Stormcloud crept into the clearing. The four massive oak tree towering above him.
But, it was not the full moon, nor was he a medicine cat on the way to Moonstone. No, it was something else.
Stormcloud looked around the clearing of the Fourtrees. Sunlight beamed down on him. Finally, he found what he had been looking for her. The tom ran up and greeted her, letting out a long purr.
He had dreamed. But, ever since last night, he couldn't get it out of his head. So, he slipped away from a hunting patrol, knowing that Crowstar did not want any cat alone after the attack.
The tom went to the center of the clearing, where the Great Rock jutted out of the ground.
It was sunhigh now, he hadn't seem the Fourtrees in the light since.. .. . .. he was just an apprentice.
Stormcloud sat down with a sigh. At least he would get a little alone time.

((OOC: No one please jump in this. Charbs and I have been waiting to start this.))
Nightsky ran through some bushes noisily. She had been chasing a rabbit and was getting really frustrated. With one last angry pounce, she killed the annoying rabbit.
She looked up, since she had been so keen on catching this rabbit, she hadn't seen where she had chased it to. Looking at the great big oaks, she realized she had chased her way to Fourtrees.
Seeing another cat, Nightsky hissed. She didn't realize she wouldn't be alone. Then she realized it was Stormcloud, her friend from Shadowclan.
"Oh. Hi Stormcloud, I didn't notice it was you. What are you doing here anyway?" Nightsky asked nervously.

Stormcloud's head shot up. "Nightsky?" he mewed.
He ran up to the WindClan border, careful not to trespass.
"I-I.... ... I had a dream. I was in the clearing of Fourtrees, the sun shining. And then... ... Then, you came." he mewed, his voice a little shaky at first, but got more stable as he went on. Stormcloud was never usually nervous around other cats, but something was different when he was around Nightsky.
"What brings you here, though?" he asked the she-cat.

"Uh, well this stupid rabbit didn't want to die." Nightsky said nervously. She tried to keep her tone light, "Do you want some of it? My clan has been fed and I can't eat this all by myself."

"Oh, no thank you. That would be wrong. It was killed on your territory, after all." Stormcloud nervously mewed.
Wrong to take the rabbit?
In the pit of his stomach, something told him he should be here. But, his heart told him otherwise.
Why am I here? he questioned himself. No one would ever know the answer to that question. And it would be asked by many other cats so many times.
But, in truth, Stormcloud didn't care why exactly he was here. But, he knew at least one reason; Nightsky.

"So, uh, how's your clan?" Nightsky asked nervously, just trying to make conversation.
She padded over to Stormcloud and set the rabbit down. She laid down and waited for his response.

Stormcloud hesitated a moment before responding. Then pushed the thought aside. He barely knew his she-cat, but it was like he could easily trust her with his life.
"We're slowly repairing since the rogue attack. Crowstar's poor kits don't even have a mother. She died shortly after giving birth during the battle." he mewed, his voice held traces of sorrow.
He couldn't imagine how he would be without a mother. Sure, for the first moon of his life she couldn't tell the difference between him and his brothers. But, he knew that she always loved him. Still, he couldn't imagine life without her, he still occasionally visited her in the elder's den.

"That's horrible!" Nightsky said angrily.
Stupid rogues! Now Crowstar's kits could die easily, and they will die without a mother!
"How will they live?" NIghtsky asked with sympathy in her voice.

"Well, Clawear is expecting kits of her own any day now. I think Crowstar might ask her to nurse them. But, Serpentwind gave birth to five kits. I fear that Clawear might not be able to care for them and her upcoming kits, too. That is, if she does accept." Stormcloud mewed.
The gray tom laid down next to Nightsky. Her presence alone comforted him. And that seemed like all he ever needed.

"Well I hope Clawear will. Your poor leader, bad things always come down on him.' Nightsky mewed sympathetically.
She shifted her paws. For some reason she felt extremely comfortable aroung him. More comfotable with him, than with any other cat.

"Yes, remember when he lost his last mate and kits?" Stormcloud mewed.
The ShadowClan tom couldn't keep his eyes from her's. That emerald stare could hold him for days, but it could feel like moments to him.
"Nightsky?" he hesitantly mewed, not completely sure about it.

"Can I tell you something?" Stormcloud hesitantly mewed.
It would be now or never, though. He might not have a chance to see her outside of a Gathering, or even a.. .... ... battle again.

"Uh, yeah, sure." Nightsky mewed back as coolly as she could.
What was he going to ask her? Nightsky was frantic to know, but she kept herself calm,on the outside at least.

"I've known you for only a few moons, now. But, it seems like I've known you my entire life." Stormcloud started. He paused a heartbeat to make sure he knew exactly what he was going to say.
"Before I met you, my life was well.. .. rather dull. It was like the same day kept repeating itself over and over again. Then, when I met you, I started to change. I went by the WindClan border in hopes of catching your eye. What I'm trying to say is.. .." he trailed off.
The gray tom knew exactly what he wanted to say, but.. .. It would never come out as he would of though. Those three little, meaningful words. The ones that could change a cat's life.
"I love you, Nightsky." he mewed softly. He knew what he was saying was all wrong. Everything against the warrior code. Against everything he's ever known. But, there was just something... ... But, his heart knew no boundaries. There were no rules for who a cat could truly love. No matter how much he tried to put it out of his head, nothing. He did truly and utterly love her.
