Don't annoy me(Leaf)

Tags: @leafwhisker

Flamepaw was annoyed the only thing he wanted was to become a warrior but it seemed like that wasn't going to happen any time soon. 'I can't believe that I still haven't become a warrior,' he thought scornfully. He knew that possible reasons that he hadn't become a warrior yet was because he couldn't stay out of trouble. Whenever he looked after the elders he was disrespectful and would talk back to them. 'It's like they actually expect apprentices to be happy that they are looking after the elders. What cat actually wants to clean out their sticky nest and check them for ticks,' he thought lashing his tail his eyes blazing. 'I know that I can't stay in camp any longer,' he thought slipping out of the apprentice den and headed towards the camp entrance slipping outside.

Once outside her paused wondering where he would go. 'I haven't gone to the Abandoned Twoleg Nest in awhile, so I'll go there,' he thought. He usually didn't go to the Abandoned Twoleg Nest but he figured he would have a better chance of being alone if he went there. He really wasn't in the mood to deal with an annoying clan mate telling him what to do or how he should live his life. 'They tried to tell my mother that, and now look at her she is finally getting her dream of training to be a warrior,' he thought. He still couldn't believe that his mother had been given a chance to prove her worth when she had been apprentice aged. Instead she had been sent straight to the elders den because of her deafness but that hadn't stopped her from getting together with his father. After she had, had him and his siblings and after his father had disappeared his mother had asked Ratstar to led her train to be a warrior. Only then had Ratstar finally agreed so when he had become an apprentice so had his mother. The tom narrowed his eyes and shook his head in irritation before starting on his way to the Abandoned Twoleg Nest.

The young tom plodded through the territory his senses tuned into whatever was going on around him. He always paid attention to his surroundings since he didn't like being caught of guard. It was pretty rare for him to be caught off guard since he was always so in tune to his surroundings. The tom walked slowly across Sunsetclan territory until he reached the Abandoned Twoleg Nest. 'Finally I'm here,' Flamepaw thought lashing his tail. 'It's no wonder that I rarely come here, I always seem to forget how far out of the way it is,' he thought flicking his ears back and forth. He took a moment to gaze up at the sky before heading into the Abandoned Twoleg Nest.

Once inside he walked over to a secluded spot and sat down. 'I should probably do some hunting, but not right not,' the tom though listening to the sound of mice scurrying around him. He closed his eyes for a moment thinking of his father and felt a familiar pang of loss and longing. 'Thrushfall why did you leave?' he thought and bowed his head for a moment his thoughts still on his father. He still couldn't believe that his father had just up and left like he had. He had loved his father and he knew his father had loved him, Hollysong and his other siblings so he didn't get why his father had just up and disappeared. "Was it all fake, did he even really love us," he wailed quietly. He would never let his clan mates see his pain since he usually acted a little cold with his clan mates. He didn't want the pity or sympathy of his clan mates so he kept his pain hidden from his clan mates.

Leafwhisker was just returning from a border patrol when she saw an irritated Flamepaw leaving -- really, sneaking -- out of the apprentice's den and out of camp, through the territory. She looked to her patrol, which had already dispersed, one of them speaking with the deputy. She lashed her tail back in forth, frozen in thought. Then, she decided; she was to follow Flamepaw to wherever the apprentice was headed. It's not like she had anything else more important to do than pursue a sneaky apprentice, anyways.

She looked around to make sure nobody's eyes were on her, and padded off after the tom. Even though he had already gone far by now, his scent left a trail, easy to track through the territory. The brown she-cat made sure to tread lightly; she knew how high-strung the apprentice was, and how responsive he was to his surroundings.

Only when the grass began fading away did she realize where he was headed. The abandoned Twoleg nest rose above her. Leafwhisker stopped to admire it, and then taste the air again. Oddly enough, the trail led her inside the nest, where the hard, smooth ground underpaw replaced stone and grass, revealing her pawsteps throughout the house. She followed the trail until it stopped, but Flamepaw was nowhere to be found. As her green eyes scanned the room with ears pricked, she heard a quiet wail. 

Flamepaw! was the first thing that came to mind. Though it was a short cry, she knew a better area of where to look now. She padded around the area, not caring for how loud her footsteps were now. She knew Flamepaw was in here. He wouldn't be able to run without having Leafwhisker see him first, and probably chase him down before he could get too far.

Flamepaw eyes flew open when he heard the sound of approaching paw steps but there wasn't really anywhere he could go unless he planned on trying to smash his way through a way. The emotion he had been showing a few minutes ago was gone to be replaced but his usual annoyed look. He didn't want anyone to see him sad and if anyone said anything about him wailing he would deny everything. He wasn't good at expressing himself so he usually got defensive when a clan mate caught him being sad over something. He would rather his clan mates think he had a heart of stone then to see him being sad over his fathers departure even though it had been moons ago.

He dropped into a crouch and stalked towards the sound stepping lightly. When he so the cat he jumped out only to land in front of her. "What do you want? You probably have better things to do then to deal with a cat who is to worthless to even become a warrior," he meowed. This way what he usually did he wasn't usually as mean to everyone else as he was to himself. He often said terrible things like that about himself putting himself down. Since his father had left he had this thought that no one actually cared about him so he could act any way he wanted to.

He still got in a lot of trouble but because of the way he acted he didn't really have any friends. You wouldn't think he had low self-esteem by the way he acted it wasn't usually what he said that gave away the fact that he had low self-esteem. The tip of his tail twitched back and forth as he waited of Leafwhisker to say something.

Leafwhisker was bent down to the ground, sniffing it again when Flamepaw jumped out at her, making her flinch and involuntarily unsheathe her claws, ready to swipe if she needed to, fur bristling. Her fur began to flatten as the recognized the apprentice, eyes weary with sorrow. She couldn't help but stare; he was always was the one with a heart of stone, never to show his emotions. but here and now, it was clearly visible in his eyes. The she-cat recalled the death of a warrior several moons back -- did they have some sort of relation?

but now really wasn't the time to question him; it would only aggravate him. Leafwhisker's vision of him began to alter; Flamepaw was no longer a cat made out of boulders and stones. Instead, he was made of a tiny twig frame. She shook her head, warding off the trance, and only heard a few of the words that Flamepaw had hissed.

" . . . worthless to even become a warrior." The apprentice finished. Leafwhisker blinked, and began to harden her face. Again, this wasn't the time to act nicely toward him. She would treat him like any other apprentice that would try to sneak out. She wouldn't let his low self-esteem make her softer. She had to treat him equally...

"You sneaked out, and I intend to bring you back," she said, completely disregarding whatever Flamepaw had said. She wasn't even listening, anyways. The tip of her tail twitched. "I'm not letting a perfectly good apprentice go to waste as loner. . ." Her voice faltered, trailing off. She felt like she struck a nerve, and promptly shut her mouth.

"I just wanted some alone time, I'm tired of camp," Flamepaw meowed crossly. He usually did reckless things sometimes and he had run out of camp without thinking. When she said loner his eyes narrowed and a low growl rumbled in the back of his throat. "Who said anything about me becoming a loner! I'm not my father, that traitor left and I never want to see that coward again," he hissed bristling. She had hit a nerve all right and right now he was glaring at her like she was an enemy warrior.

"I still have my mother to think about, I would never leave her," he meowed speaking calmly. He always acted mad but the only way you could tell he was really mad was when he spoke calmly like he was doing. He was icily calm but his eyes still blazed with anger. 'Not like anyone would miss me if I did leave any way,' he thought the tip of his tail twitching back and forth. He didn't like her saying stuff about him becoming a loner especially since his father had just disappeared one day. In truth he missed his father but she had mad him mad enough to speak poorly of his father who had just disappeared one night.

In truth he was kind of mad at the clan for giving up on his father and replacing him. "I just couldn't stay in camp, alright. I was annoyed at the other apprentices talking about nothing that mattered and some other things," he meowed his thoughts going to his mother. 'Even she is trying to betray me. Has she forgotten my father,' he thought remembering how his mom had been spending time with different toms. He knew he was probably being a bit selfish but he didn't want his mom to move on and become mates with another tom. 'If she did he would probably just leave her like my father did,' he thought. His fathers departure had left him not trusting toms who would become mates with cats that had disabilities.

"You do understand you don't just... just leave, right? If you were so keen on leaving, why didn't you join a border patrol or something like that? You'd be plenty far away from camp." Flamepaw's next words didn't even make her flinch, nor his glare. "It's just the way you were so giddy to leave the camp. Like you didn't even want to be at camp. Loners don't have a camp." She flicked her tail. "I never mentioned your parents anyways."

Though how he kept so calm in demeanor did make her rather uneasy, but she hardened her face to not let it show; only a telling sign being her tail twitching. "Haven't seen her with you lately. She's been with other toms. 'specially on patrols. Flirting. Just thought you might want to know."

Her ears twitched idly. "If they were talking about nothing that mattered, why did it bother you so much?" She retorted.

"Yeah, I guess so but I notice cats younger than me out here alone a lot of the times," Flamepaw pointed out the tip of his tail the only sign to show he was a bit irritated. He didn't like being stuck in camp and he didn't really want a group of warriors complaining about his foul attitude and saying he should be like his mother. "Maybe I didn't want another border patrol or a hunting patrol. I wouldn't want to heart them complain about my attitude or tell me that I was suppose to act like my mother," he meowed. The warriors next words made his eyes narrow slightly and he let out a snort and shook his head. "Well, maybe I'm just ready to become a warrior. I bet Ratstar doubts that I would make a good warrior," he meowed his mew still calm.

He had noticed her uneasiness but didn't say anything since he saw her eyes harden. Her next words had him letting out a low growl and he lost his calmness to glower at her. "Its none of your concern what my mother does. I will always back up my mom," he meowed though he wasn't able to keep the jealously out of his tone. He was jealous that his mother seemed to be doing well and that she seemed ready to take on another mate.

When he heard her next question he sniffed and suddenly his eyes and expression was unreadable. "Why do you want to know so much about me?" he asked flatly. "I'm not even worth it," he meowed the tip of his tail twitching again he kept his eyes fixed on her thought.
