White paws swiftly tapped the ground, as the slender tom raced toward the path. He didn't know what called him there, but he was dragged to the two-leg's road. When he arrived, he haulted quickly, taking in the scents around him. Faintly did the two-leg's scet linger in the air. Although, a new scent fludided Slithertalon's nose. Curious, as to see if it was a new herb, he veered away.
He blinked as he noticed that what he thought smelt like an herb, was actaully a cat. Confused, the medicine cat leaped onto the cat. He yowled in surprised to find that he had fallen into bundle of flowers. Aster flowers. This perturbed Slithertalon greatly. He had been certain that what he had saw was a cat. Not a bundle of flowers.
He tried to rip down stems, to free himself, but with no avail. He paused. Astercoat. The name whispered into his ears like wind. The white cat battled the surplus of flowers until he was finally free. Slithertalon concluded it was a sign from StarClan. But, what must it mean? The slender cat raced back to the camp, while lost in his thoughts.

[ooc;] did you know I act Slithertalon's apprentice?
[bic;] A small body raced towards Slithertalon's. It was a kitten. The small cat skidded to a stop beside the tom, then wheeled around and began to trot in pace beside him. After a few moments, the kitten caught her breath and looked up at Slithertalon with startlingly blue eyes. "Slithertalon..." she gasped, flicking her tail in greeting.
Topazpaw padded on, wondering why her mentor was out so late. But she was too ploite to ask, so simply padded on in silence. |

[ooc: suppose i should, shouldn't i? x] ]
bic: Slender, white tomcat's dash turned into a pance as he slowed for the younger cat. "Topazpaw," He countered, his stubby tail flicking, "I believe StarClan just showed me a sign," The small medicine cat quickly whispered to his apprentice. His fur pricked slightly, as he couldn't stand to just sit there, but he had to contain himself.

[ooc;] Yeah. n_n
[bic;] The small cat slowed her pace a little, looking up at her mentor with wide eyes. She pricked her ears in interest. A sign from StarClan! She shivered as she reflected upon a simple fact: the sign could be good, or it could be bad. She never knew until Slithertalon spoke of it. She often felt a little mift that her mentor was sent all the messages from StarClan, and never her, but she knew that this was for a good reason. If she recieved them, she would not know what to do. However, Slithertalon did. "Do you know what it means? What did you see?" the apprentice asked quietly, her voice serious. |

The white tomcat grinned slightly, and quickly told the events: "I had smelt a new scent, going to investigate, I noticed it was a white cat. Alarmed, I leap at the intruder, to find myself within a thicket of flowers. My eyes did not fool me; what I saw was a cat. It was a thicket of Aster flowers. And then I thought 'Astercoat'." He had been able to say the whole story on one breath. He took in another deep breath and then added "I have yet to know the meaning. But I have a few hunches."

Yellow eyes gazed at the two cats coming back to the camp with curioisty. A lean smoky tom watched the medicine cat and apprentice speak, voices hushed but excited. Straightening, the tom in the shadows watched the two, curling his ashen-tinged tail around his paws. An aura of excitement and secrecy whirled softly around the two. What were Slithertalon and Topazpaw doing out this late at night. The smoky tom's ears only caught a single word from the soft conversation.
Starclan.
Shadowpaw felt a shiver run down his spine.

Topazpaw nodded viogourously as her mentor described his vision. She looked perplexed. "I don't know what it could mean..." Before she could say anymore, her pelt prickled and a new scent filled her nostrils. She stiffened, then recognized the scent as Shadowpaw's. The aprentice flicked her tail to let her mentor know that they had company, if he had not already scented the other apprentice. |

Bicolored eyes flicked, as the medicine cat took in a deep sniff of the air. He hadn't thought about checking to make sure any cat's were around. Another one of his disadvantages. Yes, there was certainly someone here. Of ShadowClan of course; any other Clan cat wouldn't have the nerve to sneak on ShadowClan's territory. Slithertalon was able to quickly analyze the scent as Shadowpaw.
"And what brings you here, Shadowpaw?" Slithertalon spoke up, finished the sentence quickly, as usual. His head turned toward where he believe the scent had come from.

Topazpaw's bright eyes flickered to the patch of ground where the scent emitted from. She pawed at the ground nervously, hoping the other apprentice had not heard her and her mentor's discussion. Her and Shadowpaw were around the same age, and both apprentices, but Topazpaw felt completely seperate from him, because of the different routes that they were destined to pad. |

Shadowpaw pricked his ears up in alarm, fur fluffing up from embarrassment at being caught eavesdropping and shyness scorching his pelt from being directly addressed. Swallowing back a loud gasp, he rose from his sitting position and padded out of the shadows. The lanky smoke-pelted tom paused for a few steps before heading in their direction, mewing with thick embarrassment, "Erm, I-I was just sitting here when I heard you two. I was going out to for a hunt when you came along.
He trailed off, blinking at them. As he came nearer, a rock happened to sit mildly from underneath one of his paws. His eyes widened in shock when his long limbs suddenly swooped out from under him and he squeaked as he tumbled over, landing in a patch of dirt no more than a tail-length in front of Slithertalon and Topazpaw.

Topazpaw raised an eyebrow expressively at the other apprentice's comment, then purred with amusement when he slipped. She padded over to him, seizing his scruuff in her jaw and pulling him to his paws. She shook herself then eyed Shadowpaw with an amused air. "No damage, I hope?" |

Shadowpaw blinked and shook his head, then the rest of his pelt to rid himself of the dust on his smoky fur. A blush warmed the skin beneath his fur, heating him in embarrassment as he met Topazpaw's gaze. His yellow eyes gleamed with a sheepish embarrassment and he mumbled something before speaking up, "Ah...ah n-no I'm fine...just....clumsy..."
He laughed nervously, swaying on his gangly limbs before straightening. The young tom flicked his ears before pushing away his awkwardness and then spoke again, "So what are you two doing out here?"

Topazpaw lifted her chin to look Shadowpaw in the eye. "We were out looking for herbs," It wasn't entirely a lie; at least she had been looking for hervs. She did not mention Slithertalon's vision. It was not her place. The first cat who should know should be her clan leader... Not an apprentice. |

The white tomcat grinned slightly at Shadowpaw's uncertainty. His bicolored eyes watched as Topazpaw guided the other apprentice to his feet. The slender tomcat's ears twitched to the sides slightly. His claws dug into the ground, as his paws tingled, dieing for him to run. His neck fur started to stand up straight.
"Yes, collecting herbs," The medicine cat said very quickly, "And I must be on my way now," He got to his paws and turned around rapidly. He paused for a moment, then looked over he shoulder. "Topazpaw, feel free to help replenish my herb stock." and then he was off.

Shadowpaw blinked and glanced over at Slithertalon, ears perking up in surprise. He hoped he had not said anything to offend the medicine cat. However, glancing at the pale tom's shoulders and the way his steps almost seemed to jerk off the ground as if he were fighting the desire to flee, the smoky apprentice couldn't help but thinking he was hiding something. Roaming his eyes to Topazpaw, he saw the same tension along her spine and noted the anxiety behind her luminous eyes. He blinked, then mewed slowly, softly, cautiously, "Am I...er...missing something? What's wrong? The two of you look so tense."
