Shadow, okay XD Lightning is stubborn it'll happen lol!)
Lightning watched as the two cats bickered. 'Why are we all still together if all they do is fight? Its not like they are being forced to stay here!' She thought to herself as she let out a huff. She glanced at the tom once more. Curiousity still nagged at her, what was he hiding? Why was he so cruel? No one is like that without a reason. She thought back to when he talked about a cat that was cruel and hunted other cats with his followers. She couldn't help but wonder if they were connected somehow. Maybe he used to be one of the followers and was forced to kill others. Her eyes went wide in shock at the thought.
Lightning sighed and recurled into a ball, she closed her eyes and wrapped her tail around herself, burying her nose under it. She felt sleep nagging her on. The throbbing in her leg had gone down, and so did the swelling a little. Maybe she would be okay to leave tomorrow! She hoped so. The last thing she needed was to stay with him. She found the she-cats tolerable, although they were all a bit loud, or soft for her. Even though she was injured, Lightning knew she wasn't weak. She could put up a good fight even against him if she was better. She knew she wouldn't win against him but she would give him something to remember.

'I was just thinking of you.'
The words rang in her ear and she stared at Flare maybe a little too long than she should've as words circled around her head on how she might respond. From what she's gathered on this rogue so far was that he was extremely stubborn and only thought about himself. So, the fact that he appeared to even slightly care for her well-being was refreshing. Then again, he could just be saying that to cover his tail after she called him out for snapping at Dawn.
"Well, thank you. I appreciate that." Maple mewed honestly, her head turning as Dawn picked up her stone and began to leave. Maple truly enjoyed the fluffy she-cat's company for the short while they conversed, she found her antics odd and was truly impressed that she possessed any hunting skills whatsoever. She nodded a farewell to Dawn and smiled softly.
Suddenly Maple was all too aware of how dark it was getting and she wondered if she should take Lightning's lead and settle here for the night, though a part of her was urging her to keep going, to get even more distance between her and her old clan. "Would you be interested in hunting? I haven't had a chance to eat yet and I'm sure there are some mice around to catch." Maple asked Flare, turning fully to the tom, figuring it might've been a while since he'd eaten to, or he at least must be hungry from their dog fight just moments before. While she wasn't confident that he would agree, she still thought she'd ask anyways. It'd be nice to have someone to hunt with again.

Flare tipped his head back, trying to catch a glimpse of the slices of sky showing above the trees. Dusk had already fallen and the moon was fast on the rise. The entire day had slipped through his paws without notice. Should he be surprised, though? In one day, he had killed his father and unwittingly fulfilled his lifelong dream of leaving Twolegplace. To top it off, he had stumbled upon a couple of bossy she-cats and a woebegone tom who had humiliated him. And the dog fight, while a common occurrence in Twolegplace, had certainly been a contributing factor to the exhaustion that dragged at his paws now.
He couldn’t let his tiredness show, however. It was a sign of weakness. He wasn’t concerned; he’d had plenty of practice concealing his fatigue during many a late-night raid in Twolegplace. Straightening his shoulders, Flare’s eyes brightened with alertness as he flicked his tail in seeming restlessness. He threw a glance at Maple, who was staring at him. Had she said something? Oh, well. It couldn’t be important.
Maple then asked him if he cared to hunt. Flare knew that any piece of prey he consumed would turn to dust in his mouth when he considered the fact that Scrap would never be able to enjoy such a morsel again, but he forced himself to nod and remarked airily,
“I hunt alone, but if you’d like some company in these creepy dark woods, then I suppose I’ll oblige,”

Lightning sighed, she didn't feel like she could sleep anymore. Blinking open her eyes she realized it was only moon-high. But her spirits lifted when she looked down at her wound. It was healing! Letting out a small purr of satisfaction she glanced up, realizing Flare and Maple were gone. A twinge of jealousy hit her, letting her tail droop a little, she got to her paws. Surprisingly she could put a bit of weight on her leg. 'Burdock root works like magic!' She thought to herself before she wandered over toward the creek.
The moonlight shone on her pelt, making it glow a blueish color. She glanced at the other sleeping she-cat, but continued toward the creek. Why didn't she just leave now? She thought about it for a little while, quietly she sat down and watched the water, her tail curled around her paws. Something was telling her not to leave. For some reason now she didn't want to go, and she didn't know why. Its not like she needed any of these cats? Or cared about them. Right? She sighed, trying to relax as the sound of the water soothed her.

Even Maple could tell that something seemed to be bothering the tom, but she didn't feel it was her place to ask. At least for the time being she wouldn't. The she-cat lets out an airy chuckle at his response, her only reaction was a roll of her eyes but she found it rather funny nonetheless. "You think I need a big strong tom to protect me?" She teased, her expression turning a bit into a pout as she played this whole 'helpless she-cat' act. Maple breaks out into a grin and bounds towards the forest, her tail-tip dragging under his chin. "Let me know when you find one, you'll just have to do for now. C'mon."
The dock was already soothing her paws otherwise she didn't think she could handle running anymore on the forest floor. There was something about hunting at night that Maple really enjoyed. Maybe it was because everything was so much more silent at night and that made hunting more of a challenge, or maybe it was the way she felt way more in her element at night than in the daytime. Either way, for the first time since leaving her clan Maple felt excited to do something for once, and if she were being honest it would be nice to be hunting with someone again, even if her only choice was a grumpy tom. She wasn't going to complain.
Maple stopped briefly, glancing back to wait for Flare to catch up.

Flare shook his head, a growl rumbling in his throat as he followed Maple. The she-cat had gotten under his fur with that barb. Forcing his fur to lie smooth instead of prickling with annoyance, he padded after her toward the forest, parting his jaws to allow the scents of the forest bathe his tongue. Scenting mouse, he veered away in the direction of a bramble thicket.
After a while, the tom returned to the clearing where he and Maple had split up. She probably meant actually hunting together when she had invited him, but as he had said before, he hunted alone. Nothing could change that. He prodded his catch with a paw: two mice and a sizable sparrow. What had caused him to catch so much prey? He wasn’t actually thinking of staying here, was he? Looking around for Maple, Flare turned the question over in his mind, his amber gaze searching the trees.

Maple blinked realizing too much time had passed if Flare was going to meet her. 'Maybe he really did go off on his own.' She thought to herself, shrugging and then turning to delve deeper into the forest. She knew that she'd probably only find mice awake and available to hunt during the night, already scenting one nearby and going after its scent.
Satisfied with her catch, a plump mouse and a squirrel that was still awake by the time she got to it, Maple began to trek back to the clearing. That is until something shiny caught her eye. She couldn't ignore the pull that was begging her to go check it out, recognizing the contraption to be some sort of cage with its door propped up. Maple stared at it, curiosity continuing to nag at her but she didn't dare venture any further. She frowns and picks up her prey, running back as fast as she could.
Maple breaks through the clearing and sets her squirrel and mouse down, her chest rising and falling quickly as she pants. "I found...there's something...it's like a..." She couldn't get the words out quite right, her mind moving faster than she could get the words out.

"I don't...I don't know!" Maple admitted, honestly having no idea what the contraption would be called. It was something unlike she had ever seen in the forest, her best guess is that it was some sort of twoleg thing as she's confident no other forest creature could've set that. Maple frowned, shaking her head a bit allowing herself to catch her breath first like Flare suggested.
"It was bigger than us, and had this weird opening. Cold to the touch, definitely something set by a twoleg. I just, I just don't know what it's called." Maple frowned, hating not knowing what it was. Her head turns to look in the direction she had come. "I found it over there, maybe you'd have a better idea of what it could be." She only said that knowing he came from the twoleg place. Again, without waiting to hear from Flare, she began to pad back towards the direction.

Taboo looked at her, slightly confused. The tom tilted his head as if to say 'what are you talking about'? He let out a nervous laugh. "I don't know how to fish silly. We just have to wing it!" he purred excitedly, glancing out at the water before returning to his bloody pelt. It was clear he hadn't groomed himself in a long time, so it was strange of him to do it now. (oh shoot I thought I had! My bad c: ) Peach's eyes widen a bit, the way he talked about it yesterday made it sound like he knew how. She tells herself to relax though and smiles, convincing herself that it'll be fun if they're learning together. "Well, I'm sure it won't be that bad." She says, watching him groom himself, something she hadn't seen him do since she left her twoleg place with him.
"Here, let me help." Peach finally said, scooting over to his side and rasping her tongue over his mangy fur, the bitter taste of blood still new to her tongue.

(You're fine, lol^) The tom let out a satisfied purr as Peach began to run her tongue through his scruffy fur, craning his own neck to lick at the fur that sprouted from his chest. Fishing can't be that hard now, can it? he thought wistfully, although excited he would be able to swim. Purring, he let his eyes drift closed and continued to groom himself. "Did your housefolk give you that mush to eat like mine?" he asked between strokes. (I don't know if this'll work but here it is )

Flare approached the cage cautiously. He had come across many types of traps in Twolegplace. “This is a trap,” he announced for Maple’s benefit after he finished his brief examination. “It’s the kind that lures cats and even other animals like raccoons in with the promise of fresh-kill, but snaps shut as soon you enter it with no way to open it from inside. Here, if I trigger it it won’t bother anyone.” Hunting around for a thin stick, Flare found one and picked up one end in his jaws. He probed the stick at the floor if the opening, starting slightly as the trapdoor flew down with a sharp click, snapping the spindly twig in two. Spitting out the remains of the stick, Flare meowed with satisfaction, “There. Now no one can get trapped, but Twolegs will be along to check it soon.”

(OMG YESSS)
The tom tilted his head as she reminisced, an amused huff escaping him as he listened. Suddenly realization dawned on Taboo, his grin disappearing and his face going blank as he turned to look at Peach. "You want to go back, don't you," he stated, making it apparent it wasn't a question. "I didn't think you'd enjoy it out here...of course not. Perhaps he isn't enjoyable, but he enjoys his own company..." he added, lowering his voice to a whisper and frowning. "Unless she likes Taboo?" the tom purred quickly, perking up.

Spitting out the remains of the stick, Flare meowed with satisfaction, “There. Now no one can get trapped, but Twolegs will be along to check it soon.”
Maple nodded slowly, slowly going over what he said in her head as she continued to stare and study the trap. "Trigger it?" She wondered aloud curiously, though her question was quickly answered as Flare stuck a stick in there and she watched as it snapped in half. Maple must've jumped back a whole fox-length as the door snapped shut and it felt like her heart got caught in her throat at the loud clang!
Her eyes stayed wide and she continued to stare at the metal cage, half of the stick now trapped inside. Maple didn't move, afraid something might happen if she even took her eyes off of it, even if Flare assured her that it wouldn't bother them anymore.
"And...this is a regular thing that happens?" She asked, her fur still raised high. Maple didn't like this, and the thought that twolegs would start to show up definitely did nothing to ease her anxiety.
