|I've Been :Waiting: For [You]|

[|g.O.l.d.Y|]

The white and light orange she-cat stalked noisily through the bracken, it wasn't as bad as it once had been with the help of Phantomwind. She smiled at the thought. Phantomwind pretty much kept to himself, but it made her feel like she had to crack his shell. Fiero wasn't so to-himself, he was fun to be around and she could relate to him. Oakheart was interesting, they hadn't really talked since their little 'uproar'.

But today she was here for one tom and one tom only: Fiero. It seemed like it had been ages since they had last seen each other. When she had left her life to join RiverClan as an apprentice. It had given her a pain that she rarely felt. Sadness, loss...

As she neared the fences she looked around and jumped up, sitting down neatly and surveying the tom's garden. With a smile she let out a rather quiet yowl, slightly shy and now wondering what she would say to him. She stood up and paced back and forth before letting out another yowl, louder this time.

Other cats looked up at her and she laid back her ears, hissing threateningly. They remembered the previous showcat's stance and perked their ears in surprise, but quickly retreated to their houses. She flicked her tail in satisfaction and laid down, hoping that Fiero still lived here.

OOC: I'm switching through those 3 toms >> Which should I choose... hmmm

[coddle the infectionxxx]

A tom bounded up. He was slender for a housecat, as required for shows. He was handsome, and his c.o.c.k.y face lit up with a sly grin at the sight of her.

Well look here.

He drawled, ambling right up to her, and licking her cheek.

[|g.O.l.d.Y|]

Destinypaw perked up her ears as she saw the familiar tom, sitting up with a bright smile. As he licked her cheek she smothered his face in joyous licks, finally stopping and purring. "I missed you Fiero, RiverClan is tougher than I expected, but I'm still in one piece. How have you been? Still winning those shows I bet!"

He smiled bitterly. No. My mistress- the one that cared died. Now I'm stuck with that horrid tom two leg that rarley feeds me. I someties get food at Stormy's place, but she eats those pellets I can't stand. The tom wrinkled his nose, and sat down, licking a paw. But enough about me. How goes life in the wild?

[|g.O.l.d.Y|]

Destinypaw frowned and looked down at her aws guiltily. "O-oh... At least you have Stormy to take care of you." It took every ounce of catanity to say it. "Life in the 'wild' is....well, it's different. My mentor - he's the one who's teaching me to hunt and fight - is the deputy and he's fair. He the one who resued me from the river. The other cats don't seem quite as ready to accept me. It smells something awful at our camp, but 'round this time of 'season' the prey is quite bountiful so I'm not really hungry.. I wish there was some way I could help you, Fiero, you don't know how much I would give for you."

[coddle the infectionxxx]

Sounds like a dream. No twolegs...

The firey tom said. He had an iron will, and though he was a little to slender for liking, his pelt shown. He had obviously taken pains so that the other cats in the two-leg place wouldnt know better.

What are clans exactly? Is there one? Whats a deputy? And what on earth is a Mentor?

He asked curiously. His handsome face was curious, and his confident and graceful personality flickered through each word that he spoke in his charasmatic voice.

[|g.O.l.d.Y|]

Destinypaw smiled and replied earnestly. "Clans are a bunch of cats that live together. They hunt and take care of each other. There's four and if another attacks you have to give it all you got to fight them off. There's something about trying not to kill and staying away from other clan cats in there somewhere. A deputy is like the second in command on the clan, a leader is, well, the leader of the clan. They say they have 9 lives... A mentor is like a trainer. They teach aprentices - students - to fight and hunt for the clan. I'm an apprentice, unfortunately I've been stripped of my name and it's been changed to Destinypaw. It's a bit complex, but I'm getting use to it... Fiero, what if your twoleg continues to be careless? Will you run away?"

[coddle the infectionxxx]

Belive me, it's crossed my mind,

Snorted the striking tom.

[|g.O.l.d.Y|]

Destinypaw flattened her ears sadly and nodded. "Well...maybe..I was thinking...if...well things got...got...b-bad enough...youcouldjoin RiverClan."

[coddle the infectionxxx]

Maybe. But- Would they accept me?

The tom asked doubtfully.

[|g.O.l.d.Y|]

"They accepted me didn't they? I mean we're both - I mean we both were showcats. I'm sure I could mange to convince Phantomwind or Autumnstar..." Destinypaw looked up hopefully. Things definetly wouldn't be so lonely if Fiero was around. "Or you could go live with Stormy... Whatever makes you happy."

[coddle the infectionxxx]

I think- I may come with you.

He said. His handsoem face was in a co.ck.y half smile.

[|g.O.l.d.Y|]

The she-cat grinned, trying not to let her excitement leak as she heard his answer. "That's great! Things definetly wouldn't be dull with you around! And I mean that in a good way. Of course I'll give you time to think about it. I mean I wouldn't want to pressure you. I'm rambling aren't I?" She shut her jaws and watched him through her big [insert=color][/insert] eyes.

[coddle the infectionxxx]

I don't need time to think, babe. Any more time and I'll be skinnier than your clannies. He purred, and nudged her with hsi nose.

[|g.O.l.d.Y|]

Destinypaw's nose twitched in surprise, but soon her face was covered in a half excited half mischevious grin. "Should we go now or do you want one last bite of Stormy's slop?"
