At Nightfall

[ღEbonyღ]

Wind blew through the territory. Shadows danced on the ground, painting the shapes of trees, bushes, and other natural growth moving in time to the gust. A stream nearby chuckled cheerfully, a peaceful sound. Yet the sound was almost haunting, as it was the only thing to be heard. It was quiet, just as it should be in the evening hours. Crickets were yet to chirp, not as smart as the birds that had already quieted and settled down for the night.

Nightfall came swiftly upon the Forest's Edge. The moonlit river swirled in a distant matter just as a gray tabby was feeling. Blue pools looked up at the stars in wonder as to why he had come here. Her ears went down at the thought of being so selfish to this gang cat. The scar that went all across her flank because of a battle with the other gang, the Lions, why was she here. Ebony just wanted to go for a moonlit stroll, and ended up at the Forest's Edge, one of her favorite places. She shook her head. Ebony should of told one of the other Betas that she was going out to take a walk or something, but decide not to, for she didn’t want to wake any of them. Her gray tabby fur bristled at the thought of the other Betas waking up, to her leaving the den, and lying to them about where she was going. Ebony’s tail twitched as she began searching for an answer, within herself

It seemed like hours since Birdcat had left the Shark's camp, but it had only been a mere hour. Time seemed to slow down as his blue eyes stared at the Heavens above. He would of stayed upon that roof top all night and watched as the sun faded away the gray night. But one thing drove him away from his perch, a low growl within himself; he was hungry. So Birdcat had come to the forest, one of the best places to hunt, or at least in his opinion. It didn't take the cat long to find and kill a good sized mouse. After finishing his meal he rested under a low bush, licking his paws in a rhythmic motion. Satisfied with removing all of the mouse's blood, he curled up into a ball and drifted off to sleep.

Birdcat's nose twitched as he was enjoying a good, prey filled, dream when his good ear gave a slight flick. With a small growl, he opened his eyes and stood up. After a few stretches, the cream colored cat walked out of the bush with a yawn. He had to blink a few times, but sure enough just a few feet in front of him stood the gray pelt of Ebony. "Shikikan?" Birdcat asked, turning his head slightly to the left, "What are you doing here, Shikikan?" Blue tail tip flicked in confusion, what was the Shikikan, the commander, of the Betas doing here.

(do ya think I should change my RP color? I think the white blinds you >.<)
