[XxSilverxX]

A deaf black and white dappled tom with amber eyes padded into the Sandy Fields. Tan crystals found their way into the tom's black pawpads, and the deaf tom Smallstreak gave a quiet sigh.

Silverpaw...

His ears pricked as he listened to his mind.

What's going on? Something seems totally off and wrong now.

[Brightspirit]

Brightspirit padded through the sand. She'd been out hunting, but so far has been unsuccessful in catching anything. Her ears then pricked as she scented another cat nearby. It didn't take her long to identify the cat as Smallstreak. She soon spotted the small black-and-white tom not that far away. She padded over to the tom and stood in front of him.

"Hi Smallstreak." she mewed, flicking her tail on his shoulder in case he didn't already noticed her. Her eyes grew in concerned as she noticed the worried expression on his face. "Are you okay? Is something wrong" she asked, hoping that he can understand her.

[XxSilverxX]

"Huh? Oh, um, um, uh, no, not, nothing at all!" Smallstreak stammered in a rush, "Just a, uh, umm... thinking!"

He had a plastic grin on his face, but the truth was that he was growing something like an affection towards Silverpaw. It was odd. Love was totally different from his happy-go-lucky personality.

Silverpaw was really excited. Rainstorm had said that she could have the afternoon off to go and hunt with Smallstreak! She was just about to go look for him in the camp when she saw him talking to Brightspirit. She padded over to them.

"Hi Smallstreak! Hi Brightspirit. Smallstreak, Rainstorm said I could come hunting with you this afternoon. Brightspirit, you can come too if you want." she said but she secretly didn't want her to come.

[Brightspirit]

Brightspirit giggled at Smallstreak's quick, yet stuttered, explaination. She knew there was something he wasn't telling her, but she didn't press the matter, though she was very curious. Just then she saw Silverpaw coming over to them and asking to go hunting. "Hi Silverpaw. And sure, I'll be glad to join you. I really need to catch something before going back to camp."

[XxSilverxX]

Smallstreak rolled his amber eyes and snorted playfully.

"Really need? Pah, I have to run into a tree each time I'm on patrol."

Silverpaw felt a pang of anger in her heart when she heard Brightspirit say that she was coming with them. But then she remembered that she had invited her. Inwardly, she cursed her big mouth. Her usually bright eyes instantly dimmed. "Well we better get going then!" she said.

[Brightspirit]

"Well, I don't like returning to camp from hunting emptied-paw. Though I've always been told that you don't always get lucky every trip." She mewed quickly, a bit embarrass. Whenever she comes back form hunting with no success, she always feels like she failed her Clan. Which she knows it's a stupid thing to think of. "So where should we begin hunting? I've already been through that way with no success." She flicked her tail in the direction in which she had just been.

[XxSilverxX]

"You only had bad luck hunting because I was around!" Smallstreak teased, but not in a flirtatious way. In fact, he had no idea how to flirt - it was for the she-cats, wasn't it?

[LJ Black]

Silverpaw didn't know why but she felt hurt. Was it because Smallstreak seemed to be paying more attention to Brightspirit than to her? She didn't know. She felt something for Samllstreak, something more than friendship, but she didn't know what that meant. Her tail thrashed back and forth furiously before she could stop herself. "On second though, I'm a little tired. Maybe you two should go without me."
