Hawkfrost, a tall and handsome tom walked along the border, an endless boredom shrouding him. His thoughts were of his sister, Summergaze. 'She has grown oh so popular within BoulderClan that she never has time for me.' Then his mind wandered toward Scorchgaze, the pretty femme he has come to adore. And suddenly, as if magic he came across a recent scent of her. He picked up his pace and went to go find her when bam! He ran into her. He smiled at her sheepishly as he stood up. "Hey," He mewed, feeling his ears warming.

The only reaction that Scorchgaze could initially think of was defense. The femme whirled around, black fur spiking in alarm, ivory claws unsheathed, as she let out a deep hiss. Pure violet optics flashed with recognition, and the feline quickly forced her fur to lie flat as she coughed with surprise, smiling sheepishly. 'Oh, Hawkfrost! I didn't realize thart was you, I'm so sorry!' Normally, Scorchgaze would have resorted to her normal response to this and let her mean streak show through. But this tom was an exception. She sheathed her claws and raised a paw, running her pink tongue along its length to try and play off her reaction coolly, waiting for the tom-cat to speak. [/size]

Hawkfrost's face was neutral but his whiskers twitched in amusement. He was always facsinated by her violence and meaness. "It's alright," He shrugged it off. "How are you? I haven't talked to you lately." He started off at a slow walk, beckoning with his tail for her to follow. He turned his head and smiled, his icy blue eyes full of warmth.
OOC: Hmm....I remember I couldn't think of a good name and so I choose Hawkfrost for his name.

ooc:: Haha I chose Scorchgaze becuase of her mean side. Her 'gaze' was always 'scorching'. Haha.
bic:: The femme stared blankly at Hawkfrost for a moment, then sighed inwardly and padded slowly after the tom. Her curiousity spiked when she had first realized it was him that ran into her whilst she was hunting. At the thought of her lost prey, her anger began to boil over again, but then remembering it was Hawkfrost who had caused the loss of it made her instantly return to her currently calm state. Something about the tom suppressed her normal violent side. It confused, enthralled, and frightened the feline all at the same time. Scorchgaze's heart skipped a beat as her piercing blue optics connected with Hawkfrost's gaze. There was definitely something different about this tom.
'I'm alright, I was just hunting when you ran into me.' The black femme meowed, weaving around a boulder lying in her path as she continued to follow Hawkfrost. Remembering how the tom had suddenly appeared, when she had already been thinking of the mysterious cat, made Scorchgaze's whiskers burn. [/size]

Hawkfrost smiled slightly. "Too bad. You are on patrol duty now." He picked up his pace a bit, tail tip flicking back and forth rapidly, showing his excitement. 'What am I exactly excited about?' He wondered. He came to a coven of bushes and dove (is it dove? Like, dive, dove?) into one of them. It rustled slightly, and after a few moments he came back out with a bird who was searching for berries. He put it down infront of Scorchgaze, "For your lost prey." He smirked.

ooc:: I believe dove, or dived (which I think sounds wierd) works just fine.
bic:: Scorchgaze smiled at Hawkfrost as the tom returned with a sparrow. She shook her head in disbelief, then spoke. 'That wasn't really neccessary. I could have gotten one on my own you know.' She smirked, then reached down and grasped the sparrow between her jaws. Scorchgaze turned away and began to pad away, flicking her tail lightly while glancing over her shoulder, her expression asking 'Aren't you coming?'

Hawkfrost sat down and watched her leave, head tilted to one side pretending to comtemplate it. He started tilting his head side to side, looking like an idiot. He smiled, enjoying being carefree. Abruptly, he got up and trotted after her, head held high tail upraised, and started to prance around. He grinned at her and left up a tree and started to follow by jumping from branch to branch, reflexes making it seem so effortless.

Scorchagze padded along, weaving through trees and boulders, while constantly glancing skyward at Hawkfrost's actions. What in DreamClan was this tom doing? She had never seen anyone act this way around her, or at all. The feline screwwed up her nose, clearly showing her confusion at the toms antics. What was he getting at? Obvious to her, she had feelings for Hawkfrost, and his carefree nature made her like him all the more. But she dared not express her feelings to anyone, or even so much as give a hint, for fear of being rejected. She didn't really know anyone who cared that deeply for her due to her attitude. But their response to her just worsened it.. [/size]

Hawkfrost kept up this tree hopping game for another few yards. Then he glanced down, jumped off the tree branch and landed infront of her. "What are you doing?" He asked. He wasn't crazy, he just felt happy and was expressing it. And he also wanted Scorchgaze to come out of her shell, to see another side of her. 'Is she afraid?' He wondered, his eyes kind as they searched hers.

Scorchgaze jumped slightly, surprised at the tom leaping down in front of her. The black femme released the fresh-kill, letting the sparrow's body sit on the ground so she could talk. 'I'm walking, what does it look like I was doing?' She retorted, though her voice was tinged with humor. The feline sauntered around Hawkfrost, circling him and then standing behind him. 'I would like to know what you are doing.' She purred, clear blue optics glittering in the sunlight as she waited for an answer. [/size]

Hawkfrost sat down, a slight smile lifting his maw upward. "I was simply enjoying happiness, and using my surroundings to express it." He mewed matter of factly. He turned to face her, eyes curious but guarded. "Are you ever happy?" He asked, slightly hesitant.

Scorchgaze's eyes burned with rage at the toms last question. Of course she was happy! What kind of question was that? Scorchgaze opened her maw, prepared to speak her thoughts, but something stayed her tongue. A voice in the back of her head pushed aside her violent buildup and spoke to her. 'You are not as well as you would like to believe. Listen to Hawkfrost, and respond truthfully. He is the path to your happiness.' Scorchgaze softened her eyes, the blue orbs no longer cold but more subtle, sad. She sighed, sitting down promptly. 'Truthfully, no. I cannot lie to myself anymore.' She mewed, her voice soft. Nearly a whisper. Black tail curled over her paws, and her shoulders seemed to sag with an unseen weight. [/size]

Hawkfrost tilted his head slightly, brow furrowed. "Why?" He asked in that same murmur, feeling his heart swell with emotion for the she-cat. 'I trully love her then...' He pondered this somewhere in the corner of his mind. "Will you tell me..?" He mewed, still in that same, soft tone. He got up carefully, as if moving too fast would startle the defeated creature within the pretty feline. He slowly crossed his way over to sit next to her, and rested his tail on her shoulder.

Scorchgaze sighed heavily, blue optics hidden from view as her lids closed over them. She tried to avoid thinking of her past; the memories were too painful to want to recall. Never before had she spoken of her past, or her reason for such violent attitudes, to any cat. Scorchgaze was reluctant to share it now, but in the end she knew it was for her own good for her to. Blue eyes were revealed as the feline flicked her piercing gaze up to Hawkfrost. 'You must understand that what you are about to hear, I have never before said to any other cat. I'm sure the elders in our Clan know of it, but to my relief they do not speak of it.' Black paws shuffled as Scorchgaze's nervousness began to build.
'I have but one memory from my kit-hood that I truly treasure. I remember it vividly, more than I remember the own scent of our Clan.' Scorchgaze began. Her voice fluttered slightly from her nerves, but grew stronger as she progressed. 'I was with my mother and father, Shadowpelt and Blackclaw, as well as my only sibling, Razorkit. He was my brother. We were just outside of the camp, and my brother and I were wrestling. My parents watched over us, enjoying in our carefree nature.' She paused, lips curling into a smile. Though not of malice or anger, as her smiles normally contain. But rather of pure happiness, brought upon by the remembrance of the memory. But she quickly hid the smile behind a mask of caution before continuing. 'Both of my parents joined in our play fight. It was just the four of us, enjoying a green-leaf day. With not a care in the world for any problems or fueds. It was glorious.'
Scorchgaze flicked her tail, and her piercing blue eyes grew cold as she continued to story of her past. 'It was but only a moon later before everything I knew was torn away from me. The leader of our Clan at the time, and I dare not say his name as it angers me too much, was corrupted with the thought that we could dare to take AshClan as our own. He called together every able-bodied cat in the Clan and ordered an immediate attack on AshClan.' Ivory claws kneaded the ground as Scorchgaze continued. 'Now at this point, Razorpaw and I were apprentices. So we could join our parents in battle, which took place upon AshClan's mountain. My parents...' Scorchgaze trailed off, breathing heavily. Struggling to maintain control of her emotions. 'My parents both perished in the fires of the mountain. Right in front of my brother and myself. We turned tail and fled. The glory our leader promised no longer was worth the heavy price we were paying. Yet the battle was massive, and we became separated. I continued to run, and after arriving back at our camp, I waited for his return. It never happened.'
The black feline sighed heavily, shaking her head to clear her mind of the bad images that had begun to flash behind her eyes. As they normally did when she recollected the memory. Her voice was but a mere whisper as she spoke again. 'The worst part is not knowing what could have happened to him. Whether he was captured by AshClan and killed, or some terrible accident that may have occured. I pleaded any cat to search for him, but not a scent of him remained. That day left me alone in the world, and I grew angry and violent, blaming all others around me for my misfortune. Amd I feared that I would never hold to myself another happy memory. Until today of course.' Throughout the story, Scorchgaze had been staring at her paws as though they were the most important thing to her. After the conclusion, however, her gaze switched up to Hawkfrost's eyes, searching them for what reaction he had.

Hawkfrost flicked his ears forward, showing that she had his undivided attention. He listened to her sorrowful tale, eyes closed, trying to imagine what happened. He couldn't, not without shuddering. He opened his eyes as she paused briefly, seeing a smile of true happiness and he committed it to memory, loving how beautiful she looked when she was happy. He listened to her story tentatively, grasping each word, every horrible event of what happened. When she spoke of her parent's death, and of her brother's dissapearance, he scooted closer to her, closing all space between them. And when she spoke of being happy again today, he looked at her, his eyes widened a bit in surprise. But they were also filled with warmth. "I'm so sorry," Everything dissapeared from his eyes an he looked down, feeling pity well in him but also contemptation. Not at Scorchgaze though, but at the leader she dare not name. The leader who took her happiness away from her.
