&&So Long and G O O D N I G H T

[brokenspirit]

Pebbleshadow padded quietly over to the lake and sat down by a tree that grew close to the water. The breeze carried over the waves and rippled in his fur. He twitched his ears, sensitive to the cold, but he was warm enough. Gazing out to the other side of the lake, he thought about the previous day. He was having trouble fitting into his deputy duties, but he knew that he would get used to it eventually. He had to, especially since he was going to be leader eventually, assuming he didn't die first, but he didn't see that happening soon. Pebbleshadow flexed his paws, sheathing and unsheathing his claws with the thought. He wouldn't let anything kill him.

Silverstep came quietly besides him.
"Greetings," She dipped her head. "And what is your name?"

[brokenspirit]

Pebbleshadow smiled at the she-cat that came up to him. She didn't know his name? He was the deputy of her clan. Shaking his head, he let it go and replied, "I'm Pebbleshadow." He gazed into her eyes, knowing that he had seen her around the camp at least a few times. "You're Silverstep right?"

[dove]

She nodded gently.
"Yes. I am." She replied, a little light came into her eyes. It was recognition. "Oh yes, now I remember." She licked her chest in embarrassment. She flicked her paw, showing the silver wisps.

[brokenspirit]

Pebbleshadow smiled and tilted his head questioningly. "What brings you all the way out here?"

[dove]

"Well..." She bent her ears in embarrassment.
"I didn't mean to come here. I didn't even know a Clan, or Clans were around this area. Something hit me off of a cliff, and then something else caught me, and I fell into the nursery." She murmured.

[brokenspirit]

Pebbleshadow gave a reassuring smile, "You don't have to be embarrassed. We all came here in our own way. Even the cats that have lived here for generations, thier ancestors had to get here somehow."

[dove]

Silverstep shrugged.
"That is true," She said. "So, how did you come here?" She asked, that curious light in her eyes again.

[brokenspirit]

Pebbleshadow shrugged, he didn't have much of a story, but his mother did. "My mother was a rogue that abandoned me in the woods. I stumbled my way to this clan, and had no idea what it was, but knew that there were cats, and they would take care of me. I wasn't really accepted in the clan until I became a warrior, but it was worth it. One of the queens that was in the nursery at the time raised me while I was a kit, but she died a long time ago." Pebbleshadow had always wanted to know who his mother was, but had no clues to go on. He didn't even know where he came from.

[dove]

"Oh," She mewed "I had someone abandon me a long time ago as well." She went far away for a second, but then soon came back.
"Do you know anything that's out there?" She asked. "Do you have any idea who had saved me, and who had knocked me?"
