Autumnfur's Day

[Darkstar100]

Autumnfur padded slowly over to the fresh kill pile, her bright eyes clear, a smile on her face. She limped on her left paw a bit, though she didnt flinch. The wound had been inflicted long ago, and it hardly hurt the young she-cat, and if it did, she hid it well. At times, of course, her injured paw ached. The tortoiseshell she-cat paused, her ears flicking, her left paw raised, but she padded on, her gaze fixed firmly on the fresh kill pile. As she reached, she saw a fat pike on the top. "After this, i'll go hunting." The young she-cat decided, firmly fixing her jaws around the pike. Autumnfur smiled as she padded beside the warriors den. She lay down and set the pike in front of her, and began to eat.

Also, please write your quotes and the words that come after it ("After this, I'll go hunting," the young she-cat decided, firmly fixing her jaws around the pike) bold font. Please do the similar with thoughts, except make them all italic, not bold.

IC: Lightbird drowsed outside the warriors den, soaking up the first rays of sunlight of the day. Her eyes narrowed to slits, she stared up into the sun, trying not to allow her mother's words ("Lightkit, never look up at the sun, even if your eyes are narrowed to slits!") to creep into her thoughts. 'Mom is dead,' she told herself. 'She can't tell me what to do from up in StarClan.'  Raw grief slit her heart as she thought of the last few moments she had spent with Daisyfeather.

She heard pawsteps heading toward her, and the muffled sound of a cat laying down on the packed DappleClan earth. Lightbird opened her eyes fully, and unfurled herself from her curl. Raising her head slightly, she purred at Autumnfur, flicking her tail welcomingly. "Hello, Autumnfur! That's a nice looking pike. Did you catch it?" Her belly rumbled, and Lightbird ducked her head in embarrassment, licking her white chest fur to hide her humiliation. "Excuse me...." she mumbled.

[Darkstar100]

Autumnfur looked up and smiled. "No, i didnt." She meowed. She flicked her ears as Lightbird's stomach let out a rumble, and she ripped off half of the pike, tossing it over to her in a friendly-like manner. The tortoiseshell quickly finished her own half and rolled onto her side. She began to groom, rhythmically moving her head as she licked her side repeatedly.

OOC: "No, I didn't," she meowed.

//Remember to put everything in bold~

IC: Lightbird blinked gratefully at her friend, and tore into her half of the pike. "This is great!" she mumbled around her meal. "Compliments to whoever caught this.... It's a pity the smell of water has washed away the cat's scent. Then I would know who to compliment!" The gray-and-white she-cat purred with amusement, finishing off her pike with a flourish of famished bites.

She buried the bones under the soft earth, and scraped earth back onto it. She used one forepaw to pat down the dirt so that it was flat, and laid down beside Autumnfur. Lightbird leaned forward and began rasping her tongue over her friend's shoulder, scraping dirt off from her pelt. "What did you do today?" she asked, wanting to start a conversation.

[Darkstar100]

Autumnfur felt her friends tongue rasp around her shoulder gently and she smiled. "Nothing much, i just woke up. I was going hunting later on, maybe at Sun-high," She meowed, looking at the sky. The sun was still rising. "Wanna join me later?" The tortoiseshell asked. She half closed her eyes, a purr gentle in her throat as she began to groom her friends ears.

Lightbird let out a trill of delight, her tail flicking excitedly. She had hunted just yesterday, but it felt like moos ago. "Of course I'll come!" the gray-and-white splotched she-warrior purred. "I can't wait to sink my teeth into a water vole's neck. While we're out, d'you want to go fishing as well? I want to see if I can catch something as huge and fat as this pike."

Giving Autumnfur's shoulder once last lap of her tongue, the warrior leaped to her paws. She nudged her friend, trying to encourage her to get up quickly. "It's not sunhigh yet, but I want to just sit outside of camp, away from this strong smell of roses." Lightbird gave a pointed look at the thorny rose bushes that made up the DappleClan cat wall.

"Dovestar, Dovestar, Dovestar. Grah! It's always Dovestar these days! Jeez, since when did she become the subject off of every cat's conversation? I don't see how she's so great! The only think Dovestar can say is that she is the most horrible leader ever. What's so good about that?" Mottledshadow muttered, obviously very annoyed. She paced back and forth, wishing she could have ripped all of the former's leader's lives and killed her sister, but it was too late to be wishing that. The calico reminded herself to be thankful that no cat had discovered her deep dark secret. With a shrug or perhaps two, Mottledshadow grunted. She was still fuming because Lightbird didn't have the decency to say 'thankyou' after Mottledshadow saved her studious sister's worthless life. Shooting a haughty glance at Lightbird seeming to enjoy her day, Mottledshadow suddenly was overwhelmed with the urge to destroy Lightbird's stupid life. She shook her head and resisted the urge. Instead, Mottledshadow decided to just watch her dear dear sister with hateful amber eyes.

Mottledshadow made a disgusted face when she saw her sister start to talk to the most stupidest cat in all of the clans: Autumnfall.Grudgingly, the cruel she-cat lumbered over to the two, giving both a glare. She paused for a moment as the more kind and generous (and unexpected) part of her stopped Mottledshadow in her tracks. Cocking a glance at the two, she had to admit, it would be just simply mean to interrupt it. However, with a sense of ruining Lightbird`s day, Mottledshadow promptly stalked towards them. "Wouldn`t it just be delightful if one of those beautiful roses wrapped it`s thorns around you and squeezed the life out of you?" Mottledshadow purred in a silky tone.

Lightbird sensed her sister's cruel presence even before she started to harass her and Autumnfur. She slowly turned her head towards Mottledshadow, annoyance bubbling inside her. Anger threatened to overflow as well, but Lightbird forced it down. I'm supposed to be having a good, fun day with Autumnfur. Out loud, she meowed sarcastically, "Oh, yes, Mottledshadow. It would be splendid! If only one of those bushes could come alive and slither like a snake toward us, and wrap us into our death bed." She gave Mottledshadow an irritated look, and turned back to Autumnfur.

[Darkstar100]

(Autumnfur isnt dumb!!)

Autumnfur narrowed her eyes at Mottledshadow, anger threatening to spill through her lips. Preparing to throw a sharp retort at the she-cat, Autumnfur forced her fur flat, a forced smile curling at the ends of her lips. "If only a twoleg dog would come here and tear you apart, Mouse-Brain. Go bother someone else. All you do is ruin cats days. How do you feel about your self? Not good, i hope, or you have serious problems. Go and be a rogue!" She spat. And with that, the tortoiseshell she-cat turned back to Lightbird. "Is she always like that?"

Autumnfur cast an irritated glance at Mottledshadow, her green eyes hard, threatening, before she returned her gaze to Lightbird. The tortoiseshell huffed. "Come on, lets go." She meowed. Mottledshadow had officially ruined this day. Stupid cat. She might as well go into a fox den. Autumnfur thought irritably.

[Sunny]

OOC: We know Autumnfur isn't stupid, it's just Mottledshadow's personality.

IC: Lightbird sighed in annoyance. "Yes, she pretty much is like this all the time," she grumbled. She stood up with Autumnfur and shook out her pelt. Nudging her friend's shoulder and padding toward the Azalea bush, she flicked her tail sharply over Mottledshadow's muzzle, purposefully stepping on her paw.

She ducked under the hanging branches of the Azalea bush, and entered the well-worn tunnel. Sliding through the thorn-free bush and emerging on the other side, she sat beside a rose bush to wait for Autumnfur.

OOC2: Let's wait for Winter Sunflower.

[Darkstar100]

OOC: Ok.

IC: Autumnfur lashed her tail once as she glanced again at Mottledshadow. Fur spiked, she angrily made her way out of camp.

She sat beside Lightbird, tail flicking angrily. She began to think. She had always been nice to her Clanmates. Every one of them. Should she even try to be nice to Mottledshadow? Probably not. Knowing her! She hissed suddenly in annoyance.

... take the dangerous path

The lovely she-cat smirked. She enjoyed pissing off her clanmates. Mottledshadow was a cruel cat and that was the result of her little patients. Padding quietly behind them, she pondered over how she might exact her revenge. It had to include Autumnfur - that was for certain. She gazed at her clanmates secretly, her thoughts mixed with killing and manipulating. Smirking, Mottledshadow exited out of the camp, keeping a close eye on her sister.

She would not deny it. She wanted her family and her clanmates dead.

Ugh, forgive me for the really short reply. I'm writing a fanfic (Alex Rider one, yes, I'm a big fan of the Alex Rider series) so my muse is being drained big time.

[Darkstar100]

Autumnfur felt Mottledshadow's gaze trained on her. She turned around and snarled at Mottledshadow, anger making her eyes look more threatening. "Listen, Mottledshadow, leave us alone or ill tell the leader exactly how evil you are." She snapped, showing her sharp fangs. "And dont think i wont."

Autumnfur's eyes were dark. Obviously she was about to spring. She kept her anger pushed down, but she couldnt help a snarl from playing on her lips. She was annoyed, furious, and irritated. And when Autumnfur was all those at once, her target had better watch out!

And right now, her target was Mottledshadow.
