She had been here before...

An odd sense of familarity crept from the damp, moss-covered Twoleg Nest. A musky odor lingered in the still air, intertwining faint scents of old ShadowClan patrols and the Twolegs that had once occupied this nest. It was hardly a grand sight, with rotting wooden planks and rusty nails.

Rusty. That word seemed strangely familiar as well. Ah yes, she remembered now. The elders spoke of this story often, perhaps the most famous tale of all. Firestar, the greatest, most noble leader of all time. His ventures had been passed on from generation to generation, though Aurorafrost often thought his story was too extraordinary to be true. It must have been tweaked as the generations went by, each elder adding an exagerrating embellishment here or there. Firestar's former name had been Rusty, hadn't it? When he was a kittypet? Perhaps a kittypet had once lived in this abandoned Twoleg nest. Aurorafrost wondered what became of that kittypet, if he had existed. Perhaps he was now one of those strange rogue cats that lived in their territory? They had been sighted a few times, but never long enough to be chased off ShadowClan territory.

Though deputy duties called, the silver tortoiseshell could not leave the strange nest. Something was nagging her mind, it was at the tip of her tongue. If you've experienced this feeling before, you'd know that irritating sense. She knew this place somehow, and she was determined to not leave until she figured out even a vague "what" and "why".

Aurorafrost knew not the definition of a d¨¦j¨¤ vu, nor would she have related this incident to that if she knew. She was extremely stubborn at times, and this was one of those moments. She just knew she had, one way or another, experienced something like this before, but try as she might she could not grasp the details.

And so the feline sat in front of the abandoned nest, well furred tailed curled around her streamlined body. Her emerald eyes held a jaded expression as she stared blankly at the decaying walls. The Twoleg dwelling was testing her. And she would not allow it to prevail.


ooc: Egh, crap post :/

The young grey-black tom walked up behide Aurorafrost. He curled his tail around himself as he sat and looked at her. "What are you doing?" he asked. Though normaly he wouldn't ask any cat what they were doing, being as he was always up to something, this was the clan deputy. The dark tom twitched his eear when he remembered he was out here sneaking from camp whne he was supposed to be looking after the elders. He hoped she wouldn't ask. He quickly licked his fur and saw the coal darkness in it and wished his name had been different. Where his aprnets had come up with it, he had no idea. Though the only thing he did like was who he was named after. Firestar. When he was a kitty-pet, his name had been Rusty, which was very close to his own name. After licking his oelt quickly, Rustedpaw looked back up at the deputy.

ooc: Perfect ho wthe name worked out huh?

A barely audible sigh escaped Aurorafrost's lips. "Nothing really. Collecting memories. And you?"

She managed to remember that she was still Rustedpaws superior, and wondered what an apprentice like him was doing out next to the Abandoned Twoleg nest. Seeking adventure, probably. Aurorafrost remembered the days of her apprenticehood....
Wait. that was it.
She remembered it now.
As an apprentice, she had stumbled upon this exact site. The details were still blurry, but at least she remembered why it seemed so strickingly familiar. Something had happened here, something tramatizing. Ah well, she would have time to grasp this slipping thought later.

"Where is your mentor?"

Rustedpaw hestitaed with his answer, and was relived when she moved the topic. "I don't have a menor yet." he reminded the deputy. When he first became an apprentice, there wasn't enough warriors to let him get a mentor, not that anyone wanetd to mentor him anyway. The grey tom curled his tail tip back and forth. "Where's your apprentice?" he meowed crossly, though he was sure she didn't have one at the moment.
