The shifting sky showed the tell-tale signs of a hot day to come- clouds sparse and quickly dispersing out of the range of the morning sun as if fearful of it. They ran scattered to the wind and with every passing moment, the bird itched to fly and be free. Perched at the sandy edge of their safe haven, pale, prying eyes scanned the horizon as if searching for a sign. A warning... Anything. The wind whistled, it brushed past the new shape of how their figure had been marred and it felt like daggers were in the breeze... it was uncomfortable... it all felt wrong. Plucked of feathers and left to flutter away... laughing.
Their skin crawled.... it had felt like ants had lived in their pelt every since.
Finally free from the hypnotizing stare towards the sun's rise, its blinding light became too much to bare as they turned to look away, basking in the first few rays in silent consideration.
Everything felt wrong. RiverClan felt wrong. It wasn't lost on them... But it didn't matter. Shaking out their coat as if to remove the feeling of creeping hands that crept along their back, the pointed cat saw the familiar figure of a friend fast sleep through one of the dens... probably soon to be harassed by two well-meaning scraps that constantly vied for his attention but-
Without thinking their paws moved across the dusty ground towards his side, glancing over the dozing tom with a small frown to herself. It would be rude to wake him... right? Instead, they opted to lay down behind him, tucking their paws and patiently waiting, head lowered to rest there as their tail flicked back and forth. Pikesplash wasn't a late sleeper surely... He'd be up soon and they could finally bother him to talk.
She'd noticed his awkward behaviors... He'd understand. Besides.
She owed him a lecture.
