A Strange Meeting [Sand]

[Deleted]

Sand After Mintpaw had done her daily duties she was hit with one of the occasional sudden urges of curiosity about her family. 'Oh come on I know I'll never find them...' she thought but this did not stop her hope so she decided to try to go to Starclan for answers, as she thought none came but suddenly she felt something drawing her to the Pond of Truce. Mintpaw didn't know the route she was taking all she knew was that she was being drawn the the Pond of Truce as she got there she sat down on the edge of the pond. She thought she could hear faint laughing... a scream the few memories she had of her family and strained her ears to listen more closing her eyes and blocking out all other senses, if she had been alert she would have noticed another cat scent coming her way.... one from another clan she would have also noticed that she was unconsciously creeping closer to the pond. Just as was about to fall into the pond a rustling in the bushes snapped her back into reality. "Who's there!" she said sternly.

OOC: This is my first forbidden relationship, but I think one of the rules about it say we need to post a thread or something somewhere..... Could you do it so I can see how it's done?

[Sand]

ooc: I'll do it, but I don't usually do it. I'm only doing it because I have no plans on making Tallpaw leaved his clan for love.

Tallpaw twitched in his sleep like he was having a bad dream and woke with a start gasping for breath his heart racing. He scrambled to his paws trying to remember the dream that he had, of course he didn't know his mother but he had a feeling that the dream was about his mother. His mother had died giving birth to him and his sister making his father responsible for them. The tom let out a sigh wondering why he had to feel like an outcast. Shaking himself he headed out of the apprentice den flicking his ears back and forth. His eyes scanned the clearing but he didn't see anything so he decided that it was okay to go out for a walk. Slipping out of the camp the apprentice broke into a run letting his mind wander. He snapped out of his thoughts when he tripped stumbling into some bushes. The sound of a voice made him snap his head up and he pushed his way out of the camp eying the other cat warily. "Another apprentice who can't get a wink of sleep, guess that makes me a loser right?" he meowed tilting his head to the side his face an emotionless mask.

OOC: Okay (WRITERS BLOCK HAS TAKEN OVER)

As Mintpaw realized the cat was just another apprentice she relaxed her shoulders a little, but was still alert this cat was from a different clan and some apprentices could fight just like a well trained warrior. Looking at his expressionless face she thought in her mind that he might be different from most apprentices "No not really, but why are you here?" she asked the tom as the two apprentices stood in the twilight, wind rustling the leaves slighting.

[Sand]

"As I said I couldn't sleep, so I went for a walk hoping it would help to clear my mind enough to help me with sleep," Tallpaw meowed moving no closer to her. He remained some foxlengths away from her studying her. He wasn't big on the whole trust thing especially if the cat wasn't a cat from his own clan. He had, had a hard time wrapping his mind around the fact that his deputy was a former Leafclanner, he had been astonished that a cat would willingly break the warrior code. 'Aren't I breaking the code, by talking to this other apprentice?' he asked himself talking a pace back only to sit down and curl his tails over his paws.

[Deleted]

"Understandable." Mintpaw said to the apprentice with a bit of spite in her tone. As she watched the tom sit down she did the same 'Shouldn't hurt if I sit down too, at least if he's also sitting down he doesn't have an advantage of height if he were to attack me.' she thought, all senses now fully alert and out of the 'dreamy' mode she was in when first coming to the pond. "Whats your name?" she asked causally. 'Better not try to raise suspicion.' she said silently to herself.

[Sand]

Tallpaw watched the other apprentice, of course he was still eying her warily, he wasn't really one to trust others easily. 'I wonder what my mother would say to me if she saw me talking to a cat from another clan, it isn't like we're doing anything,' he thought gazing up at the sky. The tom let his gaze drop away from the sky and returned his attention to the apprentice. "Wouldn't if have been more polite to give up your name before asking me what mine was. Oh, who cares, any way my name is Tallpaw not that it matters. And you, what is your name?" he asked her the tip of his tail twitching.

[Deleted]

'So his name is Tallpaw... hmm pretty useless information but at least I can address him now.' Mintpaw thought "My name is Mintpaw, and yes it would have been more polite to give you my name but I'm not really one for manners." she answered Tallpaw with the spite in her voice gone down a bit, she actually sounded like an average apprentice instead of an annoyed elder.

[Sand]

"I'm not either, actually I could care less about my clan mates, most of them are annoying," Tallpaw meowed thinking of his mentor and how his mentor was training his daughter at the same time. "My sister is the only one I care for in clan, my father is pathetic always mourning," he meowed. "What about you, do you have a reason to not have any manners," he asked her frowning.

ooc: I was thinking that they could get in a fight not now but after a few threads before they become warriors. Tallpaw has trouble admitting his feelings so that could be a thing they fight about. Then they can meet later on as warriors and realize they have feeling for each other. I really like role-playing them together already.

[Deleted]

"My reason I guess is that I wasn't brought up with manners, the she-cat that took care of me was mainly occupied with her own kits and didn't have time to give much attention to the kit that parents were unknown." she told Tallpaw "Oh right you don't know, my parents kinda dumped me in the camp and didn't tell anyone who's kit I was but I think they're both somewhere in my clan." she said with her tone growing angry at the thought of what her parents did and then her tone evened out. 'Oh crowfood, did I actually just give that much information out?' she thought as she had not meant to say that much but then again, she had been a chatterbox even as a kit.

OOC: That's a really good idea. Sure!

[Sand]

"My mother died giving birth to me, I think I was suppose to have an aunt and uncle on my fathers side but they just disappeared any day," Tallpaw meowed his eyes suddenly darkening. "Not as if I care...after all I can't care about cats I never even met," he meowed. "I'm not good with all the sympathy stuff," he meowed blinking at her. Right now his face was an emotionless mask, he wondered how things would have been if his mother hadn't died.

[Deleted]

As Mintpaw listened to the silver tom tell her about his past she noticed that his eyes darkened. When he had finished she said to him "Me neither, I just get angry at the thought of what they did." she said as this was completely true. Remembering that he had recently said he had a sister she said "So whats your sister like? I haven't got any siblings, well that I know of I seriously wouldn't be surprised if my parents actually hid my littermates from me when I was born."

[Sand]

"Honestly me and my sister are pretty much exact opposites, she's is more out going and doesn't push others away like I do," Tallpaw meowed frowning. "I'm not big on trusting my feelings," he meowed glancing at her. "What I hate most about my clan mates is that they act like they know me when they don't, I mean my clan mates know me but they act like they know everything about me," he meowed rolling his eyes.

[Deleted]

"My Starclan, That is so annoying! Cats in my clan do that too, I mean I'll have a few conversations with them and then boom! They start acting all buddy-buddy with me and then when I get angry at them for that they go off at me saying I'm mean and blah blah blah. You get it right?" Mintpaw told Tallpaw and even though they were from different clans, and she didn't really trust him yet, she was happy they were able to relate to something.

[Sand]

"Yes, my clan mate think they know me, I don't really have any friends in my on clan mates probably because they don't try and get to know the real me and I end up getting cross with me. The last clan mate I got cross with said I would die alone if I didn't change my attitude," Tallpaw meowed rolling his eyes. "Sometimes it's almost like I can't decide anything for myself," he meowed glanced at the she-cat he wasn't any closer to trusting her.

[Deleted]

Mintpaw snorted in agreeance, she really did know the feeling. Cats would act like you were a kit that makes friends easily, then they'd get all angry at you when you got angry at them. Seriously? You should be the one getting angry in that situation! Mintpaw was about to say something and had her mouth open to say it when she noticed to sun was about to rise. "We both need to get going now, well I do anyway my clanmates will notice that I'm gone. Me and my friends come here every moon a few times for the thrill of it so I might be here in two days and I normally stay here alone for a while after they've gone." she said to Tallpaw without thinking. 'Mousedung! He could tell his clan now! Why did I tell him that anyway?' she thought. Not waiting for the question in her head to be resolved or for the tom to answer she turned around and zipped back to her camp.

OOC: I'm SORRY I FORGOT ABOUT THIS THREAD D: Also do you want to skip to when they meet?
