The Honey Is Sweeter When You Anger The Bees (tagged)

Honeyrain stomped her way into Heated Pool's boundaries not caring if prey was scared off. Feeling anger boil in her chest she couldn't pinpoint where it was coming from. She knew she was mad that Ashnight was off with another cat having kits and she didn't have Ivyheart anymore as a close friend....but it was her own fault. She shoved the caring tom away and stopped talking to everyone. Graceful.....
Walking to the edge of the water old feelings stared to creep up on the she-cat as she stared at her reflection in the waters. Honeyrain felt the familiar feeling of fear grip her legs and chest as she felt the water lap at her paws. Then pain squeezed her chest as memories flashed behind her eyes and she could practically smell Ashnight. Striking the water with a clawed paw, Honeyrain's face twisted into rage that lifted her lips over her fangs. Sorrow flooded her body and forced her eyes shut. Breathing deeply she counted, 

One...two...three...four....


Opening her eyes she blinked rapidly until she felt alone again and backed away from the Heated Pool. Clearing her throat she shook out her golden pelt and anxiously licked her chest fur. Honeyrain needed to get it together. She needed to forget the negativity and move forward stronger than ever. Leaving her family and coming to the Clans was supposed to be better for her, not cripple her.

Ivyheart headed down the cliff from where she was. Today was like a dream, she was quite tired. With just having fun with Boulderfall. She just sighed at the thought of his name. He was so handsome that was for sure and well she wanted to see him again alone. That would be nice. She just hoped that he wanted to as well. She hoped so, he kept calling her beautiful which was a first for Ivyheart. She really didn't consider herself very beautiful at all. but he seemed to think so, and she planned on keeping it that way. She hoped anyways, but then out of no where and bird flew up right in her face. She just stopped startled a bit, she wasn't making any noise at all. Which was usual for the tabby warrior considering she was an excellent hunter she just narrowed her green eyes and looked around for the culprit.

Honeyrain.

She just flicked her ears slightly. She just narrowed her eyes slightly at the golden warrior. She seemed unhappy about everything. but it made since a bit, when you get attacked and can't leave the medicine cat den you loose friends. She lost something even worse a mate. Ivyheart smiled slightly, she didn't feel bad about that. Considering she could easily get another tom wrapped around her claws with her looks and her friendly personality. She just then rolled her eyes. Before padding down towards the golden warrior. She wanted to go back to camp but she was more interested in what was wrong with the golden warrior. She just flicked her tail and said approaching, "You know most cats try to catch prey and not scare it off. You waste several good pieces of prey for someone to catch." Then the tabby warrior just looked at the golden warrior with a blank look on her face.

Ears swiveling to catch the sound of someone approaching her fur went hot. They probably saw her tantrum. Licking her whiskers Ivyheart's voice drifted through the air. "You know most cats try to catch prey and not scare it off. You waste several good pieces of prey for someone to catch." Turning slowly Honeyrain couldn't help it and said, "Well, I have a better chance of catching something while it's scared than if I'm sleeping." Twitching her whiskers she took a bit of the sting from her words. At this point she was at a loss of words. They hadn't seen much of each other nor had they talked. Clearing her throat Honeyrain looked up at the sky then quickly at her paws. It was an obvious unnatural quirk for the she-cat, she rarely felt out of place.

Ivyheart just laughed at Honeyrain's reply. It was unusual for the golden warrior to snap a reply like that. It was true that cat changed over time and it seemed like just like Ivyheart had changed Honeyrain had as well. The warm brown tabby warrior just shook her head and then said, "Dear you need to watch what you are saying. I don't sleep all the time. I have other things I do with my day." Then she just sat down thinking about Boulderfall and she knew that they weren't napping. She was actually working her tail off to get up that stinking cliff that the two warriors headed up. She was tired and well she wanted to just go back to her nest for the night and fall asleep but she couldn't not when Honeyrain was clearly pissed about something. With a slight sigh Ivyheart just asked with no sugar coating on her words. "Honeyrain, whats eating you? Come out you can't hold in the hurt any longer or your going to explode at someone." Then Ivyheart just blinked her eyes at the other warrior hoping that the other cat would tell her whats going on.

There was a difference with her old friend, something a bit more, compassionate. It was also true that Ivyheart spent more time awake these days going about places here and there. She was a bit softer around the edges, perhaps she had an interest in someone? Deciding to save her question Honeyrain felt the need to get it all out. The TalonClan warrior had taken enough time and ruined enough relationships by not talking. "It's very kittish, but I am rather upset with myself for letting Ashnight get away and now I've got to watch him parade around with another she-cat and have her kits. I'm aware it was my fault...that doesn't take the sting away." A small pebble of cold settled in her chest at the same time some tightness loosened up. "On top of that I miss you as a friend." Honeyrain kept her gazed on Ivyheart this time. 

The sun was still rather high, a bit past it's highest position and made the air feel a bit thick. It was already difficult to maintain a decent composure (for the golden warrior anyway) and now being forced to confront her unhappiness...the oddity was Honeyrain wasn't hot. She felt numbed and that little pebble had sunk to her paws. It felt as if she was standing in a puddle of water, slightly chilled, and it was working its way up her body a bit at a time.

Ivyheart just then took this at the moment to sit down. She felt like this cat was going to have a quite of bit to say. So she just then curled her tail around her paws. A yawned escaped from the tabby warrior. It was way past her bed time that was for sure. but she was going to be a good sort of friend. She really didn't know where she and Honeyrain were at this point. She just then blinked her eyes at her reason. It was pretty bad but it made sense. Because she did like Ashnight a lot it was only natural for her to feel that way. Ivyheart just then watched the golden she-cat. She just flicked an ear. She just then said, "Its not that kittish. You cared for him a lot. To watch him just disappear is something that nobody would want to see." Then she thought about Boulderfall having another she-cat prancing around him. She just dug her claws into the ground and pushed the thought out from her head. She didn't need to worry about that right now. She just then shrugged, about her and Honeyrain, Ivyheart and no idea what to think. She really did need another friend other than Mudbranch. She missed her best friend Tigerfang. but maybe she should allow Honeyrain to be her friend again. She seemed to be lacking in someone to talk to. but she would just have to see where it went from here.

A small flood of relief flushed through Honeyrain's chest at Ivyheart's words. At least she didn't sound crazy! Then a small laugh escaped her muzzle. It was light, nothing to write home about, but it lit up her features. "At least I didn't get one of his kits as my apprentice!" The thought dawned on her in just a split second. It was true. At least that hadn't happened. Who knew what she would have done. Well, she knew. She would have trained it like any other kit and helped it succeed. Honeyrain was hurt, but she wasn't malicious. Then she thought of getting the kit with his yellow eyes...that would have been like a slap in the face. 
Her thoughts came and went in just moments. There was no recognition in her eyes of the emotions that had filtered through. It was over with and she had Fallenpaw as her apprentice, not one of Ashnight's kits. "Enough about me. What's new with you? There's some sort of difference going on." Her honey colored eyes flashed teasingly as a small smirk twitched her whiskers.

Ivyheart watched the reaction of Honeyrain when she said that she wasn't kittish. She just then listened to the cat laugh and Ivyheart just didn't let anything come out of her mouth. She really didn't think it was that funny so she let the other she-cat finished what ever she needed to do. The tabby thought started drifting back to Boulderfall. but thats when the other warrior said something that brought the tabby back to her the present. When she heard that Ivyheart just laughed lightly. She personally thought it would have been funny if Honeyrain would have gotten one of the tom's kits. She just said, "Yeah but it would have been funny not going to lie." Then the tabby warrior just watched as the other cat seemed to have that look like she knew something. Ivyheart just heard the words from the warrior and groaned. She really didn't want to talk to much about her and Boulderfall. but she did like the tom more than she had liked any other tom. She just then sighed and said, "Hm... I just had one of my apprentices become a warrior. That was fun. Now I get more nap time." Then the tabby warrior just smiled at the other warrior. Just shrugged and said, "I guess you could say I meet a tom."

Whiskers twitching, along with her tail, Honeyrain nodded excitedly. "Mmhmm, mmhmm, congrats on the new warrior." Her voice was sincere but she obviously wanted to talk about this tom. She had never seem Ivyheart with anyone and this was great! Besides, the golden-reddish she-cat loved to hear about romantic interests. 

"Well, come on!" Poking the darkly colored, tabby warrior in the shoulder with her paw, Honeyrain laughed. 'What's his name?" The wind was slightly chilled, but the heat from the pool kept her warm. Not really even caring about the sun getting lower the TalonClan warrior relished in the on coming night. Finally she was making progress somewhere. Things stopped feeling so...hopeless. Steam rose from the water, curling delicately in response to the cool air. A muggy denseness took to the outer perimeter almost making Honeyrain uncomfortable. Shifting her weight around she sat with her tail curling and uncurling up her back.

Ivyheart just smiled and nodded to the she-cat with thanks about the new warrior. but she could just tell the she-cat was dying to know more about well Boulerfall. Honeyrain didn't know his name but she would soon. Ivyheart just tilted her head. Then she just then felt the poke. She just glared at Honeyrain, "You don't have to poke me that hard to show me what your thinking! Its shows on that pretty face of yours." She just then grumbled. And gave her pelt a few licks before looking back at Honeyrain. The golden tabby just seemed to be uncomfortable waiting. So Ivyheart just decided now was just as good as anytime to tell her old friend who she was interested in. She just said, "His name is Boulderfall." Then Ivyheart wondered if Honeyrain would even know the tom. She probably wouldn't because she really had only meet the tom and Honeyrain has been missing in action for a long time now. So Ivyheart just explained, "Its the new deputy, Thistlehawk's brother." Ivyheart just looked at Honeyrain wondering what the she-cat would think.
