OOC/this is open to others...please post here...but especially hatchey...
The pure-colored deputy padded into camp with two mice and a fish in her jaws. The fresh, warm smell of blood wafted into her, but she tried to ignore it. She hadn't eaten since the day before...and even then it was only a bite or two of fish. In truth, she was...expecting. Expecting kits.
Obviously she wasn't supposed to, according to the warrior code. But she'd fallen in love with Jayfall against it, and it had led to...this. She glanced down at her swollen belly. Soon some cat would come up to her and ask her why she wasn't eating, and why her stomach was so big-since she wasn't eating.
The starving-herself thing had been a cover to hide the fact that she was pregnant. It was almost over, she could tell. She'd had kits once before, before she'd been deputy...but she knew it was the thing that would make Jayfall the most happy-kits.
She couldn't tell her former children; they'd ignore her forever. She'd have to have the kits outside of camp, and Jayfall would have to pretend he found them abandoned.
Her deputyship was important to her, but so was Jayfall. She was torn between her loyalty to her Clan and the warrior code and...true love. [/color]

Dawnstorm, staying slightly hidden in the dark corner of the camp, watched the two cats. They were near her, and she watched the interaction. The deputy hadn't eaten in a while, Dawn noticed, letting herself wonder. That wasn't normal. And, from many seasons of watching others, it was obvious how hungry Mistshine was. And the fresh-kill pile was full - as seemed Mistshine's stomach. There was no explanation. No - wait. There was. There was one reason, but it was impossible. But then... Dawnstorm had felt love, love against the rules, and knew how it felt. If she were deputy, and she fell in love, if she were in such a position and pregnant, what would she do? That made it a bit more plausible. But the worst part was the Dawn had never felt curiosity this strong. Usually detached and depressed, this thing that could link her to the clan deputy was deeply intriguing. The calico cat moved forward, a little closer, to try to watch and hear better. She wanted to go up and ask, wanted to desperately, but she couldn't. Her paws simply stopped working at the thought of such a conversation. No, just at the idea of talking to another RiverClanner at all. Suddenly she realized the secret that she had perhaps uncovered, and her legs stopped working, too. She sank to the ground with a little thud.
OOC: the only way I could get her involved xD

*huggles cindy TIGHT*
Mistshine looked at Jayfall, eyes filled with love and compassion. Jayfall, she whispered, there's no need to apologize. This was my decision, and I'll go through with it. She glanced around to make no cat had heard, and spotted a lone she-cat in the corner of the camp. Dawnstorm. Mistshine tipped her head to the side. She'd never heard Dawnstorm speak....well, maybe once. Not more. Dawnstorm did what she was told without questioning-she seemed rather shy. Mistshine whispered one moment to Jayfall and began padding over to Dawnstorm. The warrior seemed thoughtful yet fearful. Mistshine would be fearful too, if the deputy had come to address her without notice. As she reached her denmate, she dipped her head in greeting. Hello. I noticed you were watching me. Did you want to ask me something?
Briefly she wondered if the cat knew her secret...her turquoise eyes flashed in panic. No. She couldn't.
Even if Dawnstorm had known about Mistshine and Jayfall, she wouldn't speak a word of it. At least, from what Mistshine had seen of the she-cat showed she wouldn't.
OOC; pretty sucky...

Dawnstorm's head when all fuzzy, panicky white noise flooding her ears. She couldn't think, much less talk. Almost blind with unexplained fear, Dawn cowered down, wanting to sink into the ground and never be seen again. Her pulse accelerated, and some of the adrenaline did what it was designed for - cleared a little of the fear from her mind. Heart hammering in her chest, Dawn managed to choke out, "I... I- I won-won't tell. I..." She knew, deep where rational thought could still process, that these words would make Mistshine furious. Dawnstorm knew many secrets, but nothing as big as this. She closed her eyes, willing the deputy to just go away. After all, Dawnstorm feared cats with power even more than the average RiverClan warrior. She didn't usually get such blind fear, but that was because she now knew something that Mistshine definitely didn't want her to know. Anycat would be nervous, but add on an instinctive flight response and there you go: panic. |

I....thanks. Mistshine's eyes glowed in relief, and she aighed as Dawnstorm closed her eyes. It was obvious that the she-cat was terrified. Dawnstorm. She brushed her tail along her denmate's muzzle. I don't bite,you know. She knew the she-cat was extremely shy, and maybe even had a slight case of depression. You know, there's no reason to be scared. She stepped back. You don't have to be the most outgoing cat ever, but you could talk once in a while.
ooc/sucky. but I have to go =[

Oh. Joy. This just had to happen, didn't it? All the nice cats who thought they could do her a favor by talking to her. It just didn't work that way, not for Dawnstorm. Some cats opened up to kindness. Dawnstorm just didn't open up. Except... but she stopped herself. He'd disappeared; she was never going to see him again. Thinking of him, she wanted to speak. He'd wanted her to, even though the two had only met once. She was sure that he would encourage her to speak. But not make her, never. That was just the kind of cat he'd been. "I... I can't," she murmured, half to herself and half to Mistshine. She kept her lids shut on her orbs. She knew well enough what would happen if she saw the deputy. Seeing anycat staring down at her was enough to make her sick. She wanted to get up and run away, but that would require seeing and moving, nether of which Dawn could get herself to do. |

Mistshine shrugged as Dawnstorm kept her eyes closed. All right. Just consider what I said. She turned away, slightly waddling because of her plumpness. As she padded back to Jayfall, her eyes were slightly dull with the annoyance of failure.
OOC/cold...cold...cold.

OOC: sorry!
Jayfall swiped his tounge over Mistshine's ears. He knew he should have refused. If anyone else found out................. I'll be back............ I'm going to.................. Go for a walk........................ He said to Mistshine. He turned and padded towards the entance of camp.

OOC: Ack, now what does Dawn do? She'd basically just sit there, but that's not interesting, is it?  This is why I knew Dawn wouldn't be right for the thread...
