Doubts (Firestar/Open)

[RacingBelle]

Firestar snarled softly and her tail twitched irritably. She could smell MarshClan's scent over the border. After her border patrols reported that they had smelled MarshClan over the border for two consecutive days, Firestar decided to see what the other clan might be up to. So far there was no sign of prey being stolen but...scratch that. Firestar had just found signs that a mouse had been killed and it was not by a RockClan member. But she gave them the benefit of the doubt, though Firestar was even starting to doubt that doubt and have newer doubts. It could just be a apprentice accidentally straying across the border after a mouse. After all it was just a few feet across the border, nothing more. Why would would MarshClan need to steal from RockClan anyway? It was Greenleaf and there was plenty of prey. Firestar tilted her head thoughtfully. Or maybe one of my clan is meeting with their clan, a secret and forbidden love? Firestar shook her head vigorously. The orange tabby was not ready to believe that one of her own would break the Warrior Code.

"Then I wonder why." Firestar said aloud. She started renewing the scent along the border. Perhaps that would help. Firestar sighed. She had only been a leader for a few moons. This leader thing was harder than Fireflight had ever thought it would be. Now she was Firestar and all the duties of a leader were...hers. It was just so much to take in. Firestar sat down and started to enjoy the feeling of being 'hidden' from her clan. The tall grass hid the she cat from sight but that didn't mean Firestar was hidden from their sense of smell. But that didn't mean the leader of Rockclan didn't want to have some time to herself. Being with her Clan all the time was a little monotonous, a little...unexciting. Firestar was still a little restless on the occasional day. She had only been a hard working deputy just a few moons earlier, working as hard as any other cat. Which definitely was interesting. Not to say that Firestar didn't want to be leader...it was just sometimes the she-cat wished that life could be more like it was when she was first a warrior. Ah all the new freedoms...

[atrb=background,http://i437.photobucket.com/albums/qq95/amanda1472/14.jpg] The calico cat had just recently started to look for herbs, and so far she was happy. Being a healer is good for Moonfeather. Well she had no herbs so far from her days journey but she hopped to come back with a mouth full. Moonfeather had not been born in this clan, she was gad to even make it this far, and just helping others with their owns life is everything Moonfeather would ever need. Though she knew she would never have a family. Its a choice she chose from the heart. But now the she-cat was doing her job, Moonfeather was searching for the full grown plants of much needed herbs. She mostly need simple one. One for colds, bleedings, flus, cuts, headaches, and bruises, things like that. Moonfeather looked around now, it was one of her favorite seasons, well there are not many plants to work with. But she is so use to winter and cold, she actually liked it. She looked around now, mouth open smelling the air ,it seemed some one else was here, but Moonfeather had not really been paying attention, so she had no idea who could it be, or even what. She hoped it was not a wolf. Maybe a mouse, yes that be nice actually, a snack. the young she-cat was a little up set, there wasnt many live plants to go by, but she could smell something, a strong odor of Tansy, she was sure of it. But it was faint and it could be dead. Moonfeather had not even noticed Firestar was close by, she was so focused on her hunt for herbs she could have been attacked and not even heard this creature coming. The she-cat found it though, most of the leaves where alive, some where not too good, but four where in pretty good shape for the place they where in. So she bit them off gently and was going to go back, but she heard something. Firestar?'',Moonfetaher wondered why her leader would be here all alone. Maybe the she-cat was just being a little over protective but that's her style. ''What are you doing out here by your self?''. Her tone was calm but still worried with curiosity hidden.

Hazecloud walked smoothly and calmly through the Clearing. He was enjoying the sun and the rays hitting his back. To him, life was good. He and his clan mates have full bellies, plenty of prey and perfect weather. She looked up at the sun and smiled as he thought of Firestar. Sure he always got on her nerves, even when she became leader but hey, it was his way of showing his kindness and thoughtfulness. He never told anyone but he was deeply in love with Firestar. Everything about her just made his heart beat quickly, making his body hot and getting lost in her green eyes. Her eyes is what really caught his attention, along with ehr body and personality. Just everything about her was right. As he walked, he herd voices. Crouching down, he crawled over to the noise. He stops when he sees Moonfeather and his precious Firestar talking to eachother. Smiling, he licked his chest fur and then walked smoothly over to them. "Good morning ladies." He said in a smooth voice. He always talked to the girls like this but he didnt care if they liked it or not. As long as it impressed Firestar, he will continue to doing it. "What might you two be doing today hmm?" He asked them in his smooth voice once again.

Firestar gave her paw a lick and then ran it over her ear, repeating the process again for the other ear. Firestar turned to give her sides a few licks, grooming herself. Sometimes it helped her think. At the moment it wasn't helping anything of the such. Firestar's head raised up, ears pricked. The she cat thought she caught a rustle in the grass. Or perhaps that was just the wind. No its another cat...Moonfeather. Firestar nodded to the medicine cat. "Hello, Moonfeather. I'm checking out the border. MarshClan has been stealing our prey you know, and I wanted to see for myself. Without ten million warriors worrying about me." Firestar said cheerfully. Now that I'm a leader no one seems to think I can take care of myself...not like I'm a kittypet! Nobody worries over a deputy. Though kittypets can make great leaders sometimes... Firestar thought back to the original Firestar. The legendary Firestar. I hope that I can be as good as he was.

Firestar almost groaned aloud. Instead she just rolled her eyes, not caring if the two of them saw. This was another reason Firestar wanted to 'escape' camp. Hazecloud had been bugging her since...for almost as long as Firestar could remember. Even when she became leader. Firestar shot Moonfeather a look that said 'This is another reason why I'm alone' kind of look. "Good morning to you too Hazecloud. I am just trying to have a few moments to myself and check out MarshClan's border. What, may I ask, are you doing out here? Alone." His tone did not impress Firestar at all, she thought that he was doing it to annoy her. Firestar gave Hazecloud a short but suspicious stare. Could this be her warrior that was having an affair with a she cat of MarshClan? After all he was alone. But this meant nothing. Firestar would not accuse Hazecloud of breaking the Warrior Code without solid proof. It would be a very serious accusation in any case. Firestar would not be the leader who falsely accused one of her Clanmates of such a thing. Besides, Firestar didn't even want to think about that happening because then she would be the one to decide some sort of punishment for them. It would be a heavy weight on her shoulders to do so.

[atrb=background,http://i437.photobucket.com/albums/qq95/amanda1472/14.jpg] The Calico medicine cat wondered why her leader would be so intense over this one border, but it all came clear as her leader spoke. Moonfeather would never have guessed that, would Marshclan really be stealing food? It was full-leaf why would they ever need to steal. Moonfeather found this weird, maybe it was just a apprentice?, ''May i say it could have been a young Apprentice not knowing what they where doing? Their mentor might have come to get them?''. Moonfeather should really hope her leader to truly think this over. Firestar might not know whats happening, plus she was sure this was only the first time Firestar has seen this. But a noise came to her ears, it seems to be Hazelcloud. She sighed and turned to look at the tom, she was not sure her leader would want to continue this conversation anymore. Maybe she would investigate before she said anything to her clan. ''Hello Hazelcloud''. Moonfeather did not speak much, but she could tell in the look from the to he liked Firestar. Moonfeather was not sure if it was just a crush though or he loved her with his heart. But it was amusing to watch. ''My self, I was looking for Tansy''. She would be quiet now though, she wanted to see what these lovely cats would do. Plus Hazelcloud was an interesting character.

Hazecloud ears perk up when he heard Firestar say that she smelt Marshclan scent on their border. But he pushed it aside. Its full leaf and theres plenty of prey. Nothing to worry about. "I see. But, it was probably some cat that forgot where the border was. Thats great Moonfeather! Did you find any?" He asked her smoothly. He knew she did but he still wanted to know. He looked back over at Firestar and smiled. Oh how he wished she was his mate. Her beautiful ,firey orange pelt and green eyes shone in the sun. He could just see him and Firestar together, running in the fields, not a care in the world. He smiled at that thought and the thought of kits. He imagined how the kits will look like both him and fire. They would be the best kits. Oh how he yearned for her lean against him, telling him that she loves him and how he comforts him when he sleeps. He snapped back into reality and looked to see that both she cats were looking at him. Feeling his face get warm, he smiled at them. "Lets go check the borders Firestar." He said as he looked at her, smiling.

[atrb=background,http://i437.photobucket.com/albums/qq95/amanda1472/fi2.jpg] Firestar shook her head. "I thought about that Moonfeather. If so they must have some very bad mentors. This border crossing and prey stealing has been going on for three days now, counting today. Don't worry, I will not rush into anything serious. I want to know why MarshClan might be stealing our prey. Perhaps there is a reason. It better be a good one though. I'm just hoping that reason isn't going to lead to a battle. StarClan knows we don't need one." Firestar looked gravely at the two. It was Full-leaf right now but what happened when it became Leafbare and MarshClan continued to steal prey? Leafbare was a time when what prey could be hunted was needed greatly. If another Clan stole prey, then the Clan that was being stolen from could suffer. Firestar's tail lashed a few times before she could stop it. Even now it twitched with irritation at the lack of answers and solutions."No thank you Hazecloud. I do believe I was having a conversation with Moonfeather, too. It would be nice to discuss this matter with another cat, you know." Firestar's head turned to Moonfeather. "It looks like you need help finding herbs anyway. I would be glad to, you know. I'm bored out of my mind at camp at the moment." Firestar stretched her limbs out by bowing down, it seemed, sinking her claws into the ground. Then the she cat sat up again, looking at her warrior and medicine cat with a thoughtful expression.

[atrb=background,http://i437.photobucket.com/albums/qq95/amanda1472/14.jpg] The she-cat was confused. Even though clans are usually rivals they would never let one die right? If Marshclan was in that much trouble would they not come here to ask for help, or go to Frostclan? She was sure her leader would never let anything happen to a clan, specially when they have done nothing wrong. Plus why was Firestar being so mean to Hazelcloud. But she talked to the tom, ''We have check, but now we just need to keep a look eye.'' She shook her pelt now, amber eyes wary. ''Alright, well see these leafs'', Moonfeather picked up the four leaves she had dropped, and showed it to Firestar and Hazelcoud in case he came along. ''For some reason i cant find much of them, most of the Tansy's are dead..''. She sighed and showed them a plant, it was mostly brown and dying, though one or two leaves was alive enough to be used. She plucked them out. Plus its not the only herbs she needed, most of the plants have started to really bloom now, so she had to start stocking up. ''I am not sure why, but my guess is.. humans'', Moonfetaher sighed and picked up her herbs, hopping her clan mates would follow her. Life was hard for her herbs, maybe the same was for Marshclan's food.

"I saw quite a bit of tansy not that far from here Moonfeather." He said, slightnly depressed from Firestar's denied offer. He really wanted to be with her so badly. He was about to spill it all out but stopped himself from doing so. He didnt want to feel embarassed from if she says that she doesnt love him like the way she does. It pained him to be alone, away from her. He never felt whole in the warriors den while the only girl he loves is in a different den then him. He felt alone from the world. Heck, she was his world. His earth, sun, moon, water, forests, everything. He loved her personality, it was the first thing that made him fall for her. She always had a way to brighten his day when he was/is down. He felt a pain in his heart if she picked someone else instead of him. It would tear him away from his life. He can't imagine without her. She she did pick someone else, his world will be nothing but a big, black void.

[atrb=background,http://i437.photobucket.com/albums/qq95/amanda1472/dusk2.jpg] Duskclaw was hunting. The clearing was always a perfect spot to do so, although it didn't have his favorite prey. But since it was getting warmer every day, prey was plentiful. He could get squirrel anytime he wanted, but today he wanted some plump mice. His nose carefully scenting the air, and it immediately smelled mice. It was eating some seeds on the ground, carefree and lazy as if it didn't know what would happen. The tom lowered his tail and started to stalk the mouse. It was too busy eating the seeds, and didn't even hear him coming. Not that it was supposed to, of course. When he got closer to the mouse, Duskclaw leaped and caught his prey. It didn't even squeal as his jaws carefully clamped on its body. Almost at once the warrior tasted the juicy mouse, and made his mouth water. No, he reminded himself. The clan must be fed first. But as Duskclaw was about to head towards camp, he smelled cats. His clanmates seemed to be leisurely talking, but getting closer proved it false. They all seemed to be worried or frustrated by something, and he didn't like that. Not really. He wanted to make them in a more happier mood, instead of brooding over something. It seems like there was a secret gathering I wasn't invited to, he cheerfully said. But it was muffled by the prey he had in his jaws.

[atrb=background,http://i437.photobucket.com/albums/qq95/amanda1472/fi2.jpg] Firestar sighed. "If its the Twolegs then I wonder if we have anything to fear from it." Firestar thought about what would happen if the Twolegs came onto Rockclan territory. RockClan could possibly loose their territory, prey for sure. "Lead the way Hazecloud. I think I know where your talking about anyway." Firestar's tail lashed thoughtfully. Her mouth opened tasting the scent of the medicine cat and two of her warriors. Wait two warriors. The flame colored she cat recognized the smell almost instantly. Firestar was about to call out his name when he popped out of the grass himself. "It's not a secret now, is it?" she asked Duskclaw. Then she smiled. "No. It's not a Gathering. I was just checking the MarshClan border. I noticed they keep stealing our prey. Otherwise they have a few dozen careless mentors not looking after their apprentices. I was also trying to escape came for a little breathing space. It's fine for your leader to have sometime to herself, yes?" Firestar didn't seem to expect an answer but listened for one anyway. It would be nice to hear what they thought about that. Firestar thought. Sure she was being a little rebellious but it was the fire inside her. Firestar scented the air again, tasting this time the tansy that Moonfeather and Hazecloud and herself were looking for."Over here! I smell it!" Firestar gestured with her tail and marched on.

[atrb=background,http://i437.photobucket.com/albums/qq95/amanda1472/14.jpg] The she-cat smiled, Thank god ill get help, she nodded, glad some warriors new a few things about herbs, its a good things too in case she you know left before getting an apprentice.. She let that thought go as one of the warriors came by. ''Hello Duskclaw'', she dipped her head in respect, Moonfeather noticed how large their clan was becoming, some cats where new, while others well she wasn't just happy they where growing. Putting behind the fact that Marshclan could be gowning hungry, she shook her pelt, ready to get some herbs, plus she was glad Duskclaw got some prey! They would not go hungry tonight. Looking around she nodded, ''Alright lead the way. Oh Duskclaw would you like to come with us?''. She smiled at him, Moonfetaher was not the type of cat to leave someone behind or to be rude, well unless she had a reason to be. You know she treats you the way you treat her. But right now she needed all the help she can get, Tansy is low, so are other pants, but Tansy is the most needed you could say. Taking a step she picked up the rest of the Tansy she had gotten earlier, the where small and almost dead them selves. ------ OOC: Museless, 211 words.
