The Fallen Hunter,~`

Fallensong

Fallensong crept out into the clearing, sniffing for prey while favoring her limp leg. Newleaf was finally arriving, however there was still some chilly weather about, and it stung her leg. However, that meant there would be plenty of prey. She limped/stalked to a clump of ferns, tasting the air as the went.

When she got to that clump of ferns, she pricked up all of her senses, tasting the air and listening for the slightest movement, eying every little bit of movement that she saw, and then, carefully pounced on a crow, taking it down with a swift bite.

However, she quickly wished she hadn't done that, for her leg stung like mad. 'No time for complaints now! I have to do this... For the clan.' She thought, limping back to her post.

If you want to play it like a game
Well, come on, come on, let's play
Cause I'd rather waste my life pretending
Than have to forget you for one whole minute

Leiko had made up her mind. She was sick of this, sick of the cold, the hunger, the never-ending pain. She was going to join her beloved, Julian, wherever he was.
She had decided to die.
Her plan was in place, in motion. Irritate a ShadowClan warrior. Steal prey, attack a kit, whatever. It wouldn't take much to set a Shadowclanner off. She followed her nose, waiting for a fresh trail. Her scrawny sides heaved. She was not as fit as she used to be, and rushing through the forest in a dead sprint would make any cat tired.
Then, suddenly, bam! A fresh trail. A female. She sped up, and slowed down as the trail got fresher. She looked out from behind a convenient fern, and saw a limping she-cat take down a crow. Yuck.
Leiko stepped out from behind the fern, taking a deep breath. These were the last moments of her life - muddy, hungry and fearful beyond belief.
"Hello?" she called. "My name is Leiko. Do what you will with me." She slumped to the ground, awaiting the final blow.

ooc please don't actually kill her. maybe kidnap her and take her back to ShadowClan?

Fallensong

Fallensong looked over, for she smelled a scent - a (Rouge? Loner?) had decided to plop right down in the clearing. "My name is Leiko. Do what you will with me."[/b] Fallensong was suddenly very mad. How could any cat just walk in the ShadowClan territory WANTING a punishment? But this cat obviously wanted death - something Fallensong would not willingly give. Especially to one who wanted it.

"I will not kill you," she said, "but rather take you to camp with me. Then your fate will be decided." She stood up as straight as she could, looking as fierce as she could considering she was still quite young. This would be only the first of the many things she could do for the clan. She wanted to prove herself - for many didn't believe she could do anything with her hurt leg. And so she walked over to her prisoner, a sharp glare on her wild face.[/color][/size]

So are you listening?
So are you watching me?
If you thought I'd leave, then you were wrong
Cause I won't stop holding on.

The female looked over at Leiko, apparently sizing her up. Leiko would have eaten her tail if she saw a threat anywhere in Leiko's lifeless eyes. A scrawy, suicidal loner? Not even an apprentice would have any trouble dealing with Leiko.
"I will not kill you," she told Leiko, "but rather take you to camp with me. Then your fate will be decided." Oh, good. Leiko was no masochist, and if the end came she wanted a painless one. Twenty or so cats would do the job pretty quickly.
But then the cat stalked over to Leiko, a ferocious glare on her face. Maybe shehad changed her mind? But no - Leiko had made up her mind. She wanted to see the ShadowClanners before she died, and if the cat wanted to kill her she'd have to wait.
"Fine," she growled, forcing herself off the ground. "Take me there."
Following her nose, she began to follow what she thought was the female's trail back to wherever she came from - where Leiko assumed was the camp. She wasn't going to be lead about like some Twoleg's dog.

ooc: shall we post in the Camp and make a big noise out of it?

[Shmifty]

((Sure. We need to get as many ShadowClanners in the thread as we can!))

Fallensong

Fallensong limped behind her swiftly, keeping pace as she could, keeping herself from looking weak. She wasn't sure if this cat might turn against her, and she wanted to be prepared if that happened. Sure, Leiko, as she called herself, looked weak. But she didn't want to take any chances. Tail dragging behind her, a small part of her mind drifted to her lost brother and sister... They would be proud to capture a loner on their first couple of days as a warrior. And they would be proud of her. She had to convince herself of this, for it likely wasn't true.

She kept her eyes on the loner the whole time, waiting for any movement she may make. She was, apparently, following Fallensong's trail to camp. "I forgot to mention. You may address me as Fallensong." She said, simply and yet with slight authority.[/color]

See it burning in my eyes
Don't want words, Don't want no lies
They say more than what is spoken
Promises always get broken

The cat limped along behind Leiko - funny, Leiko had barely noticed her injured leg. Try as she might, the arrogant loner could not suppress the surge of pity for the injured cat. What a horrible way to live, limping all day, and probably having less compassionate cats jeering at you. It was not how Leiko would like to live.
Although the irritation - Leiko could feel the cat's eyes on her - was starting to win out over the pity. Suddenly, the she-cat spoke.
"I forgot to mention. You may address me as Fallensong." Leiko snorted. What an appropriate name for the injured warrior. Fallensong. However it did have a nice ring to it.
"Sure," Leiko said arrogantly. "I'm Leiko. Surprisingly enough, that means arrogant," she said, twitching her whiskers in amusement. Her old Twolegs had been fluent in a strange language... Not just the usual Twoleg garble, this was different. The words had sharper edges, and were spoken quicker... But no, she couldn't remember.
"I'm cold. Let's go," Leiko grunted, picking up the pace.

ooc: I'll be starting a thread in the camp tomorrow, unless you want to do it ^-^

((I'll let you do it - your cat is first in line. XD))

Fallensong

Fallensong realized that is was colder than it was before. However, she was not worried. Despite her thin fur, and her fleshy wound, this was not as cold as it had been during leaf-bare. This was just a touch chilly. No, she would not complain. She walked behind Leiko, who, once again, said her name. She also said what it means - which most cats wouldn't know. Fallensong had to sniff a bit at that. 'Arrogance is not what I have seen so far' She thought to herself. But she said nothing.[/color]
