Blackpaw hauled himself up, self consciously licking at his chest. He had woken up much earlier than he was used to, but he was ok with that. He didn't much care for the company of the other cats, he always felt like they had judged him. Not all of them did, of course, some did seem to be nice. As some of the Daywalkers began laying down to sleep, he found himself squeezing out of the den to get away from everyone else. He never got much time to be alone, away from some of the judging stares that other cats had given him. Even his own sibling looked at him that way. He didn't know why he couldn't just have a normal relationship with them. He could see the moon now, lighting up the ground around his paws as he stepped forward. Blackpaw felt comfortable for once, just being able to be himself. He didn't have to pretend to be something he wasn't. jinxySorry it's not very long, still trying to get back into the swing of this type of personality!

Scorpionpaw blinked his eyes open as the moon slowly climbed the night sky, full of stars. He yawned, stretched. It was his time to roam, now that the sun had gone down. He shook out his smoke grey fur of any sand that had gotten tangled into it and stepped outside. The sky was beautiful, full of stars. He always preferred Night over Day, despite being a Nightwalker. This was his time to be active while the Daywalkers went into there nest to sleep. He looked up at the sky again, frowning. Was he watching him from up there? 'Please give me a sign your up there watching me' he silently begged the stars. Nothing, the sky seemed cold. He was so caught up in his own thoughts he didn't notice the small little black tom, and he tripped, face planting in the cool sand. He lifted his head and sputtered, spitting and shaking off sand before turning burning eyes to the little tom. "Hey watch it" he snapped, embarrassment making his fur spike up and his tail swish. Then he noticed the white spots on the males chest and lip. Realizing he was starring he shook his head, and tore his gaze from the white spots to the males eyes. He wasn't as angry anymore, and instead had a weird mix of emotions he didn't understand. He still tried to hold his angry face as he waited for the tom to respond. Tags: Fen,

Blackpaw felt someone bump into him, immediately feeling anger bubbling in his chest. They're going to torment me for my whole life, there is no end. Blackpaw watched as the tom spit out sand, and also watched as the tom sported his own angry expression. "Hey watch it" Blackpaw couldn't believe the audacity. "You watch it! You ran into me!" Blackpaw scoffed, and then quietly searched the other toms eyes. He could tell he was trying not to stare at his white spots, he seemed to be trying to look anywhere but there. "What? I'm not cursed or anything, geeze." He tore his gaze away from the tom, planting one of his paws in the sand. He never did like the way sand felt, no matter how used to it he was. "Or are you scared I'm gonna hurt you? Is that what this is? I'm tired of it." Blackpaw teased, searching to see if the other tom had white spots. "Well you're bigger than I am, I think you can handle yourself."

" You watch it! You ran into me!" Scorpion blinked angrily at the tom. "I- you where in the way!" he practically screeched, his voice getting higher and higher. His tail now looked like a little black fluffy cactus. "What? I'm not cursed or anything, geeze." Scorpion ears flattened again his head to the point where he didn't look like he had any at all. "I never said that! Its just- your eyes are drawn to them ok, I don't think your cursed" he spat, his mind immediately going to his big brother. He was sure this tom didn't do anything wrong. "Or are you scared I'm gonna hurt you? Is that what this is?" Scorpionpaw grit his teeth. "No" he said, his eyes narrowing. "I already explained myself, I don't need to do it again" he meowed. When he noticed the tom search his fur he shrunk in on himself, blocking the toms view. He didn't like eyes searching his fur, he was terrified he'd end up just like him, suddenly covered in white and exiled. "Stop it!" he squawked. "Well you're bigger than I am, I think you can handle yourself." Scorpion rolled his eyes, huffing. Tags: Fen,

"I don't think you're cursed" Blackpaw smirked. He wasn't much like the other cats, he could tell that the tom had no bad intentions. He stopped looking at the other toms pelt when he told him to, though it was still funny to him. He didn't know why he was so scared, obviously he had no white spots. "Okay, drama queen." Blackpaw chuckled, taking his paw out of the sand. "Besides, you seem like a nice cat. I can tell you're not like the others. Anyone else would have either walked away, or been meaner. You don't have a mean bone in your body, do you?" The tom laughed, giving the other a friendly headbutt. "Just like my terrible mother says," Blackpaw started, "It's not even the mean cats that bother me. It's the mean ones that disguise theirselves as nice ones." Blackpaw scoffed at his own words. "What a load of dirt that is, anyway. I'd rather everyone just be nice in the first place, instead everyone wants to play pretend."

"Okay, drama queen." Scorpion let out another squawk. " I'm not a drama queen!" he shrilled, his fur fluffing up. He looked like an angry chicken. The toms chuckle made his fur hot, but he stopped screaming, going back to just angrily glaring at him, or well trying to that is. "Besides, you seem like a nice cat. I can tell you're not like the others. Anyone else would have either walked away, or been meaner. You don't have a mean bone in your body, do you?" Scorpion snorted. "I- I could be mean, I am mean! I just....like you is all. I find you interesting" he meowed. This tom really was interesting though, and Scorpion felt drawn to him like a moth to light. When the tom headbutted him a small ghost of a smile crept onto his face. His anger slowly dying away. "Just like my terrible mother says," Scorpion ears twitched at the mention of his mother. "Hmm, my mom doesn't talk to me at all, so I have no idea what she says" he said with a little smirk. He'd cut off all communications with her after the...event. "It's not even the mean cats that bother me. It's the mean ones that disguise their selves as nice ones." Scorpion nodded. "Passive aggressive, or those who disguise insults as compliments" he said with a small snarl. He had gotten lots in the past and they where annoying as hell. "What a load of dirt that is, anyway. I'd rather everyone just be nice in the first place, instead everyone wants to play pretend." Scorpion nodded. " If everyone could stop looking at each others fur and more at who they really are I feel we'd all get along more and be happier" Scorpion muttered. "So...you get discriminated for your two little white spots?" Scorpion suddenly asked, Flicking his tail to his chest one. Tags: Fen,

"If everyone could stop looking at each others fur and more at who they really are I feel we'd all get along more and be happier" Blackpaw licked his chest spot, now leaning against his new friend. He had never really talked about it out loud with someone before, it was always unspoken that he was different, he still didn't understand why he had to be. "If only more cats would understand that. I don't think I could forgive anyone, though. I wouldn't expect anyone to." Blackpaw felt a tail on his chest, and then heard the other apprentice start speaking. "So...you get discriminated for your two little white spots?" Blackpaw nodded, sighing deeply. "Even my parents. They treat my sibling like they're the best thing that's ever happened to them. I never did anything wrong. I just existed." The little tom could feel the cold wind now, it was tough against his pelt, but he was growing used to it. "Could you imagine if my pelt was fully white? I wouldn't be here talking to you right now. Who knows what would have happened to me." He whispered, kicking sand in front of him, watching the wind blow it in the same direction. Blackpaw looked at the moon, now shining bright as ever in the sky, along with stars as far as the eye could see. "Do you ever sometimes just look at the sky and wonder what the gods think of what they're doing? They're not happy, and I can feel that, even though my feelings are meaningless."
