Not some average bones, I believe in love!

With sturdy pawsteps, Torrentsky padded through Riverclan's territory, jaws parted to let the scents of the forest flood his senses. He was headed towards the river, even though his patrols for the day had been long over, he figured any extra prey brought back to camp would be welcomed, especially with new joiners and kits on the way.

Suddenly, a flurry of urgent pawsteps caused him to freeze, his head snapping towards the sound. A frightened squirrel scurried across his path, tail streaming out behind it's plump body. Instinctively, Torrentsky darted after the creature, forest floor flying from his paws. Within a few quick strides, Torrentsky had gained on the creature, grasping it between his outstretched claws. the young warrior swiftly brought a blow to it's neck, causing it to fall limp in his jaws.

Lifting his head, Torrentsky's tail lifted in triumph--but his pride quickly diminished as the sound of larger, targeted pawsteps sounded from behind him. Suddenly understanding his mistake, Torrentsky spun around with a hardened gaze to meet his attacker, rooting his paws into the dirt to brace for what was coming.

With an empty stomach, he trotted into a forest, looking for any small prey or scraps he could reach. There has go be something here. He thought, lifting his head, taking in all of the unfamiler scents that held the area. His pupils constricted, immediately setting on a squirrel meters away. Perfect.


He crouched low to the ground slowly. He took a deep breath, locking onto his target, and steadily made his way towards the prey. Each step soft and patient, even though the pain of hunger was slowly devouring him.

Red got closer and closer each moment, but then a twig snapped under his paw. He immediately turned his focus back to the squirrel, startling it. He wasted no time spreading his claws in hopes of grabbing it, but he missed by a hair. Fear unfolding as he continued chasing it, but he was not gonna give up that easily. The squirrel ran up a tree, and he followed. Claws digging in deep into the bark. For a split second he lost sight, only to find the squirrel back on the ground. He clenched his teeth as the distance grew longer. He clawed himself down, continuing to follow the fresh scent the squirrel left. As he laid his eyes back onto his target, he stopped in his tracks, lowering himself around bush. His hackles raised, prickling with adrenaline. Another cat has stolen his kill.

His brows furrowed with rage, he positioned his body and used everything he had left in him and sprinted, paws hitting heavily on the ground. He lunged into the air, his claws open and ready to latch onto the Tom. He could care less of how much more stronger he appeared, but he was gonna give it his all no matter what. "That was mine!" He hissed loudly, placing his paw onto the unfamiler toms mouth, hoping he could somehow grasp the prey from the strangers possession.

As the red blur charged towards him, Torrentsky let his body relax to take the weight of the stranger, knocking him backward against the dirt. As his back hit the ground, he mustered all the power he could into his legs as they crashed with great momentum, kicking swiftly against the attacker's soft belly in attempts to release the cat's claws from his pelt.

Rolling over onto his feet, Torrentsky spun around to face the other, unsheathing his claws.

"You're hunting on Riverclan territory," He began, voice clear and booming as he lifted his head tall. While that much was true, he didn't blame the stranger for hunting, after all, every cat had to eat. "I'll escort you to unclaimed territory, where I'm sure—"

Torrentsky froze, his jaw parted mid sentence. The scent of the tom had suddenly reached him, and as it hit his throat he nearly choked on the air. His fur bristled, disbelief clouding his gaze as his claws slowly sheathed back into his paws.

As the cat before him rose back to his feet, Torrensky's gaze travelled over his pelt, down his tail, and back to his face. His eyes traced the structure of the tom's features, his ears, the glare in his eyes. Torrenysky's own gaze began to well up—the face of this cat was one he could never forget.

"I know you, I—"He stumbled over his words, taking a paw step towards the other to get a closer look at his face. Thousands of memories from living in the shipyard and his deceased mother flashed through his mind as he studied the tom, causing his heart to ache as it raced. This cat—who Torrentsky remembered as Red—had been the first friend he made when he was a kit, before his mother had even passed. Red was taken from him soon after, and though Torrentsky tried his hardest to save him, there was only so far his kit legs could carry him before he collapsed, never seeing the ruddy tomkit again—until now.

"Red, it's me, Torrent," He continued, referring to his shipyard name. "I knew you when we were children… I thought you died. I saw you get taken away." He explained, as if he couldn't even believe it himself, eyes darting across the others face as the memory replayed in his head. "How are you here? How did you get away?" Torrentsky pressed, as more and more questions piled against his tongue.

Red hissed, with ears pinned and his tail raised, both coming to a standoff. His ears perked once he heard the familier voice. His gaze traveled to the toms face. Breifly glancing over his fur. That color...

His head shot up, staring longingly in shock.

"Torrent?" He whispered. He leveled himself with the tom, stepping back from him slowly. He couldn't believe it, it was really him. He finally relaxed, his gaze softening. His heart was pounding, the feeling of excitement electrifying his body. He opened his maw, about to speak but seeing his face immediately brought flashbacks. He winced, at the sudden realization of his back pain. His vision went blurry, staring at the ground, almost like he was back in that moment when he was almost torn to pieces. His teeth clenched, looking at torrents gaze. His eyes darkened, because all he could think about is when he found his way home, torrent seemed to be doing just fine without him, and that same day he left, all alone and fending for himself. Realizing he did not need anyone but himself.

His ears flattened, sadness and anger submerged him. How did I survive? He scoffed to himself softly. "I..I barely made it out of there alive ...I managed to climb a tree, but then again, I barley held on...after that, I just survived. Ive been by myself ever since." He spoke, his gaze glossy, like he was picturing it clearly. He snapped out of it and then inhaled softly, taking in all the unfamilar scents that intertwined with his. His ear flickered in thought, Soon to figure out torrent started anew, with a clan. Deep down Red was relieved he was safe and sound, but that doesnt hide the fact that he could see torrent was shining, like the sun. He was happy, a little too happy without him. Red couldnt help but feel irritated because of it. Torrent didnt need him, he never really did. It felt like everything was happening all over again. I need to get out of here.

He looked at the carcass, and turnt to torrent. His lip curled brefily, "You can keep the squirrel." he muttered, as he began to walk the opposite way. He didnt want to stay too long in a clan territory anyway.

The look on Red's face told him he too recognized him, catching the flash of excitement in the tom's eyes. Torrentsky's maw turned upward into a smile, but it was short-lived as Red suddenly winced, and the feeling of anger flowed off of his body. What was wrong?

Torrent listened thoughtfully, his gaze flickering across the tom's face. His friend's tone was bitter, as his body language sank further into despair. The sight sent a wave a guilt crashing over Torrensky.

"You can keep the squirrel."

Torrentsky watched as Red began to turn away, and realizing his friend was slipping away from him again, he quickly placed himself around and in front of the tom, his body language showing no intention of letting him pass.

"Please don't," He insisted, stepping forward. "I'm so relieved you're here, and alive." Torrentsky meowed, as if he still couldn't believe it. Trying his best to shake away the shock, he continued. "Come back to camp with me," He blurted, eyes brightening softly with excitement. "We can share the prey, and talk about everything."
