xx.//Flipside.]] [ANYONE LITERATE]

[.feather//oceana.]

xx.//It's been a long, long time since everything was cool.]]

Morningfeather observed her fluffed tail as it flipped reflexively back and forth over her cream paws. It was something she'd done many times before, when concentration was necessary. The boulder on which she sat was smooth and cool on her worn pawpads. Her whiskers twitched as a dry and brittle wind seemed to scape across her pelt. The wind, just another constant reminder of the impending drought. Her attention was swiftly drawn elsewhere by the sound of dry grass crackling as something small explored near its roots.

xx.//I should've seen it coming but I guess I'm not the only fool.]]

In an almost random move, Morningfeather abruptly transferred herself from a sitting position to a precise hunter's crouch. She brushed low on the boulder, peering over the edge to observe the source of the noise. A slight frown emerged under her whiskers as she observed a scrawny vole picking around. You will starve too. Better you than me... Morningfeather's paws crept instinctively forward, lightly and adeptly.

x.//There's something growing on the outside.]]

Preparing to pounce, Morningfeather wiggled her haunches and pushed energy into her paws. Just as her paws left the ground, she was slammed to the ground by something heavy and warm.
Frustration boiled in her belly and ignited her innermost strength. Without thinking twice, she brought herself to her feet and flipped the thing off of her back, shoving it into the boulder with great force.

x.//Too much missing on the inside.]]

Northfrost moaned in pain as his back hit the boulder and he slid to the ground. He had not expected to be thrown like that by Morningfeather at all...he was far larger than her. The tom brought himself to his paws slowly only to be slapped on the cheek by Morningfeather's paw, claws unsheathed.

x.//Should I waste my time and let you lead me on and on and on and on.]]

Morningfeather screeched with anger when she realized that it was Northfrost messing around. "Grah! You mouse brained fool! Are you an apprentice that doesn't recognize when a cat is hunting? I had a vole nearly in my paws, and you had to ruin it. Northfrost....ugh!" she hissed and spat at the confused tom. The femme was so angry that she could almost imagine Northfrost seeing smoke spewing from her ears. She wanted so badly to pounce on the inconsiderate tom and knock him senseless.

x.//Waiting for the day when I'm complete.]]

Northfrost whipped his focus to his paws, even as blood spilled down his cheek. He could feel something crushing inside of him as Morningfeather chewed him out. How could I have been so stupid? he scolded himself as the femme stalked off angrily. He should have known she was there...Oh if only I knew! I ruin every chance I have with her! Northfrost abruptly whipped his head around to address where he had heard pawsteps coming from the direction he had come from. Who was coming up behind him now?

x.//Without you I'm doing what I can to let you be.]]

Jaypelt padded into the clearing. It seemed like a nice day for a walk. He nodded a swift greeting to Morningfeather and Northfrost. His gaze remained fixed on the tom that lay on the ground bleeding. "What happened?" he asked, addressing them both. His eyes flicked from one cat to the other, waiting patiently for an answer.

"Hang on." Jaypelt said, before dissappearing into a clump of bushes nearby. He emerged a few moments later with a mouthful of herbs, having had experience as a medicine cat. The wound wasn't serious. There was no need to give Silverdream another cat to look after. She already had enough problems as it was.

OOC: I noticed no one was posting so.... yeah ^^

xx.//Making sure there's nothing showing on the outside.]]

The tom shifted his ice orbs to Jaypelt. Northfrost heaved a sigh of relief, but it was stunted when fresh blood dripped onto his nearly white coat, staining it like mud lying on fresh snow. He shuddered with embarrassment as it actually hit him that he'd been injured by Morningfeather. Something in him forced him to admire her strength and unpredictability. Why was he so mesmerized by this femme?

xx.//Something's dying on the inside.]]

Morningfeather took one glance over her shoulder at Jaypelt, before huffing off again. Her head perched high with arrogance and blunt rejection. Inside, she felt both irritation and satisfaction. She could sense Northfrost crushing on the inside . He liked her, and she would play him out until his heart was beaten black and blue. Always room for a little heartbreak the femme smirked.

xx.//I'm still broken but I'm free.]]

OOC: And then she matures, and someone steals her heart blahblahbladidyblah hahahaha

"What happened?"Jaypelt asked again, this time his voice was more firm and slightly more demanding. His gaze was fixed on the she-cat, though he could still see Northfrost in the corner of his eye. His tail flicked impatiently as he waited for an answer. He sighed and started to get to work with Northfrost.
