Why am I even here? (Thunderbird)

[nomstar]

Flight of the Thunderbird, here is a thread for Shadedcreek and Fawnmist.

The pretty brown she-cat padded through the territory. She was lost in her thoughts. What should I do with Sleekpaw tomorrow? She didn't mean to go anywhere in particular and found herself outside of the Odd Cave. Her mentor had taken her here when she was an apprentice. Fawnmist had been intrigued by the drawings on the walls and now that she was so close to them, she decided to go and look at them again. She bounded nimbly inside, glad to feel the cool air touch her pelt. I wonder who put these paintings here? She peered up at them through the darkness. Did Starclan out them here? Are they a message? She saw one of the paintings near the bottom of the wall that she hadn't noticed before. It was a queen with her kits all snuggled up. I wonder if I'll ever have kits... She kept looking at the walls, fascinated by the paintings, her pale brown pelt barely viable in the darkness.

Whispers, whispers. Little rumors and lies. Shadedcreek thought. The apprentices have been spreading rumors again and this time it involved -him-. He honetly really didn't care, he wasn't the main subject anyways. He just wanted it resolved.
He wasn't really paying attention where he was going, and suddenly he bumped into a smooth but jagged in some places stone wall . Oh my, he thought. This is the Odd Cave. Shrugging, he decided it wouldn't hurt to go inside and take a look at the strange drawings. He always thought they were signs from StarClan, and he also thought the cave drawings al had some importance, each represtenting the future of one or more cat(s).
Shadedcreek padded inside, then realized there was another cat in there. He sniffed the air. Fawnstep, defitnatly, he thought.
Fawnstep was pretty. They'd talked a few times, and she was always really nice. I might as well say hi, he thought.
He found Fawnstep at the back of the cave. She was looking at a picture of a queen and her kits snuggled up together, so sweet. I wish I had kits, Shadedcreek suddenly thought. Maybe some day. Someday.
He walked up straight behind her and meowed softly, "Hello Fawnmist"[/I]
Ooc- Sorry for taking so long to reply! Thunderbird is lazy.

OOC: No worries :D

She looked round as another cat entered the cave. Hello Fawnmist. She smiled in the darkness. Shadedcreek. He's nice and... kinda handsome. The she-cat blinked her green eyes and stood up to greet her clanmate. Hello. She almost purred. She sat down again and kept looking at the paintings. Her eyes wandered towards towards a pair of cats who were curled up together. She tipped her head slightly to the side as she studied it. Their pelt almost blended together as they were curled up together. That would be nice to have some like that who you could trust with our life and who you could spend every waking moment with. Fawnmist coudn't resit a glance towards Shadedcreek. No, She told herself sternly, he is nice and all but...

[Flight of the Thunderbird]

"Hello," Fawnmist said. She seemed to be gazing at a painting of two cats, entwined together, bodies almost blending together. They seemed to be so happy. I wonder if I'll ever have someone like that for me, Shadedcreek thought. Since he was behind her, he could observe her, since he never got the chance to actually look at her although they had a few convesations before.
Fawnmist was pretty. Her fawn-coloured pelt was certainly striking; and when she turned around Why did she turn around? he got a glimspe of her eyes. Pretty leaf green.
He felt a sorta weird feeling, but not a bad feeling. Not a bad feeling at all.
No, Shadedcreek thought, No. That's just wrong
"So," Shadedcreek was finnaly able to manage, "What brings you here on this nice day?" He smiled awkwardly.
Ooc- Sorry for this weirdness in this post. It's so awkward..

[nomstar]

She looked down at her paws. Well, you see I was just walking and found myself here. She felt a strange feeling rise up inside of her as she saw Shadedcreek looking at her. Fawnmist couldn't explain the feeling but she liked it. It made her feel as if she could run a hundred fox lengths, climb the highest mountain, jump as high as the sun and fight the toughest badger. This energy filled up inside of her and funneled up into her paws then back round into the tip of her tail. Her eyes glowed as she thought about the painting of the cats on the wall. She tried to name this strange energy. I... I just don't understand where all of this is coming from...? She managed to gain control of her actions and murmur, What about you? I mean, why are you here? Today. Whilst I'm here...

[Flight of the Thunderbird]

Shadedcreek listened intently at Fawnmist's comments. "Well, you see, I was just walking and found myself here." She seemed to pause for a moment, looking a little, no very uncomfortable, her face was sort of frozen in a confused way, when she finnaly awkwardly muttered out "What about you? I mean, why are you here? Today. Whilst I'm here..." Shadedcreek felt awkward. Really awkward. He sorta felt all flittery inside, like he had swallowed a whole butterfly. "Well, honestly, I wasn't watching where I was going, then I just bumped into one of the rock walls..." Shadedcreek honestly thought he was going to die from embarrassment, if that was possible. Just... Fawnmist. So beautiful, brown pelt, white ticking. Wonderful green eyes. What.. What is this? Shadedcreek thought.
OOC- Do you believe in crushes/love in first thread?

[nomstar]

OOC: Yes I do. I have a pairing where my cat just instantly fell in love with the other, but I don' mind doing a few threads.

She was so embarrassed. She looked down at the floor. What should I say? This is so awkward... She stood up and stretched before mewing, Do you want to go for a walk...? It's just kind of b-boring in here. We could go to the Willow Tree or something... In her mind she pictured the beautiful tree. It's soft pink leaves. Just like the fur on a cat. Just like the lovely fur on Shadedcreek... What? Why would I think that. It's not as if I like him. She looked out into the forest, suddenly itching to be out and about. 

[Flight of the Thunderbird]

OOC- Sorry for delay and me too! Should they fall in love in this thread? I thought I posted but I'm having some bug problems now so...
Fawnmist looked sorta embarrassed before she stood up, stretched and said "Do you want to go for a walk? Its kind of b-boring in here.. We could go to the willow tree of something... Shadedcreek smiled at the mention of the willow tree. Willow trees... So beautiful... Just like Fawnmist. His heart beater in his chest so loud he swore he could hear it. Could this be love? he thought. I won't mind finding a mate now, especially if she's Fawnmist... I wonder what she thinks of me. Then, he realized he had a question to answer, so he stuttered out, "Su-sure! Let's go!"

[nomstar]

OOC: Now worries. And yes, they should. Sorry if I powerplayed a little here...

Su-sure! Let's go! She bounded out of the cave with Shadedcreek by her side. They headed out through the territory until the companions reached the Willow Tree. The soft pink leaves seemed to shimmer in the light, rustling slightly in the wind. The light brown warrior stopped at the roots and looked over at Shadedcreek. Her green eyes sparkled as they fell upon his sleek pelt and his beautiful eyes. No... That is just wrong. She fought against the feeling, but it continued to tug against her belly, her fur and her mind. I... I can't. He's nice... but... She finally managed to mew Umm... Well, what do you want to do now? She ruffled up her fur in embarrassment. Maybe I do like him... No... but maybe...

[Flight of the Thunderbird]

"Umm... What do want to do now?" Fawnmist sort of ruffled up her fur, in embarrassment or other wise, Shadedcreek didn't know. Shadedcreek just couldn't not think about the lovely she cat huddled beside him. Her eyes, such a pretty green, her pelt, always welly grommed and sleek. And he really liked the white spots on her flank. He always had liked patterns like that. And the sparkle in her eyes... There was the feeling again. That feeling, that wonderful, joyful feeling, like warmth spreading though his body. I have the feeling this is love, Shadedcreek thought. It just seems so right. Should I tell her? Yes. Shadedcreek was a straightforward honest cat. He wouldn't hide his feelings. He would just start a conversation, then, once they got the conversation going, he would tell her. "So, how's it going? Life, I mean?" If a cat could blush, Shadedcreek would be blushing so red right now...

[nomstar]

She hesitated before speaking. Great! I m-mean, everything is good. She glanced at him again and felt warmth spreading through her. This feeling again. What is it? I've never felt it before tonight. She tried to smooth down her fur. This is so awkward right now... She glanced round at the tree behind her. It's pink leaves rustled in the breeze, soft and beautiful. Not the only beautiful thing here tonight. Once again, she looked at Shadedcreek. His dark pelt gleamed in the light that filtered down from above the canopy. His eyes gleamed and created a flitting feeling inside of her heart. She glanced down, now embarrassed. Do you want to c-climb the tree or something..? She just wanted to get the feeling of embarrassment out of her pelt. 

[Flight of the Thunderbird]

OOC- SO SIRRY FOR NOT RESPONDING! LIFE HAS KEPT ME BUSY! *slapsmyself for using an excuse*v
"Great! I m-mean, everything is good." Was it just him, or did she hesitate and stutter? She seemed sort of confused after, like she had a strange feeling, and she glanced at him again. I wonder what's bothering her, Shadedcreek thought. Is it... That feeling? That strange feeling. That one he always felt with Fawnmist. She seemed to keep glancing at him, and was that.... A sparkle if admiration in her eyes? Shadedcreek almost leaped with joy but he contained himself, thinking, I know this is love.I know. How will this unfold? Will she like me? He couldn't help steal a glance at Fawnmist. Her fur was so perfect, the white speckles shining is the light that filtered though the leaves. Her eyes were green, green like fresh new leaves, and sparked as if the leaves were covered with dew. Since when did I become so eloquent? he silently joked to himself.
Then, Fawnmist interrupted the awkward silence by saying "Do you want to c-climb the tree or sonething?" she suggested. She seemed so embarrassed... And Shadedcreek was so embarrassed... "Sure, why not?" he replied. It's not like I have anything better to do. It would also break the awkwardness and embarrassment...

[nomstar]

Sure, why not? She smiled. Just as she was padding over to the trunk of the tree, her pelt brushed against Shadedcreek's. A pleasant tingle ran down her spine a she launched herself into the tree. When she was on the lowest branch, Fawnmist looked down. Did I mean to brush against him like that? No, I didn't. Yet, she wasn't too sure. I'm just going to keep on climbing. She dug her claws into the soft bark and hauled herself higher and higher into the tree. Finally, the she-cat burst from the leaves at the top of the tree. She looked around at the forest, birds now just tiny dots in the distance and the tops of the trees so close to her. Fawnmist couldn't see Shadedcreek below her, thanks to all of the leaves. Once again, she looked out into the world. The sun had began to set, staining the sky tones of pink and orange. Under her breath she murmured, The best view in all of the clans.
