Still hanging around...(Open)

Crescent was laying on a semi-warm rock, the blackness of night surrounding her. She didn't know where that tom had went but she was still on the beach. Gentle snowflakes fell around her, and those that landed on her black and white pelt melted instantly. The rhytmic sound of the waves lapping in front of her, and seeming to get closer. As she drifted off to sleep three things were in her mind. One that the lapping of the waves were starting to be heard behind her and that she was on clamied territory. Then the odd world of sleep engulfed her.

Hollypaw bounded down to the beach, seeing that the tide was starting to come in, starting to swallow up the soft sand on the shoreline. She jumped from rock to rock, her muscles bunching and flexing smoothly underneath her furry exterior. Her eyes were on the water below, so she didn't see the lump of black-and-white fur on the rock ahead, and she jumped on the loner with a startled yelp.

OOC: Ok then here we go X_X

Mudpaw walked down the beach, and saw a shape lying on a rock, he dropped low and approached it. He saw what the thing on the rock was--- a cat. He scented the air, then his fur rose. "Who's there?" He called, ready for attack. He saw another cat jump onto the stranger, then heard a yelp. He ran forward, trying to identify who the cats were. Now he smelled two cats- one from his clan, and one unknown. He jumped onto a rock next to the one where he saw the cats then asked, "Who's there?" He saw that the cat with the scent that he knew was Hollypaw, but this other cat he had never seen.

Crescent leapt up fur bristling. She had gotten stepped on and now was being confronted by two strange cats. She shook her fur and looked between the strangers. They were both younger than her and smelled a bit like the tom from before. So there was more cats than just him. How many else were there? She tipped her head and her tail curved in a question mark shape. She looked beyond them to the land the spread around and wondered more and more.

OOC: Oh and she rambles a lot in her mind so bear with it

Hollypaw had nearly fallen off the rock, her fur bristling so that she was twice her size. "Who are you?"she hissed, narrowing her eyes menacingly.

"Well, who are you?" Mudpaw demanded, fur bristling. He saw that this cat looked as if she hadn't even heard him, "This is Fireclan Territory, leave at once."

How could Crescent answer to that? Her tail twitched as she observed the she-cats angry mood. She looked like she would attack at any moment. Maybe she should attack first, but they could have other cats. Then not to mention they knew the surrounding area better than Crescent. But then again every option had it's pros and cons. She quickly gazed up at the sky to stare at the falling flakes. FireClan territory, eh? So there could be more cats. Leave but where to? All the questions and possible answers racked around in her head.

Hollypaw growled, black fur bristling angrily. "Who are you and why are you here?"she demanded, unsheathing her claws. She hated loners and rogues....Mainly because her mother had fallen in love with one and then lied about it.

Crescent dipped her head to the other side. Well of course she knew who she was but what was she doing here? Maybe it was just the nature that kept her here. Or maybe she just had a whim to pop up and stay for a while. She could have answered that with a million answers. But really she just wandered around for a bit and stopped here and there in between.

OOC: Does Hollypaw have a mentor? XD I forgot... again.

OOC:Yeah, Thrushflame.

Hollypaw took a step closer to the she-cat, anger reflected in her movements. "If you aren't going to answer me I'll make you leave!"she snarled, crouching.

Crescent narrowed her eyes at the angry she-cat. You'd think that one of them would get that she was mute by now. Make her leave? The she-cat was being very pushy and impulsive. She didn't want to fight the cats, really she didn't like interatcing much at all. Still she braced herself for the likely battle.

Growling, Hollypaw stepped forwards again, bracing her muscles to leap. If this she-cat didn't leave right now, there'd be fur flying.

Crescent narrowed her eyes, looking down at the she-cat. Her fur fluffed up slightly with the stranger's advancement.

NO MY MUTE MUSE WAS MURDERED

Mudpaw stepped up, stopping Hollypaw from attacking. This cat was older than they, and they didn't know their story. "Wait, why don't you answer? Whats up?" Mudpaw relaxed his fur, but was still tense. "Why is this cat so quiet?"

Crescent internally sighed and relaxed as well. Finally one of them was getting it! But who to show them so they would realized fully. Maybe she should try to talk, but not only did that hurt but it sounded funny. Instead she moved her tail in front of her like she would silence another which would hopefully tell them she couldn't talk.

"Well? Can you talk or not?" Mudpaw realized how dumb of a question this was after it was said. For this cat to answer, of course, they'd have to talk. "Umm..." He looked over at Hollypaw, hoping the she-cat would know more about what to do than he would, but he saw a similar look on her face. "One moment, you." He looked over at the older cat, then stepped back a few steps, out of ears reach. He looked expectantly at Hollypaw, wanting her to come down, he was so confused about this whole deal.

Hollypaw still stood in her battle-ready stance. "Even if she can't talk, she shouldn't be in our territory!"she hissed.

"Of course she shouldn't, but what do we do, she's not aggressive, she's not helpless either, if we took her to the clan, with all of the loners and rogues joining lately, do you really think that Littlestar will approve? I mean three more just joined as I left!" Mudpaw lowered his voice, then asked, "Should I go and get a warrior? Even if we did chase them off, they could just come back, and who knows how strong this cat is."

Crescent sat down as she waited for the two cats to finish thier little chat. Her ears twitched as she answered the questions they weren't really hiding in her mind. Well yes, she probably shouldn't be here and yes she wasn't aggressive, unless of course someone made fun of her muteness. Take her back to the Clan? Hmm, they way they were talking there were more cats then just them. Would she come back here? Probably since she liked this beach area.

Hollypaw turned her firey green gaze to Crescent. "We don't need any more loners in FireClan. All they do is stuff their faces with our prey."she hissed, getting angrier by the minute.

OOC:Can you see that Holly doesn't like loners? At all?

"Don't attack, you might get your head bitten off, Watch them, I'm going to get a warrior, I have the feeling that we'll need one." Mudpaw looked at Hollypaw one last time, before shooting off into the trees, searching for a warrior.

Crescent sat there cool and collected unlike the she-cat. Her gaze flittered to the tom for a second as he dashed off talking about getting a warrior, which she really didn't know what that was. Then she stared the she-cat straight into the eyes, holding her fiery gaze with her calm one.

OOC: *sarcastic* You would have never guessed. . .

Hollypaw growled but stayed put, her tail lashing in anger.

Crescent stared blankly at the she-cat.

OOC: *Elevator music plays while waiting for the slow poke to return*
