Learning the Story [p]

[Natalia]

Natalia remembered what Jude had said.

Thomas had a friend named Ginger. She'd headed into Twolegplace, searching for Ginger. She'd dived into some convenient bushes to avoid Thomas, as he was running past. He seemed upset. Her eyes had widened as she saw Thomas for the first time since she was a kit. It was... Shocking.

He still seemed angry in general.

After he'd gone past, she'd returned to her path to... Actually she had no idea which Twoleg den Ginger resided in. So she was sort of looking for any cat who would fit the name Ginger. She couldn'tve asked Jude where she lived, because that would've been horribly suspicious. She promised Jude she wouldn't go looking for Thomas, so she wasn't going to tell him about this encounter.

"Ginger!"

Ginger

[Ginger]

A pretty little head popped up over a white picket fence.

Who could be calling her. It was a she cat but she lacked Scarlett's accent.

"hello?" She called back.

[Natalia]

Natalia's ears perked up as someone's head popped up from behind....

Um. She wasn't sure what it was. It looked like a bunch of white, oddly-shaped sticks all connected together. It was really weird. She cleared her throat.

"So you're Ginger... My name is Natalia. I think you know my brother."

[Ginger]

Thomas' sister.

Gingers face became grim. "yes I'm afraid I know him"

[Natalia]

Natalia folded her ears back.

"I.... How is he doing?" She asked quietly.

[Ginger]

"not good I kept trying to show him not to hold a grudge. " she sighed"against you because I know he must be wrong" she
Suddenly laughed"where is my hospitality?! Come in! There's a hole to your left she said disappearing back int her yard

[Natalia]

Natalia stiffened.

"Er... Okay." She wanted to talk to Ginger... But she was still put off by Ginger's kindness. She was surprised that Ginger thought Thomas was wrong. Another thing she tried to understand but failed to. 

She saw the hole in the fence Ginger was talking about, and slipped through there. She awkwardly pawed the ground. "So... You think what Thomas said about me was... Wrong?"

[Ginger]

"yes. He was hurt and he felt a need to blame it on someone to avoid having to question himself." She said calmly. She had a hunch his parents died she knew that the wild had badgers and foxes. "would you like something to eat?" Ginger asked.

[Natalia]

Natalia was upset.

She didn't let it show, only crinkling her nose in response to Ginger's offer for food. Thomas was hurt and needed to blame someone else... But Natalia always figured stuff was her fault and she was hurt too! He didn't need to hurt her... He didn't need to hurt Jude.

"Er, no. I don't eat kittypet food." She sighed and looked away. "What exactly was.... Thomas saying?"

[Ginger]

"I honestly don't think its fitting to tell you. Because none of its true." She sighed. "I'm just really worried he wont let me help him. He means alot to me and I want him to be happy..." She said sadly.


((my brothers reading this and I'm worried theirs to much shipping fule XD))

[Natalia]

Natalia didn't say anything at first. 

She just looked away. ".... I see." She mewed quietly. She looked up and looked at Ginger. "Um... A friend of mine came to see you before. His name was Jude. He said you ran from him..." 

[Ginger]

"oh well I mean he was a deathclan cat that beat up my best friend. I got kinda casious" she shrugged.

[Natalia]

Natalia stared at Ginger.

Didn't she realize that if she was Jude's friend it was more or less a given that Natalia was likely Deathclan. Then again, cats from the wild didn't have the greatest reputations with house cats. She wondered what was up with that, cats always hearing bad things about those in a group and vice versa, not to mention bad things about other groups even if you were in a group.

"Y'know, I'm Deathclan."

[Ginger]

"I know but you dint scratch out my friends eye" she said before grooming her chest and unique pelt.

[Natalia]

Natalia looked away.

"But he... Jude did it because of me...."
