Thunderstrike reached her forepaws up, and unsheathed her claws, scraping them against the Claw Stone as they sharpened. She put her paws on the ground and sheathed them, and stretched with a yawn. Her white fur warmed as the sun beat down on it. Thunderstrike was recently made deputy, and she had her own kits. She left them with another queen--she felt a need to get out of camp and feel the grass beneath her paws. Her ears pricked as she heard the grass crumple beneath another cat.

Dragonheart lifted a paw and took another step towards Thunderstrike, his ears swivling forwards. "Thunderstrike, I've been looking for you." He purred, padding the rest of the way over to his mate and nuzzling her affectionatly. :Is everything alright?"

Thunderstrike purred as Dragonheart came. "No, nothing's wrong." She answered. "Why were you looking for me?" Thunderstrike asked, her golden eyes bright and on him.

"I just wanted to see how being deputy feels." Dragonheart replied, smiling back at her. Laying down beside the Claw Stone, he stretched large black paws out in front of him, yawning.

Thunderstrike sat down beside Dragonheart, parting her jaws in a yawn. But as her mouth was open, she caught sent of something else. It was a cat, but Thunderstrike couldn't make out if it was Clan or not. Thunderstrike looked at Dragonheart, not knowing if he scented it or not.

Dragonheart's ears snapped forwards, lifting his head off the ground. He froze, eyes narrowing as he tried to think of who it was. "Neptune." He growled, hackles rising and fur bristling. Neptune stepped forwards, her silver pelt glowing softly as she approached them. "Dragonheart, you do not have to be so crude, especially to your sister." She meowed, looking over at Thunderstrike.

Thunderstrike's neck fur bristled, but two more cat's scents carried on the light breeze. Halloween padded out behind Neptune, a dark gray kit dangling from his jaws, looking terrified. The kit saw Thunderstrike and Dragonheart, and let out a small, pitiful mew, but Halloween jerked the kit, silencing it. "What do you want?" Thunderstrike demanded.

Neptune smiled at Thunderstrike. "I'm only visiting my brother, is that a sin?" She meowed. "And this is Halloween, don't ask why she's with me, I can't remember." She purred, padding up to Dragonheart and nuzzling him. Dragonheart hissed and pulled away, growling, "You muderous traitor, I want nothing to do with you." Neptune laughed and meowed calmly, "I have changed my ways Dragonheart, I'm not who I once was."

Thunderstrike looked from Neptune to Halloween, not sure of what to make of the two. She wouldn't fight if it wasn't needed, that was sure. She couldn't bear to see the kit scared, so she meowed, "Hand the kit over. You shouldn't have any use for it." Halloween dropped the kit, named Bunny, who scampered over to Thunderstrike and Dragonheart, even though she didn't know if she could trust them or not. "You saw your brother, so now go." Thunderstrike hissed.

Neptune looked over at Thunderstrike, her green eyes shining. "I'm afraid we haven't met though. Is Dragonheart your mate?" She inquired, sitting down where she was and waitintg for an answer.

Thunderstrike's golden eyes rested on Neptune. "Yes, he is." She answered. Bunny sat between Dragonheart and Thunderstrike, her fluffy tail wrapping around her small body, her green eyes looking from cat to cat. "What happened that made Dragonheart be so...hostile towards you?" She asked, waiting for an answer from her mate or his sister, wanting to know who she was talking to if Neptune talks to her more.

Dragonheart sighed and closed his eyes tightly, trying to calm himself. Neptune looked away, her eyes clouding over with greif. When Dragonheart opened his eyes and looked at Neptune's expression, it was all he could do to keep from letting his jaw drop. He turned away though and looked at Thunderstrike. "She is a murderer." He murmured pointedly. "At least, she was." He added, looking over at Neptune, who had looked up in surprise at his addition. "Before now, I have never known her as anything except a ruthless, heartless, killer. But I can see she has changed." He meowed, standing and padding over to Neptune, giving his younger sister an affectionate lick on the forehead. "I forgive you." He murmured, loud enough for only him and Neptune to hear.

Thunderstrike nodded, and looked at Halloween. "And he is because...?" She asked, and Halloween's yellow eyes burned into hers, but yet his expression was unreadable. He didn't answer, and wouldn't answer Thunderstrike. But Bunny, and this happened rarely, spoke up. "He almost killed me!" Thunderstrike whirled around at Bunny; she hadn't heard a peep from the kit. Bunny, wishing she didn't draw attention to her, curled her tail closer, burrying her face in the fluff.

Neptune, unknown even to this, rounded on Halloween, her green eyes glowering with anger. "You what?!" She spat, her fur bristling as she stared down at Halloween. Dragonheart stared, his eyes wide with surprise. Turning to Bunny, he nudged her softly. "Don't worry, you'll be fine." He purred.

Thunderstrike gave Bunny a reassuring, warm lick over her dark gray fur. "It'll be okay." She mewed quietly. Bunny looked up at Dragonheart and Thunderstrike, and took their words. Halloween hissed angrily. "So what if I almost did! She's not hurt--be happy." Halloween snarled, staring back at Neptune defiantly. Thunderstrike's neck fur rose once again, taking a pawstep towards Halloween.
