At long last (o to one a Tom maybe?)

[Cinderfall]

Cinder paw the Newley made apprentice. She opened her bright green eyes to Dawn light filtering the the new den. She wanted to meet some new apprentices. Im finally an apprentice! I thought I was going to be apprentice aged and still in the Nursery. she thought. "Hello?" she called.

Duckkit heard rustling in a nest near his. He sniffed, not recognizing the scent. He was now using his nose and ears a whole lot more than he did as a kit. Duckkit wanted to know who it was.
"Hello?"
He asked in the direction he heard the movement. This tom smelled Rockclan, not Fireclan. He was worried half to death, wondering who it could be.

(Now we put effort into our posts. Also two things. I'm a she cat not a Tom and your Duckpaw. Correct?)
Cinderpaw turned toward a voice. Hello? Cinderpaw narrowed her eyes trying to make out the cat next to her. A white pelt with dull blue eyes. I think Ive seen this Tom before.... Ducki- no Duckpaw! she remembered.Cinderpaw smiled. I believe your Duckpaw. Right? I'm Cinderpaw. I think I've met you once before..

Cinderpaw moved closer careful not to touch the other cat. She didn't even know him but still, it was a cold night and the wind was howling and drafts were going through the cracks in the den. I think there is a storm coming. she said. Then as an answer light flashed outside and thunder boomed. Yep. she mewed. Rain poured down in sheets and started to drop into the den. Here follow me. she mewed dragging her best with her teeth to the corner where a rock ledge jutted from the wall. She brought her best under there and made room for Duckpaw. Now a proper introduction. she mewed. She felt safe and cozy sheltered from the wind, thunder, lightning, and rain.

(Okay, I can do this.... Right?)

Duckpaw heard his name and then. Did he know her?
"Are you... Cinderpaw? Yes, this is Duckpaw."
The small tom replied with pride. This time, he wouldn't mess a friend up this time. How did he know this apprentice? Was she nice? Or mean?
"H-how do I know you?"
He asked in his high voice he got when he was nervous. Suddenly, he heard her say there was a thunderstorm.
"I-uh."
He started to say, but was interupted by thunder booming in the background. This reminded him of his past, getting washed to the nursery during the flood that almost killed him. Please don't let this kill me! He pleaded to himself. I don't want that to happen again! Please! NO FLOOD! This was him pleading really hard in his mind, never wanting to let go of the feeling that he was with another kit.
"Do you know what I am?"
Duckpaw asked Cinderpaw, wondering if she knew about him being blind.

Cinder~
Are you.... Cinderpaw? Yes this is Duckpaw. Cinderpaw smiled. Okay we know each other. Yeah I'm Cinderpaw. But you can call me Cici or Cinder. Cinderpaw mewed. Cinder scooted closer to Duvkpaw. The rock ledge protected then from the harshest wind but drafts still squeaked through cracks in the walls. H-How do I know you? Cinderpaw looked into Duckpaw's dull blue eyes. She noticed for the first time, he had cataracts. I already knew he was blind though... she thought. How do you know me? I think we met once in the Nursery. she mewed trying to remember. She remembered the Tom's voice, coat, and eyes from somewhere..... That had to be it. I-uh. Cinderpw looked at the thunderstorm storming outside. You scared of thunderstorms? she asked looking back at Duckpaw. Do you know what I am? Cinderpaw looked at her paws. Yeah. Don't get mad at me if I get this wrong though. she mewed. She fell silent waiting for Duckpaw's answer.
