How Could This Happen To Me {Open}

[♥Angel♥]

Crescentmoon woke up early. It was the middle of green-leaf and she wanted to head to the twoleg section of their territory. It was the best place to find catnip. as she headed out of camp she met with a couple warriors heading out on a hunting patrol. Smiling they decided to walk part way with her. Just about when they where to seperate she spotted a hawk land in the tree above. "If you guys could catch that bird it would feed the whole clan," she laughed softly than waved with her tail as she left. The warriors called out goodbye to her. As they separated she saw the hawk fly off just as one of the warriors lept into the tree. Bad luck, she thought. Soon she left the pine woods and entire the twoleg territory.

The tom easily splayed his paws upon each other side of the flower in the two leg garden. Though he knew that the other creatures all knew them as Humans, he liked to think of them as two legs, just because of the way they were, although he had never seen one, only legends to look upon from his ancestors, yet he was told it was a good thing. Obviously his curiosity would take over to want to meet one, but he had a clan to take care of, so his hobbies were saved for another time, for the odd out tom always knew what was right to do, even though he was strange, it brought a funny smile to everyone's face when it came to the orange tabby with bright red eyes, though, they were reassuring and always had like a reflection in them. Foxstar smiled as he tilted his head, his sparkling red eyes came to and from the golden flower. "Oh, how I wish I could speak to flowers, instead of pesky reptilians, even mutts are more intelligent then those things." He thought to himself, digging his claws through the dirt. "I wonder what they think about, food, the sun? Water?" When he felt the presence of another cat, none the less scenting them, he raised his head suddenly from the flower, realizing it was his medicine cat. The tom pranced over head high, but almost like a lady she-cat strutting for other toms. As he snaked over, he bumped his rear end into her's. "He Crescentmoon, what are you up to?" He asked, his eyes searching her over.

Foxstar had his reputation as a curious professor of a cat. He had grown up with the medicine cat, because he got hurt often exploring, or trying to make small talk with other canines, birds, and reptiles. Though he had learned alot, he hadn't really had a time to talk to the she-cat after the death of his family on accident. Foxstar's burnt ears was a mark of his mistake, and not many subjects saw him use his fire power any longer because he's afraid to. Though Foxstar is always looking for something new to find, to explore, and a new friend to talk to. He told stories to his clan, about the Varg and how the birds lived by their own code the same as cats did. He had even spoken to a wondering wolf dog, who had told him about their gods, and about how despite how they were different species, talking just made things just that more to communicate against. Foxstar loved it, and his innocence still there, though he knew what the world was like, others seem to think he's in the dark.

[♥Angel♥]

Crescentmoon had just reached the garden which held the catmint when the scent of Foxstar reached her. And only seconds later he bumped into her. She smiled softly she had always had a soft spot for Foxstar. For as long as she could remember he was always ending up in the medicine cats den. When she was a kit she would be in the medicine cats den learning new herbs when he would come in with burned ears, bite marks, you name it he had it. Softstep had allowed her to help her sometimes by fetching certain herbs or even applying the herbs. "Foxstar what are you doing over here?" Though could she really be that surprised he did like learning new things and plants where one of them.

"As for me I'm here to gather catmint. My supply is deadly low and I wanted to harvest and dry some out before leaf-fall. I didn't think about getting an escort since it's usually pretty quiet around here." Crescentmoon sat down and licked her paw drawing it over her ear a couple times.

The orange tom smiled as he looked up at the clear sky, a hawk to the side, was obviously looking for her, he had heard what the bird said, but even from talking to many types of birds, he knew that they were smart enough not to just target someone. Foxstar looked over at the gardens, he wasn't quiet sure what catnip looked like, but he was always glad to offer whatever help he could. "Really, I was just thinking how brilliant it would be to be able to talk to plants instead of reptiles, even canines are smarter then those warm blooded creatures." he shook his head and stuck out his tongue in disgust. Dogs weren't as bad, though some, thick as ever, they were still better company then a garter snake he had spoken to the other day. Foxstar used his language speaking often, it was fun and none the less, it made him a great cat, despite the accident with his family. Foxstar laughed though, jumping on top of a fence for a moment, watching as a sparrow passed by, chirping some sort of alarm to other birds that cats were around. That was why they saw them scatter across the sky randomly, some were scouts, because Sparrows were known as flocking birds, so as a lot of them had told them as a tiny kitten. Foxstar shook his head before looking at the medicine cat.

"What do catmint look like, is it those green looking things over there?" Foxstar asked, pointing his paw towards a patch of green leaves, with two stems it seemed. They had a minty scent coming from them, it had a minty scent to it, so he could have guessed, but after all, he wasn't a medicine cat, he tried to stick to his own job as a warrior. As he skipped across like a fox across the the fence, he jumped on the floor again, as he looked over at all the flowers, also a few butterflies flying through the air. Such beautiful creatures, how he longed to be connected to them more, which was why he enjoyed being out so much, with an add on of nine lives, he thought it would be fine for him to just go out. Though a good fighter, Foxstar never let the clan see his serious side or angry side, unless something was really wrong. In simple terms, you'd be able to tell if he was mad, or serious about something, it was a very distinct change at times.

[♥Angel♥]

Crescentmoon purred softly. Foxstar always made her laugh. If she wasn't a medicine cat she would of been tempted to become his mate. But she had made a vow, she would never have a mate or kits and that was all right with her. If she could make the choice all over again she would still become a medicine cat. "Really I don't think I would want to be able to talk to birds and lizards or any other species for that matter. I would be unable to eat them if I could understand them." Jumping up on the fence next to him. When he pointed to the plant she furred and brushed the tip of his ear with her tail. "Yep that's it can you help me carry some back?" Jumping down she walked up to the plants and began to gently strip the laves off and pile them together. Once she had a good sized pile she split it in half. "When you pick them up try not to bite down it or eat any of it. Each leaf is precious and could save lives." She didn't know why she was telling the leader that but she just wanted to make sure he knew. It would be at least three or four moons before the leaves grew back and she could harvest more.

The orange tabby smiled, happy that he was correct, as always he was. As he hoped over, he listened to the she-cat before giving her a slight nod. Every piece was precious, he must not bite on them, or ruin them. his red eyes sparkled as he crouched down, pulling his mouth over one as he clamped down to try and dig it out, instead as he pulled it out, he rolled backward and had it make him swallow it, he didn't even get to taste it. "Maybe it would have been a better idea to dig them up then carry them in your mouth" He thought to himself, getting up and shaking the dirt off of his beautiful pelt. He returned to the patch as if nothing had happened, and dug up a few with his claws, then picking them up gently within his mouth, the mint scent filling his nose, almost making it overwhelmingly hard not to drool. Foxstar moved his mouth a bit, trying to shift them to get into the right position. He smiled at Crescentmoon. "Is this enough?" Although he sounded quiet funny not only because of the herbs in his mouth but just because of the sound of his voice.

Geniuenly nature was the leaders best friend. Though having a connection with outside sources helped, he still cared for his clan deeply. In drastic measures, he did show his mature side, but it had almost seemed as if, he held himself back for the safety of others, because he was afraid of who, or what he might hurt."I'm sorry I swallowed one, I didn't mean it, and I suppose my stomach will be hurting after as well." he noted with a laugh, as he came to join her in her gatherings. He wanted to watch, to see how he could do it differently the next time he perhaps helped her or in case he needed to pull one up quickly for emergency.

[♥Angel♥]

Crescentmoon couldn't help but laugh softly as she watched the leader try to pick on up and rolled on his back. "Yes that is good I can get the rest. And don't worry about swallowing one. I heard a story once that kittypets used to eat this stuff on a daily basis. It isn't bad for you. But as it is a healing herb we must be careful not to let any cats eat it unless they have white or green cough." Grabbing two large leaves she put half of her pile in one and rolled in up and picked it up with her mouth. She than put the rest on the other leaf and used her chin and chest to pick the other bundle up after rolling it up. "This should be enough for a long time. Thank you for your help Foxstar." Her voice was mumbled by the bundles of herbs she carried.

The tom gave a smile, making others laugh, it was his job, and this she-cat was was all the same. The tom brought smiles, and lifted the weight of being an actual warrior off of a lot of cats, which was what he enjoyed about his life. Foxstar turned around and hoped off the fences into his territory in which was native. As he came to the camp entering the medicine cats den he set the herbs down. "Though, I'd love to stay and chat Cescentmoon, I have other duties to attend to, I wish you luck with your herb gathering." Foxtsar stated before bounding off.

Something about the tom just always put others on him. Though some cats didn't like it, Foxstar kept on rolling weather the opinions were negative or positive. The leader had his reputation as a kind and mysterious interested cat, where he enjoyed learning, and speaking to others besides cats.

[♥Angel♥]

Crescentmoon fallowed Foxstar all the way to camp. Once they reached her den she put her herbs in in the entrance. "That's ok no worry's Foxstar." She waved her tail than went about lying the leaves out to dry. Once she had all the leaves layered out she went to the back to see if there where any other herbs that where needed. She had plenty of catmint now thanks to Foxstar she didn't need to make two trips. But she still needed more herbs. Padding out of her den she padded up to one of the apprentices. "If I'm not back by sunset can you collect the herbs drying and stack them neatly with the rest of the herbs...... Thank you." Well now that she had that taken care of now she had to go collect Tansy. The best place to find them was also in the twoleg area. Padding over to the freshkill pile she grabbed a squirrel and ate it in swift bites before heading back out.

On her walk back to the twoleg place she looked up in the sky looking for the hawk and crow again. They seemed to of been friends almost like they had been talking to each other.It was odd considering most hawks and crows where enemies or so she heard. As she reached the twoleg place she still had no sign of the two birds and shrugged her shoulders. Just as she was about to leap an old fence she thought she heard paw steps behind her. Maybe Foxstar had come to help her again?

Shadows, his only friend, as the dark tom moved like a ghost between the houses. Almost seeming invisible, his scent masked by his surroundings. His shadows passed down the concrete walls, as for his amber eyes, they glowed i the sunlight reflecting off of them as he watched the two cats. Once the she-cat had returned alone, a smile spread across his face. Events, are what made his world go round, the actuality of torture, send thrill rushing through his symbiotic veins. As for the blood that ran across his face, fell, the pain was only half of the fun, by doing this, he was getting back at Kalen, but perhaps he could play with it a bit. The dark skin colors against the cat twitched, as he came forward. With ease, the snake like tom followed up behind her like a ghost, without a sound, hopefully not noticed until he spoke. "A young she-cat like you shouldn't be out here alone." He spoke as if he was friendly. though his eyes showing no compassion in them.

Thorn pressed his tail against the ground, as his paws softly planted on the ground. He didn't look all that threatening, if not for his natural malicious nature, nobody could notice unless having the Yusu ability. Thorn had a friendly look upon his face, as he looked measly to the sky, to each their own was what he could say. Giving a good fake smile, it was actually believable, maybe, he had done this too many times.

[♥Angel♥]

Crescentmoon was singing softly to herself as she padded along the twoleg area. She had nothing to fear this area was patrolled as much as any where else in their territory. And if their had been trouble Foxstar would have sniffed it out when they went through earlier. So she didn't even bother to look for danger. So when a cat spoke behind her she turned around. The voice wasn't recognizable. As she turned she spotted a cat she had never seen. Automatically fear raced through her spine. This cat was a rouge that much was clear. And she was a medicine cat she knew no fighting moves if he attacked she wouldn't stand a chance. But by the tone of his voice he meant no harm. Or so she hoped. "This is my clans territory I am free to go where I wish by myself. And normally there is no dangers for me to worry about my clan protects me well. And I'm not exactly defenseless." Now that was a lie she knew only a couple basic attacks the rest would be on complete instinct.

The dark colored tom gave a quick smile. For a moment he looked up and openeed his mouth but then came down again. Turning to her, and stepping in front. "Your right, I guess I'm the one not supposed to be here. Though, I'm not here to cause any trouble." He said, as he looked around, the sky was awfully blue, and he hated it. Digging his claws mildly in the dirt, before turning around and flicking his tail. "Well, I might as well pay my debt for being here, do you need help with something? I can do whatever. Of course unless, you don't want me near your camp being a clan cat yourself."He loved doing this, it was fun, and to get back at the stupid cat who annoyed him, what better way but to make his mate suffer by getting at his sister. No less, with his plan executing, if he had kits, he could hold it against them and take one, using his son or daughter as another mindless killer.

Thorn didn't look too threatening, despite having large size. His warmth radiating off his fur counted for the fact he was a fire user and he knew how to use it well. His burnt skin color, as if he had been born of a fire. If he had entered as maybe a crow or something native, he could have snuck up on her, but what was the fun behind that? Thorn gave another grin, waiting for the she-cats reply.

[♥Angel♥]

Crescentmoon laughed softly and shook her head. This cat wasn't to bad. He seamed pretty kind to her. "I appreciate the offer but I can handle it. Besides your a loner and I can't take you any where near the camp. In fact if I was a warrior I would have to chase you out of our territory. But since I'm not a warrior and I only know a couple of basic moves. I'm pretty sure you could kick my tail," she laughed softly. Crescentmoon looked over the tom, he wasn't bad looking. It was obvious he has been in many a fights. But his personality and his appearance didn't match. Maybe he was the one being attacked. Either way she suddenly had a bad feeling in her stomach but she continued smiling. She didn't want the cat to know that she was thinking of heading back to camp with out the herbs.

The tom wondered, things like this were all just too true. She didn't have much training did she, which meant she was an easy target for any cat. Thorn raised his head for a moment, opening his mouth for something but then shut it again. This acting was getting old, if he continued on too long, he would never get the chance to do what he wanted. Thorn stopped for a moment, he was still in front of her, flicking his tail a devious smile spread across his face finally all at once. His claws digging into the ground as he warmed up the dirt with the heat that was created from it. Eyes turning cold. "It's too bad, it would have been better for you to stay home" Thorn laughed evilly, deep in his throat. As a wall of fire erupted behind the she-cat, he wanted to make sure she was not going to escape. As he charged forward his claws aimed for her shoulders.

Once he got a hold of her, oh he had plans. No, he wouldn't kill her, he would almost kill her, he would force her to bear the kits of his blood, and meant him to have the right of one. He would leave it to the horror and suffering of the clan to find her. The taboo of a medicine cat being held, she would have to step down, and even more so leaving Shadowclan Medicine cat less for some time. Thorn thinking about it, just sent a thrill throughout his entire body.

[♥Angel♥]

Crescentmoon's empathy kicked in just than she could feel the hatred and pure evil coming from this clan. And she could tell he had plans for her. Her eyes widened as the ground began to heat up. He was a fire user this wasn't good. She saw his attack coming and she called the winds to her command. She ordered the winds to cut as his fur hoping pain would drive him away. When his claws sunk into her shoulders she yowled in fear. She wanted to get away. She didn't want to die not yet. She didn't have an apprentice yet her clan would be left helpless. "If you kill me my clan will come for revenge. They won't rest until your dead." She yowled as loud as possible hoping someone anyone would here her and come to help her.
