It was still early morning, but the sun had already risen into the sky. It's gentle golden light shone down on the forest, penetrating the tightly packed branches of the old trees and streaming down in shafts to the forest floor below. Caught in the almost heavenly glow of the light was a lean, light-pelted tom cat. His rich brown fur caught the sun's light, glowing a lighter shade, the chocolate colored stripes clearly visible. His amber eyes flickered around as he scanned his surroundings, searching for any sign of prey. Ever since the warmer seasons had arrived the prey seemed to be harder and harder to find.
A twig cracked to the right of Stripefur, the quiet noise coming from one of the thick clumps of bushes. The tom immediately turned his attention toward the sudden sound, all senses alert. For a moment his eyes gleamed hopefully. However, he soon discovered that it was only the wind. His tail drooped a little and he swished it from side to side in annoyance. Stripefur stood where he was for a moment, an unreadable expression on his face. He soon moved on, shrugging his shoulders forward in a dismissive way.
It wasn't just the disappearance of prey that had changed around here. There were so many other things, oh so many other events and occurences that had shaped his life. What had happened to change all of this? He remembered when life had been so easy; remembered when he had been a kit. The only worry in world seemed to have been who could catch the biggest rabbit. But, that's just how it was; things changed little by little. Whether it was for the best or worst? The tom cat didn't know.

(I thought Stripefur was a silver tabby. That's why we had Stormkit and Slverkit)
I still don't know what I was waiting for
It was a sad and depressing day for a walk. The shadows of the thick canopy loomed over her and the air around her was chilly and full of gloom. Her world had turned bleak and she could only see the negative of every halcyon picture. Nothing cheered her up and her life promised to be melancholy. She had become sucluse and quiet; never uttering a word but to her mother, sister, medicine cat, and leader. Nearing the proximity of the boarder with Windclan didn't bother her. She strolled on without a care in the world. If she was caught and killed, it would put an end to her misery.
And my time was running wild
It shocked her when a twig cracked underneath her paw. She sallied up the nearest tree now becoming out of sight. Providentially her caution was not in vain for a Windclan tom heard and deviated his attention to where she had been just seconds before. When he found it to be nothing and continued on his way, the spotted tabby peaked her head out from the foliage. He seemed quite familiar, but she was tentative to get a closer look. Her curiosity was stronger than her fear though. She soon found herself capering from branch to branch of the trees above the tom.
A million dead-end streets

(( Gah. I don't remember... O.O It probably was silver. I just couldn't remember; it's been so long since I've RPed with him! ))
Stripefur continued on his way, completely oblivious to the fact that he was being followed. He was too distracted to hear the faint cracking of the bark on the dried branches as the she-cat wove her way along the treetops. His eyes were directed straight ahead, focused on something unseen.
Stripefur's stance had once been strong and elegant. No one was watching now; he didn't care. His shoulders were slumped forward as if he were carrying a heavy weight, his tail drooping and dragging along the ground slightly as he walked.
However, soon he became aware of eanother presence. When his thoughts all circled around and came to and end, he was certain he heard something. He walked on for a few moments longer, pretending he thought he was still alone. Yes. There it was. The pawsteps. Dainty and quiet. He came to an abrupt halt and whirled around. The scent of RiverClan hit him strong now. How hadn't he noticed it before?
Who's there?" he snarled, eyes scanning the premises for the unseen threat.

Every time I thought I'd got it made
She was intrigued by his ignorance. Like she would, after the trouble of following him without making a sound, just tell him who she was and where she was hiding! It was ridiculously insane! Instead she ended up cocking her head to one side and perking her ears, watching as he searched for a sign of her. The spotted cat wasn't worried though. It's not like he would actually ever see her unless she wanted him to. She was invisible to those other than her mother. Whilst crouching herself down with the suttle and disguised movements of a chameleon she never moved her eyes from their lock on the silver tabby that resembled much of the same features of someone she knew.
It seemed the taste was not so sweet
It was then that it hit her. He looked just like her brothers, Stormpaw and Silverpaw. Her mind was shocked, but her face showed nothing of it. Pictures and habits processed through her mind quickly as she subconsciously connected her father to the many things he had to do with her life, family, and youngest memories. So much made sense, but many questions remained. She would wait and think before revealing herself, but what she didn't know is that while using so much of her brainpower on thinking and connecting the cat before her to her life, she had let down her concentration on keeping herself virtually invisible, letting the tom get a quick glimpse of her.
So I turned myself to face me

The tom's eyes darted around rapidly, searching for the invisible threat. His ears were pricked up so that they would catch even the slightest rustle, eyes narrowed to get a better view of his surroundings. A few tuffs of his silvery striped fur stood on end on the back of his pelt as he inhaled the scent of an enemy clan.
That's when he remembered that he had once known a cat in RiverClan, once loved another from that opposing clan. His fur stopped bristling as he became caught up in the bitter-sweet memories. If he closed his eyes long enough he could still smell her sweet scent, hear her voice; Firenose. However, the nastalgic moment didn't last long. It had been ages since the tom had seen her, of course she wasn't here.
Just as Stripefur glanced back up, he caught a flash of fur out of the corner of his eye. I've got you now, he thought, eyes glued to the spot the fur had been. He padded beneath the overhanging trees, ears pinned back. "You might as well come out, I know you're up there," he growled quietly, just loud enough for the other cat to hear him. "We can do this the easy way or the hard way," he added. He doubted that he would actually scale the trees and chase the intruder through the canopy forest, but it sounded like a good threat.

But I've never caught a glimpse
Crap! How did he find me?! It must be our connection. It was astounding that her father had found her. They weren't around each other very much at all, and he obviously didn't know who she was or he wouldn't be talking to her the way he was. He didn't look like much of a climber though so she again she had no reason worries. She was lucky to not have much to worry about in life. She knew some cats that just could not relax.
Of how the others must see the faker
The tabby kept her constant vow of silenced words true, but that didn't stop her from sending out one of her most threatening and lethal hisks. It spoke for her when it easily translated to: "Leave me the freggin' alone before I tear you freggin' face off and kill the shiz outta you!" The atmosphere was silent and the air around them all of a sudden thin. She liked it like that. Now she was in control of the situation once again. She wasn't one to let that power slip from her easily.
I'm much too fast to take that test

Stripefur's sides rose and fell in a quiet sigh. He waited patiently for the intruder to reveal themself. That was one thing that he was good at, waiting. When others grew anxious and began to pace, Stripefur could sit still for anything; even the most stubborn vole that tried to wait him out by hiding in a hole. He stared up at the trees, tail swishing back and forth. He wondered if the other cat was a threat. He decided that whoever it was, anonymous probably wasn't, especially since they were still hiding themself in the tree tops.
Stripefur's ears pinned back as he heard the she-cat hiss down at him, hearing the venmon in the agressive sound. The tom narrowed his eyes, and he parted his mouth so the tips of his white fangs protruded from the corners of his mouth. "Come out, come out, wherever you are..." he growled quietly. His eyes were still locked with the cat's hiding place. "Stay up there and I'll just follow you, you'll have to come down sooner or later, hm?" Slight annoyance nipped at his voice, though his fur had now rested against his back calmly.

Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
The tabby wasn't going to let him get the better of her. He was, no doubt, just as stubburn as she was. He had shown it already and she certainly didn't get that trait from her mother. Now, most would solve their problems with a clash of tongues, not she. She would find her own unique way to deal with things. She always did. Now she started going through the possibilities.
(Turn and face the strain)
She could hiss again, a lotta good that'd do. The tom already had shown he could keep his cool. Furthermore, if she kept that up, he would be able to locate her exactly.
She could jump onto him, claws sheathed of course-he was an enemy, but he was her father, and she wasn't in her territory so she'd have no right to attack him anyway-but he wouldn't know to keep his claws sheathed. She could end up with some nasty wounds. It wasn't like he wasn't a trained warrior.
Then it came to her. Yes, the most elegant and indefectible plan. It would work out well.
Ch-ch-Changes
Having it fresh in her mind she went it over a few times as she moved slowly, silently, and completely intangibly away from her once current seat on the tree branch. Her movements took minutes; nothing would notice her evolution. It was literally impossible unless you were looking straight at her, closed your eyes for a minute or so, and then looked up again.
Once she was a few fox-lengths away from her original location, she padded on silently to where she knew her favorite tree to be. She plucked a matured cherry blossom from a twig and headed back to where she had come from using the same silent padding, and then almost motionless movements.
Don't want to be a richer man
The she-cat waited for a slight breeze to come by, and when it did, she gently let go of the little flower; carrying her fragrant scent along with it. It landed just at the foot of the Windclan tom. Now, she waited.
