Anya, Thread between Ivyheart and Berryfrost

Ivyheart padded into camp, she wiggled her nose. It was itchy and she sneezed loudly before shaking her head. Her green eyes going wide with surprise, she stumbled back a bit then she laughed slightly before continuing into camp. It was not as lively as usual, which was normal for leafbare. but because Pebblestar was missing it just made it worse, Ivyheart was worried about the leader of Talonclan but there was nothing more that she could do. She knew that the leader wasn't on Talonclan territory at this point it had been days and well every cat as searched for the expecting leader. Thats what made it worse, she was expecting kits. Maybe she just did not like Talonclan but for some reason Ivyheart knew that wasn't true. She headed to the edge of camp and she found a dryer spot to sit down. Her green gaze glanced around camp then she looked at her pelt. It was stuck up everywhere. She thought to the last time she groomed it. Well she couldn't even remember. Well I'm not doing anything now I guess Ill groom it. Then the tabby set out to clean her pelt, it was going to take a while, but the warrior kept working at it. She pulled out a clump of moss that was stuck in her chest and she just spit it out and thought I wonder how long that was stuck there? Then she kept working at it slow but surly her pelt was becoming smooth.

Berryfrost had been scaling the cave walls, the white tom had left a stash of berries in one of the crevices but had forgotten which one. He had spent the past few days searching for their missing leader. Sunstep had made sure to send Berryfrost on as many search patrols as possible. That tom was out to get him. Berryfrost was convinced.

"Whoaaa!" the tom lost his footing as he tried to move a little to the left and began to fall. Twisting in the air he hoped he wouldn't break anything. "Look out belooooow!" He called.

Thump!

Berryfrost landed on soft ground. However he didn't think the cave floor could be soft or move, for he was tumbling around.

Ivyheart kept grooming, she had just finished her front legs and now she was moving on to her back and tail. The movement was repeated over and over again. She closed her green orbs as she kept on working. She didn't even hear the rustling above her of the white cat that was climbing the cave walls. She just continued to groom her back not worrying about anything she just wanted to get this done so she could be lazy and sleep. Then she heard something. She just looked up and all she saw was a white form falling. She didn't even have time to move out of the way. Then next thing she knew is that her face was stuck to the cold cave floor. She just moved pushing the white cat off of her she peeled her face off of the cold stone floor and she whipped around her green eyes full of anger. "Could you warn a cat sooner before you decided to fall on them!" Then she snorted and said, "Why were you even climbing the cave walls anyway Berryfrost?"

[Anya]

"Ouch!" Betryfrost was thrown off and he was sprawled on the cold floor. And it was hard.

"Could you warn a cat sooner before you decided to fall on them!" an annoyed voice caught his ears.

"I said look out, geez Ivyheart don't be so rough," he huffed, "it's very unbecoming."

"Why were you even climbing the cave walls anyway Berryfrost?" she snorted.

That made him freeze up. What was he gonna say? If she found out about his berry stashes she'd tell Sunleap, or Russetwolf...or worse, Featherheart. The image of his angry mother made him sit up straight, fur fluffed out in fear. His green eyes wide and wavering.

"Um...for fun?" Berryfrost avoided eye-contact, his whiskers quivering.

[Skiv]

Ivyheart looked down to see Berryfrost on the stone floor himself. Serves him right. She thought instantly. Then she just flattened her ears slightly at his next comment. She was not rough, he just landed on her! She had the right to knock him to the floor if she wanted too because it was only just returning the favor that he gave to her. She just rolled her eyes and let him continue speaking. She watched him as he avoided her eyes and he came out with a lame excuse for climbing the cave walls. "If you think that was rough you might think again." Then she sat down and started washing her face then she stopped and said, "Just for fun! Berryfrost your lucky you just landed on me, what if you landed on a kit? Hm? And your excuse was," She dropped her voice matching his pitch, "um.. for fun?" Then she looked at him like you have got to be kidding me.

[Anya]

“Okay, okay, you caught me.” Berryfrost rushed over to push Ivyheart into the corner. The tom placed a paw on her muzzle to keep her quiet. “You can’t tell anyone,” he looked around nervously and lowered his voice, “I’ve been keeping secret berry stashes in the crevices up on the walls.” he whispered.

“You’re the only one that knows and if Featherheart found out I’m dead! I’m a goner...so you can’t tell anyone!” Berryfrost placed his left fore-paw on the right one that he had placed on her muzzle as if it would make sure she’d stay quiet.

Ivyheart got pushed over to the side from the white tom. She just scrambled backwards and complained a bit. She was about to open her big mouth when she felt a white paw over it. She just looked at him with a look that was like, Uncover my mouth bird brain. I get it you want me to be quite. Then she just knew that he wasn't going to take it off so she just watched him silently as he told her that he just had a stash of berries in the cave cracks. She just rolled her eyes playfully at them, it wasn't really that big of a deal but apparently it was to him. She just waited for him to take his paw on her mouth and then he put two on. She nodded yes slightly, but opening her mouth and biting his paw slightly not very hard but enough to hurt.

[Anya]

"Ow! Ow, ow, ow!" Berryfrost flailed his paw around in agony and pain.

"You...you bit me! You're a monster." he whimpered, dramatizing the injury.

"Do I need to disinfect this? I can't show it to Featherheart she'd freak..." he sniffed his paw moving it around to see whether he could identify the puncture marks.

[Skiv]

Ivyheart just laughed at the white tom. He was quite a kit wasn't he? She couldn't help but laugh at the tom, so she just fell over still laughing she was on her back. She just then finally stopped laughing to see Berryfrost examining his white paw and she just rolled her eyes playfully at the tom. She rolled back onto her stomach and reached out and grabbed Berryfrost's paw and looked at it. She just tossed it back at him and said, "You are fine." Then she just twitched her whiskers at him, "Your almost worst than a kit." Then she rolled back onto her back look blinking her bright green eyes at the white tom.

[Anya]

"I am not! It's not my fault you're so brutal without an ounce of compassion in your heart." he sniffles looking down at her.

Am I that kittish? Berryfrost tilted his head.

"Berryfrost!"

Suddenly an ear piercing voice crackled and boomed like thunder and lightning and a handsome ginger tom with a very authoritative air walked over with glaring amber eyes. A milder, more mellowed ginger tom followed, his copper-gold eyes were much softer.

"Copperrush and I are going out in search of Pebblestar again; be sure to keep an eye on the apprentices while we're gone -I do not want to see them dangling for their lives." Sunstep spoke firmly.

"Oh Sunstep you know I'm not that irresponsible. The kits wanted to go out for a climb I didn't force them." Berryfrost cowered, hiding behind Iveheart.

"And I'm a kittypet." Sunstep snorted before stalking off.

"Just be careful Berryfrost," Copperrush laughed, "good day Ivyheart." he gave a curt nodded before turning to follow Sunstep out of camp.

[Skiv]

Ivyheart just growled to him instantly, "Don't you talk to me like that. You don't know me." Then she just looked away from him. She didn't like that. She hated when other told her that because they didn't even know half of who she was. Yes she was very tough on the outside but they would see her inside eventually. She just looked away then she saw some cat approaching from the side, two ginger toms came approaching them. Ivyheart knew the two cat's names but not much about them personally. She rolled over on her stomach and then looked at the pair of cats. She looked at Sunstep with her green eyes and she just realized that they weren't talking to her but to Berryfrost was hiding right behind. She just gave a look at him like seriously its just other cats. Wow this tom need someone to whip into shape. Then she listened at the cats had a conversation and then nodded to Copper-rush, before saying. "Don't worry about it boys" Then she turned and looked at Berryfrost and said, "Why do you let them bully you like that?"

[Anya]

Berryfrost shrugged, he hadn't thought of it as bullying. "I wouldn't say they're bullying me," he began, a bit more seriously, "Copperrush is really nice but he's a dad and all and he's sort of always been thoughtful...hmmm Sunstep is a bit of a bully. I guess I annoy him a lot so he's harsher towards me than with others." his green gaze grew thoughtful. Why if he didn't look like himself cats would begin to think he was a different Berryfrost. A very foreign Berryfrost.

(I'm sorry for my absence, but I'm still willing to continue if you are.) Skiv

Ivyheart just watched as the white tom actually looked a warrior for the first time they had meet. He answered her question with out whining like a little kit about how mean she was. Ivyheart just shrugged and said, "Well still. I don't care who they are its no way to treat a clan mate. but if its the only way to get you to take anything seriously maybe some one needs to hit you in the head with a rock." Then the warrior just chuckled slightly, "I would be happy to do that." Twitching her whiskers playfully at the white tom, she hoped that he took that as a joke because it was. She probably wouldn't hit him in the head with a rock unless she really thought he was mouse-brained.

Berryfrost's eyes widened and he put both paws on top of his head and crouched low. "Noooo!" He cried out.

"Berrykit!" A tortoiseshell kitten latched onto the warriors tail, her amber eyes filled with mischief.

"Fallenkit! It's Berryfrost..." another kit, smaller and daintier followed behind but as soon as she saw Ivyheart her voice faded away and she looked down to her paws.

"I know that," Fallenkit snorted, "lighten up Cherrykit, you know Berryfrost doesn't mind." the two kits were nearly ready to be apprentices but they bickered as if they were elders.

"but it's rude, he's a warrior you should respect him." Cherrykit whispered, eyeing Ivyheart with frightened eyes.

"Exactly." Berryfrost stuck his tongue out at Fallenkit.

[Skiv]

Ivyheart watched as Berryfrost crouch down. Ivyheart just narrowed her eyes and thats when she heard the squeal of kits. One called out Berrykit, the tabby warrior just rolled her eyes. This tom was such a kit, no wonder why the two other warriors talked to him like that. She had no idea how he became a warrior but sadly he did. She just turned to look at the kits with her green eyes. There seemed to be three of them. Wait four if you included Berrykit. She just let them play it would and she then saw the one kit look at her with frightened eyes, Thats right kit be frightened She just looked at Berryfrost and shook her head and growled low not saying a word to the four kits.
