Are you there? [Streak]

Streak

[/color][/font]
Streak sat there trying to think of how to cover himself up. He couldn't just come out and say it was her. She'd think he was crazy. He sat there quietly flicking his tail and kneading the ground with his paws. What to say what to say. He slowly opened his eyes again and looked at her, a slight sad look in his eyes.
"You probably don't know her. She used to live in the city with me. We were very good friends."[/color] he murmured. He haded lying to her but he couldn't let her know the truth. "Her name was Ebony."[/color]
With that he got back to working on his nest, gently moving around some of the moss so it made a small nest just his size. As he sat there working the moss with his paws the memories of the city came back to him.
Fear, isolation, friendless, runt, pathetic.
Streak flicked his ears with irritation and made the bad images leave his head. He couldn't get upset now. That was in his past. He had to live in the now. Speaking of now, didn't Ravenpaw need to be getting back to her clan?
"Hey, just wondering....do you need to be getting back home? I mean i don't want you to leave, but...i'm sure their worried."[/color] he stammered softly shuffling his paws and looking at her. That was the last thing he wanted....getting her into trouble.[/center]

I’m gonna pack my bags and never look back
Gonna run parallel to the railroad tracks
And make my get away
Put the pedal to the medal as the sun goes down
Leave everyone sleeping in their sleep town tonight
At the break of day, I’ll be a runaway

Ebony. What a beautiful name. But them Streak mentioned she was in the city. The place where some Two-legs were nice and their dens towered into the sky. Being so far away from her must be hard if he feels that way about her. The tom feel silent and Ravenpaw turned her attention back to the nest. Streak seemed to have it under control, all that was left was to get it to where he liked it. And he was handling that just fine. Ravenpaw allowed her mind to wander.

She was dreaming of being in the city. Of meeting Ebony and helping Streak express his feelings to her. Ravenpaw longed to have a cat like Ebony to love. But when she thought that, the image that stormed into her mind was that of quiet Jaypaw. Jaypaw... Then Streak spoke.

"huh? Home? Oh! Oh my goodness, Dad and Mum are probably worried! And Rainflight might have been looking for me. oh what am I going to do? I can't go back empty pawed!" The black she-cat paced back and forth creating a small cloud of dust at her feet. he eyes feel on some of the extra moss they had collected and she quickly grabbed it. "I hoff you don't minf. Just so they wfon't get on me about spendfing all this time out here and not bringing anythinf back." she mumbled through the moss before streaking out of the den.

Until next time.

Streak smiles slightly as Ravenpaw started to panic at getting home. Yeah, he was sure her family would be scared about her being out so late, but he didn't want her to go. He had finally made a friend. Not an ally.....a true friend. However, she grabbed her moss and darted out leaving in the sun's slowly fading light to watch his Ebony leave.

He couldn't believe that she actually believed him on that. I mean, had he really been lying so long that he could make it sound real? or was she that stupid? No, Ravenpaw wasn't stupid. That was for sure. She was different....like him. That's why he felt so relaxed around her. She was willing to break rules to help him survive. Maybe he would do the same for her one day.

The small tom smiled to himself and settled into his moss bed and laid his head down. Soon he was asleep with dreams of him and Ravenpaw going through his head. He would see her again, but he would be happy with just the dreams for now. Eventually he would tell her his feelings. But for now he would be okay keeping it to himself
