Love Long Forgotten <<Cloudii and Seamist>>

[</cloudii>]

Ripplestream flattened her ears and her tail flicked uneasily. Now she knew there was no way out of this. Her heart ached for Shadowfire and she meowed, trying to keep her voice calm and quiet, "He's lonely in StormClan, some cat just broke his heart and he has no one there," she turned her head away from Seamist. "And I..." the medicine cat couldn't quite put what she had to say into words without Seamist going straight to Midnightstar.

The silver coated she-cat turned away and started towards the camp before turning her head, her amber-green eyes flickering with annoyance and anger, "Why can't you just mind your own business or tell Midnightstar right away instead of threatening me?"

ooc - Not very nice for a medii cat, eh?

[+[{S.E.A.M.I.S.T.}]+]

Seamist's eyes flashed dangerously. She respected Ripplestream as much as the next cat, but her love for her brother was much greater. "Because I love him far more than you do."
She continued quickly, before Ripplestream could get in an indignant word. "He's my brother. I feel for him the same way you do for Pebblestone, but we were all we had for so many seasons that it nearly killed us to separate. The only reason I joined ShoreClan was for him!"

Seamist took another deep breath. "You think I don't know some cat went and broke his heart? He told me about it, and that he was relieved that she was gone. Why? Because he finally realized that he wasn't ready for a long-term relationship."
Her voice lowered to a whisper, and became icy cold. "I know that, even if I wasn't here, you WILL get caught and both your hearts will break. I'm doing it HERE and NOW so that you two don't set off a war or do anything drastic. And not for you, but for my brother."
OOC: Can you have it so that Ripple and Shadow are still together? It'd be boring if it died in the space of a post. Maybe she can like, lie?

[</cloudii>]

ooc - Pebblestone's dead...remember?
And sure...I'll say...Ripplestream just ran away and could Seamist not tell Midnighstar (yet)?

Now that got Ripplestream angry. She had been very sad when her brother died and still had not quite gotten over it. "Mind you own business," she hissed furiously. "And how I thought you were a friend; Pebblestone always had said you were such a good friend and caring mate, clearly you're not!" Her eyes blazed with hurt and anger.

ooc - So sorry, short!

[+[{S.E.A.M.I.S.T.}]+]

Seamist stared her down with her frigid green eyes, willing her neck fur not to rise with all her might. That had been a low blow; forcing her to feel guilty about Pebblestone, when she had cared for him above all else.
"Now that Pebblestone's gone, I don't care anymore," she hissed. "All I have is Shadowfire. And you're not going to hurt him."
Her tail began to lash upon the ground. "I really don't care what you think of me anymore. You can call me all the nasty names you want, and put nettle leaves in my wounds. I really couldn't give a All I have are my kin, and I'd go to StarClan and back for them."
OOC: Oh, yeah. xD
And it's okay. ^^

[</cloudii>]

"You never cared about Pebblestone, did you?" Ripplestream demanded. "He's dead and you don't care?" She snarled, "Yeah, yeah, I know what you're going to say, 'Stop thinking about him! He's gone and he won't come back anymore, get over it!'"
She growled low in her throat and willed Shadowfire to come back and tell Seamist that she couldn't do anything to stop them from meeting and loving each other. She turned away and padded through the trees without another word, although she would've liked to attack Shadowfire's sister. Looking over her shoulder, the medicine cat said, "You can't stop us from meeting, whatever you say," she meowed coldly and walked away.

ooc - NEver thought Ripple and Seasea could be so mean to each to other... lol

[+[{S.E.A.M.I.S.T.}]+]

Seamist's eyes finally ignited with a savage fury. "I cared about him more than any other cat," she yowled after Ripplestream. "Even you. All I meant is that, now that he's gone, I have no one left to care for. Which is why I can finally say this to you!"
She stormed away, and padded back to camp. Still fun=ming, she decided to take a different path this time, so that she wouldn't bump into Ripplestream on the way there. Every instinct urged her to dash after Ripplestream and claw her senseless. After all, although the medicine cat knew some fighting skills, she was a warrior; what could that pathetic fleabag do?
However, she abstained from doing so, and resolved to follow her to she and Shadowfire's next meeting. Hopefully, this time, it'd be on her territory...

OOC: Yeah, they used to be good friends. Tsk, tsk... >.>

[</cloudii>]

Ripplestream snarled a wordless reply and bounded away from the nasty she-cat she once used to call her friend. Once the blue gray pelt of the former deputy was out of sight, she climbed up a tree and decided to spend the night there, near the StormClan border, but in her own territory.

She couldn't face a night in camp, knowing that Seamist was furious with her. Making herself at comfortable as she possibly could, the silver blue cat tucked her nose into her feathery tail. But she couldn't sleep, she watched with intense amber-green eyes down at the StormCln border, willing her love to come.

[+[{S.E.A.M.I.S.T.}]+]

Shadowfire was going out on a walk to clear his mind, when he scented his mate. He knew her scent would still be noticeable, since she had been there not so long ago, but it was fresh. Much too fresh. Quickly, he padded after her scent, hoping with all his might that she wasn't there.
But she was.
"Ripplestream!" he called, and glanced around quickly. "What are you doing there? You should be with your Clan by now!"
He scented the air again, just to make sure that it was really her, and not just a look-alike. Sure enough, it was Ripplestream, but he could also detect...Seamist? His mate's scent was oddly charged, as though she had been in distress, and so was his sister's. "Was Seamist here?" he mewed, as he waited for her to get down from the tree.

[</cloudii>]

Ripplestream snarled as someone called her name, then she realized it was her mate and she relaxed. She jumped somewhat gracefully down from the tree and looked hesitantly as Shadowfire. "Yeah," she turned her head away from the black tom and muttered, "She was here alright."
Suddenly her ambergreen eyes blazed with violent anger and told Shadowfire how Seamist had found out and she would try to stop them from meeting each other. "I told her nothing, nothing, would stop us from meeting each other and she pretty much said that she didn't care that Pebblestone was dead and she only cared for you and thought i would hurt you."

[+[{S.E.A.M.I.S.T.}]+]

Shadowfire's gaze darkened, but not with anger. Sure, he was angry that Seamist wanted to stop him from seeing Ripplestream, but he knew she was just trying to do the right thing. And now that Pebblestone - her beloved mate - was dead, he knew just how much she would try and protect those around her. However, he vowed that nothing would come between him and his mate, and decided to tell her just that.
"Ripplestream," he mewed gently. "Nothing can break us apart. Ever. But if Seamist wants to try...that's her choice. I can't to anything about it, or she'll blow up at me - and you know that."

He glanced up at the darkening skies with some trepidation. "Are you really planning to stay out here all night?" he mewed. "You need some sort of den - you could stay for a bit in StormClan, if you like. Just tell Scarletstar that you need to spend time with Crystalpool, or something."

[</cloudii>]

Ripplestream twined her tail with Shadowfire's, but she shook her head. The sound of a night in Crystalpool's den sounded good, but there wasn't really a reason, and she couldn't tell her friend or else she'd try to stop Shadowfire and her from meeting...and soon the problem with Seamist would get bigger too...
"No," she mewed quietly, "I can't. Don't worry," she pressed her muzzle against his black one to assure him, "I'll be okay up in the tree. Foxes and badgers won't get me...hopefully."

[+[{S.E.A.M.I.S.T.}]+]

Shadowfire's gaze flooded with anguish. "Maybe I should stay up here too," he mewed in concern, and sidled closer to her. The night was getting colder and colder, and he had to go soon, before any cat noticed that he was gone.
He glanced at her for a moment. "Maybe you should go back to your own Clan," he murmured. "It's dangerous out here."

[</cloudii>]

Ripplestream's eyes sparked. "No way am I going back to see Seamist," she spat out Seamist's name and suddenly realized what she just did. "Oh, I'm so sorry!" she quickly apologized. "Please don't send Crystalpool out here to bring me back or something, I don't want her to know anything. I promise I'll be okay," she gave his ear a gentle lick and made an effort to smile.

[+[{S.E.A.M.I.S.T.}]+]

Shadowfire's ears twitched uneasily, and flattened. "It's okay," he mewed reassuringly, but it bothered him to see that Seamist and Ripplestream hated each other this much. They had been close friends once, but now, his love for her had come between the two she-cats.
Sighing heavily, he nuzzled her once and mewed a farewell. He trudged back to his side of the border, fervently hoping that she would be all right.

[</cloudii>]

Ripplestream stared after her mate and whispered, "I love you," quietly. She clambered up the tree again and settled down. It wasn't very comfortable, but it would have to do. She definitely wasn't going back to camp to face a grumpy and furious Seamist, but she would have to go back tomorrow anyhow.

ooc - Closed?
