Watching...waiting.

(You don't have to call me Husky's heart,you can just call me Husky.)

Husky layed on a rock,sun bathing on her back,her front paws in the air.The light made her black and white fur look more gray and white than black.Her eyes were closed in happiness as joy eminated from her very being.It was paradise...just warmth...

[Midnight]

"Hi!" A large, brown tabby kit bounced over to a rock, on which a she-cat in his Clan lay. "I'm Rocky Stream!" He introduced himself. Though he should've been a softpaw probably about a moon ago, Rocky was still considered a kit as he and his littermates- Running Stream and Sweet Stream- had not yet received their ceremonies to train as softpaws. "Who are you?"

[husky]

"Oh,hi.I'm new here to CrescentClan.My name's Husky's Heart.but you can just call me Husky,"she smiled at the kit flicking her tail.

[Midnight]

"Okay!" Rocky said. He sat down and tipped his head to the side, "How are you, Husky? Do you like CrescentClan?"

[husky]

"Well...it does seem very nice.Especially with all this sunny weather at the moment,"she mewed rolling onto her stomach, "Sun bathing is one of my favorite things to do and your Clan has the best spots for it.That makes me very happy."She broke off with a smile.

[Midnight]

Rocky nodded, "Yeah, the warm weather's great!" His whiskers twitched in amusement as she said that CrescentClan has the best sunbathing spots. The tom shrugged, "I guess so, but I'm more one for battling with my littermates so I can be a great, strong sharpclaw!" The brown tabby puffed out his chest for a few moments before sitting regularly again.

[husky]

"Really...?"she looked down at him flicking her fluffy white tipped tail. "You know...sometimes courage like that can be good...but it can also be bad..." Her look changed to a sympathetic one. "Reminds me of my little brother..."she sighed.

[Midnight]

"Cats often tell me to be careful of my arrogance," Rocky said, rolling his eyes. "It's not like I'm evil or anything though.." His ears perked with curiosity at the last words Husky said, and he carefully asked, "What happened to your little brother?"

[husky]

"He was alot like that...one day our family ran into some other cats...they weren't kind at at all.Me and my little brother witnessed our parents being killed right in front of us...so much blood...The cats never stopped killing from the look of it,but my little brother kept telling himself not to run away.That running was a cowardly thing to do...And then...he tried to stand up to those cats and just started talking big,acting brave...but it ended up being the death of him.I saw all three dead bodies of my family laying there...It still haunts me to this very day..."she mewed with her head hung.

[Midnight]

Rocky's eyes widened slowly as the story went on. At the end he gulped slowly and shuddered, clearly scared. "Woah... I-I.." The tom was speechless. "but, it's got to be good to be courageous sometimes, right? He tried to kill those cats, didn't he?" The kit clearly regained his mouth and ability to talk. His mind whirled with questions but he didn't want to overwhelm Husky and he figured he'd already brought back bad memories for the she-cat and he didn't want to bring anymore.

[husky]

"No...he didn't try to kill them....he tried to talk sense into them...If I had the chance...I would have just taken his place...he was just so young..."she stopped clearing her throat,looking back at him still with that happy glint in her blue eyes, "but I'm sure...wherever he is...he's safe and happy...and thats all that matters..."

[Midnight]

"but still.." Rocky mumbled. He brightened up a bit and got over it as he saw a happy glint in Husky's eyes. The tom's tail flicked in impatience, "I hope I'm a softpaw soon... My littermates and I can't wait to start training! Hey, wouldn't it be cool if you got to mentor me?"

[husky]

"Sure.It might be.I've never really trained someone before...but I guess you'll never know till you try,"she mewed bringing up her paw to wash it. "You should try coming here at night...Its very peaceful with all the lightning bugs flying around."

[Midnight]

Rocky shrugged, "There are few cats who wouldn't make good mentors- and you don't seem to be one of those cats!" He listened to what she said after and his eyes seemed to glow in happiness, "That's awesome! I've always wanted to catch one when they fly around our nest, but Fish says that it's time to sleep and won't let my littermates and I get up to catch any.."

[husky]

Husky laughed a little getting down from the rock and patting his head with her paw. "Well all I can say is,you're gonna go far,kid.I'm sure of it,"she mewed, "I'll see you later.Got to hunt something or my belly will be barking at me for the rest of the day."
