The Nice Rogue [CLOSED]

[Deleted]

Snowpelt had learned that the entrance of the clan was here.  Slipping into the camp clearing, she tried to act as if she belong.  Leader, leader, where would the leader be?  The biggest den?  Or maybe on a tall rock somewhere.  Anyway, might as well ask around and act like she belonged.  Snowpelt headed up to the nearest cat.

On the clearing, exploring their surroundings, there where two kits. The older one, bored, looked around and saw the unknown white she-cat. Riverkit stopped, his pale amber eyes staring at the newcomer.

"Who are you?"-He asked, his blue-furred tail flickering with doubt. She didn't had the scent of anyone of his clan.

The younger one, Kestrelkit, was more excited; his deep green eyes shining with emotion. A rogue! I hope she does something interesting...-He thought, smiling.

Looking at the kits, she answered quickly.
"I am SnowPelt. Where is the clan leader currently?" In a rush, she wanted to be part of the clan before she was found out at all. These kits could easily point her in the right direction, or at least explain what the leader looked like. Anything would be helpful.

Ashpaw caught whiff of an unfamiliar scent, and with their tail flicking and ears swiveling, they tracked it down. They pinpointed the rogue cat down and crept towards her uncertainly. They puffed their fur out to make themself look bigger. "Who are you? You aren't supposed to be here." They felt a bit intimidated by the stranger, but they were determined to protect and defend their home, so seeing this rogue cat wandering around as if they fit right in made them feel unsafe and uncomfortable.

[Deleted]

"I am SnowPelt and I'm looking for your leader" She explained once again to yet another cat. Hopefully she wouldn't have to do this many more times. It was getting very annoying. Glancing around the surronding camp area, SnowPelt began taking notes of where everything was and the paths to that place. She might need it as a back-up.

Kestrelkit was disappointed. He had the hope that this rogue would be the cruel, monstrous kind that he had heard other cats talking about. He would had loved to see some fighting. His black tail twitched, but he smiled kindly. "Ratstar? I think she's on her den..."-He mewed, before being interrupted by Riverkit.

Riverkit was confused. Why would a rogue want to join the clan? He stopped Kestrelkit's talking with a quick movement of his tail. That she-cat wasn't their problem. Why join a clan if you can be free?

Both kits heard the apprentice approaching. Kestrelkit took the opportunity to speak again. "This rogue wants to know where Ratstar is! I don't know why..."

"She says she wants to join"-Riverkit quickly added, so the apprentice wouldn't get any wrong ideas, how secretly Kestrelkit was aiming for. His voice made it clear that he was confused by this.

Rolling her eyes, Snowpelt sat down quickly.
"I was born a rogue and I wish to join the clan because if I do, I'll be safe from my mother, whom is still out there, I can offer you extra paws to fight with, and anything else I can do" she explained. Hopefully she would see this 'Ratstar' soon.

[Deleted]

Ashpaw listened to the kits, and then looked back at Snowpelt. They were unsure about this development, and weren't sure how to handle it. They were just an apprentice, and weren't equipped to deal with strange cats like this one. "What do you mean safe from your mother?" They inquired curiously, ears twitching.

[Deleted]

"I left her. She's hunting me down. Promised, when I was little, we would be 'together forever'. Well, ever since I learned she has been lying almost about everything, I left her. I broke the promise. She's mad, to say the least" She told this cat. Snowpelt never had a second thought about lying. She would not be her mother. Ever.

[Deleted]

"Oh," Ashpaw said simply, not exactly sure what to make of this new information. They licked their paw and washed their face, then looked back up at Snowpelt. "Why would you leave her? Is she bad?" They knew they were being nosy, but they were heavily intrigued by what this stranger had to say. They wanted to know all about this stranger.

[Deleted]

Sighing, Snowpelt continued to explain.
"Yes. She lied to me how my brothers and sisters were just 'with father' when really, they were dead. She never left my side and always told me 'Don't run away or the clans will kill you'. For years I trusted her sorry pelt, and she gave me a warrior's name from birth. When I finally told I was going to leave, she tried to rip my throat out while I slept" She answered.

[Deleted]

Ashpaw gaped, eyes wide and mouth hanging open. "That's horrible!" They insisted, not sure on what else to say. They weren't sure how to take in all of this, other than feel sorry for the she-cat and want to comfort her, some how. "Okay, let's, uh, let's not talk about that anymore." They said, albeit a bit awkwardly. "What did you say your name was again? Snowpelt? It's pretty, it suits you." They were desperate to try and change the topic, they felt uncomfortable talking about that.

[Deleted]

"Where does the leader stay?" Snowpelt asked the cat. They were clearly uncomfortable, and she wanted help change the subject. She had come for the leader, the leader was a topic, talk about the leader. Snowpelt hoped she'd find him quickly. She didn't want to know if any other cats were going to accept her?

[Deleted]

"Over there," Ashpaw said, motioning towards Ratstar's den. They weren't sure if Ratstar was around at the moment, sadly. "Do you want me to show you around?" They offered. Snowpelt didn't seem like she was untrustworthy, and if she was they could just use the excuse that they were just an apprentice to try and get away with trusting so easily. They tended to believe there was good in everyone.

[Deleted]

Snowpelt shook her head, she really wanted to meet the leader before she got a tour. No need to know the camp if she wasn't accepted inside at all.
"I'll be going then" she told the three cats before trotting off the leader's den, tail held high.  Now what were the right words to tell the leader?
