Sunny Days [closed]

[Colourrrr]

C O L O U R C L O U D ;;

The sun shone brilliantly on the she-cat splayed out on a rock. The rock was near the edge of the 'bank' of the River, so it got quite a bit of sunlight. A dark cloud suddenly passed over the sun and Colourcloud growled, annoyed. "You're blocking my sun," she grunted, her long black tail flicking. Her brilliant mismatched eyes suddenly opened. She was supposed to be gathering herbs...she'd told some of her Clanmates that was what she was doing. She leaped to her paws, standing precariously on the edge of the riverledge. "Getting...herbs..." she mewed, panting. She quickly picked a few clumps of horsetail, then dropped them on the rock and flopped back down on it. "That's enough gathering herbs," she sighed, smiling and closing her eyes.

Ooc- lol, I know!




Jesmain trotted through the shady forest, following her friend, Colourcloud. The black cat had come to gather herbs, and instead of simply asking to come, she just decided to follow. Jesmain wouldn't exactly call it tracking, she had lost the trail several times due to... distractions.

She continued padding, wondering where her friend had gone this time. She was nearing the Gasping river, Ahhhh... Horsetail! She thought proudly. That was the only herb she knew of that grew in damp conditions. Ohhh.. wait! Coltsfoot... she started thinking of all the herbs that grew in wet or marshy conditions, letting her dancing thoughts wander.

But apparently she let them to loose. She became entranced with a beautiful blue butterfly, following it off the scent trail, into the more dense parts of the forest. No! That's what made you lose it last time! she disciplined herself sharply, veering back to the trail.

She came in veiw of the river, twirling and swirling in all it's glory. Jesmain had always liked rivers, they enchanted her. She saw her black friend lying, asleep, on a large rock. She smiled mischievously, leaping silently atop the rock. She perched herself infront of Colourcloud, leaning down. She whispered into the cats ears, brilliant eyes fixed on Colourcloud's eye-lids, waiting for them to open,

"So... slacking are we?"

Her mismatched eyes flew open just to see Jesmain's turquoise ones right there. She narrowed her eyes playfully and smirked. "No, just taking a break," she purred, and rose to her feet. Even then she was significantly smaller than her friend. "So, why are you out here?" She sat and gave her paw a couple of licks, then drew it over her ear. "Come to spy on me, or do you have a better reason?" She said it jokingly; Jesmain one of was Colourcloud's best friends.

A soft breeze blew and her horsetail drifted over the edge of the rock. "No!" she hissed, and caught it in her teeth just before it was about to fall into the Gasping River. Colourcloud sighed with relief; those were a few of the last clumps of horsetail left in the area, as she'd just picked the last. They'd grow back; but at the moment, she was extremely low on horsetail. "Come on, Jesmain; help me find more herbs," she mewed, and jumped off the rock to go look for herbs. She was also low on marigold and coltsfoot...there had to be some coltsfoot near here.

[short, again; but i have to go to bed. night <3]

Jesmain purred happily, she could see why the Medicine cat had fallen asleep, just sitting on the rock with the sun beating down on black fur was very... peaceful. Jesmain hated peaceful, she shrug the feeling off. That's why she was beginning to miss her old life, the clans were to peaceful! She sat enjoying the sun for a couple more seconds, then, with a twitch of her whiskers, she jumped off, landing dangerously close to the Gasping River.

" Sure you were," she mewed teasingly.

Jesmain trotted down the river, looking for the long-stemmed Coltsfoot. She spotted a water-vole nibbling seeds on the far side of the river. "Shame," She muttered, half to herself. She would've loved the thrill of the hunt(WOW, that's old...) at this particular moment. Hmnm... Well, there was a log across the river almost right in front of her...

Jesmain smiled, trotting up to the log. She leaped atop it, gripping the slippery surface with her sharp claws, and working her way across. The log creaked, shifting a bit. Jesmain gritted her teeth, Bad Idea... she thought sharply. She jumped the rest of the way, shortly before the log collapsed, twirling away with the river. Jesmain's frozen smile spread to an enthralled grin.

She continued down the river, looking smug, and completely forgetting her Water Vole. She continued looking for the Coltsfoot, and soon found some. She gripped the base of the long stems with her sharp teeth, pulling gently. The stems came away easily. She trotted back to where Colourcloud was, looking about as happy as the happiest cat in the world. She didn't take time to set down the stems, "look what I found!" She called through the stems, trotting directly across from the raven-black she-cat. Then she did set down, looking troubled.

"Oh, now.. about getting back..."

[Colourrrr]

C O L O U R C L O U D ;;

Oh dear. Well, it seemed Jesmain had gotten herself into...something of a fix. Colourcloud looked up the river; down the river, for any sign of a bridge, but she couldn't see one. Oh...wait now. She looked up the river again and saw three small rocks going across the river. At times they were getting washed over by the waves.

"Oh! Jesmain, over here!" she called excitedly. She pointed with her nose to the rocks, knowing how dangerous this could be. But hey, Jesmain had the medicine cat of RavenClan here with her; she'd be safe. Colourcloud knew how to save a drowning cat. "You have to keep your balance. Promise you will!" she felt like a little kit after saying that, but she needed Jesmain to promise her she was going to keep her balance.

Suddenly the broken log washed over the rocks and got even more broken and mangled. "Great StarClan," she breathed. Did StarClan want Jesmain to get hurt? Colourcloud's tail lashed in anticipation; her tiny paws kneaded the ground without her really realizing. You can do it, she urged silently. Out of the corner of her eye she saw some coltsfoot...no. She'd get it later; she needed to help Jesmain right now.

Oh, gosh...so many herbs. She smelled a tiny clump of horsetail just beside the rock; obviously she hadn't gotten all of it. The coltsfoot over there, and the horsetail just right here...and then Colourcloud wondered why Jesmain had gone over there anyway. Then she spotted the water vole.

Jesmain laughed into the quiet air, a light sound. "I'll be fine!! You worry to much," She mewed happily. Excitement was what she lived for! Although... this wasn't what she would call full-scale excitement... No, what she called full-scale excitement was a battle with a rogue two times bigger than her, Now THAT was excitement.

She leaped to the first rock and nodded, slightly slippery, not to mention she was getting her paws wet, but nothing serious. She looked at Colourcloud's worried face and smiled encouragingly. I'll be fine! is what her sparkling eyes seemed to say.

But she definitely WAS NOT fine when she over-extended her self, and landed with a small splash into the space beyond. Jesmain swirled down the river, her head bumping up and down, Jesmain wasn't the best at swimming. "Colourcloud!" She yowled, in one time above the surface.

[Colourrrr]

C O L O U R C L O U D ;;

It was true; she did worry too much at times. But she was allowed to worry...as her friend had just fallen into the River. "JESMAIN!" she yowled, her mismatched eyes wide with fear. She dived into the River after Jesmain, and finally caught up to her. She grabbed onto her scruff and began to swim against the strong current, back to the stepping stones.

Colourcloud finally reached the middle stepping stone and dragged Jesmain onto it, breathing hard. She was so small, and she'd just carried a larger she-cat against a strong current. "Come on...Jesmain..." she panted, standing and leaping to the next rock - with some effort. "Come on, get up and jump!" she mewed as she caught her breath again.

[short. again. sorry. >.<]

[89darkthorn89]

ooc- Lol, definitely fine, you don't know how many times I've posted short=P



Jesmain cracked an eyes open, wincing at the sun. She dragged herself up, coughing out water. "Well, that was a bit TO much excitement," she mewed weakly. She surveyed her situation. Sitting on a rock, barely sitting, with a Medicine cat infront of you, on a different rock, and trying to get a half-collapsed cat to jump, wasn't good.

"Gah, I'm not sure I CAN jump at this particular moment, Colourcloud." She meowed, trying to make her tired voice heard over the river.

Yes she had only been in the river for a few minutes, but that was enough time to intake water, and not breath. Jesmain coughed again, feeling slightly woozy.

"Well, if you really want me to.!" she meowed, pulling herself to the edge of the small rock. She jumped shortly to the next rock, stumbling a bit, but managing to stay upright. She leaped to the bank, collapsing.

"Well, that was exciting, and who turned you into a fish without me noticing?" She asked tiredly, a small twinkle in her eyes. Some cats got annoyed with Jesmain's complete lack of care for safety, but she would just shrug and tell them that's the way she was.

"Well, I think it'd be time for me to head back to camp."

[Colourrrr]

C O L O U R C L O U D ;;

Colourcloud watched Jesmain leap safely to the bank, then jumped up after her. "A medicine cat's gotta know these kinds of things, silly," she purred. She began to prod at her friend, making sure there were no scratches, bumps...she was a medicine cat. She had to do it. There was a bad scrape on her shoulder...Colourcloud straightened up and went to look for some cobwebs.

She returned with a big wad of it in her mouth and pressed it onto the bleeding spot. "There. That'll stop the bleeding...does it hurt badly?" she asked, wondering if there were poppies here. Jesmain said it was time to go back to camp and Colourcloud nodded; they'd get poppy seeds there.

Colourcloud nudged her friend to her paws and stayed by her side, in case she fell over. "Come on...We'll get more herbs back home," she reassured Jesmain, though she wasn't sure Jesmain needed reassuring - it was more Colourcloud herself.
