SparkClan: Returning Home (Part Two!) \A PRP For Jet And Harvey/

Eaglepaw spotted a hawk somewhere up in the sky. He felt as if he should be weary of it's approach, but found that he wasn't among these cats.

[Uhm what?]

[READ! And I dunno, just make the tribe leader see him or something.]

Stargazer walked around his camp, spotting Eaglepaw in the distance. "Enjoying your stay here?" He asked casually, walking up to the apprentice.

"I guess," Eagelpaw mewed, his voice dull. "Lionpaw has just been acting... strange."

The tribe leader's eyes flashed. "Interesting. Well I would just put it aside." He mewed. "He might just be shaken up by the prophecy."

Eaglepaw huffed. "I guess I will," he lied, looking at the Tribe leader directly in the eyes just to prove his 'truthfulness.'

The tribe leader didn't faulter under the gaze of the apprentice, but only smirked. "Why are you so agitated, young one?" He inquired

[You're eating this up, aren't you? xD]

Eaglepaw shrugged. "It's just the prophecy," he admitted. And the strange dreams.

[You know me too well XD]

"Hmm. I see." Stargazer sat next to the apprentice, staring up at the hawk. "The prophecy.... Is like that bird. It will haunt you for hours, trying to plan a way to strike, then at the last moment, when you finally let your guard down, it will snap. The dreams are also that way to, I belive."

Eaglepaw shrugged. "Maybe you're right. Who knows what StarClan wants," he muttered, shaking his head in dismay.

Stargazer nodded, shocked at him agreeing with him. "Have you considered getting closer to other cats besides Larkpaw? I know that you have Cloverpaw and Lionpaw to get to know." The cat shrugged, "Maybe that's what StarClan needs."

Oh, I think I know them plenty, he wanted to say, but refrained himself. "Sure," Eaglepaw replied instead.

"I would try Lionpaw first. He's a really good compainion, although," the cat chuckled, "he's easily fooled. And he's got his poor heart on that Cloverpaw. What a mistake." He snorted at this remark, "She's weak, pathetic, and has too much care for the world."

You're pushing it. COMPLETELY... he wanted to scream. Eaglepaw put on a mask of friendship, and nodded. "Maybe I will try and talk to Lionpaw," he lied.

"Good." The leader chuckled. "I would hate to see someone as intelligent as you mingle with someone... so low class. Plus, it would be very dangerous to your health if you were to adapt feelings for her. Lionpaw is a much stronger cat than you."

Eaglepaw tried to contain himself, but laughed just the slightest bit. "He may be strong, but I know I have something that he doesn't," he pointed out smugly.
Fight fire with fire, the tom thought, narrowing his eyes.

"And what could that possibly be?" Said the leader, a false look of shock on his face.

[I love how they're thinking the exact opposite of what they say.]

"Oh... it's nothing, really," he mewed, a mischievious grin on his face.

"Well if it's nothing, then I'm sure Lionpaw will have an easy advantage over your cold heart." The words slipped out of the tribe leaders mouth unexpectedly, but he kept his composur

Eaglepaw kept his stance, not budging even the slightest bit. "Lionpaw is very warm-hearted," he agreed. "Which is what makes it easy."

"Ah yes, but you are forgetting something." He looked directly into Eaglepaw's eyes, "Warm conqures cold. Always."

"Yeah, that's why cold water puts out the very warm fire," he mewed in response, probably a little too sarcastically.

"I'm sorry, Eaglepaw, but I can't help but get the feeling that you are mocking me." The leader said in between gritted teeth

Eaglepaw smiled. "Oh... I was just stating a fact," he mewed innocently.
Finally, the tom thought.
