Shadepaw sat in silence with Wildpaw, in one of those peacefull moments, gazing over the landscape. Though she would never admit it, she enjoyed Wildpaw's company. Then, with a sudden shout from the side of Lightning Rock,followed by several tearing sounds, the moment was gone. Yet Shadepaw still pretended not to notice the interruption. Having been alone almost all her life, she never had the chance to enjoy the world with someone else around, so she didn't know that the moment would never come back.

Azurekit received no answer from the rock, and so he decided that he was being ignored. He wasn't one to be idly turned aside from, however in the meantime he decided to finish his meal. Rudely smacking his lips when he finished, he pushed what little remains there were under a shrub and dragged some branches of the sturdy plant down to cover it, seeing as there was not much dirt up here.
The tabby kit leaped and flowed up the cliff at a steady pace, but not so fast as to slip and fall. When he saw the final lip that reached over the top of the rock, his breath came in tiny, short gasps. He realized that he was now very high up, and was tired from the excersize. Placing two furry forepaws onto the top of the rock, he poked his head over the peak and his icy blue orbs met with yellow ones. He blinked, saying nothing. His eyes said all he would have aloud: I'm here. [/color]

Shadepaw said nothing. She could feel Azurekit's pressence; something unwelcome to her. Memories flashed before her silver eyes. Suddenly she turned around and looked deep into Azurekit's eyes, almost as if she were looking for something that might be hidden there. Once again, memories flooded her vision. Turning away, she gave a slight shudder for presently unknown reasons. She gave one last look to the darkening sky before silently bounding over the edge of Lightning Rock, landing gentlely(or so it apeared) on a small overhang a couple feet down. Then, without looking back, she began her descent towards Rageclan Camp.

Azurekit didn't feel in the least guilty for chasing Shadepaw away, however he felt his stomach drop at the look she gave him. It was as if she had thrown hatred at him in a physical form, and he watched her go with awe. A strange feeling crept through his chest and along his spine, and as he sat and turned towards Wildpaw, he flashed her an apologetic look.
"Sorry." He mumbled, wishing the feiry apprentice hadn't left. The more company the better. His tailtip twitched, but then he gave no more signs of distress save his bright eyes looking at the spot where Shadepaw had disappeared. He knew that they had had disagreements before, but when he became an apprentice he decided he would try to patch things up with her, seeing as he wouldn't be an immature kit anymore and would have to prove it.
Azurekit, seeing Wildpaw's put-out expression, realized she'd been trying to make friends with the black cat. "Any luck?" He meowed, dragging his eyes from the spot where her tail had disappeared and planting them near Wildpaw's paws. [/color][/center]

Shadepaw walked in silence. She couldn't put it out of her head how incredibly familiar that tone of voice was. She didn't know why, but she needed to get away from Azurekit for a while. Shadepaw would never show it, but it unsettled her to think that anyone could imitate her brother so perfectly. Then again, her brother was dead. "And I'm the one who caused it"she thought to herself. She closed her eyes and sat down where she stood, not caring if she fell asleep there.

Azurekit still felt the odd feeling ricocheting around inside him, and it pushed him to his paws and led him to the edge of lightning rock. Looking down, he sat the curled form of Shadepaw. Probably gonna sleep. He thought. He leaped down a small ledge so that he was only a few foxlengths above the still form. His deep yellow eyes looked down unwaveringly at the apprentice as he stood there in stone stillness. Both cats and the rock looked to be a painted scene until a breeze ruffled Azurekit's pelt, sending it rippling in tiny waves.
He took a deep breath only to let it out again. He wanted to call Shadepaw back up, but didn't know what to say that wouldn't make him lose face for suddenly being nice to her. His tail twitched in agitation and he was about to turn back and go back to Wildpaw when he thought he saw her move. Azurekit couldn't help but call out, "She wakes! Hey Shadepaw, why don't you come back up? I won't bite." He felt embarassed for kind of blurting these words, but his disarming smirk steeled himself and kept him from flushing. [/color][/center]

Shadepaw sprang into awareness and spun with impossible speed to face Azurekit, but her eyes were still emotionless, no matter what her body did. "What do you want?" she said with no particular tone. She took in every move he made. Shadepaw may be a part of Rageclan, but she still acted like a rouge loner. She held her stone gaze for a long time before she finally said "If you don't want to talk to me, then don't." At this, she began walking off. Sensing Wildpaw climbing down after her, she picked up her pace.

Azurekit sensed a challenged and he smoothly leaped down, rock after rock. Quickly he reached ground level and stood there with his tail raised indignantly. "Who said I didn't want to talk to you? Do you see anyone forcing me?" His tone came off a bit defensive, so he changed tactics. He raced after Shadepaw, looking wild and desperate. "Hey...wait! Slow down!"
Her stony gaze only egged him on as if teasing him. He followed behind her a foxlength away. "Where are you going?" Azurekit noticed that Shadepaw was trying to be tricky by heading away from camp, but he sensed she might be headed back there. His features were curious as he watched her intently from behind. He also wondered if Wildpaw had followed, but did not look back to see. The apprentice-aged kit had a feeling Shadepaw would snap at him, but for some reason he didn't care. [/color][/center]

Shadepaw ran in an odd pattern with many curves and zigzags, but in the end, her body couldn't handle the complexity. Suddenly, she came to a dead stop. But by the time any cat would be able to slow to a halt and turn around, Shadepaw was at the top of one of a thousand tree tops, and totally camoflaged.

"Hey!" Came his squeaky mew as he struggled to keep up with the swift apprentice. In the blink of an eye the weaving black tail that he'd followed had dissapeared altogether. Slowing his pace to a halt, he looked around with eyes narrowed in suspicion. Was she going to ambush him? He couldn't see her, but he was a cat and he didn't need to. Pricking his ears and closing his eyes for better concentration, he felt exhilarated as if playing a game of hide and seek.
His brain began to work like awakened parts of a clock. If he couldn't hear her, which he couldn't, then that must mean that she was immobile and somewhere near. If she tried to move, it would either be noisy enough to attract his attention or a slow enough escape that he would see her. Azurekit grinned, now knowing that Shadepaw couldn't get away. This spurred his mind to work faster. Sight and sound had failed, now the secret weapon: scent. Raising his nose to the wind he breathed deeply. No scent whatsoever. Frowning a bit, he thought it out well. That must mean that she'd made her escape downwind. Smart cat.
Turning, he sniffed along the ground. Not smart enough though. He easily caught her scent and followed it's general direction. The scent soon stopped and he knew then that she'd climbed a tree. and that would explain why she has 'escaped' so fast He thought, feeling very clever at the moment. He buried his nose in piles of leaf molch and quickly narrowed down his selection of trees to a small patch between himself and the sun. "Come out come out whereever you are." He breathed softly, smirking impishly. Finally, he pinpointed the tree she'd escaped by finding the clawmarks on a tree and the accompanying scent.
Azurekit planted his rear firmly by the tree and flipped his face towards the sky. Two or three trees were within leaping distance, but he would have heard the rustling of branches if she'd tried to escape. "Gotcha." Came his smooth voice, strong but not at shout level. He kept his yellow orbs fixed on the tree, searching it's many bristling limbs for the dark form of the she-cat. This would be simple for the game was up, like a hound that had treed a raccoon.

Shadepaw had been careless and she knew it, but her body was so exhuasted from the run, that had she been careful something very bad might have happened to her. Either way however, her mistakes had cost her her hiding spot. Shadepaw lay across the branch, barely able to sustain her balance and breathing heavily, her eyes were focused and intense. She continued you to ignore Azurekit's presence, for now she had to concentrate all her remaining energy on her body, there was no way she could afford to lose control again. Even though her heart was racing and her body was exhausted, Shadepaw had to remain absolutely calm. Even though she was right there, right infront of Azurekit, her breathing was still barely audible. The only sign of her weakness after such a sprint was the fact that her claws were digging in so deeply to the wood to avoid falling off incase she should falter.

Azurekit's features softened just a tiny bit as he saw how exausted Shadepaw was. "Hey, are you okay?" Came his meow, known to be serious because it had gotten deeper. She was panting heavily and clawing the tree like she was seeing demons. He rose to his feet and looked at her with a furrowed brow. She looked annoyed and concentrated at the same time. Shadepaw was balanced artfully across a branch above him and he wondered if he would be able to join her without getting his pelt clawed off. maybe I should back off...would she run away again? At the moment, the tabby kit felt like he was on a pointless wild goose chase.
Turning with a flick of the tail, he cast one last meaningful look over his shoulder at the strangely hostile she-cat and settled himself at the roots of an elder a few foxlengths away from her tree. He was in the shade of the tree, and twisted flexibly to lick along his back casually. He looked nonchalant, as if the chase was up and Shadepaw would go free if she wished. But really his insides felt as if they were all scrunched up and squirming like snakes as he wondered what her reaction would be to his quick dropping of the hunt. His clear yellow eyes closed contentedly, and he snuck her one last glance, revealing a tiny sliver of gold from one eye before closing it and resuming his grooming as if she wasn't there. [/color]

A sudden, very audible snap in a tree very well near the one Shadepaw was in as Wildpaw backed up on the branch she now balanced on, getting ready to make a running jump. She focused on her target, the spot next to Shadepaw, and tensed her muscles. WIldpaw pushed off with her back feet and ran at full speed, the forceful wind pressing her fur down flat as she pushed off from the end of the branch and soared through the air, hooking her front claws onto the branch Shadepaw was on. She now dangled from the tree branch, sharp talon-like calls digging into the branch as Wildpaw hauled herself up. The femme didn't seem at all tired from that sudden run or from having to haul herself onto the branch. "I finally caught up with you!" Wildpaw mewed, rather proud of herself for even reaching the same branch without falling to the ground and breaking something. "Well, actually Azurekit found you and I followed him, but oh well"
OoC: This was my sad attempt to join back in the rp with a post that I tried to make as long as y'alls I got cut out, and then I felt left out because the roleplay between me and Shade turned into a roleplay between Shade and you, Fallen

ooc- oh my gawd! I'm sorry! didn't mean to do that. Yeah, from now on I'll try not to do that ^^; sorry again!
bic- Azurekit looked up at the quivering branch. Now two sets of eyes were there. He blinked his own in confusion, suddenly realizing that Wildpaw had caught up. She's really fast he thought. He finished grooming himself and then stood up, walking over to the tree. "Hey, what is this?" He joked, "I party I wasn't invited to? That's not very nice." His clear eyes looked up at the two cats, wondering if they'd come down sometime. "Probably not." He sighed inwardly, for he wouldn't sigh outwardly even if he felt like it. If he was exasperated, he had this thing where he couldn't show it. He always needed to seem calm and collected so he always would be (at least somewhat). [/color][/center]
