Daydreaming...

[streampaw]

Duskwing climbed to the highest of branches of the Sky Oak. A slight breeze ruffled his long, gray pelt and he lay bored in the tree. The thought of kits came to his mind, but there was no she-cat that he had his eyes on. He sighed deeply and lowered his head. "Maybe I'm just deputy because Fernstar felt sorry for a rankless tom like me..." Hopelessness soaked him like water. 'What if's popped into his head the longer he layed there. But the longer he layed, the more he longed to stay.

Mudstorm looked up at the Sky Oak, Duskwing, sitting near the topmost branches.
"Hey, Duskwing! Long time no see." Mudstorm smiled lopsidedly at her clanmate. The she-cat climbed the great tree with nimble legs, claws sinking into the bark; holding her in place. When Mudstorm got up she landed gracefully on a branch near the deputy.
Bright green eyes wide and cheery, she smiled crookedly.
"Gorgeous day today huh? Green everywhere..." The wind ruffled her fur, sending a sensational chill up her spine.
Mudstorm looked at Duskwing again,
"Something wrong..." she said carefully, putting on her guared mask.
"Anything you want to talk about?..." she trailed off, awaiting a responce. If he didn't want to talk then that was just fine, but raging curiosity knawed at her belly.

"Huh...? Oh, it's just you, Mudstorm..." He sat up straight, thinking that as deputy he should stay at attention and keep a firm stance. But his head sagged slightly lower than he would have prefered. "Yeah, it looks very nice..." When she asked if there was anything he wanted to talk about or anything wrong, he thought about whether to answer truthfully. He agreed to it in his mind, as no one seemed eager to speak to him. He sighed and began, "Well... Mudstorm, have you ever felt a strange longing for someone to be by your side just because you don't know? Have you ever thought that a rank like deputy was only given to me because Fernstar felt sorry for me? I don't know why, but I miss my... Well, my sister... And the rest of my family.... My parents have died and my sister is in Shadowclan... I just don't know anything anymore..." Duskwing didn't know why he even mentioned his family yo her, but there was something about Mudstorm that he liked, her personalitly? Or her limber features? He was glad that she was here, she made him feel better and more hopefull. He layed down again and watched the setting sun, quite a beautiful sight.

"I don't think that you were made deputy because Fernstar felt sorry for you." she said fiercely.
"If that was the case then she would not treat you how she treats you hmm? Would she not?"
Mudstorm sighed, she missed her brother, somewhere in Thunderclan territory, hiding like a traitor.
"I cheated myself, into thinking my brother would come back, I miss him a lot. Being a twin, you share a special kind of bond with your sibling."
She then thought carefully about his first question.
Mudstorm's eyes grew softer,
"Yes, I have." she said quietly. Staring out in the distance at the setting sun made her mind space out.
"I cheated myself, like I knew I would. I told myself that I was troubled, I know now that I'm no good.." she trailed off, sadness filling like water in her eyes.

[streampaw]

Duskwing found himself chuckling at her. "Mudstorm, you and I are a lot alike... We are both lost, without anyone to look to for advise... My sister, always was the smarter of the two of us... My sister and I were always very different, like dusk and dawn, but one couldn't be without the other, thus earning our names, Duskwing and Dawnwind. We weren't twins, but we shared a close bond..." Duskwing could tell that she was troubled and he stood up and moved closer to her, brushing up against her side. He listened to her carefully and when she said that she was no good, he had to disagree. "Mudstorm, if you were no good, I wouldn't be opening up to you like this. And besides, I feel the same because I tried and tried to get my sister to stay here, but she refused every time..." he said with a sigh. "You know what, Mudstorm? I think we share a special bond... The type of the lost... When two who have lost loved ones find that they can recover together..."

[kowala]

Mudstorm felt the warmth of another pelt, she looked at Duskwing beside her.
She smiled, she really need someone to cope and recover with.
"We do have a bond don't we.
"It would be nice, collecting my feelings without someone who doesn't understand interfiering. I could do that with you."
She stared out at the horizon, wondering what the other two toms were doing.
Storm... Father...
