The Steps We Take

I padded into the clearing. ''I'm so hungry! ''I sighed. I heard rustling in the bushes. I crouched waiting to attack. A cat popped out looking around. ''A clan cat! ''I crouched in the low grass. The cat seemed to be with two more cats. The one in front was a black tom. He was padding closer to me and I backed up, "Go left, SnowSky." He meowed to the pure white she-cat. SnowSky nodded and bounded away. The black tom continued, "PuddleFoot, you go right." He meowed to a dusty brown tom with fluffy black feet that looked really muddy. The tom bounded up to me, "Hey rogue!" ''Mouse-dung! He spotted me! ''I stood up, "Hello," I meowed, "Clan cat!" I spat. He hissed, "Who are you?" He asked, impatiently. "Who are you?" I repeated his question, "I'm NightWhisker, you are?" He asked me, more politely this time. "I'm Thrush." I looked away and snorted. He started to smile, I looked confused. He put his muzzle near my ear and whispered, "you're very pretty for a rogue," And he padded away, towards his clanmates. ''Did he just call me? What?!? ''

A padded back to the same spot the very next day to see NightWhisker already there. "Your still here?" I asked, but in a teasingly way. He purred, "I wanted to see you again, Thrush." I started to turn pink, "Heh," I meowed, nervously. "What about your clanmates?" I asked. NightWhisker looked back, "They didn't notice me slip out of camp." I nodded, "You sure?" I asked. NightWhisker smiled, "Yep!" I looked at NightWhisker, his eyes were focused in the direction where his camp was. "Is something wrong?" I asked. NightWhisker faked yawned, ignoring the question. "It's getting late." He meowed, "I'll see you tomorrow?" He asked. I nodded. He licked my ear, I smiled. "Goodbye NightWhisker!" I smiled and skipped back to my burrow. ''I'm in love! ''
