strange things will happen {wolfivy}

[ivypaw **]

ivypaw **

she was alone, just like always, it seemed. loneliness took a toll on her heart, and on her soul. even orchidpaw didn't want to be around her. ivypaw's tongue, sharp as always, had "deeply wounded" orchidpaw's latest acquaintance, and he'd told her she was a heartless little badger. that she'd never get any friends if she always acted like that. 'like what?' ivypaw thought sadly, shaking her head as she refused to cry - well, was arguing with herself not to cry - 'at least i act like myself!' she thought bitterly, shaking her head as tears threatened to spill again. the fog gathering around her like a spooky blanket. how she dreaded being alone, and as darkness neared!

orchidpaw and her company had left her there, out in the darkness* and, well, ivypaw was considerably terrified of the dark. not to mention, it was chillier at night, and the last time she'd been out too late she'd gotten in trouble, and - there were a million reasons! fear coursed through her veins, mostly irrational fears, but the small girl was frightened all the same. okay, maybe she wasn't sure what direction camp was either, but the fog was thick! she'd been exploring the territory for a little over a moon, why did they expect her to know her way back so easily?

maybe it was her nose that was defective. when she'd been upset earlier, she'd cried, and now it was a little drippy, and she couldn't scent very well. 'what a miserable existence!' the she-cat thought suddenly, plopping down and just about giving up. "this is it. this is how i die. alone and in the dark!" the she-cat managed out before bursting into tears, the hot and salty droplets burning her skin as they raced down her grey little cheeks.

[Wolfpaw ☆]

After a long day of hunting with Longshadow ge was emotionally and physically drained and all he wanted to do was curl up in his nest. His one sightfil eye saw that Ivypaw was missing and he had seen Dreamstar enter her den with his mentor. After a good whiff he knew she had not been here. No he was not worried for her. He was just doing what any clanmate would do. Okay he was a tiny bit worried for her.

Lucky her, his sense of smell was better then most and so was hearing. He was able to track her scent through the thick fog and sighed as he smelt a bit of panic. "Ivypaw!" Wolfpaw called out as he heard rustling. He headed towards her. As he spotted her, he noticed her tears. Great I have to deal with a crying she-cat while exhausted. Yet, a part of him was exrr upset to see her like this. "What are you doing out here, mouse-brain." He mewed as he came up to her. He stood by her and nudged her gently with his cheek against her, before resting his tail on her flank.

[ivypaw **]

the fog had entirely encapsulated her, and she whimpered softly as she cried. this was what the dark forest was, wasn't it? she'd died and gone there, abandoned by her supposed starclan ancestors. it was a voice - wolfpaw's voice - that pulled her from her nightmarish reverie. "wolfpaw?" she blubbered, embarrassed that he'd found her while she was in such a state. the she-cat sniffled loudly, knowing she looked funny. "i-i got lost." ivypaw stuttered, feeling increasingly sheepish. if he'd been able to find a way through the fog, she could too, couldn't she? 'he's just the same as me - if not better.' she quickly reprimanded herself mentally, feeling ashamed of herself. really, he was better than her. a better cat, a better fighter, a better, more determined, learner.

when he called her a mouse-brain, her lip quivered as she smiled before what had happened came back to her. "it's n-nothing." she murmured softly, shaking her head, though she knew he'd be able to tell something was wrong. when he nudged her, heat flooded her cheeks, and she found the presence of his tail against her side comforting.

[Wolfpaw ☆]

Wolfpaw rolled his eyes at her, "I can see your lost." He muttered as he looked up at her tear streaken face. He felt uneasy on the inside. He was never good with sad cats, normally he'd walk away, but she was his friend. Only friend too. As she lied to him about being okay, Wolfpaw nudged her again and flickered his tail at her side.

"Ivypaw I am blind in one eye not stupid, so spit it out, because personally I rather be in my nest," Wolfpaw mewed. Then, fidged as he spoke next as if it was weird for him to say this, "But I cannot sleep woth my fellow denmate and only friend upset and missing. Why do you think I snuck out to find you! By the way you are lucky one sense is weak cause makes my others strong to find you in this fog! Otherwise we'd both be lost out here!" He grumbled at the end.

[ivypaw **]

ivypaw scowled when he rolled his eyes at her. that was her job! she smiled at his words, blinking away some of her tears, but still feeling down. "well, you're my only friend, too." she said quietly, blinking at him, wondering if that was strange. neither of them were exceptionally friendly, so was it a surprise that they only had one another? perhaps, but their friendship felt right. it wasn't built on lies or false personalities. they were blunt and harsh and truthful - so what if others found them mean?

"thanks, wolfpaw." she half-purred, blinking at him, her eyes half-guarded as if she were suddenly shy. ivypaw headbutted him lightly in the shoulder, resting her head there for a moment before pulling away. "i'm lucky to have a friend like you." she said quietly, her green eyes on her own paws. "jayblue... made fun of me.. and -" she swallowed, hard. "orchidpaw let him." tears filled her eyes, but she wouldn't let them spill. she shook her head, still in disbelief of her sister's actions.

[Wolfpaw ☆]

Wolfpaw let out a weak smile. This nice thing was totally not him, but with Ivypaw, it kinda grew a bit, but only to a point. "Well, don't worry about losing me as a friend, furball, no really want to be my friend, so you are stuck with me,"Wolfpaw mewed as he flickered his semi bushy tail. If any other cat placed their head 9n his shoulder crying or not, he'd shed them.


His eyes narrowed at the warrior and apprentice.  "They are jealous of you Ivypaw. You will be something and they will not!" He huffed in annoyance at those two. Then, gave her a smirk, "plus you are frie ds with me. Makes everyone jealous of you. I mean I am quite dashing!"

[ivypaw **]

"you're the furball." she growled playfully, raising her brow as she gazed at him mischievously. he was fluffy, definitely more so than her, so he was most definitely the furball. ivypaw snorted, shaking her head at him, when he said that they were jealous of her. while his words made her happy, she felt badly still. "orchidpaw's never been jealous of me. she thinks i'm an idiot. i'm just her ugly little sister." ivypaw mewed painfully, growing more angry and less sad.

"oh, yes," ivypaw mewed very sarcastically. "the most dashing tom in all of the apprentice den." she snorted, rolling her eyes before flashing him a quick smile. at least he understood her. that was what made their friendship such a good one. "orchidpaw's just an ungrateful princess that runs around with older toms looking for trouble." the she-cat gave quick, definitive nod, looking more pleased than she had been earlier.

[Wolfpaw ☆]

He chuckled as she called him a furball. "Perhaps, but you are jealous of my fluffyness. Wait til leaf-bare you will be begging for it!" He smirked at her. Then, he snorted. "She pretty? I think I'd take company with a badger then her. Plus, being oh so dashing I can only hang out other dashing cats! Making you dashing. See this is why I can only get along with you," if he had no fur you could have easily seen the red blush from miles away, but because of dark fur he was safe.


Wolfpaw scuffed at Orchidpaw's name. "You know, if you were my sister I'd be jealous of you. You must be mousebrain to not see how talented you are," he grumbled.

[ivypaw **]

ivypaw snorted, rolling her eyes at him despite her half-smirk half-smile. "you speak as if you remember leaf-bare." she teased, jabbing at him with her paw playfully. how old had they been? 'little, very little. i only remember the cold, a tiny bit...' the gray she-cat thought to herself, shifting slightly. "our parents shoulda named her badgerkit." the apprentice muttered, shaking her head. "orchidfoxbrain. isn't that a nice name?"

when he went on, calling her dashing, ivypaw flushed, shyly looking away from him. "you've... certainly lost your edge with me, haven't you?" she teased, her stomach feeling strange and her throat oddly going dry. the she-cat burst out laughing as he mentioned her being his sister. "if i was your sister, we'd have skinned each other alive before our sixth moon!" ivypaw retorted, glancing back at him with mischief in her eyes just as he complimented her again. woosh! the air went out of her again, and the she-cat found her face hot again. what was happening? "says the most talented cat i know! you've overcome more than bullying and mean sisters to get where you are, wolfpaw."

[Wolfpaw ☆]

Wolfpaw ears flicker, "well when leaf-bare comes around and your freezing I'll remind you of this chat," he purred with amusement. Then, shook his head, "Nah, Orchiddung sounds better I think. Since I rather talk to fox dung then her!" Wolfpaw said with amusemnet leaking in each word.

"Lose my edge? With you?!" Wolfpaw exclaimed with mockerly. "I am completely insulted! I don't know if we can even be friends now!" He smirked at her before nudging her shoulder with his. "No, actually not at all, I just thought if you were upset you'd want me not be my normal rude self. That does not mean I am soft!" Then, he chuckled at her, "I think we would have shredded each other before we were 2 moons." Then, he spoke gently and he rested his tail next to his paws. His mult colored glaze rested on Ivypaw, "Because of you. You push me and now I am going to push you. Don't believe a word those two fox hearts say. You are a amazing cat and one day you will be an amazing warrior."
