Frostfeather and Nightwish were down by the pool. Frostfeather looked over the herbs trying to choose the best ones she could find, while Nightwish was determined to catch a fish. She darted her paw to get a fish she hooked it with her claws and tryed to toss it onto the bank, it few high in the air Nightwish leaped to get it, but they both ended up in the water. Nightwish climbed out of the water "Mousedung" she growled. Frostfeather smothered a mrrw of laughter.

A thin figure was picking her way over the grass toward the duo, her tail raised in greeting. A small smile appeared on the calico's face as she watched a warrior tumble into the river. /Great job./ she thought, somewhat sarcastically.
The she-cat came to a stop next to Frostfeather, inclining her head a small amount. "Hello you two." Longstride meowed. The deputy's eyes showed nothing but friendliness at the moment.

The she-cat glanced toward the water. So swift and threatening, yet so calming and healing. The she-cat lifted a paw suddenly, licking it as if it had hit the cooling liquid. She rasped her tongue over the multi-colored fur for a few heartbeats before placing it on the ground once more. She tilted her head toward the water, eyes gleaming with amusement.
"Fishing, I presume?"

A handsome copper-colored tom emerged from the main cavern. He let his eyes adjust against the searing light that burst from the clouds like a golden river. He padded down to the pool beneath the water fall. As he drew closer, he made out the shapes of Frostfeather, Nightwish, and Longstride. He almost laughed when Nightwish emerged from the pool, sodden with freezing spring water. He kept his pelt close to the side of the trail, not wanting to be seen. What he was about to do was something that went against everything the warrior code stood for. But he had lost care. All his life, he was never truly accepted as a warrior; even with a new name. The warrior code is for warriors. Not for those who are called "dirty rogues".
He was about to slip into the forest, when he was stopped by a voice. He froze. "And where are you going Copperfur?" Wrenstar meowed, padding up to the tom. Copperfur tried to clear the look of a kit caught doing something naughty from his face. "I'm going hunting." The lie burned like a bee-sting on his tongue. "Alone? I think you would be more successful in a group, wouldn't you?" Her golden eyes met his, and he looked away. A look of concern passed over her face. "Let's go see if Longstride or Nightwish wants to come with you." Copperfur sighed and followed Wrenstar down to the pool.
When his paws touched the warm sand, he watched Wrenstar cross over to speak with Longstride. His eyes caught a glance of Nightwish looking hopefully into the water, her eyes darting around trying to follow the silver shapes. Have I ever tried to catch a fish? He padded to the side of the pool beside Nightwish, ignoring her questioning stare. He tensed his muscles, eyes darting to follow the silver scales beneath the surface. Finally, he saw one swimming to the surface, and he sprang. He had timed it wrong. The second he hit the water, the fish was already swimming back down toward the bottom. Frustrated, he thrashed his legs madly against the current, trying to dive after it. But the current was quicker then he realized, and with horror, discovered the undertow. The freezing snow-melt water dragged him closer to the bottom, and he kicked out madly to gain control. He realized that if he didn't re-surface soon, he was going to drown. His legs already felt numb, as if the water was draining his energy like some giant spider. He reached out with his paw, and caught something. Without thinking about it he kicked toward the side of the pool, and found calm water. He drifted to the surface, and started to hack out water as he used the rest of his strength to pull himself back up onto the shore. As he sat on the sand catching his breath, he found out that he had something caught in his claws. It was the fish.

Adding confusion to his dizzy head was making Copperfur dazed. Why is she jealous I caught the fish? I was just as embarrassed... He looked up and saw half the Clan looking down from above the pool, driven out of the cave from the commotion. ... never mind. MORE embarrassed. And for what? A stupid fish?
Copperfur lay the fish on the beach. He drew his tongue through his fur, warming and drying himself. Through his sodden appearance, he saw Wrenstar telling the Clan to continue on their business, there was nothing to see here. The sun helped to keep him from freezing, but his head still swam after being in the snow-melt water. Wrenstar padded over to him, her golden eyes filled with concern. "You should go find Frostfeather. I don't want one of my warriors coming down with a cold." "Ok," Copperfur grabbed the fish and made his way back into the cave. He realized with dismay that his chance to go look for the black she-cat had been ruined. And it would be days before he got the chance again.

As a splash went up from the pool, the calico felt drops of water fall on her pelt. The deputy flashed a look of irritation toward the water, taking care not to look toward the warrior. She wasn't in the mood to answer to a warrior at the moment.
Longstride dipped her head low as she watched Wrenstar pad toward her. The deputy was side-tracked from the conversation, however, when Nightwish stalked off into the dark forest. She wasn't too concerned; Nightwish was with her sister.
As Wrenstar padded away to talk to the tom that had just fallen in, she gazed at her paws. For days now, she had been somewhat on edge. It was unknown to her the cause, but she was getting slightly worried. Not that it was showing. She was able to hide this discomfort and carry out her normal activities.

Um, I think Rose meant that Frostfeather was Nightwish's sister..... No, the black she-cat is Pantheress. Copperfur caught sight of her once, and if now almost addicted to finding her again.

OOc: Um.... Eshe's right. I meant that Longstride wasn't too concerned about Nightwish in the forest because she was with her sister Frostfeather. I didn't mean it to seem as if Longstride was related to them.
