The Anger That I Hold.. - Open

[>>|Lilly|<<]

This was one tom who couldn't stay still even if his life depended on it, a restless white figure that always had to be up and moving around like a restless spirit of the dead whom had never found its way into the peaceful afterlife as all of the others had done so long ago. The tom slowly stalked forward on large and stiff white paws, his eyes narrowed in concentration. The tom let out an inaudible growl before lunging at the bird before him, yanking it up with triumphant eyes.


He smirked through the flying feathers of the bird, the nerves still kicking into the bird making the wings flap about. The tom shook out his pelt, calmly walking back to camp and dropping the bird onto the fresh kill pile. He yawned, stretching softly as he walked to the Medicine Cat's den, dropping down at the entrance as he let the remainder of the sun warm his white pelt while his tail calmly flicked around.

Breathless slides into camp with three birds clamped in her jaws. She had found herself with some free time earlier and had decided to go bird hunting. Bird hunting has always been her favorite because she makes a game of trying to get as many different types of birds as she can. Today she had found two robins, which wasn't to special, and a bluejay, which was a first for her. She places the birds down and decides to go find somewhere nice to rest. After short hunting trips like the one today the exercise usually leaves her with little appetite so she doesn't take anything from the pile. The tall golden she-cat stretches out her front legs and then notices the white tom for the first time as she gets back up. "Hello!" She meows, cheerfully enough. "Have you been having a nice day? It's warm but nothing to exciting has happened yet."

I'm the demon...
The fallen angel
from the ones in
Starclan.. The one
of whom is damned
to the Dark Forest..

Clockwork glanced up, his cold green eyes slightly lit with that calm yet annoyed manner. "Well... I suppose I am." He replied calmly, rolling onto his stomach while his sleek tail slowly lashed from side to side, his eyes silently studying the she-cat before him. "Well.. Putting aside my day how have you been Breathless?" He inquired in a calm voice though it still held the slight edge as his green eyes never left the she-cats form.

Breathless allows herself to relax and sits down next to Clockwork. She closes her eyes slightly because the heat on her fur feels so nice but is sure to keep them on Clockwork, who seems to be eyeing her just as intently. "Extremely normal." She says after considering for a moment. "I'm not complaining but it's worrying me that no catastrophe has happened yet. It makes me feel like when something does happen it will be all the worse because it was so late in coming." She purrs, finding the worries that had been following her around all day completely absurd now that they've been said out loud. "Do I sound like an elder yet? I guess I should just be grateful for a few days of peace."

Clockwork slumped his broad shoulders in a shrug, "Well.. Give Bloodclan a few more days, I'm sure they'll think something up to make everything worse." The white tom snorted, giving a slight shudder at the thought. "But, yes... Anyways, the peace is nice while we have it.." He said, nodding his head in agreement. The young tom stretched in boredom, slight annoyance in his eyes as he found himself once again envying the warriors... How heartbroken he had been to find himself in the position of a medicine cat.. It killed him inside each day to live through the torture of sorting herbs.

"Oh, you're right. I hadn't considered that. I don't suppose we'll be shot of them anytime soon." Breathless mutters, finding herself slowly being sucked back into the constant worries of her deputy position. And only a few moments ago it had seemed like everything was going fine for once. She realizes that she had been staring at a clump of dirt on the ground and looks back at Clockwork. The young she-cat notes that he looks as bored as she feels. "Clockwork... would you like to come on a patrol with me? We have extra time and you could always pick up some herb on the way back for an excuse."

And then there was the word of 'herbs' being brought up.. Oh joy. Seeing as he had nothing better to do the white tom rose into a sitting position, stretching softly as he took Breathless' question into thought. Slumping his shoulders in a small shrug he gave a nod, "Sure.. I don't see what it could hurt.. Not like I have anything else to do, anyways.." He said with a nod as he stretched.

Breathless jumps back to her paws, glad to have something to do again. When she was an apprentice she had made a game out of patrols, just like bird hunting. She had tried to complete the whole patrol without being seen by anyone, but of course that game is now impossible since she's going with Clockwork. Still, she's glad he's going because talking is more interesting than hiding behind bushes and playing spy. "That's great! Maybe we'll even get to chase out a rogue." Breathless shakes some sand out of her fur and leads the way towards the border.

Clockwork couldn't hold back a smile of amusement, his green eyes going back to holding that calm nature as he swiftly followed after Breathless, his head held high and tail lashing to-and-fro in a fair sense of happiness, for once. "Sounds fun.." He continued on, giving off another chuckle as he watched Breathless. She seemed fairly happy. "Lucky her.." He thought, slightly rolling his green eyes at himself.

[valentine]

Breathless scents the air, checking to make sure that no Thunderclan or Bloodclan cats had been by. They hadn't so she moves on. Above her an owl pokes it's head out of it's nest and she watches it curiously, wondering if she'll ever catch one. That would be a fun thing to try. "You look happy." She comments after a few minutes of walking next to Clockwork. "Maybe you should do this more often."

(sorry for the short post)

Clockwork glanced upward when Breathless began speaking once again, the tom gave a thoughtful nod, slightly shrugging. "Well.. Yes, I do suppose I should.." He admitted swiftly, blinking his green eyes in a slightly thoughtful manner.

[valentine]

Breathless purrs. "That's good! It must be hard, stuck in camp all day." She suddenly snaps her muzzle shut and slides into a hunting crouch. "Shh." She hisses and creeps towards a wren which is pecking at something on a tree root. The wren looks up, seeming to sense that something is wrong, but Breathless leaps at the same moment and kills the bird in a heartbeat. "Look! This is the first wren I've ever caught." She meows happily.

"Yes... It gets annoying.." Said the white tom with an annoyed grimace at the thought. He glanced up, pausing in step as her hissed, 'Shh'. He blinked curiously, waiting in his slight sense of patience before giving a fairly amused smile. She seemed happy over this and so the white tom nodded, "Congrats."

[valentine]

Breathless purrs, pleased by the complement. "Thanks! I've caught twelve different birds now, I think. Anyways, do you want to share it? Birds are so much better when they're freshly caught."

"No thanks, I'm fine.." Answered Clockwork, gesturing that she should go on ahead. "Go on.." He said with a nod.

[valentine]

"Oh, alright." Breathless meows sadly. "There's no point eating alone so I guess I'll just come back for it later." She buries the wren next to an ash tree. After that she continues along the border.

Clockwork frowned slightly, watching Breathless for a second before the tom shook his head in a dismissive manner and swiftly carried himself after him with his sleek tail slowly lashing from side to side.

[valentine]

"Those awful Bloodclan cats have been hanging around our border again." Breathless says after noticing their scent for the second time. "I need to ask Crowstar if we should attack, though I don't like the idea of just Shadowclan against nasty cats like them. It wouldn't turn out well even if we won."

Clockwork grimaced in annoyance, shuddering. "I still don't understand why they decided to stay in the forest.." He mumbled under his breath, sneering at the thought. "Well.. We do have other allies." He admitted, nodding.

[valentine]

"Allies that would just as soon send a patrol to our camp to kill your kits in the same moment they send cats to help us fight Bloodclan." Breathless growls, thinking specifically of Windclan. "I prefer an enemy who tells us he hates us than an enemy who lies through his fangs. But... it's not so much my decision and we might have no choice." She shakes her head, dismayed. She'd have been much happier of there was a way for Shadowclan to somehow become independent of the other clans.

Skillet - Monster


My secret side I keep hid under lock and key
I keep it caged but I can't control it
'Cause if I let him out he'll tear me up, break me down
Why won't somebody come and save me from this, make it end?

I feel it deep within, it's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I hate what I've become, the nightmare's just begun
I must confess that I feel like a monster

- - - - - - - - - -



Clockwork blinked in silence, listening to Breathless with his ears occasionally twitching to show he was still paying attention. "Yes.. I agree... That damned Bloodclan.. It would've been best for us to run them out long ago, don't you think?" He asked with a slight grimace at the mere thought. He snorted, shaking his head softly. "Anyways, let's get back to hunting..? Do you want to..?"

[valentine]

"That or kill their leader before he even thought of making a clan." Breathless agrees. "Oh, hunting? Sure!" The brown and gold she-cat stops and sniffs the air. The smell of mouse spills out from behind a holly bush and she sinks down and creeps towards a spot from where she'll be able to see her prey.

Blinking in that fairly curious manner Clockwork listened to the last of her rambling, letting out a silent sigh of relief when she slunk away to catch the mouse. The toms ears pricked forward as he curiously watched. Of course he knew much for hunting but truly didn't care for it, that much.

Breathless stares down mouse and waits for it to move out from directly under the bush. After a few moments it complies and she launches herself into the air in a giant leap. The mouse looks up at the last moment but doesn't try and escape until her claws are already sunk into it's skin. The mouse squeaks quietly and then gives up on life. "Hah! Got it."

Releasing a smile of amusement and congratulation Clockwork calmly padded up to his Deputy-Companion with a curt dip of his head. "Good catch Breathless." He congratulated with a smile to the she-cat. "The clan, I'm sure, will be pleased with it."
