Wrenpaw

Ain't no use in tryin' to slow me down...

A young she-cat sat at the entrance of the tribe cave, within the boundaries the cave-guards felt was acceptable. Her yellow-green eyes were hazy as she stared off at something invisible in the distance. The once scenic valley that the clan cats had called home was no more. A great rumbling had ripped through the land, destroying almost everything in it's path as the Earth tore open. It was like something out of a nightmare come to life. Prey ran in fear, cats went missing, the clans all had to join to seek safety among the Tribe. It was all total chaos. And as the valley calmed itself once more, that's when reality really hit the clans. Their homes were now a mere memory, the land now shaped and molded differently then before. Families realized who among their kin were missing. And the cats that were once leaders set to trying to figure things out, working together to determine the next move. Starclan was less than social at this time, their sacred Moon Tree among the places ravaged by the quake. It was all something a young cat like herself never could have imagined in her lifetime.

Wrenpaw was among the many that had already overcome the initial shock of it all shortly after arriving in the cave but there remained this empty void in her mind. Many of her family had gone missing during the disaster, including her own mother. And while her and Shadepool were constantly against one another, she couldn't help but experience that empty feeling when one loses a parent. Shadepool was the reason she was brought into this world and now she was gone. She would never see that look of disappointment and disdain on her mother's face anymore. She wouldn't have a reason to rebel as hard as she once had. And she wouldn't get to hear the huff every time the higher ups made a call she didn't like. Wrenpaw snorted at the thought of her mother criticizing everyone for thinking it's ok to mingle with other clans. Huffing about all the "pure bloods" lost to Starclan. Her mother would have caused a bunch of unneeded stress on everyone she possibly could. But while there were many things she did not like about her mother, she had to admit that Shadepool had a lot of moxie. She made her opinion known regardless of who or what it put her against. She was a great loss for the clan, despite her intolerant ways.

The charcoal tabby sighed. So what would happen now?

Cause you're runnin' with the fastest girl in town

It's awful but I was trying to get something out there since I haven't been able to really roleplay Wren.}

"Kindness being someone who makes others feel like a somebody." ~Tigerpaw

Chaos had such a strange way of implicating it into the lives of the clans. Between the wildlife that hunted them in their territory to the lack of prey in the area during season change. Mother nature was not always kind to them but Starclan felt as if they abandoned the clans as soon as the first rumbling began and the earth beneath their paws shattered and cracked. He was lucky his family made it out alright but there were others who were not so lucky. They'd lost some good cats. Friends and family members even if they were not blood were still part of the clan as a whole and a chip that got knocked out of the hearts of those who knew them. Tigerblaze had been one of those who stayed behind to gather the kits with the help of the apprentices while others went ahead. In the chaos he'd seen others fall and a part of him wanted to fall with them. He could not imagine how the other clans had began to feel as their world was flipped and twisted upside down at the same time as his was. He did not know a lot of the other clan cats personally but he could see the devastation and fear in their eyes as one by one the clans joined the Tribe for shelter. Such heartbreak in the hearts of many cat that huddled around. He could just see they had gone through some rough stuff on their escape here. 

But they were coping slowly. Bending together mostly but some dared to reach out to others of the opposite clans in hopes of guidance, comfort, or friendship. Tigerblaze had not seen the need for boundaries as they were all here from the same reasoning although he respected them for those who obviously did not approve or care for cross clan interactions. That still did not stop him from reaching out to others in any form of kindness that they needed whether it was a kind word here, a conversation to help ease anxiety there or even bringing food back. He did not exclude anyone that he found even if his presence was not welcomed. He knew he was walking on thin ice with some. As today though his tired mind needed a break from the extra stimulation that his over energize body and personality afforded. 

He'd seen her sitting by herself at the face of the cave earlier on his way in from a hunting trip and decided that he'd go check up on her. He was quiet as he sidled up to her. Allowing a tail's width of space between them in case she was not up for company. He did not say much at first merely sitting there staring at the view before allowing his voice to speak up to break the silence. "Can I ask what is on your mind? Or are you in not the mood to wish for company right now? I can leave if you'd refer?" he offered glancing down at her to gauge her reaction to his presence.

Wrenpaw. She was not too much younger than himself if he recalled. He did not talk to her much but he'd seen her around the Tribe area. Too many cats to think see and talk to in his opinion but he'd make his rounds. Wrenpaw did not fall under those he'd interacted with so far. But could you blame the young tom when he was some of the very few that attempted to keep the spirits up in the clan in hopes that they could live together peacefully for the time being as their leaders and authority figures sought out a new life for them? And he did this without so much as a thank you or seeking out for gratitude. He was tired though but his mind would not let him rest. As he sat there with the dark furred molly he wondered if she was one of those who'd lost some family during the earthquake? He wanted to ask as his mind was too jumbled to even remember clearly all the names of those in his own clan let alone others; a side affect of his trauma he supposed. 

"Sorry for the intrusion it's just...you don't seem okay." he added softly with a furrowed brow as he leaned a little so that he could get a look of her face. A worried expression on in his dark orange gaze as he stared at her.

Wrenpaw

Ain't no use in tryin' to slow me down...

The she-cat continued to sit like a poised statue at the cave entrance. Her gaze stayed off in the distance still as she felt a weird tingle in her fur. She didn't turn her head to look but it felt as though someone had come up beside her. Probably just some older Stoneclan cat wanting to apologize for her loss or a relative coming to tell her off as they typically do.

"Can I ask what is on your mind? Or are you in not the mood to wish for company right now? I can leave if you'd refer?"

The charcoal she-cat's ears swiveled a bit at the sound of a tom's voice speaking to her. There was a familiarity to the voice, someone that she had probably seen around camp before no doubt. That or maybe it was a cat she overhead while here at the tribe. Not that one would be able to distinguish one voice from another in this place. So many cats talking at once, on top of the echo, made it hard to focus on one voice or conversation.

"I don't mind the company." Wrenpaw spoke up, still staring at the outside world. "There was just so much that happened, its kind of hard to comprehend everything." Yellow-green eyes turned to see who exactly she was speaking to. About a tails-length away sat an orange and white tabby tom , his amber eyes watching her with clear concern on his face. It took a moment for the she-cat to recognize him as one of her own clan, Tigerblaze. He was a young warrior, not much older than herself, but she couldn't remember ever really talking to him before. It was more of a seeing each other in passing sort of situation. Even so, she welcomed the company of the younger cat. She wasn't in the mood to hear what any of the older cats would have to say to her at this moment.

"I lost a lot of my family in all this craziness." She said, deciding to open about what was on her mind. She was less afraid of being judged or scolded by the tom.

Tigerblaze - 25 Moons - Gorgeclan

"Kindness being someone who makes others feel like a somebody." ~Tigerblaze

She was fighting something inside of herself. Something that he couldn't see. Perhaps she merely was tired or it could have been worse than that and she struggled with coming to terms with the disaster that wrecked all the lives of the cats of the forest. Many from all clans had lost someone dear to them whether it be a leader source or someone from the members of a family. No one was spared the disaster that the earthquake had created. Even those who had not lost a life of a member they cared about still lost their home. Many struggled with the concept of the unknown. What could still be out there waiting beyond the horizon scared all of them. More than most would like to express in case they seemed weak. The ginger tom sat there calmly staring out at the scene in front of them as he waited patiently for her to speak. He didn't want to push if she didn't want his company or his comfort. He easily enough could scuttle off to find someone else of needing some brightening of their day by whatever good deed he had the strength to do for them. His strength was waning though and the longer he sat there waiting the more tired he realized he had become. Not just physically; the still hung over his head from lack of sleep much like others in an unfamiliar camp. But he was wary of his soul as well. Wanting to do more than he was capable of; more than any of them had the ability to do right now in their condition.

When Wrenpaw finally spoke up his ears twitched; shifting towards the sound of her voice even when his dark amber gaze didn't leave the vast sky ahead of him. Her words echoed those of the same he'd heard said in varies of ways in expression of distress. No one knew how to handle it and that was what was worse about it. They were all scrambling for some sort of security and promise that they would be okay; lost in the world of the unknown was such a scary place. A part of him wondered if it was Starclan's way of teaching them a lesson. His chin tipped up and down a few times in understanding as she finally confessed her troubles to him. He always did have that sort of air about him; allowing others to spill their feelings to him, with empathy that he held he always found it harder and harder the more he used his energy to help people with their distresses, well at least as late so his mind was quick to echo her verbal thoughts of the struggle she faced getting used to what was going on. 

"I get that..." Tigerblaze mumbled with sympathy. "I wish I could ease everyone's stress but I know it's not in my power to do so...everyone lost so much due to this whether friends, family, or simply their home." he added turning his gaze towards the smokey furred molly. 

His gaze was a little dull at first as they looked at her; seemingly lost in his own thoughts and feelings towards her statement but they soon sharpened on her features and he tipped his head to the side; his face lighting up a little bit as he spoke. 

"But it'll be okay...We just have to have faith that everything will turn out alright for us. This isn't the end of the world even if it seems like it is right now. We will mourn those we lost but they will forever be in our memories and they will watch over us as they guide us to our new home right?" he said. 

Did he seem a little too calloused to her feelings? He'd done too many speeches and words of comfort and encouragement that it sort of came as a habitual phase for him. But even when his words came from his maw his heart felt the heaviness of the situation.

"I wish I could help more...but right now we only know so much of what's going to go on. The leaders are still working out a plan. With the Tribe's help of course. We will get back on our feet but in the meantime. We gotta keep strong; we are all we have left of each other right now after all." he said softly and looked across at the territory below them. 

"My dad once told me before he passed when I was just a kit that home isn't a place that we live in...it's the people that we hold dear that are around us. Help, supporting, and even those who suffered with us. Home can be anywhere...and though our camp was destroyed and our territory lost. The world is big enough for us to find us a new home. As long as we stick together; anywhere can be home for us." he stated shrugging lightly and looked down at her to see what she was thinking. 

He studied her face wondering if perhaps he'd gone too far. Perhaps this was not what she had in mind when agreeing to his company. She'd heard it all before by others no doubt. He sighed and crouched down. Tucking his legs under him as he sat beside her. "If it's any consolation Wrenpaw. You have every right to feel the way you do. It's just how you have to decide to push forward is the next step." he said.
