RiverClan Clearing

[Hexict]

@Nighty

As Colby waited for Sunbreeze to return from showing the young kit the nursery, he had been listening to Bucknight's newest announcement. The black tom slightly flattened his ears at it. Having lived outside the clans for the majority of his life the former loner wasn't too invested in Starclan, but he had heard enough of the Dark Forest to know that this was bad news. He wondered what Spottedsong would do. His first Riverclan friend had been missing for awhile now, and he constantly seemed to be wondering about her, about the cat that had initially informed him about the clans and had helped him join.

He shook his ebony head. It hadn't taken the tom too long to fall for the spotted molly, but he now was forming feeling towards a certain ginger tabby...

Colby started to wonder how Sunbreeze would feel about this new announcement that their leader had stated during the meeting he had called. If she likes it, than it couldn't be all that bad, right? But what if she doesn't... he wasn't the smartest cat in Riverclan, but he was no idiot either. He knew he couldn't speak up for Starclan without punishment. He couldn't help but think about what Featherwing had told him when Bucknight first came to power. He had said that he didn't trust many cats now and would probably be sleeping in the territory instead of the warriors' den, and Colby had offered to go with him - he didn't see what the tabby had seen but didn't want to question the cat that was in Riverclan longer than him. But he was now starting to see it.

Sunbreeze emerged from the nursery with a satisfactory sigh of relief. It had taken a bit of time to get the little one calmed down and asleep after the overwhelming flood of kits in the nursery. She had waited until she was sure that he was asleep, and then came back, remembering that Colby was still waiting for her. During her time in the nursery though, she had heard Bucknight call a meeting, but was unaware of anything mentioned within it. As Sunbreeze approached the black tom cat, who had been her welcoming party from her return from Shadowclan, she smiled softly, like she always did. "Sorry that took so long Colby." She apologized, knowing that he had indeed waited here patiently for her. "I heard a meeting going on, what was it all about? The usual?"

Initially forcing a smile when the molly appeared, the onyx tom sat a bit straighter. "Oh don't worry about it," he flicked his tail as she apologized for making him wait. "How's the kit?" He didn't understand how she could so easily adopt a kit. He wasn't sure how great of a parent he would be himself, though he was sure that Sunbreeze was a great one. She was kind and caring. Colby found that not many cats carried that quality.

His fake grin fell as she asked about Bucknight's announcement. He glanced away for a moment as he thought about how to word it, knowing that if someone over heard him and if he spoke more for Starclan, then he'd be punished. "Not exactly..."

He took a breath and looked at her. "He's turning the clan from Starclan. Apparently Starclan has enslaved us, so now we're following the Dark Forest," there was a slight growl in his tone as he informed her about this. He hoped that she was as willing as some of their clanmates to make such an extreme leap from faiths. "He says that if we wish to continue under Starclan then we'll be punished," his tail lashed slightly at this, but he tried to remain calm.

Tigerpaw snarled at his littermates," Cowards, unsupporters of Bucknight!"
Duskpaw mumbled," I support Bucknight."
Walnutpaw sneered," I am loyal to my gut instincts"

Sunbreeze padded over and sat down beside him, her white and ginger pelt brushing his lightly. Her blue eyes were calm. "Yeah, she fine, after I shooed all the other kits away." She mewed with a slight laugh, that quickly died away as he continued. She listened in horror about Bucknight's proprosition. "I knew that Bucknight was no good from the start." she muttered, mostly to herself. "Why does he expect us all to forsake our beliefs that we've held since kithood?" she wondered, desperately wanting Colby to know the answers for her, when she secretly knew that he didn't hold all the answers, he was like her in that way. She at first was angered by Bucknight's ignorance of his Clan's members. Soon she settled herself down and asked in return to Colby. "What do you think?"

Perhaps it was the fact that she hadn't trained that day; her stored up energy may have added speed to her paws. "Having fun back there, Nightkit? Catch me if you can!" She mewed in a loud voice, earning herself looks. Of course Cloudpaw wasn't the type to be embarrassed easily, and she especially wasn't going to be embarrassed in front of her clanmates easily. They were going to have to get used to her kitlike ways, especially because she imagined she would have them for a while longer. Although perhaps, maybe, possibly...there was just the faintest chance that she would give them up sooner than she thought. After all, an apprentice couldn't always be expected to be perfect, but they couldn't be kitlike forever.

(Sorry, didn't notice you posted!)
Nightkit continued his pursuit after her, ducking under some of the cats in his path and dodging around others. Soon, he skidded to a stop, realizing that he was never going to be able to catch up with her by just chasing her; she was much too fast. He'd have to strategize. Little chest heaving, he looked around, grasping for ideas until he finally came up with one. He darted behind a nearby den and crouched down, hiding from her view and hoping that she would pass by and he would be able to jump out at her and tag her.

(It's alright!)

Cloudpaw darted around some more cats, and then realized that she could no longer see Nightkit chasing her. Frowning a little, the she cat padded backwards, retracing her steps and wondering if he had simply gotten lost in the crowd of cats that was hanging about the clearing at that moment. There wasn't much to do now, other than her apprentice duties, but those could always wait until later. Besides, as far as she knew, she was off for the day. How much longer, she wasn't sure- but she hoped she'd be able to play with her little kit-friend for a while longer. "Nightkit? Nightkit, are you out here?" She called, her blue hues searching the Clearing for her friend. Unknown to her, he was actually quite nearby in a den, but she couldn't have known that and continued moving onwards, her tail tip brushing dangerously close to Nightkit's hiding spot.

Nightkit crouched down low, wiggling his rump in a kit-like manner as he waited for the right moment to jump out on the apprentice. He waited for her to be close enough for him to be able to effectively jump on her and tag her. But tagging her wasn't the only thing he was focused on--he also had to take into account how hard it would be for him to get away again when she began to chase him. He flicked his tail once more before leaping out, his paws landing on Cloudpaw's back. "Tag!" He shouted, than began his getaway by launching off of her back, stumbling slightly in the process, and darting away again. "You're it!" He called behind him, already several tail-lengths ahead.

Cloudpaw gave a mew of surprise, nearly launching herself into the air before her blue hues narrowed in playful determination and she took off after Nightkit. The young tom was surprisingly agile, and she hadn't taken it into account that he could probably fit through smaller spaces better, since she was the larger of the two. The white and smoky blue apprentice darted through the spaces she could reach, and reached out her paw to tag him, her other three paws carrying her quickly across the clearing. She was still surprised at the other kit's agility, and beginning to struggle quite visibly with her task of tagging him. "You're so fast!" Cloudpaw exclaimed, trying to get herself closer to the young ebony pelted tom so that she could manage to finally tag him, relieving herself of being 'it.' Truth be told, she was impressed by the younger cat's speed; and his improvision when he had been unable to catch her the first time.

(Sure! I should probably get a family for her (and Nightkit) though...)
Nightkit continued running, but was slowly running out of energy. After all, he was just a kit, and he had a limited amount of stamina. He tried looking for a place to hide just long enough for him to catch his breath and regain some of his energy, but with her this close to tagging him, it was useless. Plus he did not have the time to stop and look around for a hiding place, so he would have missed most, if not all of the decent places to sneak away to.
