Lonely (open)

[~Night~]

*Nightpaw slowly padded around the camp clearing. She was studying the clan members, wondering if any would be her mentor. With a sigh, she gave up and sat down, away from the others.*

[Rainy]

Redstorm padded into the camp clearing, eyes still a little sagging after sleeping. He woke himself up to get some work done instead of laying around. The cool afternoon air made his fur straight on it's end. It was sunhigh, but very cold. In the middle of leafbare, it was cold, all the time. Unfortuantly, leafbare was going to be over in about 4 moons. That was more than half the time a kit has to wait to become an apprentice.

Speaking of an apprentice, he glanced over to his right. There he saw an apprentice known as Nightpaw. Strangly, she didn't have a mentor. A reason he was oblivious to. He didn't want to ask why either. It could be a personal matter that wasn't any of his buisness. On top of none of his buisness, he didn't like to bring up personal matters.

He didn't really have any personal matters. His past was unexplainable to him. All he remembers is waking up and cats telling him he hit him head really hard. Long story short, he had no idea about his past. For a long time, he didn't even know who he was. He found himself, giving him a new name.

He sometimes wonders what his past life was like. Was it devestating? Was it exciting and carefree? What caused him to run at the speed on where he hit his head and his memory was lost? He asked himself these questions often, but didn't push to answer them. He was fine with his life now. A clan deputy! What an honor! Hopefully nothing bad would happen to Dawnstar. He couldn't imagen leading the clan in all their needs and worries. He could hardly deal with himself.

He loved his clan more than anything. He didn't know any other life besides his clan. All he knew was to protect, hunt, and fight with the warrior code as a propper guide. His clanmates to support him on whatever he choose to do.

He focused his mind back to the apprentice in front of him. I wonder how long I've been out of daze... "hello Nightpaw." He greeted with a friendly smile. His red eyes were blazing with compassion, his white fur glistening with the snow on the ground.

~Nightpaw's eyes grey wide. Usually nobody talked to her. Usually nobody would even notice her. Usually she just faded into the background.~ H-hello Redstorm ~She looked at her paws. She wondered how her parents would react if they found out that she had been talking to the deputy. They didn't want her around. They didn't want to kill her, but the way that they acted as if she didn't exist, and their plans to exclude her from their lives, made her wonder if she'd benefit the clan better by dying, or running away.~

Lightningtail walked into the clearing. He was wide awake, even after taking a long cat nap. He stretched and looked around, only to see Redstorm talking to Nightpaw. He didnt know Nightpaw that well, but he knew Redstorm from seeing him on deputy duties. Lightningtail walked up to the two cats. "Hey." Lightningtail said, twitching his whiskers happily and looking at the two cats.
