose, would you rather be a clan cat or still have your family?"

"I'd choose my family over any Clan cat!" she screeched scornfully. "The Clans killed my parents. I despise them."

Oddy flinched "Well then..." There was nothing more he had to say to this she-cat.

"I suppose I should leave now," Ashes mewed quietly. "See you around, I guess."

"I very highly doubt it, why did you bother to show me that you were standing there? You could've said nothing and moved on yet you didnt" Most cats didnt like him for his stubborn determination and emotionless attitude so he didnt have many friends.
