Spottednose padded slowly down the twoleg path. The twoleg scent was stale in the air as she walked on. The twolegs had trampled the path down flat so the ground felt more like a rock then dirt beneath her feet. The sun was warm and shone between the leaves of the trees. It felt good on her tortishell pelt as she padded across the trail towards a deeper part of the forest. She felt alone and board a feeling which she never had when her brother was still there.

Mudstorm, who just finished off a thrush with a swift bite to the neck, spotted Spottednose and walked over to say hi, "Hey Spottednose, you doing ok?" she burried her thrush incase she went for a walk. The sun warmed Mudstorm's pelt as she waited for an answer.

"Yeah I was just taking a walk, care to join me?" Spottednose asked. She felt a little lonely by herself and would rather talk to someone. She sat down to rest for a split second while she gave her tortoiseshell pelt a quick wash.

"Of course I'll come with you, I litteraly have time to spare!" Mudstorm smiled and followed the she-cat farther. "Is there anything bothering you that you would be comfortable sharing? If you don't mind me asking. I usually think that speaking what's on your own mind to someone helps clear it out, especially if there are memories that you just can't shake off" Mudstorm growled that last part, she didn't mean to but it just slipped out.

Spottednose shook her head. If her clan mate didn't know about Cane then she didn't want to tell her. She tried to act as normal as possible though she wasn't sure how well she was doing. "So what have you been doing lately?" She asked Mudstorm in her happy voice

"Hunting this and that," suddenly Mudstorm's scar started to hurt, Oh no.. she was thinking about him again, he was the one who dragged her almost dead body out of the lake, he was the one who saved her from that fate and he was the one she was looking for. "Um," Mudstorm started, "Can I ask you something?"

Spottednose nodded, "Ask me anything, I don't have any where to go or do." She padded along side Mudstorm at a very slow rate. She felt lazy today and so she decided to be lazy.

Mudstorm hesitated before she asked, "Has their ever been one cat that has left a mark on your life? And is that mark so deep that anytime something reminds you of that cat it feels like you're being ripped in two? Have you ever.." she choked before she could get the words out. Mudstorm stopped and stared at the ground as she said her last words, "Have you ever loved that cat?" she looked up at Spottednose, ancient grief clouded her eyes. She could tell.

It felt as if Mudstorm was describing the exact way Cane had treated Spottednose. The she-cat could feel like she could really relate to her clan mate. Until she got to the love part. "What kind of love?" She asked curiously. She sat with her eyes half closed and her tail swishing about her. "Do you mean love as in mate love? sibling love? parent love? friend love?" She had never thought about it but there were a lot of different kinds of love.

Mudstorm looked over at Spottednose gried flooded her voice, "It's a mix of sibling love; when you feel like you know that cat like a sibling, friend love; you know when you meet someone and you just love them for some strange reason." she gave a weak smile. "And mate love... When you know them for a period of time and you just can't stop feeling, needing, yearning for them. They are always on your mind, even if they left and everytime you think of them a hole in your chest rips open and you feel like your insides are bleeding." Mudstorm knew that she must sound like a total fool but she need to sort this out with some cat, she hoped that Spottednose had some kind of relation to this so she could help Mudstorm ort it out. "Even if you really didn't know them..." she whispered.

Spottednose had only ever felt a sibling love for her brother but she understood what Mudstorm ment by when she said "When you know them for a period of time and you just can't stop feeling, needing, yearning for them. They are always on your mind, even if they left and everytime you think of them a hole in your chest rips open and you feel like your insides are bleeding" Spottednose took a deep breath and nodded, "Yes he left a mark on me but I only loved him like a brother and he loved me like a sister." If he still does love me, she thought saddly about Cane and how there father always loved him more no matter what he or she did.

"Well you may not know this but when I was a newly made warrior I was walking through the forest and I tripped on a hole in the ground that I wasn't aware of and careened down a hill into the lake." Mudstorm began, her tail twitching with annoyance of the story. "As I hit the water the freezing shock hit me so hard that my body went totally limp and I started to sink. I was thinking right then and there that I was going to join Starclan, a lean silver and black striped figure was coming toward me and I thought it was a warrior from Starclan helping me find my way. But it wasn't.. I felt the cat hauling out of the lake onto dry land, he started licking my face to get me to come to. Oh his eyes were so kind! So gentle.. But something alerted the tom and he dashed away.. The only thing I remember was pelts under mine and his voice echoing in my head, "Stumble into the lake again and I'll be your shining star" he chuckled." Mudstorm ended feeling the hole lift itself out of her body.

Spottednose titled her head. The story was a very interesting one but also very confusing. "Did you ever find out who it was?" she asked curiously. She moved over a little out of the sunlight and into the shade. It felt much better on her pelt in the shade the it did sun after a while.

"Alas no, but I would really like to find out.." Mudstorm stayed in the sun and glared off at the distant shrubs and trees. "If you know anyone in Riverclan that knows of a tom with a silvery pelt with black stripes and spots, then I'll know that I can push him into the lake if I ever see him at a gathering if he's there," she gave a smirk and leaped on a near-by branch and started to climb, "Come on Spottednose! I used to climb as a kit, had a near death expearience but it always made me feel so alive! exuberant! and oh so feathery!" she felt like a kit again as she climbed higher and higher into the tree.

The young warrior laughed and ran after her clan mate. Mudstorm was so easy to talk to that she made a great friend. Spottednose ran after Mudstorm, her long tail lashing out behind her.
