Lion padded through the forest, his head held high. He felt rather lonely, walking along each and every day alone. He sighed, suddenly stopping. A thought crossed his mind. He was utterly alone. "I've been alone almost all my life," Lion mumbles to himself, the realization sinking in.

"My name is Coffee, pleasure to meet you." She mewed, smiling.

Bear stood up straight, dipping his head. "Pleasure to meet you, too, Coffee." He flicked his ears and began to pad in a small circle. "Where've you come from? I live in a den not too far from here." The brown coloured fur of Bear ruffled softly in a breeze.

Raven's paws felt as if they were made of stone, yet she padded on. How did she do it? She didn't know. How was she still alive? She didn't know. The only thing she was sure of as she padded onward, was that she was going somewhere and somewhere safe. She didn't care exactly where it was, If it was in a hollow tree,it was under a bramble bush, even if it was near two-legs. No, the only thing that mattered was that it was somewhere, and somewhere safe.

Her black pelt brushed her mates wiry brown one. She turned her gaze to him and sighed, burying her nose in his fur. It was unbelievably painful to be doing what she was doing. She had been a traveler, but she had stopped for a while. Now the only cat she was with was her mate: Branchcloud.

When she had lived with other cats, a group of them in fact, she had gotten used to living with them. The scent of other cats, sharing food with them. When she had first joined, she was reluctant. She had always been a rouge, what was the point of being in a group. But somehow, the fierce and prickly raven had come to like living in a group. It surprised her, greatly, especially when she started to have a soft-spot towards one of the members. After a while, she had grown to like living in a group, maybe even to respect Redclaw a little bit. She would like a home with other cats, just to feel better about the group falling apart.

As her mind returned to the present, she was aware that, that life was gone now. She had to get used to being a rouge again. It was part of life, it always had been. She focused her senses on the grass rustling in the wind, on the butterflies and other things, but it was hard. Raven focused on Branchcloud again. She nuzzled his shoulder, though her gaze was clouded with worry.

Branchcloud padded alongside Raven, silently admiring her sleek black pelt. His dark green eyes shifted over to his mate, who's face showed great sorrow, "its okay." Branchcloud whispered quietly in her ear, brushing his pelt against her's and intertwining his tail with hers.

The two walked along a flower covered plain as the sun was nearing the horizon.
Up ahead, there were a few brambles laying around. Branchcloud started to sprint over and picked up the brambles and placed them in a small circle around a flowerbed. "We can sleep here for the night, I think you need to rest."

Raven looked gratefully at him. She turned her weary paws towards the small circle of brambles. It wasn't much but it would have to do. She circled the flower bed for a while, before deciding on just the right spot. Laying down, she put her head on her paws. Her a gaze traveled up to her mate. " Thank you." She murmured, but her gaze didn't tay on him. She dropped it. She dropped it because she was to tired.

Raven didn't fall asleep. She was to overtaken by the thought that there might be other cats. Raven's muzzle tilted into the air, but she couldn't smell other cats. She sighed. Why can't we be around other cats! She thought desperately. Her mind was in battle of weather she should find other cats, or find the safest place to live. But then wasn't the safest place among other cats? Raven didn't know. Once again she turned her gaze on Branchcloud and asked, "Do you think other cats live around here?"

Branchcloud's ear twitched at the sound of Raven's voice quietly echoing in the night. His green eyes slowly opened as he ever so slightly tilted his head in his mate's direction, "To be honest, I don't know. But we can search in the morning, there's bound to be someone somewhere." Hope flared in his eyes as he leaned forward and touched her nose, moving closer so their pelts brushed. "Let's go to sleep now." The brown tom smiled at her then laid his head down, and fell asleep.

Raven nodded, his words soothing her. She was glad they could search in the mourning, but she was tired at the moment. She moved closer to him still, snuggling up close and breathing in his scent. There might be other cats, There might be other cats... The thought repeated over and over in her head until she fell asleep.

The two slept soundly for the rest of the night. The cool breeze ruffling their pelts as the morning sun slowly arose into the sky. Branchcloud opened his green eyes slowly and stood up, shaking the dew off his pelt. His gaze turned to Raven who was still sleeping, Better not wake her. Branchcloud thought to himself. Maybe I'll hunt. The brown pelted tom opened his mouth and caught a trace of rabbit. He followed it's scent to a small tree in the middle of the moor. A fluffy white rabbit hopping around. He made sure he was downwind as he unsheathed his claws and shrunk down into hunting position while padding forward slowly. The rabbit then noticed him and Branchcloud swiftly hauled himself on top of it, quickly killing it with a bite to it's neck. Branchcloud picked up his prey and walked back over to where his mate was sleeping and sat down, waiting for her to awake.

The scent of rabbit hit the molly's nostrils. She opened her eyes and peered up at the wiry brown tom above her. Raven scrambled to her paws, sitting up. "Nice catch." she purred though she hadn't actually seen him catch it. She took a bite out of the rabbit, closing her eyes at the taste. It was so good! Raven purred in satisfaction. It felt like she was talking her first bite of fresh-kill in her life.But instead it was taking famished gulps and reminding yourself how hood something was.

( @narwhalgirliv since you have not responded to this thread, I am thinking of making Raven pregnant and adding her to an RP with her father. )
