A beautiful night in the camp

[✖|.Rain.|✖]

It was a beautiful cold night, stars we're shining brightly in the sky. A ginger she-cat sat down somewhere in the camp clearing. Her emerald eyes shone with desperation, making sure no one was around.Good, everyone is asleep! She thought, sitting up straight, curling her tail around her paws. She opened her mouth and began to sing softly to herself, the ginger she-cat was Acornpaw.

The young apprentice sang with a soft, quiet-like voice so no one could hear her sing. The cat really didn't like to sing around others, except for her litter mate, MountainPaw. Her ears we're twitching, listening to herself sing. Closing her eyes, head up, looking like she was singing to the sky.

Blossomflower crept out of her den. She had watched Acornpaw leave her den as she had been suspicious of the apprentice for quite a few moons now. She thought perhaps she would catch her in the act of talking with another clan cat, and she found herself becoming quite uptight. She, herself, had to be extra quiet in leaving the den; full of other cats [only warriors] who were currently sound asleep. Or at least, as far as Blossomflower could tell.

She paused as she exited the den and took a cautious look behind her. She thought she saw the glint in the inky darkness of another warrior's eyes, but perhaps she was just becoming paranoid; for no cat came after her. Shaking her head to make herself concentrate she hurried along, keeping to the shadows. If her memory served her correctly, she had seen her take a right past the nursery, then head upwards. Slowly she padded that chosen way. She began to here a soft sound, that was of a cats' meow. She stopped, puzzled before slowing her pace and becoming silenter. To her surpise, Acornpaw was sitting, eyes closed, singing. She nearly gasped aloud, then stopped herself. She would watch her for a while.

AcornPaw stopped singing once she heard a gasp, she looked around the camp, eyes wide with alert. Is someone watching me? Or am I just hearing things? She thought for a moment then shrugged it off. The apprentice closed her eyes once more, and continued to sing. Her whiskered twitched as she sang the song, tail lashed to the side. She could feel a cold breeze ruffle her fur, ears flattened against her head.

Blossomflower froze when Acornpaw stopped singing and sank back, further behind the bush. She relaxed as she heard her start up again. Thank StarClan she didn't come looking for me! She thought, then the apprentice's voice caught her up and she was swept away in the song. Her song reminded her of a past time; she could see the hills, alive with flowers, violet in color and covering the whole hill in a gentle wash of purple. She found her eyes were starting to close and she shook her head with a start, and as a result, shook the bush. She froze, not sure whether to stay put or run.

[ OOC: Sorry for the short post, I couldn't think of much.. x.x ]

AcornPaw was almost finished singing, her voice rang with a small hint of happy ness as the she-cat sang. Though, the cat became a bit nervous when she was about to end the song, lashing her tail side to side. Once she sang the last word, her tone became a small sqeauk or squeal. The apprentice always messed up on the ending, never getting it correct. The cat sighed, shaking her head.Don't worry! You did your best on the rest of the song, you just need to work hard on the ending! The ginger cat thought to herself as she rose to her paws.

{ Heh heh xD Its okay, also I'm sorry for the long wait. School has been keeping me busy >.<; }

Moonsilver woke with a start. His short,silver fur was soaked
with sweat. Disturbing flashes of his reoccurring nightmare came
back to him. He kept his eyes closed,afraid that the nightmare was real. Once the warrior took a few deep breaths though,
he had calmed down. Moonsilver's eyes flutter open. Moonsilver slowly crept up to the edge of the den and scans his surroundings. All the other warriors were asleep.

Moonsilver's pitch black eyes reflected the moonlight as he
looks out into the dark sky. Moonsilver's muscles finally relax
as he forgets for a moment, the horrid nightmare about his deceased sister's death. For a few moments, there was peace
in Moonsilver's mind. But it never lasts long.His ears twitch as Moonsilver hears a faint noise. He scolds himself
*'Your hearing things,Moonsilver. Your finally cracking'*

He closes his eyes for a moment then opens them again, the faint,sweet sound was gone. Moonsilver breathes a sigh of relief.
*'I guess not*
Moonsilver looks back out to the cold, clear night. It was very relaxing,with no other cats making noise. Just the way he liked it.
Though Moonsilver always longed for company, he just wished the company didn't talk as much as most of the cats in this clan.

[ OOC: You should of started a new thread for this, unless you were replying to the previous post, in which case; ignore this ^_^ ]

Blossomflower heard the approach of another cat; she presumed it was one of her clan, for they all seemed to have become late - night wanderers. She stayed still, hoping to glimse it before it saw her. Her heart sank with relief; it was just Moonsilver. Deep down, she had begun to suspect it was another cat from another clan.. or even worse; a rogue or loner. She thought about revealing her presence, but decided against it for the time being. She didn't want to disturb AcornPaw and her beautiful singing by giving them both away and also, she wasn't entirely certain yet that Moonsilver was heading this way. He didn't seem to be for he didn't get much closer. She was torn as to what to do; on one hand, really he was entitled to go out at night although it was unusual and on the other should she take the responsible deputy position and try to get him to have some sleep so he would be refreshed for the next hard day in RubyClan ?! She teetered on her paws, and as a result fell with a muffled thud into a bush. She shook herself off, giving a silent yet viscious hiss. How could she be so careless ? She scolded herself. She gingerly lifted her head up, amazingly no cat had stopped whatever they were doing. How could they not of heard me ? She wondered with great amazment.

[ just replying, ]

Moonsilver had been scanning his surroundings,as he was now sure he had heard something.
It was melodic and sweet. singing,maybe? All of a sudden,Moonsilver heard a Thud near the bushes.Through the dark night,Moonsilver spotted a cat like shape.Then as he looked more closely he found another further away.Mystified,Moonsilver took a few steps closer.
As he studied the cat that was closest,he realized it was Blossomflower.Moonsilver was surprised.Usually when he woke up he heard the melodic voice,but there were rarely any
cats out and about.Certainly not two.Three actually,If Moonsilver counted himself.

I really should get back to sleep. He thought.But something held him back.It might've been the beautiful sound coming from the cat furthest away,who he now realized was Acornpaw.But then again,Moonsilver was reluctant to go back to sleep,He didn't want to go through them nightmares again.Moonsilver usually found that when he was quite sleepy,and fell into a deep sleep,the nightmares wouldn't come.So Moonsilver decided to stay.It was quite pleasant actually.Listening to the sweet sounding voice,having company,though he wasn't even sure they realized he was there.Moonsilver hesitated,not sure whether to let himself be known...

Blossomflower padded up to Moonsilver. This was a difficult idea of hers, as she had to herself loud enough for Moonsilver to hear, yet soft enough so Acornpaw's signing wouldn't be disturbed. She felt bad enough for listening to her when she was obviously trying to practice unheard, though Blossomflower couldn't understand why; she had a beautiful voice.

'Hey,' she whispered as she approached Moonsilver with cautious pawsteps. 'Good, isn't she ?' She smiled faintly and gestered with her tail - tip to AcornPaw's singing. She sat down and curled her tail round her paws, then stared intently up at the sky. She thought she could feel the warrior's gaze on her, but she didn't move. I wish I could sing like that.. she found herself thinking, although she didn't really know why. It wasn't as if singing was going to help her lead her clan better in the distant future. She shook her head and freed herself of her tormenting thoughts; envy would get her nowhere, she realized.

Moonsilver heard soft footsteps coming up to him.He turned his head to see Blossomflower.Moonsilver tensed,but quickly relaxed again when she spoke,realizing she had been listening too.'Yeah.Very' He bows his head for a moment.Moonsilver glanced at Acornpaw.He sat down and let the melodic sound wash over him,it was quite calming.Moonsilver would like to stay there all night,but knew he couldn't.But for now,he was content to sit there listening
