Rat Slaughter (Open)

[~Twistedimage~]

The pure white she cat was in neutral territory, taking in the thick vile stench of the towering human dirt mound. The scent hung in the air like spiders spindling a web, suspended there in time. She felt the air slowly rise from the heat hurtling down upon the ground. Her slender, small form enveloped between the mounds, but not touching her pelt once, for she cringed at the thought of it touching her fur, already covered in blood. The usual stank of rats were almost gone, for she had spent everyday boring day killing them, tired of there over population. She always cornered up to one or more at a time, and killed them swiftly, even the ones bigger than her were no match for her impeccable speed. They were alive and breathing one minute, and then oozing blood then next. She tossed her head gently behind her, the blood on her paws and mouth dried. Lacepaw wondered what someone would think of her if they saw her hunting rats out of boredom. Only kill what you need to... her mothers sweet voice chimed like bells in her head. Suddenly her heart started to fly, she loved her mother and longed to see her again one day. Looking behind once more into Moonclan territory (Sunclan to her left) she made sure no one was watching her. Or at least hoped.

Sunpaw was walking through Moonclan territory, he was starving! With his mouth open he was scanning the forest floor for anything edible, he had been trying to prove his worth to the clan by catching something...tasty. Sure he was accepted into the clan, but he didn't feel like he had done anything...important. His ears shot up when he heard a twig snap, a lowly rat stepped out, it was very big for a rat, Sunpaw's time to make his life worth something, he began stalking toward the rat, he shot out on top of it, but it was to late. The rat was running! Sunpaw gave chase, he ran until he was out of the woods and to a small cliff. The rat stopped and looked at Sunpaw. He jumped toward the rat, but missed. *Dammit!* he thought to himself as he rolled down the cliff and into a white she on the bottom of the cliff.

Lacepaw watched a young tom cause a commotion at the top of the steep cliff, she laughed to herself, as a rat nearly twice her size came running toward her, or toward the human waste pile near her. But she didn't care about the rat, she had killed enough for today and was planning on going home soon. Although she thought gently to herself this moonclan apprentice is quite- she was cut off from her thoughts as she him rolling down the cliff rapidly at her. She had time to make a little squeak of surprise before the handsome tom rolled on top of her. They rolled a few times and then came to a sudden stop. She looked in to his deep blue eyes, his pelt was as pure white as hers, the scent of moonclan hung all over him, yet she didn't mind, because she didn't think moonclan cats smelt that bad. Actually this was the first time she had ever smelt one up close. She inhaled a deep breathe and closed her eyes. Then quickly flickered them open again to flood the area with a sea blue green, her huge stunning glowing orbs as bright as the sun. Her little pink nosed wiggled slightly taking in his smell and she meowed gently, "Hello..." it sounded as though a sweet chime of bells went floating through the air. She smiled sweetly and then made a tiny purr, but then stopped it just as fast as it came.

Sunpaw was stuck circling around the white she, he found no abnormality's, when he made the full 360 degrees and froze up and quickly covered his right eye with his paw, with the other he waved and smiled. "allo cat, my name is Sunpaw, what are you doing here?" he asked with intrigue in his one open eye. Sunpaw hoped that the beautiful she in front of him would not ask whats behind his paw, Flamestar((or is it face, I'm not sure 030)) had always said that normal people look down on strange people, that would be hard seeing as how this she was so much smaller than him but still, he wanted to be friends with this cat and he didn't want his face to ruin that.

The she cat cared not what he looked like or what weird secrets he had to hide, she just wanted a friend. She stood there quiet, as he circled her. She was okay with it, for this was neutral territory and has posed no threat to her, yet. She didn't care if she was tiny, she liked being tiny because most cats underestimated her, making it easier to surprise them in battle. The tom looked about a couple moons older than her, and was twice her size easily, she was surprised that he had not made a rude remark about it yet. Her size made her cute, and with her beautiful eyes and glittering voice, made her absolutely stunning to any tom, yet she was oblivious to it. She never really cared what she looked like, she was just...her...

She looked up at him as he stated his name, sunpaw. She need not to tell him why she was here, or her name. She quickly turned away, being taught not to talk to strangers. It had been a mistake say hello because she was surprised and a little caught in the clouds when she did. No matter how nice they seemed Raccoonstar warned her not to release any information. She had no idea how to respond in the slightest, so she quickly just apologized and turned around to walk away. He won't bother coming after me anyways she thought to herself. In the back of her head though she wanted to know why he was covering his eye though....

Sunpaw was disappointed when the pretty she-cat turned and left, he hadn't talked with somebody his age in a long time, and he wanted to know how other people are in Sunclan, he didn't know much about the clan from the short amount off time he was in there, he only remembered the milky, warm scent of the nursery, now the only thing he can smell is the pine forest. Sunpaw felt hurt, he wanted to spend more time with her. With his paw still over his right eye he trotted in front of the she. "Lo! Why are you leaving? I want to have a conversation with you!" he said in glee, "Why don't you trust me?" the white tom asked the she.

Lacepaw watched with curiosity as the other white tom walked in front of her blocking her path. "Trust you?" she said question ally shaking her head, "But I don't even know you...plus you are from the other clan, a-and Raccoonstar says to never talk to oth-" Thats just what she was doing, talking to another clan cat. You know what, she thought to herself, he doesn't seem to want to harm me, why not? Quickly playfully pushing him to the ground she managed to get his paw to not cover his eye and what she saw was stunning, beautiful in a way, "What happened to your eye?" She said in wonder. A light smile formed on her face, but she was in shock. Slightly disgruntled at the black splotch on his stunning eye, for it was almost the same- though opposite colors- as her mentor, Moonlight, whom she utterly loathed. She got extremly close to his face, her nose was touching his. She could feel the breath of him on her tiny pink nose. Her body barely covered his, her hind feet barely even reaching his back legs. He could easily turn her over, but he wasn't. That also shocked her, though she wasn't startled lightly.

Sunpaw was startled when the pretty she pinned him down, he was also scared at first, he wanted to close his eye and run, to shield his mark from the world.Though the she did not snap at him, or gasp, or screech in terror. *But dad said...how could this be...he has never lied before....* Once that thought had entered his brain the only words he could piece together to say to the small apprentice,who as he now noted, was close to his face. He could breath in all the aromas of Sunclan, of the She, of kit hood. The words that tumbled round Sunpaws mind spilled at random, at first he mouthed, softly to himself "Father,* the he whispered loud enough for the She to hear "Love...you..."
(Im sorry about all the mistakes, my muse is half-baked and im half asleep xD)

The fur on her ears moved gently as the tom inhaled her scent, it tickeled slightly and made her want to bat at her ears. Glancing at his eyes, there was a depth of confusion in them. Like something, after knowing it for most of his life, suddenly changed. She stood there, waiting for him to react and all he said was, "Love..you...". She cocked her head in confusion, "Love you?" she thought to her self, "No one ever says that to me, and never has" What's that supposed to mean..."What?" was the only thing that she could say. She had no response to that statement, for, it had never happened. "Why would a handsome tom say that to me anyways?" She began to slowly crawl of the tom. Her pelt was still somewhat matted in rats blood, and it slowly dawned on her what she must look like. A killer.

[~*-We Will Fall-*~]

Sunpaws world shattered, all his life he had done what father had said, help the elders, gather extra food, get herbs, was it all wrong? Did his dad lie to him the whole time? What was right? What was wrong? When the she asked the simple question "What?" he froze up and shambled over to a nearby broken down monster and bit down on his lip, looking at the floor, he bit harder and harder until he began to bleed. The smell the blood mimicked that of the one on the white shes pelt, he began shaking when he realized that she still wanted an answer. "F-father k-knows best..." was the only thing he could say to the she, he felt like his whole body was numb.
