Tagging: Lionhearted, ShiverCry

Phantom yawned from his bed in the apprentices den, sure, he hadn't received his name yet, but still was allowed to sleep in the den. He looked out in the night sky and got up, making his way towards the warriors den. He poked his head into the opening and whispered for his two friends to meet him outside for their hunt.

[Lionhearted]

The gray tabby she-cat slid out of the warriors' den, stretching leisurely. The night sky was crisp and refreshing, and the sharp, cold breeze that was ruffling her fur felt like a breath of fresh air. Lightningfire inhaled and exhaled, watching the white vapor come out of her mouth and rise lazily into the air. Her eyes sparkled as she gazed at the stars momentarily, taking in the scenery. She would never get tired of TalonClan's view of the night sky.

She spotted her newfound friend, Phantom, sitting in the clearing by himself. What was a Phantom, anyway? Or was it just a regular name, like that Henry she met a while ago? Shrugging to herself, she approached him, smiling warmly. "Hi Phantom! Are you waiting for me to go hunting? I'm sorry I kept you waiting. Where do you sleep?"

[ShiverCry]

Rainfrost wasn't in the warrior's den like most cats were at this time of night. She couldn't get to sleep, and her paws itched to do something. So she went for a nice leisurely stroll around TalonClan. The bluish-grey she-cat loved the feeling of the crisp air tugging at her fur, and how the snow underpaw tickled her pads. It was a wonderful feeling, and one that she certainly wanted to experience again.

Spotting Phantom and... Lightningfire, is it? She padded over, feeling her sleek pelt ripple over her muscles. "Hello Phantom, Lightningfire. Sorry, I was taking a little pre-hunt walk outside." She flicked her ears in amusement, and licked her paw. It was still freezing from her walk in the snow. "I'm ready anytime." She added, flicking her gaze from Phantom to Lightningfire. Let's hope she's one of the good ones. Rainfrost thought, eyes flashing.

[Phantomspirit]

"Don't worry, I wasn't" he answered Lightningfire's question as Rainfrost padded up, telling them of her previous actions.

Phantom shook his fur of the frost coating it. Sure, he was used to the cold air back in the North, but snow was snow.
'What I would give for a longer pelt..' He thought humorously. He huffed the snow from his nose and began to spiritedly make his way to the entrance.

...

What? There was another she-cat? Lightningfire's eyes looked Rainfrost up and down, sizing her up. By the way her eyes glittered, Lightningfire already didn't like her. but it was too late to back out of this hunt. Plus, she had no good reason to do so. Her eyes narrowed, silently questioning Phantom. but he had already started to head for the entrance.

Lightningfire hurried to catch up. Maybe he wasn't as friendly as she'd thought. Hmph. I thought this was going to be private. Next time, tell me about the others. What was he going to be like in the future? Could she trust him?

It wasn't even supposed to be a big deal. but Lightningfire had already taken a liking to this seemingly-nice cat. Shrugging, she fell behind, trailing them. So far, she had nothing to say.

[Phantomspirit]

Phantom paused, he noticed the slightly betrayed look in his friends eyes. He followed her gaze to see Rainfrost and the gears clicked into place in his mind.

As they walked off, he slowed his pace to match Lightningfire's and whispered into her ear, "Lightningfire, I'm sorry this couldn't be private, Rainfrost was bored and really wanted to go."

[ShiverCry]

Rainfrost confidently padded at the head of the patrol, bringing her shoulders back to show off how broad they were. The she-cat had noticed how Lightningfire didn't seem to like her, but Rainfrost shrugged it off. Any cat that didn't like her, she wouldn't like back. Thankfully however, the other she-cat didn't seem to be like the "girly" she-cats who shunned Rainfrost for her tomboyish nature.

Rainfrost's ears flicked as she noticed Phantom lagging behind to talk to Lightningfire. She was slightly annoyed that he whispered to her. What could they be talking about that they don't want me to hear? She thought, but shook her fur. If it didn't have anything to do with her, what good would it do to get involved in it? The bluish-grey she-cat put it to the back of her mind, and continued to pad confidently ahead.

Rainfrost was leading the patrol with confidence, and Lightningfire flicked her ears. Was she trying to impress Phantom? Huh.

"Lightningfire, I'm sorry this couldn't be private. Rainfrost was bored and really wanted to go."

Was she really bored? I don't think so. Nice try! Abandoning Phantom, the gray she-cat ran up to Rainfrost, catching up to her. "Hi!" she exclaimed, falling in step with the other she-warrior. "I know your name, but I haven't really met you before. So how are you?" she asked in her most friendly voice. Was she the clingy type? Hopefully not. Lightningfire preferred freedom at times. "How did you meet Phantom?"

[ShiverCry]

Rainfrost felt genuinely surprised as Lightningfire approached her, but only signified it with a flick of her ears. "Hello Lightningfire." She replied. The warrior took a glance over at the other she-cat. She looks and sounds friendly enough. Rainfrost let herself relax. Perhaps Lightningfire wouldn't mind her personality. "How I met Phantom?" She chuckled a bit at the memory. "I was just out hunting one day, alone out in the snow, when I ran into a patrol. Turns out that patrol had found Phantom, so I joined in, curious." Her whiskers twitched as she remembered how she acted aggressive and dominant and she purred slightly. "I suppose I didn't make the best first impression, but we seem to be friendly enough now." She was silent for a couple moments before remembering to be polite. "What about you?"
