Rogues

[Goldenstar]

Sakie sniffed disdainfully but otherwise said nothing as he walked quietly away. He had to make dirt, so he wanted to be alone, obviously.

[Autumnpool]

Crimson watched Sakie walk away. 'What a temper he has!' Crimson thought to himself.

Crimson gazed back at the beautiful she-cat as he waited for her to say something.

[Torrentstar]

"Why don't you leave him alone?" Whipping around defensively, Ember glared at Sakie, and her claws unsheathed on an instinct, from long ago cats who quarreled just as she and Sakie did. "What did Crimson do to you, furball?"

[Goldenstar]

Sakie smirked, curling his tail around his Big Black Butt as he did so - he did not realise that he was being unconsiously defencive. "I haven't done anything to the dork. And don't call me furball, fuzzface." he said scathingly. He didn't really mean to be that harsh...but ohhhhh...EMBER! He spat. She dowve him insane with rage. No,really.

[Autumnpool]

"Let's not get too haisty," Crimson replied queitly.

[Goldenstar]

Sakie was on his paws before he even realised how important it seemed to him to make a stand. "Why shouldn't I?!" he spat furiously, his tail flicking back and forth. "Ember drives me mad and she knows it. I don't want you to have to be dragged into our argument too!"

[Torrentstar]

"So leave him alone!" snarled Ember, eyes pools of liquid fire, like molten lava. "Watch who you're calling fuzzface, you stupid furball!"

Turning to stalk away, tail lashing, Ember then cast Crimson a look - pleadingly, almost wistful. Why did he remind her of someone? Rather than be immersed in sorrowful memories, Ember whipped around and then walked calmly over to Crimson, but her stiff-legged gait betrayed her feelings, and a fresh, dry breeze scoured the plains, bringing a whiff of crowfood and other cats towards them. A patrol!

"Sakie! There's an IceClan patrol nearby!" Ember darted towards the scent, almost like a giddy kit.

[Silverpelt]

"What are you doing?" Lightpelt meowed." Do you want them to see us?" she said ducking down on her hunches."Do you know any of them' she asked.

[Goldenstar]

Sakie darted over, glaring at Ember with ochre eys as he passed. "Hide!" he hissed into her ear.

[Torrentstar]

Ember yawned audaciously, obviously enjoying flouting his so-called 'authority'. "Why?" she mewed. "They know me."

She stood up and passed her tail over his face as she walked away, to sit square in the center of the clearing, in plain sight of both Clans.

[Autumnpool]

Crimson camly walked up to Ember. That look she gave him earlier, what was it for? He confidently in walked and sat next to Ember, in plain sight of the patrol. He gave her a loving look, admiring her confidence.

Crimson still didn't completely trust Sakie...

[Torrentstar]

"Hi Crimson. Do you want to hunt with me?" Ember could feel a warm tingling in her coat as she looked at him, feeling the mutual admiration that she'd always craved.

[Silverpelt]

Lightpelt whispered to Sakie."Oh look,young love" she said.Then she headed of in the opposite direction of Ember and Crimson and stared hunitng.

[Autumnpool]

"Sure!" Repleied Crimson, his eyes twinkling in the sunlight.

[Torrentstar]

"Why don't you shut up, mouse-brain?" hollered Ember to Lightpelt, as she turned and plunged into the familiar bracken, hoping Crimson was following.
