I'm falling (Abing)

[Lionhearted]

Thrushleap couldn't sleep. Deputy. Deputy. He couldn't be happier... or sadder. He had no one to express his feelings too. Fangstar was too busy, and he was the leader. That would be awkward.

He sighed sadly. He never had a good friend. What was it like to have support? He'd always been in patrols, but they were all accomplices, and everyone had a mate or sister or best friend already. He wanted someone to himself, too, not be a third wheel or be in a clique. He wouldn't have anything to say.

"Damn," he mumbled.

Rosebriar's legs felt as if they would fall off. However, energy was bouncing in her, just wanting to leap up and run around. She tried to sleep but Rosebriar was unsuccessful.

This time, Rosebriar could hear the deputy. Her best was next to his. She clearly heard the word, "Damn." That mean't he was awake! "Thrushleap?" Rosebriar mewed quietly.

[Lionhearted]

"Thrushleap?"

"Ah!" Growling softly, he looked around. Thank goodness no-one was awake. "Oh, Rosebriar," he said to the energetic young cat, "what are you up to? It's late," he said in tiredness, implying that he wanted to be quiet. Hopefully, Rosebriar would leave him be to wallow in his loneliness. How could she be a friend? They would never click. Could they?

"What are you up to? It's late,"

A hint of annoyance flickered in Rosebriar`s eyes. "I was trying to sleep. WHat are you doing? Trying to get some sleep?" Rosebriar finally mewed. She stood up, rearranged her nest, and layed down. "Any ideas on how to get some sleep?" Rosebriar asked.

[Lionhearted]

"No," Thrushleap retorted, "otherwise, I'd be asleep, eh?" He sighed, and laid his head back on his paws. Getting the sense that nothing was to get done, he got up. "Whatever. I'm going for a walk." After a moment's hesitation, he gestured wordlessly with his tail. "Want to... want to go?"

[Deleted]

"Want to... want to go?" Thrushleap asked.

Risebriar eyed him for a second. She didn't believe whta he was saying. She rhouht over it for a heart beat before shrugging and deciding it was better to not try to figure Thrushleap out. "It'll give me something to do," Rosebriar mewed. Rosebriar stood up and started walking towards the entrace of the warriors den. She turned back to make sure Thrushleap was following her.

[Lionhearted]

Thrushleap followed her at a trot, momentarily miffed; he was supposed to be leading her, not the other way around. It wasn't good to argue such a small thing, so he remained stiffly quiet. Trying to break the awkwardness, he asked: "do you want to go anywhere?" There was no harm in that question.

[Deleted]

"Do you want to go anywhere?" Thrushleap asked.

Rosebriar could hear her body moaning. She could hear her head snapping at her body. Rosebriar blinked a few times. "Well, I suppose you have an idea?" Rosebriar mewed quietly. She didn`t let Thrushleap reply. "I was thinking we could go to the Abandoned Junkyard," Rosebriar mewed.

[Lionhearted]

Thrushleap stiffened. The Abandoned Junkyard? "Uh... ooookkkaayy..." he said. It definitely wasn't the place he'd had in mind. His mind was already turning around, imagining the terrors that could reside there at night- rats, Twolegs, other dangers. "Lead the way," he prompted, "but why do you want to go there, anyway?"

[Deleted]

Lead the way," Thrushleap prompted, "but why do you want to go there, anyway?"

Rosebriar looked back at the tom. A sparkle of amusement shone in her amber eyes. "Would you rather stay stuck in the warriors den trying to fall asleep?" Rosebriar mewed playfully. "Come on! Nothing's going to hurt you!"

[Lionhearted]

"I know," Thrushleap retorted loftily, "but seriously, there's better places to go in the night..." sighing, he followed the energetic young she-cat to the Junkyard. "Sooo... what exactly do you want to do here? Practice jumping, or just catching rats? 'Cause if you want to play a game, I'm going!"

"Sooo... what exactly do you want to do here? Practice jumping, or just catching rats? 'Cause if you want to play a game, I'm going!"

Hmm... What should I do? Rosebriar flicked her tail a few times. Her senses were unaware that she did so. The young warrior was busy thinking up of what should be done once they reached the Junkyard. Finally, Rosebriar mewed, "Well, there's no sense in letting the prey run away." Rosebriar's tail curled around gee body as she serenely sat upright. She let her eyes rest on Thrushleap for a second. Her amber eyes quickly darted towards her sleeping clanmates. She bit her lip. "We probably should be more quiet," Rosebriar mewed softly.

[Lionhearted]

Thrushleap nodded, and walked outside. "You're saying we should eat rats?" Wrinkling his nose, he shook his head. "Uhh, not a good idea. There could be dangerous feral dogs." Flattening his ears, he backed away into the den a bit, squirming uncomfortably under Rosebriar's sudden stare. "It stinks over there, too," he complained.

[Deleted]

"It stinks over there, too," he complained.

Rosebriar rolled her eyes. "I'm sure our great deputy can handle a few dogs. They shouldn't be a problem for WhisperClan's great deputy," Rosebriar sarcastically mewed. She gave Thrushleap a quick smile. "No, silly! Maybe we should go someplace where there is lots of prey?" Rosebriar suggested. She glanced nervously around the warriors den, hoping every cat else was still asleep.
