All alone[p]

Serenity walked on her own, not really knowing where she was going. She made sure to move quietly and under the cover of the bushes so no one could see her. That was how she was raised, and she would stick to it. She glanced around quickly, not really wanting to talk to other cats that day.

(Sorry for shortness.)

-It's fine-

Sketch grinned as he walked around the territory that was owned by his new clan. It was pretty nice being surrounded by cats that weren't his relatives for a change. As he was walking, the young, grey tom scented another cat. They smelled like Deathclan, but he couldn't be too sure- their hiding made them suspicious to him.

He pricked his tufted ears as he began to follow the scent, reaching some bushes. He stuck his long-furred head under the bushes, smiling when he saw a white furred cat.

"What'cha doing down there?"

[Deleted]

Serenity shook her head. "Trying to avoid other cats." she replied with a sigh. "Looks like I'm failing." she added. "What are you doing up there?" she asked suspiciously. She had trouublee trusting anyone, as it should be out there, and it wasn't her fault. Anyone can betray you at any time was her star belief. "For all I know, you could be plotting to attack me."

She thought for a moment. "Probably not though because you would have snuck up, but still.

Sketch flicked his dark grey ear, "Oh please," He continued, "You're bound to speak to another cat at some point. You can't stay secluded forever." He spoke, casting his blue eyes upwards to a leaf that was tickling his head. "And if you must know, I was up there because I actually like contact with others."

"I don't plot against my clanmates, that's dumb," He replied, "What's the point in living here if I don't get along with or actually know any cats."

[Deleted]

Serenity thought for a moment. "Of coarse I've spoken to other cats. I'm just avoiding cats today..." she said, voice trailing off. "And maybe a few other days, but I don't always avoid others." She tilted her head slightly, not sure quite what he meant. "Are you saying that I don't like contact with other cats? How can you know that when you just met me?"

She paused for a moment to collect herself. "Sorry, I get a little panicky sometimes. I'm Serenity. What's your name?" she asked with a smile, visibly more relaxed than before as she made her way to more solid land that wasn't under a bush.

[Deleted]

"Maybe because you're ignoring everyone?" He said, "Then again, I hate being alone so I don't understand wanting to avoid everyone." He replied, laying down on the floor. "And I can say that when I've just met cats because I'm quick to make assumptions," He continued, "And I'm willing to admit that so don't you go around calling me ignorant."

He smiled a little when Serenity introduced herself. "I'm Sketch," He said as the white feline made her way out from under the bush, "So you finally came out," He said as his blue eyes scanned her pelt.

[Deleted]

Seerenity nodded. "Well, you make some pretty big assumptions about cats. Lucky you seem good at it. Plus that one was a bit obvious I guess." she responded. The smile was gone, but then againn, she never smiled for long. And rarely for real. "Well I was just in a bush. The words comming out don't really describe it."

[Deleted]

"I know. My assumptions are never wrong," He said, whipping his dark tail with a small smile, "So... how long you been living here?" He asked, changing the subject.

[Deleted]

"Just a few moons." she said. She thought a moment, deciding weither to elaberate or not. As always, she chose not though.

[Deleted]

Sketch nodded. So Serenity had been a Deathclan nee for around the same amount of time as he had. "Why'd you decide to join?"

[Deleted]

"Because I found out about this place and it just seemed like a good place to live. You?" she asked.

[Deleted]

"I needed somewhere to go so I didn't have to live with my parents any longer... This seemed like a pretty good place." The dark grey cat replied.

[Deleted]

"My parents died and my brother left, so I was on my own when I got here." she said, not a trace on the long past maurning in her eyes.

[Deleted]

"So you're pretty average then," Sketch yawned, "I'm pretty sure almost everyone's parents 'round here. Not many cats are too strong."

[Deleted]

She smiled and nodded, thinking back to the blood layering her claws from battle, knowing that they were still lightly stained by blood. "I'm over it." she said.
