Brambles (HoT)

Iceheart stops to rest from her journey. She hears the mating call of a tom and becomes very curios. She wanders if this tom has a mate or not. She slowly approaches noticing the smell of other cats.

"He-hello," She stutters, "I'm IceHeart and I am in search of a clowder to join."
She stares at the beautiful tom. Suddenly a look of disappointment appears on her face noticing a kit standing behind the tom. She sighs.

"Oh I'm sorry I didn't realize that you had kits to look after," She says slightly disappointed "To be honest I heard your mating call and became very curios. I didn't come just because of your call I also wanted a place to stay. I am willing to pitch and hunt ." She slowly backs away embarrassed as she noticed she had been staring at his beautiful eyes and thick charming coat.

Kuganon was surprised at her straightforwardness. A clowder... yea it was a clowder that he need. He looked at the female will wondrous eyes and laughed heartily," I never thought of that... simply amazing." He noticed that he was staring at his kit and immediately warmed up to her," No just the one. He was lost so I took him in... I thought I was saving him but in fact he was saving me." He smiled at him and then he realized what must have thought. He thought about it, a heartless tom with a girl somewhere hiding. "I am totally single be the way." He said and immediate put his foot in his mouth. Kuganon was good at most things but talking to females were something he never excel in, which is why he has not kits of his own.

He immediately changed the subject," A hunt? sure... what is a pitch?

"Oh, I see I am glad to hear you rescued the kit, I mean it rescued you." Sadness suddenly crosses her face reminded of how her parents left her. She quickly fakes a smile. "Sure lets hunt, I would be happy to help you start a clowder."

"So, if you don't mind me asking, why did you choose this area for your territory?" Soon she sees something and begins to hunt.

As Iceheart is sniffing out the creature she stops in her tracks. "I'm sorry I got caught up in hunting and I am used to being on unclaimed land, is it okay if I catch this creature?"    

Kuganon smiled, he hadn't really thought about it. He never thought he would be ever in possession to gain territory. But his thoughts soon turned insatiable. His lust for dominion was boiling all of his body. The Rose and Ivy clans would fall to his everlasting might. If need be he would rage war against them both. His mind settled from his moment of grandeur. He would be satisfied with Wolf had a place to call home, a people to call family. "Yea, let's do it. Let's start a clowder."

A rabbit ran past them and its movement were swift and precise. Mid plot the rabbit moved past him. Lost in thought he answered sure. He would catch up. He began to think, a home is like a house.... families live in houses... A house of what? He was military inclined and Wolf would be a unwanted addition. It occurred his perspective female was getting away. So he followed her, in hopes of mating.

She smiled excitedly thinking about finally having a home.
"Yeah okay lets start a clowder!" She answered. She soon began to think of her everlasting wish to have a family an safe place to stay. Soon she realized this might be her chance to prove herself as a warrior. She took a deep breath.
"Lets go find people to join our clowder! I uhm mean your clowder!" She said excitedly then quickly realized she was speaking to loud as she watched the rabbit hop quickly away.
She sighed "I am so sorry."

Such a strange one, he thought. Her thoughts were everywhere and no where at one time. He was pleased to hear that she was with though. Perhaps so thought of him as a male worthy of mating with, he chuckled to himself about this thought. He smiled pleasantly at the female trying his hardest not to ooze hormones. He thought to himself," Once I make you queen then it will be our clowder."

The rabbit edged far away. He would want until she got back before tried any funny business.

IceHeart wondered what was going on in the tom's head. He seamed so serious, she wasn't used to being serious. She noticed he knew her name but she did not know his.

"So what's your name?" She asked trying to start a conversation. Her focus soon left the tom as her eyes wandered over to Wolf. How she wished she would've had a family when she was his age. She sighed admiring the kittens playfulness.

She suddenly remembered about talking to the tom. IceHeart was so curios how such a strong looking tom ended up alone with a kit instead of in a clan. After thinking about it he decided it was best not to ask so many personal questions.

(Written from the beginning of thread to now)

Wolf pushed himself awake, shaking away sleep. The sun beat down on his back as he moved away from the shade. "Good morning," he muttered to Kuga before getting distracted by a butterfly. He pounded on it, tail waving in the air. "Look Kuga! I caught a bug!" he yelped excitedly. He flinched when Kuga patted him on the head and leaped back. "Stop treating me like a kit!" he cried. "I'm big now!" Wolf puffed out his chest to appear even bigger than before. Wolf froze when a she-cat entered the clearing. He cocked his head to the side interested. He opened his mouth to ask who the she-cat was but the she-cat went on talking and cutting Wolf off. Wolf felt annoyed and instant distaste at the she-cat.

Before Wolf could say anything mean to the she-cat she moved off to hunt with Kuga following her. When they were out of sight Wolf allowed his fur to bristle in anger. He certainly didn't like her. She seemed too talkative. Wolf growled to himself. With a deep breath, Wolf choked down his feeling and decided to distract himself with play. By the time the two cats returned, Wolf was rolling on his back play with a flower stem, the flower still on. Wolf rolled back onto his paws when the cats reentered the clearing. "So ow was your hunt?" Wolf asked, pushing down his true feelings but avoiding the she-cat's gaze.

He looked down at the little angry kit. He smiled at the two profusely and then laughed. He thought about the his family, he would soon mass and grand one that would be the envy of all. He looked on to the kill, it wasn't what they intended,but it was good enough to feed all of them. He looked at the two of them," Eat up. guys.... wolf I think it would be best if we moved for this place." He looked at the girl cat," You are welcome to come with us."

Wolf continued to glare at the she-cat even while bending over to take a bite out of the fresh-kill. He bit back a growl and fought his fur to lie still on his back. He was fine with moving, he did want to move with her. He averted his gaze from Kuga and the she-cat to continue eating. "That is fine with me," he grumbled, lying through his teeth.
