We're Here Again (Avery)

ooc: oops sorry this took me so long but here Avery

Here he was again. This time, in much better shape, but here again nonetheless. His tail waved back and forth happily as he trotted through the forest and ran his way down to the Pond, his paws feeling the cold, stony ground. Frogleap's mint eyes darted around, hoping that the one thing he missed so much would finally be here again. It was almost as if they had read each others mind twice in a row, meeting here time after another... but that seemed to be fading. Frogleap hadn't seen her in a while. Was she even a warrior yet? Was it still wrong of him to be pursuing this she-cat, even now while he was deputy of StormClan? but then there was the impossible, heart-eating question that wouldn't seem to leave him alone - could he stop seeing her even if he wanted to?

Wildpaw. That was her name. Frogleap nodded to himself as he paced around the Pond of Truce, kicking pebbles nearby into the small, reflective pond. He still refused to look at himself in that pond, but was now much more happy with himself. Frogleap no longer doubted himself or his ability to succeed. He now knew he could succeed at anything he wanted.. but this... This was much different. This threatened his position.. His Clan.. And even his life! Was it worth the risk? The bengal tom continued to pace. Actually, he couldn't seem to stop. Frogleap couldn't clear his head. Everywhere he went there were reflections of two things. Himself. And of course, Wildpaw. Maybe she would come back to StormClan with him.. Imagine that. Wildpaw of StormClan. Or was it something different now? Wildwing? Wildfur? Wildheart. That last one seemed to suit her perfectly.

There was so much going on. So much going on that he didn't understand. So many feelings and emotions, ones that he had never experienced before. Was this just part of growing up. Frogleap didn't have a clue. Only time would truly tell.

Ooc: Icky post @spiderpelt! My bad  
Muse: Meh... alright
Song: I want Crazy- Hunter Hayes (don't laugh )

Leaving camp had been easy. Slipping past the guard was easy. Moving through her territory like a shadow was easy. Nearly getting spotted by a roaming rogue and hiding had been easy. As her paw's lead her towards the Pond of Truce Wildpaw's heartbeat quickened. What was she even doing here? Why was she leaving her Clan in the middle of the night, travel her entire territory, skirt the borders of other's, just so that she could possibly meet a cat? Shaking her head she moved her pace into a trot. He wasn't really just a cat. This was Frogleap of Stormclan... her one true friend. Lately Wildpaw had felt like a stranger in her Clan, and every day she spent there reminded her about the fight Fallowmist. She had caused this pain, and right now, it didn't seem like she could fix it.

Taking a deep breath she reached the top of the sloping hill that would eventually lead down to the pebbled shore of Pond. Her green eyes searched the edge, and brightened at the sight of a familiar shape. Racing down she moved towards him and skidded to a stop once she had reached him. She searched him for a few moments before a grin spread across her face. He had come. "Jeez Frogleap, did you read my mind again?" She asked breathlessly, more so from the excitement that he was there then her run. "How's it going? How's being deputy?" She meowed, her tail flicking back and forth.

ooc: so sorry!! I've been battling sicknesses lol. Avery

How was it possible that every time Frogleap was here, Wildpaw was too? How did this always happen? Was it just mere coincidence or destiny? Frogleap wasn't much of one to believe in destiny.. but this, this was so different. So odd. He couldn't quite put a paw on it. A small, confident smile played at his lips as she came into view. "Sorry, I can't help it" he meowed with a laugh. Honestly, he wasn't prepared for a follow up question. Things were going great. Better than they ever have. Frogleap was back to himself. Happy, confident. Everything. And seeing her here just made everything so much better. The tom nodded slowly, his mint eyes following Wildpaw. "I'm good. Working hard. but I'm more curious about you" he purred, quickly pushing himself out of the subject.

Frogleap drew closer to her, eager to hear what else she had to say. More than anything he wanted to ask about her apprenticeship, but was unsure. It seemed like a touchy subject. Frogleap was never the type to make a cat talk about something they didn't want to talk about. It wasn't right. He just wasn't sure. He had to ask in a more polite way... Something that wasn't so.. Forward. "How's your apprenticeship going?" he meowed carefully, his smile being replaced with pure interest.
