Shadowpaw looked at the strange piece of prey. It smelled pretty good, but she wasn't quite sure what it was. Maybe she'd have a chance to get a closer look at it later. She turned her attention to the Clan, watching to see their reaction.
Left off here.
(Bump?)
sorry I wasn't on again! something even more serious happened- 2021 must really hate me lmao ))
Bandit licked his lips and nudged Shadowpaw a bit more harder than he intended, "thats the good stuff!" he mewed. Adderpaw felt Shadowpaw being pushed into him, almost toppling him over. He looked over at Bandit. The tom was chuckling, sloppily apologizing to Shadowpaw about pushing her. Adderpaw watched through narrowed, slightly jealous, amber eyes. The fur on his spine bristled, he hated- no.. DESPISED this tom with his whole being! If he keeps this up, i'll claw his ears off. And I mean it this time! he thought angrily.
(What happened Springy?)
Shadowpaw rolled her eyes and shifted away from Bandit, wishing she could be anywhere else. She glanced at Adderpaw, noting the way he was glaring at the black and white tom. Is he jealous? She glanced between the two toms for a moment, then stepped closer to Adderpaw. "Can I talk to you?" She muttered, flicking her tail, "Alone?" She added, shooting a pointed look at Bandit, who seemed to be listening intently to what she was saying.
(What happened Springy?)
the 2nd floor of my house caught on fire bc of a cooking accident my aunt had with hot oil. i'm living in Hilton Hotel for about 6 months to possibly a year. things are going insane here. ))

She added, shooting a pointed look at Bandit, who seemed to be listening intently to what she was saying.
Adderpaw looked over at Shadowpaw, a wave of calm washed over him. It was nice to hear her voice after listening to the pure nonsense and weak flirts Bandit had been spewing. Adderpaw nodded, "of course." he shot a glare at Bandit too. The rusty ginger tom rolled his eyes, clearing annoyed, and whirled around and walked away towards a scrawny white tom with green eyes. Adderpaw took a quick glance at the white tom, he seemed to be around Bandit's age. Adderpaw and Shadowpaw walked towards a secluded corner of camp, hidden in the shade near the medicine cats den. "whats up?" he mewed, his ear twitching nervously. From the corner of his eyes he noticed Chill and Shadowstar still chatting, there faces seemed serious but what for?
(Sorry that happened to you. Hope it gets better!)
"It's just…are you…" Shadowpaw hesitated, feeling a bit awkward, "Are you jealous of Bandit?" She asked, "N-not that- N-not that I'm saying you are. I just mean- Is-" She sighed and looked down at her paws for a moment, before meeting Adderpaw's gaze. "I noticed the way you were looking at him. I just wanted to make sure everything's okay." Great StarClan, I feel so stupid right now!
Adderpaw blinked down at Shadowpaw, his amber eyes softening a bit. "I will admit, he makes me a bit jealous." he looked away shyly, his ears lowering and nose becoming warm. "It makes me jealous. The way he looks at you, the way he flirts.. though really badly, and just the way you sit through it!" he growled quietly. "but it also makes me worry. I told you how I feel and now this random tom strolls into our lives and starts flirting with you!" he looked back at the night-black molly, "and everything's fine. don't worry." he curled his tail around Shadowpaw's and intertwined their tails, giving a kind smile.
(Sorry that happened to you. Hope it gets better!)
thanks Dragon :)) and me too. the hotels kinda boring and being in the middle of a pandemic doesn't help either… ))

"I wish I could just pretend that there wasn't anything to worry about." Shadowpaw replied, "I always feel like there's something that could go wrong if I'm not paying attention. I-I can't ever relax, I've got to keep my guard up, a-and my eyes open, and-" She broke off, looking away from Adderpaw's gaze. "Sorry, you…didn't need to hear that."
(I'm not even sure what I just did to my poor baby….)
(Bump?)
(Bump again)
(Herro?)
"I wish I could just pretend that there wasn't anything to worry about." Shadowpaw replied, "I always feel like there's something that could go wrong if I'm not paying attention. I-I can't ever relax, I've got to keep my guard up, a-and my eyes open, and-" She broke off, looking away from Adderpaw's gaze. "Sorry, you…didn't need to hear that."
Adderpaw blinked at her synthetically. A wave of sorrow washed over him and he sighed softly as he bent down and nuzzled her cheek, managing to pull her a bit closer to him. Sure, he'll admit, what he just did was a bit of a bold move but he didn't practice cuddling with a piece of moss for almost a moon straight for nothing! He didn't know how to comfort at all, it wasn't his strong suit, but he did knew that he needed to try. Even if he used no words.
eh. I could've done this way better but this is the best im gonna get with my brother pestering me to give him his chrome back lol ))
(Lol, he actually cuddled with a piece of moss? That is so cute!)
Shadowpaw closed her eyes and sighed, leaning into Adderpaw's warmth. It felt nice to talk about her fears. She hadn't even told Hollypaw about it, and she told him everything. She felt like she could talk to Adderpaw about anything, and she'd only really known him for, what, a day? She buried her muzzle in his fur, purring in content.
(Lol, he actually cuddled with a piece of moss? That is so cute!)
he absolutely did that XD. ))

Adderpaw felt his heart skip a beat and a smile grow wide on his muzzle. he probably looked really, really stupid but he could not help it. his tail tip wagged back and forth and he suddenly felt like the whole clan was watching with judging eyes and he suddenly froze, turning his head slightly to peer around to see if anyone was looking at him and lo and behold, Bandit was glaring at him through the crowd of BloodClan cats, his friend beside him, the white tom with green eyes, also glaring at him. Both of the BloodClan toms seemed to have some ill intent hidden in their dirty looks… that thought alone made it feel like ants were crawling through his fur and he shivered slightly.
Shadowpaw pulled back and looked up at Adderpaw. "What's wrong?" She turned in the direction he was looking. "Oh…" Her pelt bristled as Bandit shifted his gaze, looking straight at her. "Uh, Adderpaw…I don't like the way he's looking at me…" She said, a note of fear creeping into her voice as she shifted closer to his side.
"me neither.." he whispered. After a few more seconds of Bandit staring, he looked away and meowed something they couldn't hear to the white tom beside him. "hes making me uneasy and I do not like it. At all…" a growl rumbled in his throat at the last few words and suddenly fear was replaced by pure frustration. "if he keeps it up, i'll go right over there and claw his muzzle off." he snarled, his tail lashing as he death glared at the rusty ginger tom. Bandit looked over his shoulder and returned the glare, this time lifting one of his paws up and dragging it across his throat and then looked away as if the interaction had never happened. The fur along Adderpaw's spine bristled and his ears pulled back in a defensive manner.
Shadowpaw's eyes widened at Bandit's gesture. She turned to Adderpaw, her eyes glittering with fear. "Stay away from him, okay? I don't want you to get hurt." She buried her muzzle in his fur again, twining her tail with his. "Just…promise me you'll be careful. Please?"
Bandit really said "haha. No. ❤" and looked away ))
Adderpaw smiled, nuzzling the top of her head. "of course." he mewed, "and you don't have to tell me twice."
sorry its short lmao- i don't have much time. ))
(And now, for a sappy cat moment.)
Shadowpaw smiled back at Adderpaw, burying her muzzle back in his fur. Sitting with Adderpaw, she felt safe. Like as long as he was right there beside her, nothing bad could happen. I don't know what's going on between Adderpaw and I, but…I think I like it.
SHADOWPAW IS SO CUTE. OMG I LOVE HER ))
Adderpaw purred, snuggling closer to the small she-cat. After a few moment, Shadowstar's booming yowl was heard from the top of Shade Rock. "All cats old enough to lurk in the shadows, gather around the Shade Rock for a clan meeting!" most of the cats where are already out in the clear, staying clear of the massive crowd of crow-food smelling rouges. He noticed his mother, Ravenshade and Brokenpaw, his scatter-brained sister, sitting in the medicine cat clearing. Rainstripe peaked his golden brown head out of the medicine cat den, in his golden muzzle held tangy smelling, dumb leaves. Swampfoot and Frogleap, two toms whom where mates, lifted their heads from a thick feathered crow that they were sharing to looked up at their leader. Skunkstripe, a cat which Adderpaw despise with a passion, peaked her head out from the warrior den, flicking her chewed ear as she mewed something into the den and walked out to sit beside her littermates, Sagestem and Smokespeckle. Palepatch emerged from the elders den, rolling out a wad of dirtied bedding and dropping it off by Dirt-place and rushing over towards Leafstalker and Timberstrike, settling down beside the speckled brown-and-cream molly. Shadowstar flicked his tail before speaking again. "When the moon is at it's highest peak, that is when we shall leave, and when we shall take BloodClan with us." A few ShadowClan warriors openly voice their options in growls but Shadowstar silenced them all with a lash of his tail.
Adderpaw looked over at the group of BloodClan cats, Bandit was looking straight at him. Adderpaw fought the urge to look away, he would stand his ground! Adderpaw lifted his chin from off Shadowpaw head and returned Bandit's glare with a scowl.
SHADOWPAW IS SO CUTE. OMG I LOVE HER ))
(I know right? My precious baby!!! <3)
Shadowpaw looked up at the sound of Shadowstar's voice, pricking her ears and listening intently. She glanced up at the sky, her pelt prickling with excitement as she realized it was already getting dark. She felt a bit anxious as well, but Adderpaw's presence by her side was enough to give her a bit of confidence. She could handle this.
Quest wasn't overly excited for the ball, he knew that a few of the other BloodClan cats, most likely Bandit, would do something to ruin it for the whole clan and they'd never get invited again. He just wanted to have a good time and meet some new cats, make some friends. He hated that BloodClan had a 'reputation' and the others weren't doing anything to change it.
Quest looked over at Bandit, and followed his gaze to the two ShadowClan apprentices. Oh how he wished he could go over to Bandit and claw some sense into him, but Bandit would probably rip his ears off and Quest liked his ears where they were.
(how old is Bandit?)
(I don't know, but I love Quest! He's really cool, and I adore his tiny top hat! <3)
