Cherryblossom padded silently through the old warehouse, only the voids in the dust where her paws had been proving that she'd even ever been there. She was the perfect hunter and she knew it; she was quiet and fast, her ears, eyes and nose were keen, and most important of all she was a very patient hunter. She could wait for a long time before springing, and the entire time she contemplated her intended prey was none the wiser of her existence.
She lowered into a perfect hunter's crouch when a mouse caught her eye and stalked forward stealthily. When it was within pouncing distance, she prepared herself. Just as she was about to jump, however, there was a loud clanging from not far off. She hissed in surprise, and then whipped around again to watch in dismay as the mouse skittered away.
"Mouse dung!" she spat, turning back to the source of the sound. "Is someone there?" she mewed, calming herself. A mouse was a mouse--there were plenty more. Not surprisingly though, that thought did little to pacify her. Who was it that had ruined her hunt?

Weepy walked out of the shadow's. "What are you doing here, its not like other cats to come this far, or to an old twoleg building. This is my place and i don't appreciate trespassers."

"Excuse me? I'm trespassing?!" Cherry hissed in outrage. "You, young one, are in MoonClan territory." She sniffed the air, and her lip curled up in disgust. "You're a SunClan cat! What business do you have here?" Cherry hoped the young tom was aware that if he hadn't been a kit, she'd have ripped him to shreds by now. As it was, she didn't want the blood of a child on her paws. A child from another Clan, at that. There would be a war faster than you could say "fox dung".

Weeping scowled "ME?! A cat from Sunclan?! I should of known that there scent would were off on me after awhile, but i am far from a cat of Sunclan. I have been living in these woods all my life and it would be sad if i would be reduced to living with a clan!" Weeping knew he was taking a big risk telling the cat that he didn't like Sunclan but if he didn't there might be a preemptive strike witch is the last thing he needed right now, but at least he wasn't completely lying.

Cherry sat down, her eyes narrowed, and curled her tail over her paws. "Very well, young one," she mewed, curiosity keeping her claws sheathed and her natural mothering-instinct unbiddenly kicking in, "tell me who you are and where you are from, not to mention why you're in MoonClan territory, and I will leave you be. If your answers do not satisfy me, I will chase you out."

Weeping chuckled "The clans stoop so low as to chase a kit out of there territory, but i shall answer your questions, My name is Weepingkit, I am from the woods, not to far away from the old clan "Nightclan" but I never resided there, I am in this place because i haven't a place to go after my father died, his old cohorts are out to kill me, I need a place to rest and heal up and this was a good location. Am i forgetting anything?" Weeping said, it was odd opening up like this but it was this or death.

"Your father's friend want to kill you?" Cherry mewed in surprise. "Why do they want you dead? That doesn't make any sense, you're naught but a kit. Tis not exactly customary to kill the kits of your friends, now is it?" She shook her head and sighed. "You have my attention, young one. I will listen to your story, if you are willing to tell it."
ooc// yes, i'm that cool that i used "tis" x3

Weeping felt happy that someone was listening to him. "Well my father was a amazing explorer, he used to be part of Nightclan. But after a fiasco, not sure exactly what is was about. He left his old clan when he was an apprentice and have to survive leafbare all on his own, but that's not my story. My dad found me alone under a weepingwillow tree, hence the name. He then had two mouths to feed. It was hard but he was taught how to hunt by a very old cat. He was killed by greencough sadly but not before teaching my father everything he needed to know. He taught me just as a kit how to hunt. One day in newleaf he found something. In a tree that could be used for many purposes, food,healing, and for getting in tuned with starclan. That is when he became an adventurer. He traveled ever were with a group of cats, an army if you would. My father was killed in an adventure and the control of the army, and everything my dad worked on belonged to me. Everyone wanted to have control, one way or another. So they declared whoever could kill the son of the greatest adventurer ever Eagleflight would take control."

"Wait, so let me get this straight," Cherry mewed, more enraptured by the tale than she thought she'd be, "When your father died, you became the leader of an entire army? Did your father have no deputy? No one to take control after he died?" She was quiet, thoughtful for a moment. "Well, surely you don't have to hide any longer? If you've been away for long enough, then perhaps someone will have taken control and you can return safely? Or is the issue that you don't wish to return?" She wondered for a moment if she should offer the kit a place in MoonClan, but quickly shucked the thought aside. It wasn't her place to make desicions like that, it was Jeststar's, and until she'd heard every last detail of the kit's tale, there was no way she could suggest such a thing to her leader.

"well.." Weepy sank back "My father didn't now he was going to die. He was murdered. He thought i would be old enough when he died but..the thing is that only happened about 2 moons ago. i can barley treed out of clan territory without being ambushed and i don't they would appoint anybody, these are loners remember. They all strive for power." Weeping's tear ducts welled but he kept the tears back.

Cherry hesitated for a moment, but then came over to sit beside the kit and rested her tail kindly on his shoulder for a moment. She decided to push back her pride and mewed gently, "One so young should not have to suffer such pain. Would you like to come back to MoonClan camp with me? Tis not much, but we'd take care of you and protect you from the loners. You'd not need to fear anymore. If you wish it, I am sure that Jetstar would have no problem with letting you leave once the threat had passed." She hoped the kit wouldn't take her offer the wrong way; she wasn't trying to deny him his freedom, she just felt sorry for him. She also wasn't entirely sure she was right about Jetstar, but she'd cross that log when she came to it.

Weeping sighed "I would but that is not were i am welcome, the one you call Jetstar wouldn't take kindly to the person who has been stealing alot of your freshkill at night. Besides i have already helped your enemies 1 more time then i should have, i am sorry but i will remain here until the time comes that the rouges get enough courage to find me hiding here inside your territory. I have already made one clan suffer, i wont do it again."

"You mean... something's happened in SunClan?" Cherryblossom mewed, curiosity and lax but existent concern colouring her tone. She shrugged and shook her head. "Never mind that. Well, I'm going to have to tell Jetstar about you either way. I'll have to ask him for permission to allow you to stay here, otherwise a patrol might stumble across you and then the rogues wouldn't find anything here to kill." She paused when she realized how blunt she'd been, but shook her head and sighed. "He'll probably ask to meet you. He likes to assess a cat before he decides if they're a threat or not. Play your cards right and he may allow you to seek refuge here until you can find sanctuary elsewhere."

Weeping looked at Cherryblossom "That would be the best thing that could happen i suppose, when we meet I don't want any warriors there, besides you."

Cherryblossom understood the kit's wariness, and nodded kindly. "Tis settled, then. I'll go and speak with Jetstar and see if he'll come to discuss the terms of your staying here." She pressed her nose gently to his head briefly to let him know that she wouldn't decieve him before dashing off in the direction of her camp to fetch Jetstar. She hoped her leader would understand where her sympathy had come from and agree to let Weepingkit stay, even if he refused to come and live with the Clan. She only then realized that she hadn't actually found out what had happened to SunClan, but brushed the thought aside. It probably wouldn't come up anyway.
