Here We Go Again (Open)

Finally, he was here. He was here to entwine his tail with hers. He was there to let her lean on. He was there to nuzzle, press her muzzle against his flank, but most of all... he was there to love. She would of done most of those things already, but there was something that stopped her. Two things, to be exact. One-- she doesn't eve know if he still feels the same, if... he even caref if she was really there, but something told her he did. The other thing was that there was other cats around, cats that could say that she was still here, or that he was breaking the warrior code by being... 'loveable' with a she-cat. She wanted to be alone with him, only him.

She whispered softly, her voice smooth, like rocks sliding over water, "Can.. can we talk alone..?" If the answer was no, she would drop down hints as to what she wwanted.

What did she want? She wanted Swiftbreeze, of course. She wanted nothing more than to run free with him, to come home and cuddle with her honey. To come home, and let the scents waft around in her scent glands, making her crazy and wanting more. But most of all... she wanted to come home to a real family, with kits... with a mate... A family who would love her, cherish her, make sure that she's safe, and knowing that she was the best mother of all, along with being one of the best mates of all.

Foxfire sat there for a minute, waiting for his response, knowing that she couldn't waste any more precious time. She was patient, though, so she waited... her blue eyes soft, breathing in his comforting scent. She would wait-- no matter how long it took. It could take a hundred years, and she would wait. She coudln't help but wonder-- is this what true love is?

Swiftbreeze

One day love will find you. Break those chains that bind you. One night will remind you, how we touched and went our seperate ways...

Swiftbreeze paused for a bit after the she-cat's question. He closed his eyes, taking a moment to take in his surroundings. Here he was, reunited with Foxstar once more. He was honestly beginning to think that he had lost her-as in, death. But now, here she was, talking to him. Of course, he had to be careful with his words until the two onlookers left... and, even then, it would be difficult to have an acctual conversation. Being so close to camp, the two would have to worry about his clanmates over hearing. Perhaps they could go deeper into the territory...?

"Er... Silvermist? Cinderpaw? Do you mind, ya' know... Going somewhere else...?" The tom froze, wondering if the two might think he was schemeing or something. "Silvermist, you wanted to help collect herbs, right? Why don't you go grab another apprentice or warrior and head out to the... grassy meadow and look for some. I'll catch up with you in a little bit." He desperately hoped that that would convince the two she-cats, leaving he and Foxstar alone. One could only hope. He turned his attention back to the fox-colored she-cat once more once he had waited a bit for the two cats to leave, or at least get out of earshot. His smile faded as his gaze burned into her pelt.

"Why did you come here...?" he murmered quietly. "The whole clan thinks you're either dead, or a traitor, or... or... Had I been someone else, I would have probably chased you so far off our territory before you could even say 'mouse dung'." Though his voice was somewhat harsh, he wasn't mad exactly. He was more of some mixture of that and happiness. He didn't know what to feel anymore. He loved her and hadn't seen her in so long... But she also disappeared with no trace when he probably needed her most. Was this how she felt when Moonsight return? Maybe. Maybe not. But she had come here looking for him, not Moonsight, so... What emotion shown through the most, however, was worry. What if someone else found her? They might not be as nice and understanding as the two she-cats who found her first...

The black and white cat asked, "Where were that whole time, Foxstar? It was almost as though you fell of the face of the Earth! I even went out there searching for you a few times in my spare time. Not that that's very much... In these rough times, I'm being forced to work my tail off." He stopped, eying the ginger and black she-cat up and down, his green eyes unusually calm. "But... What I want to know most... is why you didn't tell me. I wouldn't gone with you. I would've gone to edge of the world and back with you! I would still! Don't you understand that...?"

"We shouldn't be so close to the camp." he meowed, looking out farther into the territory. "It's not safe to talk where others can hear us. Here-follow me."

Medicine Cat of Windclan

If he ever hurts you, true love won't desert you. You know I still love you, though we touched and went our seperate ways...

The she-cat sighed softly, knowing that he was angry with her. Although, at the time, it seemed wise to not talk to anyone about how she felt. At the time, she thought it was wise to just leave everyone there. She couldn't hold the burden on her shoulders no longer, and she couldn't stand being in a clan watching the cat she loves... Watching him pretend to be a medicine cat, when he knew... he knew he loved her-- and that they would be together.

Her ears strained to listen to what he said, and she couldn't help but feel a little hurt. Her ears were even starting to flatten against her head. She only wanted one thing: him.

"Foxfire..." she murmured, "Starclan wiped my lives and renamed me to my warrior name: Foxfire..."

She sighed, and softly thought, But I'll always be your star...

The fox-like cat slowly got up on all fours, the mud still clinging to her fur. She wanted to get this muck off, but she can't until they left. Then they can share tongues, and she can tell him that she wanted himt o stay with her, forever. For good. Away from the life of WindClan, the clans, battles... blood, death... They could have a family.

She shook her head, "Okay..."

Foxfire let her paws follow him, her blue eyes staring at his wonderful pelt. She felt so happy with him-- but right now she didn't know if that was true. She could sense how angry he was, how upset... and he wouldn't understand the pain she felt when she was leader. Some of it, yes, he would, but... not everything. It was so hard to understand.

When she was leader-- it was like everything was being ripped away from her. Clawed. The warriors that died, the sicknesses, the kits that soon perished... she had to escape. It hurt her to see her warriors die out... be in pain... because she understood what pain was, and to see others hold it, to bare it... that hurt her mroe than a lot of things.

She closed her eyes, bowing her head. She used her nose to follow him now, scenting her way around everything. Even if it rained-- she would still be able to smell his scent. Heck... when she was alone, she still could. It was still in he rnose, in her mind... his eyes, his fur.. his face...

She softly whispered, which was most likely barely hearable, "I love you..."
