Because the snow is scorched [Masque]

[Skiv]

.masquerade.
Snowpaw had stormed out of camp earlier that morning. She personally didn't want to deal with her mentor today so she decided to just leave before her mentor notice that she was gone. It wasn't that she didn't mind her mentor Dawnshine. It was just that their personailties were so different that Snowpaw couldn't handle the sweet warrior today. To much of the sweet, vulnerable, she-cat was enough to make Snowpaw puke at this point she really needed to get away from that warrior otherwise she will claw her eyes out then she will claw Dawnshine's eyes out to make it better for her. Snowpaw forced her paws to take her far away from camp as she could. She was quite small so the apprentice was moving at a quick pace. She honestly had no idea where to go, she had only had been made an apprentice about a moon ago and she was already doing her own thing. Snowpaw racked her brain on her first day of training, then it came to her Pond of Truce. Dawnshine will never guess Then Snowpaw moved her head and her body followed along as she picked up the pace and headed towards the pond of truce. 

Once close to the place she wanted to be Snowpaw moved her legs faster, she was sprinting right towards the gathering place. The apprentice actually laughed for the first time that wasn't forced. She was moving quite fast she could feel the breeze cool her body down. Then once getting a few tail lengths to her destination the brown and white she-cat had to stop running. He chest rose and fell heavily as she dragged her tail the rest of the way. In between her heavy breathing she manages to wheeze out the words "Wow, I really need to get in shape."

He was in a foul mood. Annoyed and ready to kill. He didn't even know why. Sometimes he was just upset. And he didn't even have any friends to talk to.

Not that he wanted friends. No, the cats in his Clan were weak.

He snarled and dug his claws into the soft earth near the Pond. This was where he came when he needed to escape, If only for a little bit.

He tried to close himself off from thoughts. So he stared at his reflection. He'd been called 'ugly' before. Because of the hairless face. He'd been called 'rat.' Because of the coarse hair.

He sighed. He was always focused on the negative, it seemed.

Snowpaw stopped there was a faint smell in the air that wasn't right. She took in a deep breath and she smelt something different. It was a cat, she knew that. but this cat smelled different. Which did not surprise Snowpaw much considering where she was but she still wasn't expecting someone else to be here. She turned toward the direction of the cat smell and thats when she sat the other cat. This cat had their back to her and she could tell by the size that it was a young cat, probably another apprentice. She narrowed her green eyes and started heading towards the cat, once getting closer she could tell the scent. This apprentice was from Midnightclan. She had never meet another cat from a different clan so she was kind of curious. Well lets get this over with She padded up closer and she said, "What are you doing here?"

What are you doing here?

He blinked. Slowly.

What am I doing here?

He repeated the question back to himself. Then he blinked again, without turning to face the strange cat. His shoulders twitched forward slightly, almost to the point of hunching. Then he sighed.

"I'm not so sure," he told her, "other than getting away from my Clan, that is."

Then he turned to regard her with a curious look in his bright orangeish eyes.

[Skiv]

Snowpaw flicked her tail back and forth. There was no way she was just going to stand here and not be answered. She really honestly didn't care why this cat was here but she thought she might as well know. She watched this tom and she could tell there was something seriously wrong in his mind. She didn't know if he was just stressed or what, or if it was just because he was just born that way. She didn't know and she secretly hoped it was her first assumption, cause if it was the second she might almost killing the cat with the cold heart she had. but yet again, who cares right. She didn't even know this tom's name and she was already determining what his fate was and who he was. Then she finally got her answer. but she with that answer she narrowed her eyes, well at least they were here for the same thing. She just needed to get away because she couldn't deal with her mentor. He just needed to get away. She didn't know why and she personally didn't care. She just nodded and said in a crisp voice "Well that makes two of us."

He paused again. Then he let out a quiet, amused 'hm.'

"So, the other Clans aren't as tight-knit as they pretend to be?" He glanced her way and quirked an eyebrow. One of his hairless ears twitched. If there were cats who couldn't stand their Clan as much as he, then all the pretentious "family" nonsense was all a farce.

His amused smile had a sort of 'so I was right' look about it. He then gave the she-cat a once-over, gleaning as much as he could from looks alone with intent orange-yellow eyes.

[Skiv]

"How would I know mousebrained! I have never taken a step outside of my clan's territory." Snowpaw quickly snapped right back at the tom. Well maybe that was a bit harsh huh? Well not for this small apprentice. She just left her face blank as she looked at this apprentice in front of her. He was different, his face and ears had no fur on them it made him look a bit crazy but honestly Snowpaw could care less on what a cat looked like. She noticed that he was looking at her almost like he was sizing her up. Then he had that smirk on his face and Snowpaw itched to comment on it and she couldn't hold back as she snapped, "What? Do like what you see? Because if you do your in for quite a surprise buddy, my claws are just as sharp as my tongue."

He found that he quite enjoyed her reaction, though it didn't show on his face. At her question, however, there was an entirely different reaction from the little tom.

His ears twitched back and he stared at his unusual reflection, seeming completely embarrassed.

"That's not it at all!" he said, voice rising in pitch slightly. Then he coughed and looked back at her, irritated. "You can't just assume things like that," he grumbled.

but how was he supposed to explain his own thoughts? Tell her that he was trying to figure out everything about her?

He didn't know how.

He hunched his shoulders with a guttural sigh and stared at his mostly-hairless forepaws.

OOC; He won't be like this for long xD I'll enjoy it while I can

[Skiv]

Snowpaw watched as the tom in front of her seemed embarrassed about something. She just rolled her eyes and sat down. It was graceful it was more like a plop. Just to have him remember that she was her she cleared her throat demanding an answer. That's when she heard the squeak. She just closed her eyes and then opened them again. Then she heard a cough before the bright orange gaze of this other apprentice was staring right back at her. She heard the grumble and snapped, "Don't tell me what I can or can not do." Then she growled lowly. Just because she could. She looked away and then looked back at the tom when she heard the sigh and she just saw him staring at his forepaws. They to seemed to be almost hairless. She thought it was weird but what ever, all cats were different. "Quit with that sighing, I don't need to hear how crapy your life is or whatever other are thinking about when they sigh." She stated with a bit of snappiness to her voice, then she said in her normal voice, "I'm Snowpaw by the way, incase you needed it in the future."

    He looked at heare, irritation showing in his eyes. He lashed his tail. "Just lay off it, huh?" he growled. He really wasn't in the mood for this. His anger was displayed through the bristling of his short, coarse pelt and twitching of the ears, tail, and whiskers.
    He sighed again, more of a huff this time. Then he looked away, seeming to cool down. She gave her name. His immediate reaction was a quiet, "Scorchpaw."
    He wasn't sure why he was giving his name to a random she-cat, but it seemed courteous, since she'd done so first. He blinked, slowly, mulling it over as though it was life's greatest mystery as to why he was talking to her at all.

[Skiv]

Snowpaw watched as this tom's pelt seemed to rise on his pelt. She didn't want to fight him but she took out her white claws just incase this turned into a actual fight. She narrowed her green eyes and said, "Oh, I will since you insisted that I do." Then she looked around the pond of truce and wondered what this place would look like with all the other clans here. She turned and thought for a moment, Would he know? She really didn't feel like asking the tom a question so she just continued on looking around. Thats when she heard another sigh from him. She just closed her eyes and kept her frustration inside. Then he heard his voice say something. It was his name. With that she looked back at him and looked at him a little more closely this time. She now understood why he had gotten the name he did. The white and brown apprentice it was easily to tell why she had gotten the name of Snow. She just opened her mouth an said, "Do you come here often?
