Fly

Echopool follows after Willowater, keeping her apprentice quite close to her. 

Wheatley frowned slightly and without hesitating, looked deeply into Hollyfire's eyes. "Then I'll join the clan. I'd do anything to be with you Hollyfire. If this is what you want, I'll do it. I have no one that will miss me anyway. I'm just a lost cat in strange world. I don't even really understand all these customs. But with you, I've found my sense of home. I want to be with you."

Hollyfire smiles softly "If you want to then, Besides, my mom always said 'Home is where your heart is....' I know mine is with yours." She murmers.

Willowwater looks back at Echopool "Do you smell that?"

Firepaw cocks his head to the side "Smell what? All i smell is gross fish water...." he scrunches up his face and sticks out his tounge.

Echopool nodded, only slightly ignoring her apprentices comment. "It smells like Hollyfire....and someone else." She mewed puzzled, glancing back at Willowwater.

Wheatley purred and rested his head on hers, bringing himself almost to tears about how perfect this was. "I always want to be with you. Nothing can stop that."

"Someone not from the clan?" Firepaw perks up and dashes twords Hollyfire and Wheatley.

Willowwater nods, frowning "She smelled like that when she came back into camp, late last night... "

Hollyfire lets out a soft purr "I dont ever want to be apart either..."

Wheatley purred and smiled, gazing down at her. "You won't have to." He was oblivious to Firepaw, only pausing as he heard him near. "Who is that..." He whispered, staying by her side. 

Echopool narrowed her eyes slightly and bounded after Firepaw, knowing he might get into trouble if the outsider decided to fight.

Hollyfire stiffens and puts up her icy walls to hide her emotions as Firepaw runs up to them "What are you doing on Wingclan teritorry?".His fur is puffed up and he trys looking big and tough.

Hollyfire narrows her eyes "Firepaw...."

Willowwater bounds past Echopool and looks at her with confusion.

Echopool growls and gets between Firepaw and the outsider. "Firepaw, stay out of this." She told him in a whisper and then turned towards the cat next to Hollyfire. "Who are you? What buisness do you have on Wingclan's territory?" She hissed, allowing Firepaw to stand by her side. 

Wheatley puffed up his fur in a slight show of nerves, not used to all this hostility. "I.....I wanted to join your clan." He sputtered, starting to gain some confidence. 

"Back down Echopool, He is with me." Hollyfire gently presses herself up agaist Wheatley and smiles.

Willowwater gasps "You two are mates!"

Firepaw frowns "I thought Hollyfire didnt have a heart...."

(oh no Firepaw didn't. He is going to get paw slapped )

Wheatley gave a nodd and gazed back over at Hollyfire, showing her a smile that was only for her. Hearing what Firepaw said, he bristled slight, knowing that it wasn't true. " Of course she does." He said, pressing into her closer. 

Echopool's fur started to lay flat, sighing as she glanced over to Willowwater. "Should we take them to camp?" She asked, knowing that it was her decision as the leader of the patrol.

Hollyfire blushes but wacks Firepaw lightly in his head.

"Sure, besides Hollyfire needs to pick up Mosspaw and start training her." Willowwater murmers thoughtfully.

Hollyfire smirks "That is the most inteligent thing you have ever said..." she smiles as Willowwater blushes and growls "At least Im not a creeper like Tangelfoot...." both Willowwater and Hollyfire shiver.

Wheatley gives a slight turn of his head in confusion but shrugs it off, glancing back over to Willowwater. "Lead the way, I guess." He say, not wanting to be apart from Hollyfire though.

"Firepaw," Echopool chided, laying her tail on his back. "Learn some manners. Or at least keep it to yourself."

Firepaw pouts "But she acts like a robot! Its like she has no emotions! "

Willowwater smiles and leads the way back to camp with Hollyfire right behind her.

"You don't have a right to judge her anyway! It isn't a nice thing to do." Echopool told him, sitting down by the stream. 

Firepaw frowns "But everyone else agrees! Like how everyone agrees that Tangelfoots super creepy!"

"Hollyfire may seem like that but you know....you should get to know them first before you say such things. I'm glad she found someone that makes her happy." Echopool told him with finality, glancing back down at the stream.

Firepaw nods but frowns "ok...."

Copperpaw bounds into the clearing, "Hey, did i miss something?" She asked her mentor. "Hey, were'd Willowwater go?" She asked her face cunfused.

Firepaw looks over at Copperpaw "She whent back to camp with Hollyfire and some loner thats Hollyfires mate or something....."

Echopool sighed softly and looked down at the stream, knowing what to do. "How about we fish?" She asked, knowing that it might get all their minds off of it. 

Firepaw scrunches up his face "Ewww.... but dont fish smell and the go to the bathroom in the water....Bleh" he sticks his tounge out in discust.
