Xander smiled. "I liked the view of the stars on the moors" he mewed. "I visited the clan territories many times."

Wildeyes grinned slightly.
"Huh, that must have been a sticky situation if you ran into Clanners. I remember livin' on the moors in WindClan. Ain't much freedom in it really." She meowed.

"I never ran into any clan cats" he mewed. "I learned the times of patrols and kept out of the main paths" he added.

Wildeyes blinked. She was confused for a moment, and then she remembered. I'm not a Clan cat anymore. She thought sadly. It was true, she had hated the bondage that had come along with being a WindClanner, but she had loved the company and the purpose. Now she just felt isolated and insignifigant. If only, if only...
"I reckon you don't have much of a high opinion of the Clanners, huh?" She asked, tilting her head to the side a little.

"There's been times I've thought about joining the clans" he mewed. "I always wondered what clanlife was like." "Why did you leave WindClan?" he asked looking puzzled.

"I... well, I guess I didn't want to hurt them. When rumors reach one's ears sometimes one starts believing them, even if once it was ridiculous to think that sort of thing was true of onself. I've accepted what I've supposedly become, and I've lived alone these past seasons 'cause of that acceptance." Wildeyes meowed, her eyes sad. Sometimes she wished she could be carefree, sure-pawed Cloudpaw again. She'd give anything, she though, just to see the sky like she had when the world was bright.

Xander nodded, he understood. "Rumours hurt" he mewed. "But then again, if you were in WindClan, I wouldn;t have met such a pretty she-cat" he said.

Wildeyes smiled.
"Ah, shucks, thanks a ton! You're not s'bad lookin' yerself!" She mewed, blushing and twiddling her paws. Her speech was obviously effected by her mood. It was a little trick she'd learned from an eccentric old tom she'd known once.

Xander smiled. He liked this she-cat, she was different, the good different. "Thanks" he mewed blushing.

Wildeyes yawned widely and then stopped, eyeing him closely with suspicious purple-blue eyes.
"You sure are like them Clan cats. Sure ya never met one of 'em?" She asked. He did remind her of someone, but even thinking his name made her sad...

Xander nodded. "Well I've met a few, some friendly, some not" he mewed. "But a few words were said when they escorted me out of their territory" he added,

Wildeyes nodded.
"Yah, s'long as ya don't mean no harm they won't do ya no wrong y'know." She meowed, smiling a little in contemplation.

Xander nodded. "Most were kind" he mewed. "ShadowClan carts nearly clawed my fur off" he mewed.

Wildeyes snorted with laughter.
"Yah, they ain't the nicest. But y'know, they have their finer points." She said, smiling crookedly. He really is pretty good looking, actually. And he's so much like...

Xander grinned. He had made her laugh. He took a deep breath. "I really like you" he mewed.

Wildeyes - dense as ever, it would seem - smiled and flicked her tail happily.
"Aw, thanks, that's sweet. You seem like a nice cat, too." She purred.

Xander just smiled, he was confused. Apparently she didn't get it. He took another deep breath, "I love you" he mewed.

Wildeyes blinked and looked at him through narrowed eyes. What did he mean, love? She looked down at her paws, trying to remember...
"Hey, Checkerpaw, wait up!" Cloudpaw panted, stumbling over a small root. She lay sprawled out on her belly, her legs spread out in all directions, her long tail lying forlornly behind her. She blew dust from her eyes and sighed sadly.
"What's wrong, sis?" Checkerpaw asked, licking her gently and helping her get up. She sighed and leaned against him.
"I don't like running all the time. Why can't we just rest every once in awhile?" She complained.
"We're WindClanners, silly. That's just how we work." Checkerpaw laughed.
"Yeah, I guess..." She sighed.
"Hey, don't feel so bad. Our mentors won't care. C'mon, wearypaws." He chuckled.
"Checkerpaw..."
"You're so funny, Cloudpaw. I love it. It makes things interetsing." Checkerpaw mused. Cloudpaw looked at him, her purple-tinted eyes widening. He laughed and soon she joined in. The two trotted along after their mentors, their tails twined and their fur brushing.
"I love you, Checkerpaw." Cloudpaw murmured, sighing. He looked down at her and smiled, purring.
"Love you, too, sis."
It wasn't the same. Wildeyes knew that. The love she had shared with her brother had been a different sort than the feelings Xander had towards her, and perhaps the ones she held towards him. She felt different when she was around him. He made her feel... like she was worth something again. She looked at him and blinked curiously.
"You hardly know me. What could you love about me?" She asked, confused. Everything was just so... She froze. A familiar scent wafted to her on the breeze. She shook her head, though. You're just crazy. He's dead. Wildeyes told herself.

Xander smiled. He pondered the question for a few moments. "I just love you" he mewed. "Love is a difficult thing to define" he added.

Wildeyes looked at him and then frowned. Where had she heard that before...? Her mind buzzed with the memories, the faces, that one smile in particular...
"Why is all this happening?" Cloudpaw asked with a sigh, staring out into the horizon as ShadowClan cats lined up before them, poised for battle. Growls and snarls filled the air, making her head hurt. She turned to her brother and saw a soft smile spread across his handsome face.
"It just is, Cloudy. That's sometimes just how things work. They just are."
The last ringings of his voice in her mind plauged her. That had been the last time she'd seen him, his crooked smile and glowing eyes. She remembered him as he had been then... leaping out into battle, his tail streaming behind him and his wild yowl filling the air as he leaped onto the ShadowClan invaders. Wildeyes missed him terribly. And they had never found a trace of him. No body, nothing... She looked at Xander and smiled.
"I think I understand." She murmured. She looked at him intently and wondered what she felt. Did she love him? She felt something... But was it love?
"And I think... maybe... I somehow feel the same. I'm not sure... I've never felt much after..." Her voice trailed off and her expression changed from a soft, happy look to one of despair. After my brother dissapeared and I went completely insane... She thought sadly.
