Resting with the Spirits

[Frankie]

Spiderpaw spotted the Island through the bushes, and made his way to the water of the river. It bubbled quietly as it flowed over the pretty brown and black pebbles, and Spiderpaw dipped a large paw in the water. It wasn't too cold. In fact, considering it was leafbare, it was quite warm.

He slid smoothly into the water, paddling his paws in the water and swimming towards the island. He pulled himself onto the muddy shore and lay on his side, panting from the exertion. He closed his eyes and could almost hear the voices of the old, long passed guards as he rested, his flanks rising and falling as he breathed.

Sandpaw looked out of the corner of his eye, "Spiderpaw?" he meowed. "Where did he go." He spotted a few paces of footprints, footprints turned into spans, and spans turned into... "The Guard's Island?" Suddenly he spotted his friend on the other side of the water, in some kind of a daze from his view. "Spiderpaw, what are you doing?" He shouted across the water from where he was.

[Frankie]

Spiderpaw lifted his head, his green/pink eyes half closed contentedly, "I'm only resting, Sandpaw, don't worry." he called across the river to his friend. "Come on over, it's peaceful here." he suggested with a smile before laying his head back down and closing his eyes again.

[Bleys]

"Okay," Sandpaw said as he waded through the water carefully, you never know being his favorite motto. When he got there, he looked around, and then laid himself down calmly. "You're right, he purred softly, "It is nice here." Then he got up, hearing a cracking in the bushes, he dashed into them. When he returned, he came with a vole that had it's spine mysteriously broken, he set it down next to where they lay, knowing it to be against the rules to eat kill outside of the camp.

[Frankie]

Spiderpaw raised his head as his friend disappeared into the bushes and returned with a vole, "Nice kill." he purred, his tail curling. He slowly got to his feet, "I'm in the mood for something, I don't know what. I keep feeling that something big is going to happen..."

[Bleys]

"I would be careful with a feeling like that?" Sandpaw said "Have you thought of going to the leader of the clan, or the medicine cat?" Then he felt a little anxious all of a sudden, for no reason, must be the excitement of that last remark from Spiderpaw, he thought to himself to calm himself.

[Frankie]

Spiderpaw smiled sadly, "I'm just an apprentice, leaders and medicine cats don't listen to apprentices." he said with a small shrug, "It's okay, it's just a feeling, it'll go away soon." he said. He flicked his tail, "What do you say we go out hunting? It'll take our mind off things." he said with a smile.

[Bleys]

"Well, I'm sure that they would listen to you, even if your an apprentice." Sandpaw assured him, "I bet if it was for something that big." He looked down quietly, staring into the water, and suddenly, he began to get the same feeling too. "Yeah, maybe your right." Sandpaw said. "I think that there might be something weird about this place." He rose and started through the water.

[Frankie]

Spiderpaw stood also, his muscles rippling under his sleek pelt. ((Haha, hunk kitty! XD)) He started off after Sandpaw, his ears pricked for danger. "Where to, then?" he asked in a calm voice, "Hunting?" he suggested, starting to swim as the water got deeper.

[Bleys]

Sandpaw paused to think for a moment "I'll meet you at... the Twoleg den in an hour. Sound good? I'm sure we could catch some prey there." He looked down at his paws as they rippled through the water, expanding and contracting at every second. "We could have an adventure there for sure." Yes, he thought to himself, an adventure.

[Frankie]

Spiderpaw nodded with a smile as he reached the opposite shore, "I'll see you then." he said with a nod before turning and disappearing into the brush, his tail curling contentedly.
