Logan had had the emotion drained out of him. He was abused by past owners and barely escaped. As a loner, he tried to find food, getting attacked more than once. Now, he lives just outside a Clan's territory.Logan's light brown fur was ruffled by the wind. He crept up on a mouse, no emotion or light in his eyes. He hadn't realized he had crossed the border of the Clan territory, but likely wouldn't care if they chased him out. WhispersintheMist

Echoglade eyed the mouse warily, its tiny gray body quivering as it nibbled on a seed at the base of a beech tree. She held her breath, dark green eyes narrowed in concentration as she ever so slightly shifted her weight onto her haunches and froze, poised to spring. Crack! The sharp sound of a twig snapping shattered the stillness of a quiet newleaf morning in ThunderClan territory. The mouse gave an alarmed and squeak and dropped its seed, skittering to the safety of its hole. Echoglade let out a hiss of irritation and sprang forward in a last desperate attempt to catch her prey, faltering in the middle when she knew it was useless. She stared at the hole, her tail lashing in anger. Something had scared her prey away, she knew. And whatever it was, be it a blackbird or even an enemy warrior, she would track it down and give it something to remember her by. Armageddidn't

Logan stumbled back with a mew, amber eyes wide.. He turned and ran the other way, leaving the snapped twig. Branches on bushes snagged at his pelt, and he focused on getting out of the clan territory. He was almost panicking, though he couldn't feel it. He finally made it back across the border and dove into his den, a small cavern in a rocky cleft. WhispersintheMist

Echoglade lifted her muzzle to the faint newleaf breeze rustling the budding tree leaves and parted her jaws slightly to allow the fresh green scents tingle on her tongue. She stiffened as she picked up a whisper of an unfamiliar smell that hung on the air- a tomcat! "A rogue on ThunderClan territory!" Echoglade hissed aloud, her fur prickling along her spine. She was going to search out this trespasser-whoever he was-and give him a taste of something to remember her by. The silver tabby trekked slowly through the forest, the trail of foreign cat scent leading her on a twisted path through ThunderClan territory, into the deepest, darkest part: a copse of ancient, gnarled pine trees riddled with treacherous, swampy marsh, devoid of the furred and feathered prey that was on Echoglade's palate. She paused at the mouth of the looming pine grove-hesitating briefly as the rogue's scent was swamped by the strong, sharp tang of pine sap. ThunderClan always skirted the imposing coppice, marked the borders along the other side. Don't be a scaredy-mouse! Echoglade mentally challenged herself. She closed her eyes for a moment to steady her nerves, straining for every fiber of courage in her being. When she opened them again, her gaze flickered with a determined fire. Taking a deep breath, she plunged into the shadowed evergreens without a glance behind her, hard on the trail of a bold male rogue who was foolish enough to settle on her territory.

Logan caught his breath, amber eyes scanning the area around him. Am I safe? he wondered, lifting a paw and stepping out of his den. WhispersintheMist

Echoglade's eyes darted around her as she was swallowed in a heavy gloom, despite the warm sun that shone brightly above. She placed her paws down on a thick carpet of needles, feeling springy beneath her pads and also gently pricking at the same time. Under the pungent odor of sap she could just detect the rogue's scent, growing ever stronger. Picking up speed until she was running outright, she finally burst into a small, sheltered glade with a rocky outcropping in the center. Standing there staring at her was a light brown tom, his pelt shadowed by the rock cleft. Echoglade unsheathed her claws and padded forward slowly, deliberately, menacingly, her eyes narrowed. "Are you aware," she cocked her head, eyes glinting, "Are you aware that you are currently on ThunderClan territory?" Armageddidn't

Logan flattened his ears, though his eyes showed no emotion. "If you couldn't tell, I've been fending for myself for about twenty moons now. I don't need my own kind turning against me. But, if you want me to leave, I'll go." he stated robotically.

Echoglade's ears twitched slightly as she stared the tom. There was something... offabout him. She couldn't quite place what it was, yet. It didn't matter, anyway. She was here to do a job, and if she didn't do it, she might as well be spitting in the face of StarClan, blatantly refusing to obey the warrior code that was her life. "Look, I don't care howlong you've been here," she growled, "All I want you to know is that you are trespassing on ThunderClan's territory, and all I want to hear from you is that you are leaving. Right now." Armageddidn't

"Fine." Logan stated. "I'll get going then." He turned and padded away, his tail dragging behind him.

Echoglade was left blinking in the middle of the clearing as the tom turned tail and started walking awayfrom her, just like that. She had expected more: a challenge, a protest, a plea for help. His reply-his reaction- it had all been so flat. "Wait!" she called after him hesitantly. "What's your name?" Armageddidn't(It would be great if you could keep tagging me so I could reply ASAP!)

Logan turned back around. "It's Logan." he blinked. "Now, you wanted me to leave, so I'll be going now." He proceeded to turn back towards the edge of the territory and walk again. {{Sorry XD} WhispersintheMist

Echoglade felt her fur prickling uncomfortably as she stared after Logan. What an odd-sounding name- was he a former kittypet? Echoglade had no idea what to do, but some instinct told her to find out more about this tom. "So-where are you going now?" he asked hesitatingly. Logan's stare was so dull, so blank. He was perfectly impassive, and not being able to find a window to his thoughts and emotions bothered her. No problem lol Armageddidn't

"Wherever my instincts tell me to." Logan said simply, glancing back. He kept padding away. WhispersintheMist

"And...where are your instincts telling you to go now?" Echoglade pressed, starting to follow him.

"Away from the Clan territories." Logan stated. He glanced back at the she-cat. WhispersintheMist

Echoglade nodded. "That's what you should do," she answered absently. On the inside, however, her mind was churning. She felt an unquenchable curiosity to find out what Logan was all about. SHe wanted him to slip up and show some feeling for once. Suddenly, she hit on an idea. "You didn't happen to pick up any prey for yourself, did you?" she inquired, a gleam entering in her eyes. She knew it was a mouse-brained question. If this tom had tried to make his home here, surely he would have hunted here. But, it was all part of her plan. Armageddidn't

"Not on your territory, no." Logan stated blankly. He picked up his pace slightly.

Echoglade let out a hiss. So much for her perfect plan. Still, there was something else she could try. "Okay, good. I would have clawed your pelt off if you did. Now. How long have you been living here?" Armageddidn't

"Only?" Echoglade repeated, lifting her brows. "You call living on a Clan's territory without their permission for a whole moon only?" Don't worry about it, I'm prob'ly the most forgetful person on these forums Armageddidn't

"Short time compared to the twenty moons I've been wandering." Logan stated. He was still emotionless.
