A moment to myself (open)

[misshazel]

Sun high glittered off the snow as Greysnow stepped out of camp. Puffs of air emitted as he panted. Kneading the ground tenderly, he wondered if this morning was such a good time for a walk after all? Leafbare was his least favorite season of all. He hated to feel helpless to his clan mates. No matter if anyone wanted to admit it or not, all the clans suffered in some way during leaf bare. Greysnow blinked and stared at the enormous pines his thoughts had brought him too. He was nearly over the stormclan border if he was not careful. They were sneaky cats, couldn't be trusted, always hiding and looking for a cat to step out of line. That was almost him, luckily he caught himself and took a step backwards. Arching his neck slightly he peered over the mountain edge into the other territory. "Why were the other clans so different?" He couldnt help wondering to himself, "or were they?" Gatherings were his favorite time, when all the clans got together under the full moon and talked about what was going on. Greysnow loved mingling with the other cats, his sister Mudfire, only spoke to the cats within whisperclan. CRACK! Greysnow jumped and his pelt fluffed out twice his size. Looking down he lifted up his paw and realized it was he that had stepped on a pile of twigs. Greysnow couldnt help but purr and laugh at himself, "a little jumpy are we?"

A springy, thin young warrior bounded through the territory. You'd think that, since she had trained an apprentice and been a warrior for over half her life now, she would stop acting like a kit. You're incorrect. Adderflight acted like a kit all the time. She did whatever she found enjoyable, even if it classified as 'crazy'. Talking to herself and inanimate objects was just one of the things. Adderflight lived in the moment, never looking ahead and never thinking much about the past. Which was why she nearly bounded right across the border with StormClan. She inched back, tilting her head and sniffing the air. Only WhisperClan scents - a very strong WhisperClan scent. She looked around and was rewarded by some pawprints. Spotting a very fun game, she followed them, nose to the ground like a bloodhound. She soon found the slinking pace she'd been going at bore-some, so she sped up a bit, jogging along the tracks.

At some point, she must have been side tracked, because she's lost her little trail. With a dejected sigh, she turned around, planning to head back to camp and find Hawkbreeze and egg him into a dare of some sort. It was then she heard a loud crack. Her ears stood straight up and her face brightened - the hunt was back on! Taking off at a very speedy sprint toward the noise, she got there in no time and hurled herself at the other cat, claws sheathed with a less than fearsome roar.

Greysnow yowled in terror and shock as he tumbled through the snow. Another cat was attacking him, was it a stormclan patrol? His heart beat fast as he tussled in the snow, the other cats claws were sheathed? With a sweep of his hind end he knocked his body into the other cat then lunged himself on top. Panting, he looked down at a pale grey she cat, a familiar cat. "Adderflight?" Greysnow lept off the lithe she cat and took a step back. His pelt grew hot with embarrassment, that was probably the worst fight ever and he was completely thrown off guard. "That was, uh..a good one" Greysnow scuffed the ground with his paw. He must have looked ridiculous with his pelt covered in snow but then she too had snow clinging to her fur. Adrenaline was still running through him at the thought of running into a stormclan warrior. "I thought you were a stormclan patrol, you startled me, what are you doing out here by yourself?" Greysnow cocked his head to the side.

Adderflight didn't even try to put up a fight, instead just lying there and shaking in uncontrollable laughter. "Got you!" She crowed, though it wasn't much of a brag as she was the one pinned down. She rolled to her feet, snow making her pale grey pelt messy. She temporarily busies herself with making little piles of snow and stepping on them to flatten them. "I'm out here alone because I got bored and then I found your tracks, which was fun!" She meowed, smiling.
