Brown paws padded lightly against the ground as a muscular tom padded along the border between Rageclan and Blazeclan. He knew he shouldn't be there, as he wasn't in either of the clans, but he was looking for someone. His green eyes, so much like the old Fernclan leader Fawnshadow's, kept shifting as he tried to catch sight of the beautiful femme.
At the last gathering, Shadowstride had met a femme, Lucidhope. He had only talked to her for a little, but ever since then, he couldn't stop thinking about her. He was wondering if she felt the same way about him, so he decided to go on a little journey to find her. Actually, he had been on many journeys like this before. Unfortunately, however, he had been unable to find the femme before. He hoped this time things would be different.
Then a scent came to the tom, making him freeze. It was Lucidhope. His eyes widened as he thought of how the femme would react. Would she be mad at him for trespassing? Or would she be happy to see him? He didn't know, and not knowing made him nervous. He just stood there, waiting for the femme to approach. [/center][/blockquote]

xx.//I will wait for you if you promise you will try.]]
A lithe orange femme strode aimlessly toward the RageClan borders. It had become a habit over time; especially since her troubles with Tranquilbreeze began. Tonight, the usually vibrant she-cat was full of heavy thoughts that seemed to way her down in an unusual way.
xx.//So please will you whisper to my head all your plans.]]
As she reached a crossroad, something pulled her towards the BlazeClan border rather than the AshClan. She sighed heavily but lifted her head all the same, and proceded. Lucidhope recalled the gathering a few moonrises ago. It had been one thing that had added a little bit of spark to the dull life she had been encompassed by lately. She remembered speaking to a FernClan tom, Shadowstride, and feeling...just charmed. There was something different about him, there seemed to be so much more to him than the typical clan cat, or at least the RageClanners. Lucidhope scoffed at the thought of what her brother would say to her for even having second thoughts about a tom from another clan.
xx.// I want to understand.]]
Maybe things wouldn't be totally desolate for her after all... Perhaps she would get to see the FernClan tom again. Maybe she would go to FernClan to see him. Thoughts coursed through her mind at unimaginable speeds. A shrill breeze swept around her, but other than that, all seemed quite as she cautiously approached the BlazeClan border.
xx.//And why you're running.]]

The brown tom saw the femme as she came closer. It didn't seem like she had spotted him yet. Thoughts rushed through his head... should he approach her? Should he just stay there and let her come to him? What should he say to her? Would she be happy to see him? Shadowstride closed his bright green eyes and shook his head. He shouldn't be so nervous.
Then the tom decided on what he would do. He wanted to approach the femme and let her know that he had come to visit her. How could she turn him away then? He looked at her, his green eyes gleaming with hope. Would she even remember him? He sure hoped so. Finally, he gathered enough courage and began to walk further into Rageclan territory.
As he walked, the tom flicked the tip of his tail back and forth nervously. Ever since he was a kit he had possessed this nervous habit. Once he judged that the femme would be able to hear him, he called out to her. "Lucidhope!" He only hoped that no other Rageclan cats were close enough to hear him call to her. [/center][/blockquote]

xx.//You're always running.]]
As she reached the border, the RageClan femme heard a small commotion coming from the BlazeClan side. Rustling in the leaves, a snapping twig, and then her name being called.
xx.//Is it me you don't see.]]
The golden femme whipped around to see who had called her. She picked up a strange scent. FernClan! Could it be Shadowstride? Her heart quickened it's pace as she padded closer to the voice, hoping that no other cats were around, in RageClan or across the border in BlazeClan. "Shadowstride?" she ventured.
xx.//But I'm still trying.]]

Shadowstride's ears pricked whenever the femme spoke. He gathered enough courage, then ran down to her, skidding to a stop by her side. "Hello Lucidhope." He murmured, hoping she wouldn't be mad at him for trespassing. From the tone in her voice when she had called back to him, it didn't seem like she would be mad.
The tom didn't know what else to say. All the other times when he ventured up to Rageclan territory, he had never gotten this far. This was the first time he had seen her since that gathering. [/center][/blockquote]

xx.//You're always crying.]]
The sunny colored femme whipped around, pleasantly surprised. "It is you Shadowstrike," she purred, letting her guard down. She quickely skimmed the horizon for enemies who could be lurking in the undergrowth. Lucidhope breathed deeply. Had he come here for her? "Wh-What are you doing here?" she asked the mud toned tom. Another light breeze coursed through the tiny clearing, blowing leaves and small branches around. She instinctively stepped closer to Shadowstrike, half smiling, awaiting his response.
xx.//To me, you never see.]]
Sorry it's short XD

That was just the question the tom had been expecting. He wasn't really sure how to answer. If he told the truth, would she be freaked out? Shadowstrike sighed softly then meowed, "I came here to see you, Lucidhope." The light from the sun caught in his green optics as he looked at her, causing his eyes to shine.
He paused, not knowing if he should say more. Always the talker, he decided to. "I've just been wanting to see you even since we met at that gathering." He murmured, glancing at the ground as if embarrassed. [/center][/blockquote]

xx.//Just be honest with me.]]
To see me? she smiled. The femme could sense nervousness alluring from Shadowstrike. "It's okay," Lucidhope purred softly. "I've been thinking about that time at the gathering quite a lot too actually. I was even considering going to FernClan to see you," she smiled. It made her happy to know that Shadowstrike was feeling some of the same things that she was.
xx.//The seasons all change but my love stayed the same.]]
Something tinged her heart as she took glances at Shadowstrike. Lucidhope didn't want to seem strange by staring at him, but she had to admit that she was mesmerized by the chocolate toned tom. The young femme knew that she could easily fall for him, but it was a matter of whether she would allow herself to or not. The idea of something forbidden terrified and thrilled her at the same time. Only time could tell.
xx.//And so I knew.]]
