Dragonstar padded into the ThunderClan camp. Her new home. She looked all around her, taking in the high stone walls that were the Clans's defense and shelter. She hoped she could become a good leader.
She padded into her new den, on a ledge. As she drifted off to sleep, she remembered her days as a kit, tumbling unsteadily around the nursery and getting under the paws of all the warriors. How far I have come!

"Dragonstar!" Tanglefur padded after his leader. "Have you seen my sister, Twilightcloud?"

"What Do You Do When The Only One Who Can Make You Stop Crying."
A shadow was casted on the hard earth as a medium sized she-cat padded in, her silver fur ruffled slightly, her dull eyes slowly moved up, spotting the cats ahead, she sadly looked away, and padded into a dark corner of the camp, her pelt now sullen. She shyly looked up then back down to the ground as she layed in her little corner. She was depressed, had no friends, and now had no family. She held her gaze to the ground, not budging as the shadows danced on her.
"Is The One Who Made You Cry?"

Dragonstar...leader... Bloodpaw thought, sitting about a yard or two away from the leader of Thunderclan, Dragonstar. Sighing, the black pelted apprentice stood up, glancing over at Tanglefur. Have you seen my sister, Twilightcloud? Is that really the first thing you should say, let alone ask your leader in all her glory? the apprentice thought. Sighing once more, he began to pad towards Dragonstar until he noticed yet another cat. "A bit gloomy, aren't we...?" Bloodpaw muttered under his breath as he looked in the direction of the silver pelted, medium sized she-cat, sitting in a dark corner.

"I'm so tired of being here"
Featherpaws eyes, seemed hard, the shadows step all over her as if she were a path, she looked up slightly again, hoping to see that they had left, but noticed another cat looking at her, and she shyly looked down, her eyes tinted with a slight sapphire, mixed with sorrow. She gave a slight shiver as a bitter breeze swept over her body.

Sighing again, Bloodpaw padded towards Featherpaw reluctantly. Featherpaw sort of creeped Bloodpaw out, even though the two of them were somewhat alike. As he approached the other apprentice, Bloodpaw noticed that she had shivered slightly. "Um...hello," Bloodpaw meowed to Featherpaw.

"And if you have to leave "
Featherpaw let her eyes close slowly, the good thoughts of her being next to her mother, but it was erased by the memory of watching her be slaughtered by her father, she held back a thousand tears, and heard paw steps, the scare on the right side of her from her fathers claws, her heart beat fast now, as she remembered her father yelling at her and raking his large claws across her face, she could remember each of his steps and she opened her eyes and shrunk back into the corner as a new cat appeared, she had thought it was her father, coming back, coming back to finish what he had started. She looked at the ground, trying not to let tears fall, and whispered softly "Hi"in low shy words.
"I wish that you would just leave "

Watching her eyes close, the strange shrinking back into the corner, Bloodpaw sat, letting his eyelids close halfway. I just had to come over here now... Bloodpaw thought as he waited for an answer. When Featherpaw spoke, Bloodpaw's eyes quickly opened fully. It was just barely audible. "I just wanted to see if you were okay, sitting alone, in the corner and all," Bloodpaw meowed to Featherpaw.

"'Cause your presence still lingers here"
Featherpaw, had had the feeling she was going to be hit, but embarrassment, went threw her, feeling dumb, she slightly looked up, trying not to look into his eyes, she tried to say in steady words, but she was trying to hold back tears, she looked back down, and kept her words steady, "I'm, ok"though, she didn't really know if she was okay, Could she live her life like this forever?. though she was sad, and sullen, she slightly smiled, as he asked if she was okay, nobody ever asked that, nobody.
"And it won't leave me alone"

As Featherpaw slightly looked upwards, Bloodpaw tried to look into her eyes. Blue...no, sapphire, nice, Bloodpaw thought as he noticed her smile slightly. Nodding to her answer, Bloodpaw then said, "Your eyes and smile are pretty."

"These wounds won't seem to heal '"
Featherpaw, shyly looked away, "thank you"she mewed, lowly, she never heard these things, she usually just heard yelling, and mean comments, saying she was like her father. Here tears slowly dissolved in her eyes, and she tried to get a better look at who she was talking to, most of her life she had been scared to talk to other cats. Her small claws slightly unsheathed then sheathed she was quite nervous but she forced herself to look up.
"This pain is just too real "

"Your welcome," Bloodpaw meowed, almost equally as low. Wow, I kinda find it hard to believe that I'm actually saying these things...well, it's probably because she seemed a bit upset before, so I guess my first instinct would be to be nicer, Bloodpaw thought as Featherpaw began to look up at Bloodpaw.

"When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears"
She gave a slight smile, but moved her head down a little, she shuffled her paws, not knowing what to say, she felt stupid. She blinked slowly, she wanted to ask his name, but was afraid her words would be jumbled up. She thought for another moment, then shivered again as another breeze drifted threw her silver fur. She looked up, as she lay shrunk back in the corner.
"When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears"

"So..." Bloodpaw began, "...my name is...Bloodpaw, what's yours?" He felt as if he shouldn't have offered his name, since it had the word 'Blood' in it. The word could mean many different things to other cats. Assasination, blood lust, cold heartedness. Any of those. Bloodpaw sighed slightly as he awaite dan answer.

"And I held your hand through all of these years"
Featherpaw, smiled, though relief sweeping over her, so she didn't have to ask, she seemed to take his name and lock it in her mind somewhere, so she wouldn't forget it. "I like that name"she mewed, not being blood thirsty or anything but she seemed to like him. She gave a shy smile, "My name is Featherpaw"she mewed, here sapphire eyes looking up at him then back down.
"But you still have, All of me"

"Really? That's a first." Bloodpaw meowed. Like mentioned before, other cats would criticize him because of his name, especially his birth clan. They exiled him, probably because of something regarding his name. "Featherpaw...? Nice name for a nice cat," Bloodpaw accidentally said aloud. Crud, she wasn't supposed to hear that last part, Bloodpaw thought.

"You used to captivate me, By your resonating life"
Featherpaw didn't understand what he meant by the last part, perhaps that he thought she was a freak like everybody else thought she was.. Maybe I am a creep, she thought, her blue eyes on the ground, she was afraid to say anything else, and just layed there huddled up in a corner. As memory's slipped threw her mind remembering the taunts she had gotten, the punishments coming back from her father; beaten, like freshkill, she huddled up closer, feeling as if her heart were about to burst.
"Now I'm bound by the life you've left behind"

What did I say...? Bloodpaw thought as he looked away for a split second before asking Featherpaw, "What's the matter? You alright? Did I say something wrong?" Well...I probably did, Bloodpaw thought.

"Your face it haunts My once pleasant dreams"
Featherpaw tried to blink away here thoughts but every time she did, they seemed to come back, just to make her life worse, "I'm sorry, I didn't know what you meant""she meowed, her soft voice in low whispers. She was use to being taunted and never understood, good comments. She again felt stupid, the wind seemed to threaten to release another cold breeze.
"Your voice it chased away All the sanity in me"

"Okay, that's good." Bloodpaw sighed relieved. "I've got a question," Bloodpaw said, leaving a pause, then finishing with, "What exactly were you doing here...alone instead of with the others?"

"I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone, But though you're still with me"
Featherpaw pawed at the ground, her paw moving softly over the dirt, probably the only thing she would ever be close to. She slightly frowned, "They are happier when I'm not in there" she meowed softly, "I'd rather them be happy" she mewed, huddling up as another breeze ruffled her silver fur, her ears seemed to sting as she felt it. She slowly closed her eyes, I am no use to this clan, and I'm better off dead, she thought, her blue eyes closed, the feeling of hurt, rejection, pain.
"I've been alone all along"

Bloodpaw nodded with a bit confusion. They're always happier...when she's not there? She'd rather have others happy. Oh, now I see, he thought before saying, "You don't have to stay away just because they're...not exactly happy when you're around them. Don't let what they feel towards you affect your own happiness..." he meowed, "...like I could even say that..."

"Come to bed, don't make me sleep alone "
Featherpaw felt the last sting from the breeze, then slightly opened her eyes, she looked up at Bloodpaw, he seemed to tower over her as she stayed bunched up in her Little corner, she gave a soft small smile, "Maybe"she meowed, she had never had anyone try to help her, she seemed to gaze at him for a moment then she quickly moved her gaze as a small amount of light revealed the whole right side of her face, her small scare shown from her fathers claws, and she swiftly turned, trying to hide it.
"Couldn't hide the emptiness you let it show"

As soon as Featherpaw quickly turned her head, Bloodpaw took a step back, with his eyes half closed again. Scars...? he thought as a slight pain surged through his belly. Ignoring the pain, he began to remember a piece of his past, a part when the cats of Deathclan chased him out of the clan. He had just slightly cut his belly all the way across.

"Never wanted it to be so cold"
Featherpaw, stood the opposite way from Bloodpaw, now just her left side of her face, she hated that mark, and all it did was brought memories of her punishments. She closed her eyes slowly, "sorry"she mewed, acting like it was nothing, He thinks I'm a freak. She thought her blue eyes slightly looking at him then turning to the ground not revealing, her scare.
"Just didn't drink enough to say you love me"

"It's...not a problem...your scars just reminded me of something I thought I forgot," Bloodpaw muttered as he glanced back at Featherpaw.(Sorry for the shortness, my muse died.)

"I can't hold on to me"
Featherpaw, still kept her head to the right, she wanted to just cry nd die now. She hated her life and there was nothing good in it, so why waste her time when the only thing she'll ever be closest to is dirt? Nobody liked her here anyway, it seemed as f a bomb had exploded inside of here, perhaps inside of her heart, she put her head down in the dirt and just layed there, "It's fine"she meowed, she didn't know of this cat past, but they might have something in common, her eyes slowly closed but she raised her head quickly, she hadn't slept in two days, but she wanted to stay awake, but it seemed to drag her down.
"Wonder what's wrong with me"
OOC: Heh it's ok ^_^

Seeing as Featherpaw layed down, closing her eyes in the process, Bloodpaw woke up from his memories, and said, "Hey, hey, you alright now?"

"Don't want to let it lay me down this time"
Featherpaws, eyes were blurry, things were spinning, she couldn't see straight, she looked at Bloodpaw in the eyes for once, but she could not see him. She tried to sound calm though she was slightly scared to pass out"Yes, I'm fine"she meowed, she was unsure and she didn't know where to go. She looked away, she didn't stand up because she new she would fall.
"Drown my will to fly"

"Alright," Bloodpaw meowed, sitting down, watching Featherpaw, "It you say so." Bloodpaw seemed uncertain, though so he looked at Featherpaw more directly when she looked directly at his eyes. "Alright..." he repeated.
