Shadowpaw padded along the edge of the Hot Streams, his yellow eyes fixed upon it. He was following the streams, going the opposite way the water was flowing, wanting to explore around the waterfall that is the source of the steamy water. He heard pawsteps, and froze.

Larkpaw had been trying to sneak up on Shadowpaw to practice her stalking skills. She thought that the sound of the rushing water would be enough to disguise her pawsteps. She was wrong. When Shadowpaw froze, she realized that he had detected her. She sighed and padded over to him. "Hello Shadowpaw." She meowed, her blue eyes shining. "What are you doing?"

Shadowpaw relaxed as he heard Larkpaw's voice. "Hi." He greeted. "I'm following the streams to find the waterfall. I want to explore around it." He told her, smiling. "Were you trying to sneak up on me?" Shadowpaw asked teasingly.

Larkpaw looked at the her paws, suddenly embarressed. "Yes, actually." She meowed. "I was trying to practice my stalking skills. I guess I need to get a lot more practice." Then she looked up at Shadowpaw. "Can I go with you to find the waterfall?" She asked.

Shadowpaw nodded. "Sure! And sorry, I was only joking." He meowed, and turned to walk in the same direction, with a quickened pace, wanting to see the waterfall himself.

Larkpaw dashed off after Shadowpaw, her small paws pounding against the ground. "How far do you think it is to the waterfall?" She asked, trying to start a conversation.

Before the falls sat the lone figure of a cat, silver pelt shimmering in the light, mist spraying out around the cat from the falls. Drops of water glistened on her pelt as the mist settled about her. Neptune peered down into the water's depths, green eyes reflecting sorrow. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, sighing. She swiveled her ears around at the sound of coming pawsteps.

"I don't know. Shouldn't be far now." Shadowpaw replied, slowing as they approached the falls. Shadowpaw smiled as he realized they found it, but his smile faded as he saw a silver figure in front of it. He stopped walking, but took a couple pawsteps in front of Larkpaw, the scent of no Clan coming off of the unknown cat. "Who are you?" Shadowpaw asked, his eyes focused on the silver cat.

The silver cat turned, her eyes boring into Larkpaw's and Shadowpaw's as she took them in. Finally, she merely sighed and meowed, "What business is my name to you?" The cat's green eyes glowed with a challenge, though she had not the heart for a fight.

Larkpaw stayed where she was,a few pawsteps behind Shadowpaw, not wanting to get closer to the mysterious she-cat. She was curious, and her blue eyes were gleaming. "We were just wondering." She meowed, keeping her eyes on the she-cat. "Why don't you want to tell us?"

"Because if you were to know then you would for sure not want to speak to me." The silver cat replied, turning back towards the falls and letting the cooling spray drape itself across her shoulders.

Larkpaw padded a few steps closer to the she-cat, and looked up at her, blue eyes gleaming. A light mist began to fall upon her as she moved closer to the waterfall. "I will talk to you, no matter who you are. Lots of cats are ashamed of their pasts, but that doesn't mean you can't tell us your name." She sat down and wrapped her gray tail around her paws.

Neptune started and looked up, not meeting the apprentice's eyes. "You have no idea the past that haunts my every pawstep." She murmured, green eyes clouding over.

Larkpaw felt something strange. It was sympathy for this mysterious she-cat. She must of had a hard life... She thought. Larkpaw continued to watch her, but didn't say anything.

"I can tell that you both are apprentices. AshClan." She meowed suddenly. "It would do yourself good to listen to those wiser than you, always." The silver cat murmured. "That's where I made my mistake." Turning back towards Larkpaw, she added, "My name's Neptune."
