So, we meet again. [Skiv]

Welcome to my nightmare, I think you're gonna like it. 
This had never happened before. Not once in her life, had something like this sprung up. Never had she thought it would. but either way, it was boring and she hated it. Whatever she tried, no matter how bad she wanted to, she just couldn't fall asleep. Normally, this was no big deal. but this time, she had to fall asleep. She just was dying to visit that strange, dark forest once more. She wanted to feel her enemies fur between her claws. To feel their blood pool up at her dark paws. And, for some odd reason, she wanted to feel the sharp pain of claws ripping at her. Maybe it was because that was the only thing that felt real. Nothing felt more real than pain in her opinion. but that's not all. She wanted to feel fresh air.

Noticing how cramped in was in the apprentice's den, the midnight pelted she-cat decided it might help if she took a walk in the clearing, stretched her legs a little before laying back down and attempting to sleep once again. Minnowpaw gave a quick sigh, pushed herself to her black paws, and ducked under the entrance of the small den. Luckily, no one appeared to be in the clearing. Good. That way no one would ask where she was going...If she was going anywhere. Minnowpaw eyed the camps entrance, just itching to sprint though it and do something worth a while. but that wasn't the right thing to do...Aw hell! When was the last time Minnowpaw did anything loyal? Maybe as a kit, but not really...'

Do it.' "Shut up." 

Just do it, Minnowpaw."And I said shut up."

but we all know what the apprentice did next. She rushed though that door and ran as fast as she could away from that stupid camp and those stupid cats. She wanted to hold a intelligent conversation with a intelligent cat. She gave a sigh, slowing to a walk. After a while, she decided to head back to camp or at least go near it. Looking up, her honey colored orbs widened. Minnowpaw was currently standing at the Pond of Truce. 'I walked all the way here? Weird...'  She thought, looking around.

I think you are gonna feel like you belong.

[Skiv]

Whitepaw blinked open his eyes. He was expecting to be in the dark forest but when he looked around he instantly realized that he wasn't there. The apprentice den! He growled in his mind. He wanted to train more, he needed to become a warrior. He wanted to put his claws into something. Life was boring when he was awake, but at night well Whitepaw finally felt like he was himself. He thought back to the other night when he battled with Dustheart, it made him want to train harder so he could beat that flea bag in his next confrontation with him. Laying his head back down Whitepaw tried to let the calling of the dark forest take him back into their world. but he couldn't feel it calling for him today. It was odd usually Nightfire was very constant about training. He just tried again squeezing his amber orbs shut he tried to travel to the forest. but once again the large apprentice had no luck on getting there. He just then stood up and stretched out his legs before glancing around the den. He needed out of here, his eyes landed on Shadowpaw who he assumed was in the place that he wanted to be. He just narrowed his eyes slightly, Maybe Nightfire doesn't want to train tonight So he just padded out of the den stepping over the other sleeping cats with ease.

Blinking slightly with exiting the dark den he glanced up at the sky. The moon was bright and the stars glittered the sky. He just watched them for a moment before looked around camp. It was pretty quiet, almost too quiet for his liking. He needed to escape, he needed to train. So the apprentice headed out of camp and slinked into the shadows of Sunsetclan territory. He just padded along letting his paws lead the way, after a while he was out of Sunsetclan and heading to the Pond of Truce. He stopped mid step, Why am I going there? He glanced around but for some reason that place seemed to be calling out to him. He had no idea why, but its not like his mentor was going to care where he went. His mentor was an mouse-brained, fleabag. Whitepaw just wanted to tear his throat out like everyday. but he restrained himself because if he wanted to be deputy and leader some day he had to follow the rules. Like you are right now but the brown apprentice could careless his clan didn't know what he was doing right now. He just padded forward continuing to the destination that his paws wanted him to go.

Upon arriving he stopped as soon as he realized who was there. He would remember that black pelt from anywhere, Minnowpaw. Is this the reason why his paws wanted him to come here? No that was odd, it couldn't have been the reason at all. but yet maybe it was, he wondered if she was able to get to the dark forest as well. but clearly not because she was here. He just watched her for a moment still in the shadows. He still didn't know how he felt about this cat. It was odd for the tom because he really didn't like other cat very much, or more like they didn't like him. He was cold, and well harsh. Most cats really don't like to talk to someone like that. He just waited and then finally he padded our of the shadows his amber eyes shined in the darkness. He just came up in front of her, he was still larger than the she-cat but she had changed a bit since he last saw her. He just said "So, we meet again."

Frost, Woah long post did not expect that from him.

[Frost]

ooc:// Forgot that she just came a warrior.
You either die young as a hero

A strange feeling swept over the dark furred cat. One that she was all to familiar with. She slipped out her claws, though she acted just like she would if she hadn't had the feeling that she was being watched. Minnownight glanced around, her golden orbs darted around, screeching high and low for something. No, someone. She saw him just seconds before she heard him. Casting a smirk at the tom, she retracted her long, deadly claws and sat down in front of the larger tom-cat. Nodding, Minnownight looked over him. He had changed a bit since the last time she had saw him. A little taller, a few scratches here and there.

Or live long enough

"I guess so." She meowed. Minnownight glanced up at the stars and the moon before turning back to face the brown and white Leafclanner.

"The stars look very nice today, wouldn't you agree, Whitepaw? Or are you a warrior now? Ha. It wouldn't shock me if you where. You'll make a good dark forest warrior. Plus, no way would I become a warrior before you." She chuckled. 'Are you flirting?' 'Ew, no.' 'Oh ok.'  

To see yourself become the villain.

[Skiv]

Whitepaw noticed that the she-cat had her claw out but then put them away. So they weren't playing that game anymore. Which was fine with Whitepaw but he really didn't know then what to expect with Minnowpaw. He just watched as she sat in front of him. Her gaze glancing over him. It made him feel weird that she was looking over him like, well he didn't know. but he just kept his mouth shut waiting for her to speak. He also decided to sit down there was no trying to intimidate her anymore he knew that it wouldn't work. Plus the last time that he did that another cat came out as well. He didn't want to speak with that other cat again, he wanted to only speak to her. Whoah there Whitepaw whats going on. It shouldn't matter who she is. but it does matter. No. No. Yes. Well mouse dung.

He just tucked his paws under his body and he watched her as she looked up at the stars. She clearly had become more powerful since the last time he saw her. He just wanted to see what she had to say to him. He just kept his amber gaze on her the whole time, he couldn't break his eyes away from her. STOP!! His mind screamed and then just growled low at himself. Then she asked if he thought the stars looked nice tonight, he just then glanced up at the sky. He then heard something about being made a warrior before her and he flicked his hard amber gaze back at her. She was a warrior already? He just clenched his jaw his warrior ceremony had to be soon he was 14 moons old. He needed to be a warrior. He said with a cold voice, "No I'm not." Then he thought to her next words, just a 'good dark forest warrior.' The brown cat would be a excellent dark forest warrior. He just chuckled at her "Just a good dark forest warrior? Come on Minnow..." He didn't know her warrior name so that was a bit awkward for the large tom but he just looked down at her with one eyebrow raised as if to say, 'What is you new name?'

OOC: Ahhh I really like these two, Frost

[Frost]

Minnownight's jaw dropped at the tom's remark, but she quickly snapped in closed. Giving him a warm smile, she began to speak once again. She knew she couldn't really give him the sympathy act, so sh just got to her paws and padded closer to the Leafclanner. Giving off a soft chuckle, she simply shrugged. "Oh. Well your better than me by far, so your leader must be a mousebrained idiot. Kinda like mine. And no, not just good. Probably one of the best. Heck, I'm sure they only Dark foresters who could bet you in a fight are probably Nightshade, maybe Nightfire, and Sliverstar. Ha. And you, know you can just call me Minnow. Yeah. Don't call me Minnownight till your a warrior too." She didn't even think of what she was saying before it poured out of her mouth. 'What the hell, Minnownight?! What are you doing you idiot?' It it wasn't for the dead tom-cats sharp comment, Minnownight would probably not even know what she had just said. Her honey colored gaze grew and she took a few steps back.

'Oh my god...No. Not now. Not with...that.' 
'What? What is it?' 
'....'
'Nightshade?'

but there was no reply. He was gone. What did he mean? Focusing her attention back on Whitepaw, she started into his amber eyes with wide golden ones. "S-Sorry! That was stupid. I-I shouldn't of said anything..." She meowed, her voice strangely small and lacking her normal power-filled, confident one. What was happening? Minnownight was sure it had something to due with Whitepaw...but why? What did he do? More importantly, what did she do?

[Skiv]

Whitepaw watched as the she-cat's jaw dropped at his words. He just chuckled inside of his brain, this was a new Minnow, well he didn't know her warrior name yet so he just watched her. His amber eyes just watched as she approached closer to him, the hair on his spine wanted to raise but he forced it to stay flat against his back. It wasn't because she scared him, oh no. He wasn't frighted of anything but it was the fact that she wanted to get closer to him. He just watched as she started speaking again. It was odd to hear praise from this she-cat. "Have you even seen me fight Minnownight or are you just saying that so you don't have to worry about me attacking? Hm?" His amber eyes teased her. He had never seen her in the dark forest before so how would she know if he was a good fighter, but he was glad that she believed in him. It wasn't Ratstar what was the idiot it was his mentor Briarfoot. Briarfoot never even told Whitepaw once that he was a great fighter, the apprentice just flattened his ears slightly and narrowed his eyes. but then he glanced down at Minnownight, the name suited her, and a smile came to his face. Not one of his forced smiles but an actual smile, one that hadn't appeared on the tom since he was a kit.

but then she took a few steps away from him. What, now you can't be near me? That hurts a bit. Wait what? It shouldn't hurt, I don't care that she's backing away from me. WHATS WRONG WITH YOU? Thoughts were just popping up everywhere in his head and he looked at the warrior. He just watched her from narrowed eyes waiting for something that reminded him of the Minnownight that he knew. but then she spoke, her voice was different, she seemed to collapse in. Whitepaw just made looked in her widened golden eyes she was truly frightened of something or startled for some reason. He didn't like it. Was it something that he did? Maybe she just wanted him to leave? He didn't know. He just brought his face closer to hers. He was still searching in her golden hues for the cat that he was used to seeing. His voice came out quieter than usual, "Minnownight, whats going on?"

 

[Frost]

Minnownight froze as Whitepaw brought his face closer to hers. For a second, she felt her heart beat a little faster and a sudden pull at her heart. "What the heck...WHY DO I FEEL LIKE THIS? It's so confusing and it annoys me that I can't figure it out. Come on Nightshade! Please! J-just get me out of this situation! We are family, so you should help me!' 'Fine, just shut up. I'm going to take your tiny little body over. No fights, promise. Just hold still for a second.' Glancing up at the Sunsetclanner,  she quickly shook her head no. "I-I don't know what's going on...Nightshade said something that had to do you us, I think and because he can see, hear, and feel what I feel...I just don't know..." She whispered, cutting her wide eyes to the ground. "And when I was talking to you...It's just so hard to explain...S-sorry for worrying you if you aren't acting..." Minnownight breathed, giving a soft sigh. A familiar feeling soon spread though out her body. It felt like she was fall asleep, but she knew it was simply Nightshade coming to help her out. 'Hopefully you two don't fight...' Before Nightshade fully took control.

Nightshade- Er, Minnownight...Looked up rather quickly. Giving a soft frown at Whitepaw, he began to explain the whole situation. "Hello...It's me, Nightshade and um yeah. Minnownight was embarrassed and being, well, stupid, so she called on me to help out. Also, she can still feel pain when I take over. She is just like normal...but not. Any who, I think I know what's up. I'm pretty sure she has a massive crush on you, but whatever." He meowed, shrugging his shoulders like it was nothing. 

[Skiv]

Whitepaw watched the black she-cat with is amber gaze. He noticed that she seemed frightened of something. He was confused, the first time they met she was fearless. Now he just looked at her and felt almost a little bad. I'm really a scary cat huh? The apprentice thought to himself. So he leaned back giving the warrior some space, though he just wanted to be closer to her. It was hard to stay way from her sleek pelt. but she was startled and well he didn't want to push his luck so to say. So he just waited. Then she spoke he just listened carefully. Then the name came up. Nightshade, he just narrowed his eyes slightly. ACTING? ACTING! What the hell Minnownight! That's just great she doesn't like you mouse brained so quit trying! He just stood up and looked down at her. He couldn't handle this, maybe this was the real Minnownight that he wanted to met and not the one that was influenced by Nightshade. She seemed so weak with out him, maybe she needed help to know that she was just as powerful as the cat that helps her. but as he watched her look at her paws he just wanted to reach out with a paw and touch her to make her feel comfortable.

but then she snapped her head up. There was a different look in her eyes, he knew that it wasn't her. He just watched closely and his thoughts were confirmed when Nightshade introduced himself. He just listened to the cat he unsheathed his claws. He wasn't taking any chances with this dark forest cat, even though it was Minnownight's body he didn't care if it was Nightshade attacking him he wasn't going to back down from a fight. He just waited to see what Nightshade was going to do, he heard that Minnownight could feel anything that he inflicted for Nightshade. He just waited to see if Nightshade was going to do anything. but then he heard the last words, She has a massive crush on you. The words kept replaying in his mind. If she did then why was Nightshade here? He didn't want Nightshade, he wanted to talk to the she-cat that he liked. Not this old fleabag. He just flattened his ears and growled. "Nightshade, Its a pleasure to meet you. Now, How can I help you? And if not leave I don't have time to talk to dead cats from the dark forest or I would be there right now instead of here." 

[Frost]

Nightshade let out a sicking chuckle. "Awww. Here that Minnownight? He doesn't like you. Just like everyone else! Now you can get back to work tomorrow night. Bye bye, reject!" Before he left, he quickly turned to face the Sunsetclanner. Winking at the tom-cat he grinned. "And if you even tried to use those," He flicked Minnownight's tail at the apprentices claws. "They would simply kill her. Not me. but, of course, you wouldn't care now would you?" Letting out another creepy laugh, he quickly escaped the she-cats small body and traveled back to the dark forest within seconds. Letting out a surprised yelp as she tried to quickly get used to the feeling of having her body back, Minnownight stumbled backwards and landed on her butt. Averting her eyes from Whitepaw, she realized her golden hues pooled up with water. 'What? Why am I crying? Of course he wouldn't care. After all, he is in a different clan...' The she-cat gave a sigh. "Sorry. I shouldn't of really care what you thought about me...Ha. You really are a better Dark Forester. You don't seem to get attracted to other cats." The sleek furred warrior laughed, though it sounded dry and empty. After all, it was forced.

[Skiv]

Whitepaw heard the chuckle and he just growled slightly at the dark forester. Then he realized what he was saying, Whitepaw just watched the cat closely. He just saw the cat turn away before commenting on his claws. NO NO NO! Fleabag! His mind screamed at Nightshade. The apprentice just glanced down at his claws his white ones seemed to glow in the moonlight he just sheathed them. Whitepaw forgot that Nightshade and Minnownight were all connected. He just wanted the dark forest warrior gone, it wasn't because he didn't want to be here. His paws seemed to lead him to Minnownight on this night. He was more going for just Nightshade, but now looking back on it Whitepaw realized it made him sound like he didn't want to be hear with her. How do I fix this? He just asked himself. but he needed to wait for the Darkforest warrior go back to where he belonged before actually getting the reaction of the cat he needed to make this right. He had no idea how Minnownight was going to react and frankly he wasn't prepared for this. He glanced at the silverpelt before looked back down to see the black she-cat sitting before him.

Whitepaw noticed that she adverted her eyes from him. He caught a glimpse though and he could see the water in her eyes. Foxdung! How I get her to feel better? I don't know what to do. He just watched her his amber eyes confused, he didn't know what to do about a crying she-cat. All he wanted to do for some reason was to just stand there. but the apprentice knew that wasn't the right thing to do. The only other thing he wanted to do is pull her in close and just let her cry it out plus he just felt like resting his head on something. The large apprentice was tired and now was the first time he realized it. He had been training non spot for the past four moons not taking a break his body was finally shutting down saying Whitepaw just relax And it was Minnownight that really brought that out in him. He couldn't let her escape him. He just listened to her looked at her face when she talked to him. He just stood up and padded over to her. Sitting down next to her he looked down at the black she-cat and lowered his head slightly. "Minnownight, I... Well..." He just cleared his throat, "What Nightshade was a lie. What I said about if I wasn't here I would be in the dark forest. but the thing is that I never wanted to talk to Nightshade. I said that if I wanted to talk to dead cats." Then he shook his head and took a deep breath and finished, "but your alive Minnownight."

[Frost]

Minnownight simply nodded her head slightly. "Yeah...Not like I was ever dead or anything...Nightshade doesn't have to kill me or anything to take over or anything...It's quite calming, actually." The black warrior meowed softly, not daring to meet his eyes for the time being. Blinking her tears away, she quickly reminded herself that crying was weak and she was not to be weak. Taking a deep breath, she slowly breathed out, wiping all emotion from her face. Snapping her head up to look the Sunsetclanner in the eyes, she sat up straight and gave him a strong, fearless look. "Nightshade isn't always a liar, by the way. He wasn't lying, though I assume you couldn't care less, hm? Well, I don't care if you like be that way your not, or if you even like me at all. Just tell me, why did you stop yourself from killing me that first time? Or from fighting Nightshade just now? Really, you seem to refrain form killing me. Way is that?" Minnownight questioned, narrowing her eyes at Whitepaw. Certainly he would of killed her at one point at some time or another. but how? And when? 'What are you planning?' 

[Skiv]

Whitepaw just flattened his ears slightly, every single word that was coming out of his mouth she was taking the wrong way. How do I get her to understand that I care about her! He screamed in his mind. He just couldn't take it, his muscles needed to move, even though all he wanted to do was rest his head on her sleek black pelt. He just needed to move, he needed to think logical. So he stood up and started moving in front of her. He paced back and forth. His muscles rippled under his short brown pelt and his ears were flattened against his head. He watched his paws move back and forth trying to make sense of everything that was happening. He just then glanced at her and his amber eyes met her golden ones and he just narrowed his eyes slightly and then continued to pad back and forth. Still pacing his mind was racing and then she spoke. He just stopped and looked at her. With a confused looked on his face he listened as she explain why he hadn't killed her yet. He clenched his jaw his muscles quivered slightly with anger.

WHY WOULD I KILL THE ONLY CAT THAT I FEEL NORMAL AROUND!

Whitepaw mind yelled at Minnownight he knew that should could hear that but he tried anyways. He just snorted and then continued to pace back and forth coming up with the best solution to her question. The thing is that Whitepaw hadn't killed anyone yet. He couldn't unless given a reason, because if he wanted to be leader he couldn't kill any cat from the clan. Though all he wanted to do everyday is tear his claws through Briarfoot's neck and let him bleed. He wasn't just going to kill a cat just because it was fun. They needed to give him a reason. He needed a way to back up why he was doing that. Growling in frustration, he just turned and faced her anger burning in his eyes. "I just don't kill for fun. I need a reason to kill Minnownight." Then he padded around her his tail brushing up against her fur and then he was behind her he hissed in her ear, "As for not attacking Nightshade, I was only preparing myself for a battle that might or might not happen." Then he continued around his tail still touching her until he was right in front of her and he got right in her face and looked right into her golden orb with his strong amber ones, "As for you! Minnownight, you answer this question for me." He growled loudly, "Why would I kill the only cat that I feel normal around? The cat that I don't have to put on a show who knows already what I can do? Why would I get rid of the only cat that I care about?"


Frost

[Frost]

Occ;// Sorry for the late reply!

Minnownight felt her throat dry up. 'normal? Doesn't he feel normal around his clan or anything? The black and white cat thought, her golden hues round with wounder. Listening to the tom cat's sharp tone of voice, she took a tiny step back and looked into his amber eyes. Giving herself a moment to find her voice, she quickly reviewed all the things that he had exclaimed to her. Surely he didn't mean all of that...No. He probably didn't. Surely he was just acting out of pity or something. but maybe...Maybe he wasn't. Minnownight couldn't tell. It had been so long since she had believed anything anyone had said.

Clearing her throat, she decided that she was required to speak up. Giving a soft, shaky breath and sat up straight. Blocking out as much emotion from her eyes as possible, she attempted to give of the most powerful and strongest look she could muster. "Well...I assume that you wouldn't do that." The sleek furred warrior began, holding eye contact with the Sunsetclanner. "Though, do you honestly...care about me? Are you sure that's the word you are looking for?" She questioned, unsure if he was just saying that out of sudden sympathy. No one she had met was quite like him. She just couldn't wrap her mind around him and how he acted.

[Skiv]

Whitepaw watched as she took a step back away from him. He was looking right into her golden orbs and she was looking straight into his harsh amber. He just waited for her to speak. There was so many thoughts going on in his head and his muscles trembled slightly. He needed take out his frustration on something. He didn't want to hurt Minnownight though, there was no why he would lay a claw on her unless he had to. He just waited his claws digging into the hard frozen ground. He was waiting, if she took any longer Whitepaw might just hurt her. Maybe I have been trained too well Then he just threw the thought to the side. He was going to be a great warrior, one that the others look up to. One that the other clans are afraid of. He just heard a shaky breath from Minnownight and he just focused back on her and away from this thoughts.

"No I wouldn't." He just simply stated after her first comment. He didn't want to kill her, like he said he felt normal around her. In his clan he as himself, but with her he was able to relax for once. but in his clan that wasn't happening, he needed to be focused and be the good warrior that he was born to be. He just flicked his tail back and forth and then when she said her next comment he just narrowed his eyes in frustration. Then he growled and turned away from her with a growl. He just padded away from her. He couldn't take it he couldn't deal with her anymore. Padding off he just took his claws and dug them even more in the ground and then he just sighed and let his head fall looking at his paws. His tail stopped moving dropping to the ground. He sheathed his claws and just stood there not knowing what to do about this she-cat clearly even though Nightshade that she cared for him clearly was questioning her own thoughts. He couldn't handle it so he just stood there looking at his paws not knowing what to say to Minnownight because he already had lost his chance of winning her back.


Frost

[Frost]

Ooc;// I'm am so so so very sorry for keeping you waiting! I've been going though a lot lately and it's been super busy...Sorry!

Minnownight focused on his words debating if they were true or if the tom-ct was lying right though his teeth. Her sharp honey eyes narrowed down to fine slits, giving of a bright yellow glow. The sleek-furred warrior watched closely as Whitepaw padded away, and upon seeing the Sunsetclanner's face and hearing his deep growl, a deadly smirk crossed her face. Oh course, she would be the one to play with fire. He was much larger then her, probably stronger, and older. If she pushed him o the limit, surely he would snap. And probably hurt her. but oh how Minnownight loved to play that game. With her long, dark tail lashing behind her, she creeped up on Whitepaw. Letting out a low purr-like noise, she slipped out from behind him, her face dangerously close. Cocking her head to the side, Minnownight gave out a light hiss, showing off her amazingly sharp teeth. "So, tell me, dear Whitekit. How do you feel about me?" She meowed teasingly. Her voice was like a venom of sorts, yet it gave of a sweet, sickening feeling.
