in a thicket of woods near the border...

First topic message reminder :

applekit wanders into the clearing out of the nursery bored. and crosses to a thickey of woods when nocat is looking. she sighs and starts grooming herself but not very well.

She froze, Oh no! she thought, She must have picked up my scent! I'd better find a way to distract her! She ducks, staying still.

OOC: Try to make your posts 30+ words, please. ;)

Ashstar took a few silent steps forward, still down in the hunting crouch in case there really was a rabbit close by. Still not finding anything, she began to get suspicious. Had one of her clanmates eaten a rabbit out here, instead of taking it back to the clan? That could be one explanation, or there could really be a rabbit. Finally, she decided to take her chances and walk towards the spot where the smell seemed to be the strongest, which was right towards Silver. She didn't here any scuffling of tiny paws, which meant there couldn't be a live rabbit in that area.

OCC: Sorry won't happen again

Her heart beats rapidly in fear, She cannot see me, yet she smells me. If she finds out I trespassed she will have my pelt! Gulping, she thought of an escape plan, I could easily outrun her, for a short while... She yowls in frustration and covers her mouth with her tail, Did I just do that?! she screamed in her head.

Her ears pricked as a yowl rang out in the air, easily knowing what species it was. That's no rabbit... that's a cat. She narrowed her eyes; Ashstar was not very fond of trespassers, just as almost any cat would be if an unknown cat came onto their territory. "Show yourself." Ashstar meowed clearly, her muscles tensing. You can never be too sure whether the trespasser will be hostile or not, she reminded herself, keeping a close eye on her surroundings with her ears in the air, to catch any noise that erupted from the cat.

(Beware: Silver has a British accent! XD)

Her fur rises as she makes an attempt to make herself appear larger, she growls, as she leaps out of her hiding spot. The moonlight shines on her short fur , giving it a shining appearance, her muscles tense, ready to bolt if the Clan Cat proved to be hostile, "Sorry for intruding...."

Ashstar turned her head towards the cat, unaffected by her sudden appearance. "Why did you come into my Clan's territory? The border was recently marked, so you surely could make out that this is not loner territory." she asked stiffly, a frown placed upon the cat's muzzle. She could tell that this loner probably meant no harm, but she shouldn't even have been on their territory in the first place.

She sighed lightly. "This is DuskClan. I lead this clan." Ashstar meowed to the rouge, unwilling to reveal much about her clan. They could never be too sure, especially when the rouge was the one to trespass. "Now, go back to your territory. You shouldn't be here, so be sure to not come back." the silverish gray cat said.

She nodded, her eyes flickered with curiosity, "Goodbye then." Not looking back, she turned around ,and padded back into her territory. She did not stop until she reached the yew bush of which is her den.
