Beep, beep. Circus' frosted pine-paws traced the line between the oddly sticky, smooth asphalt surface of the Thunderpath to her right and the drying leaf-fall grass to her left. Whenever a monster would pass, marked by the hissing sound of its fast approach, she would pause and look over, watching its glistening coat flash in the sunlight before whirring past at a dangerously high speed. She's been following the trail of this road for days now, although she couldn't entirely remember how long—it hardly mattered. It wasn't as if she had anyone to return to back at home anymore. She was alone.
Circus smiled, and then grinned, her paws crossing each-other with every step. Her tail waved behind her for balance as she tried her best to walk in perfect single-file on the little bump separating the asphalt from the forest. She was all alone, all alone, with nobody at all to tell her what to do.
Another monster passed, and she paused again, looked over again, and the cheer wiped itself away from her face in a brief moment of timidity. Once the way was safe once more, she went back to her balancing act, giggling and mumbling to herself the whole way down.
The icy-eyed molly hadn't always been alone, though.
Once upon a time, she had a mom. And then a no-fur got her.
Once upon a time, she had a friend. And then the rats came.
Once upon a time, she had a lover, too. And then...
Another monster. Circus paused. Her smile disappeared. This time, as she stared into its red back-eyes as it grew further and further away, her smile didn't return. She was suddenly all too aware of the way the chains weighed down on her neck and tugged on the little furs caught between them with every inhale. The dangling chain's end swung uncomfortably close to the ground. Even though she knew that she was safe, Circus could still feel the way the chains would tighten around her throat every time he dragged her along. A little choke with every tug.
"And now I'm all alone..." No, too gloomy! Brighten up, brighten up! Circus shook her head violently enough to make the chains rattle, and then quickened her pace to a cheerful skip down the edge of the Thunderpath. Without any real consideration for the other creatures that may be in the area, her volume rose to somewhere in-between a sing and a scream. "I'm all alone, I'm all alone, I'm all alone, I'm all alone! I'm alone 'cause I was disowned, but now I'm all grown, so I can run and sing and SCREAM into the unknown! Since I'm a-lone and now de-throned, I don't con-done the eating of bones!!"
Wow! She was so good at rhyming! A squeal of delighted laughter erupted from the molly as she rolled over onto her back, stretched out in the grass with her hind legs kicking excitedly above her. Who knew rhyming could be so fun!
// circus is currently walking south along the thunderpath towards clan territory - if she crossed the thunderpath she'd be in shadowclan, but if she kept going straight she'd be in thunderclan <3
