"... i don't believe you.... what's in it for you..?", if there was some random tom making friends there must be a reason- i mean, normally people attack Luminous instead of requesting his friendship. 'you must have something planned..' Luminous thought this to himself while staring into Onyx's eyes with his one left eye.

"For me I get a new friend, and for you, you get protection." he said, his voice stern. He stared hard at the tom, then his gaze softened. Maybe he came from a bad past? he thought. I know I did. he closed his eyes and then looked up. "Alright Luminous, I will make you a deal. If you can give me one day and I don't please you, then you get one free attack on me." he said, knowing it will never happen, for he was nearly as invisible as Hannibal. But he truly wanted this toms trust. He was young, and needed guidance.

Shouldn't you be in your heavenly Thunderclan?" his tone was amocking one. The clans got under his skin for whatever reason,maybe it was the way he was raised and trained to think,but they annoyed him to the point he'd rather watched 100 kits then listen to a clan cat. "Whiskey is a good name,Hollyfrost is the weird name here." he retorted.

The she-cat chuckled, "It is not always heavenly," she responded. "But I was hunting, and I just lost my way..." she said simply as she looked at her paws then back up. "And no, Whiskey is a strange name... what does it even mean?" she asked tilting her head at him.

"You seem pretty far from your home,you sure you were just hunting?" he questioned. He continued walking,the sound of crunching snow beneath them. He thought about the question on his name for a moment,thinking. "Its a drink that twolegs drink some kittypets told me," he mewed,"it can be the best drink or the worst drink,kind of like me." this was true,Whiskey could either be very rude,stubborn,irritable and cocky all at once or he could show a somewhat sweet side,or most that he can for being a Dusk Syndicate cat. So far by talking to the molly she didn't seem like a threat-though he still had to lead her to his commander so her future would be decided. Perhaps she'd be taken in as prisoner or even want to join,he didn't know. But by the judge of her not being agressive towards him,he figured she was alright with Dusk Syndicate cats.

"Yeah, I get sidetracked easily. That bird just caught my eye, and I was pinned on it," she responded as she looked around. "Ah... I have never heard of Whiskey before..." she mewed. "Hmm, well I like you so far... so you are doing pretty good," she mewed as she licked her maw. "Shoot... we left my prey back there," she sighed as she shook her head. "So what is your rank? Warrior?" she asked tilting her head to one side.

Once he was finished and asked what she was waiting for, she let out a huff of annoyance before casually following after him. Her pelt was a bit thicker than his, however unlike his soft steps, she didn't care if anyone heard they were around and simply let her paws fall with a soft thud. Jinx's tail tip twitched in thought before Augustus suddenly stopped to point in a certain direction and there began his rambling.

Her hues followed in the directions he gestured and she simply sat there and listened with a blank face. However her mind was running rampaged with thoughts as he spoke. She had a list mentally tallying what she would and wouldn't say when he gave her the chance to speak. The best friends thing and the being nice thing were the biggest concerns on her list. However she'd let him do whatever he wanted on figuring out her rank. Jinx crouched down, her ears pricked towards him and her hues glancing around. The scenery he described was correct, there wasn't much to this place. She didn't enjoy that part too much because she felt left out in the open and the ground was hard. Jinx was used to the marshy grounds, the softness of the ground even in leaf-bare, here it was just hard and cold and it made her paws ache after a while. Of course she wasn't one to let that show without a good reason.

Once his rambling was done, Jinx let out a small sigh and muttered something under her breath. Inhaling, she sat upwards, her tail wrapping around her paws impatiently. "Shadowclan was easier to run compared to this place, the cats would listen to anything and everything and wouldn't question it directly to their leader. If I could go back, I would because mouse-brains are easily to manipulate compared to those here who clash with each other because no one but Halite and Boreas matter. Even that little Onyx feline I've heard about, doesn't matter because he's got no power over the two. Similar to how Shadowclan worked, but everyone got respected at least. Here no one seems to know what that is and Hannibal is the only feline here that seems to know how to take to disrespect," she paused, that was one point down. "Secondly, we're not best friends. Perhaps in your fantasy locked away in your head we are, but I'm not your friend. You're very cocky and it almost seems fake, but I have nothing to back that up so you're untrustworthy. I'm not nice to anyone so you can get over yourself if you think I'll change for you," he replied, her words were bitter, but she never lied. "This two negatives thing you keep repeating, if you wanna be real, two negatives drive each other apart from what I've learned so I don't really understand how you can think we can get along. This thing you said about not letting me get driven insane, well I don't need you to keep me grounded. I have logical reasons to stay grounded, if anything this cockiness of yours will drive me insane. Don't rely on anyone, Augustus, because you'll get hurt in the end whether you want to or not, I certainly won't be relying on you and your attachment issues." Jinx paused again, the entire time she spoke, her voice was flat and no emotions other than hints of anger here and there showed. Her hues were simply searching his, wondering how he'd react. Lastly, I don't care about your bird feather. I've seen plenty, I've eaten plenty, I simply don't care. You can keep that obsession to yourself. Random, unnecessary information such as that doesn't concern me and I simply don't need to know it. It's as useless as the feather attached to no bird,"

Augustus sensed a long response coming, so he turned completely to face her where he sat down, curling his thin tail over his forepaws. He sat tall, but his head was not held high. Instead, he looked like a curious kitten. His eyes were wide with awe and interest, and he would nod every now and then with understanding, murmuring `uh-huh` and `mhm`. However, everything Jinx said went in one ear and out the other. As she spoke, he engulfed himself into his own reality. He watched her mouth move, and he replaced her harsh words with his own.

`Yes! Of course I'll be your best friend, Augustus! After all, two negatives make a positive! Now, we'll find that feather when the earth isn't as hard, okay? I promise you that much,` The words Augustus created in his mind were heart-warming, and caused a bright smile to warm his features. ``Great! I'm glad we're on the same terms. Now, I heard some names in there - who are Hannibal and Onyx? Hannibal's quite the strange name, don't you think? I've never heard anything like that - it sounds like cannibal. Hm. Anyway, what do you want to do now, Jinxie? Ooh! Since we're going to be best friends, why don't we get to know one another? I'll start. I love green, I have one brother, I was born a rogue, I don't have many friends, and I'm a fighter in the Dusk Syndicate. Your turn!`` His tone was cheerful, unusual in such a dark place.

He was the total opposite of Jinx, and it would surely take effort to form some kind of a genuine friendship between them. At the moment, she seemed to just be tolerating him - probably because she would get lost if she left his side? She was probably anticipating the moment they returned to camp, where she could rid herself of him, but Augustus was oblivious to her feelings, thoughts, intentions, desires... her everything, really.

Though you may spend time with Augustus and think him not to of been driven insane by the mad place he lived in, you'd be wrong. You may think he was simply kit-like, trying to distract himself from the harshness of the Dusk Syndicate, but his kit-like nature was his insanity.

A small grey she cat no bigger than a kit watched from a tree,interesting. She thought swiping a paw over her muzzle to wash away the scent of prey,think Flower, they might not want to talk but you should at least try. She told herself, she jumped down and padded into a nearby bush,"Hi I-I'm f-flower." She stuttered

Needle padded swiftly less than a fox-length behind Death on his left flank. He made sure to keep a respectful and careful distance from the Syndicate cat to ensure both his own safety and make the tom less wary of him. He watched with careful observation as they strode deeper into the territory; he dipped his head in a respectful nod whenever they passed another cat. Needle kept his hackles slightly raised out of self-protected habit but made sure to have his tail relaxed and ears pricked forward. After walking for a little while he decided to try and learn more about his escort. "I do believe we were not properly introduced I must apologize. I'm Needle and I'm a loner from farther north. I have heard stories about your group and came here hoping to be of use to your ranks. May I ask where exactly we are headed?" He meowed.

"We are heading to the camp. Its a little ways away. Come on. We are almost there. All we need to do is go throught these bushes, across a log then under a few bushes. "
He laughed.

Flower stared at them, her pelt grew warm,"Hello again!" She called hoping he wouldn't yell at her again,"Its me flower!" She called
