Memories

[Molten]

(( BEWARE OF MY POST ITS GOREY AND GROSS XD (rhymage) ))

"Where's the sky-charter den?" Molten asked softly, panting for breath. Although she was extremely hot, she couldn't sweat because her body didn't have enough water. She started licking herself to cool down, but her tongue was completely dry. She guess the direction of the sky-charter den. "Okay let's just say its over there.." Molten said. She was so excited to leave the volcano. If she had memories of life outside of here they would be dancing through her mind, but she had forgot them all.

At the corner of her eye... she something move. A mole? She ran over towards it.... which was surprising, how could she have the energy? And then she pounced. It was a mole! Molten was so lucky to have had that mole come, and not be caught be the Eternal, and to not be dead! She was so excited to see the mole that she started to eat it alive, and sucked the water from its blood the way you suck orange juice from an orange. She ripped its meat open with her teeth and swallowed without chewing. Then choked it out. Oh yea, I have teeth, Molten thought and re-ate the meat. The mole was wriggling, until Molten bit into its heart. Molten was so happy to find this food! Her stomach was already rumbling with happiness. She ate so much of the mole that soon there were just bones left. Yeah, she even ate the organs. ((Wow that's so gory and gross!)) Molten was amazed by how a few seconds ago, her stomach was digesting itself but now she had enough water in her body to sweat.

"Oh my god Eternal! What's it like having so much power? Yea I know you're speechless in amazement talking the the greatest kit alive," Sunkit blabbered, loudly too.

Amberheart had been laying silently when Roantail suddenly blurted out words of comfort. She peeked open her eye and her right ear flicked upwards at attention in hearing this. But she didn't seem shocked. Not at all, actually. Amberheart just stared up at Roantail for a second, head still on her paws. After a few moments of silence, a low growl began in Amberheart's throat.
No-, wait... Not a growl... a purr. She closed her eye again and her tail began to thump up and down in amusement. "Thank you." Amberheart uttered out. She had been speaking to Molten and Roantail, although, she wouldn't have said anything to Molten if she hadn't used her own fur to help her eye. All her anger at Molten drifted away.

What point was there in being mad? Molten probably wouldn't have even clawed her if she hadn't been so hungry. Amberheart knew she only wanted to leave to help her hunger and thirst with.. whatever that liquid "Water" is.
Amberheart opened her eye again and peered up and got ready to speak to Molten, but as she glanced around, Amberheart realized Molten was no where to be seen. Had she gone on ahead out of the volcano? Amberheart lifted her head and looked around in confusion, but in doing so, Molten's fur fell off her eye. (....Woooowww, that was a weird thing that I never thought I'd say. XD) But it hadn't mattered. Amberheart's wound had finally stopped bleeding, so it was no longer a bad threat.
Amberheart shrugged a bit and glanced at Roantail, smiling slightly and nodding in thanks for the encouraging words.. although, he had really only said one thing. "Thank you." Amberheart repeated. "I only hope I do get better.."

[Smokeleaf]

Roantail nodded sharply and murmured something even he himself couldn't quite decipher, then flicked his tail impatiently--at what?--and cleared his throat.
"Yes. Well."
He hadn't meant to be so brusque. Gosh, he hoped he hadn't offended her, or anything...
"We'd better go," he added hastily to cover up for his potential-rudeness. "I mean, Molten's gone... We'd better follow, 'cause, well, I, euh...."
He started to clear his throat again, then realized that this must make him seem ill, and decided to stop halfway through. This resulted in an extremely awkward fit of coughs and splutters and for a moment, his heart even stopped. Weird.

ooc: Yeah, I can't imagine its very sanitary to stop bleeding from an eye wound with dirty, ash-covered cat fur. ( =
bic:

Eternalstorm blinked slowly, once, twice, three times. He didn't know what to say--not that he could have said anything, of course. The truth of the matter was, he had never really paid much attention to Sunkit, and the fact that the little guy was brazen enough to walk up to his den without being summoned came as a bit of a shock to the mighty Eternal. The little kit seemed to blabber on and on and on, and even if Eternalstorm could speak, he would never have been able to get a word in edgewise. Trying to regain control of the situation, he flicked his long, dust-colored tail in a gesture that clearly meant "shut up." Whether or not Sunkit realized this was up to debate.

[TrickyJinxy]

OOC: Pffffff- I'd rather have my character get better unsanitaringly...ish (Wut?) than end up bleeding to death from her eye.
....Weird, the rude, annoying secretary at my school never lets us in the office to call our parents unless we're bleeding from our eyes............. hm....

IC:
Amberheart nodded and carefully sat up, still weak from losing so much blood. At least she'd get better as soon as the blood returned to her body. Amberheart coughed out some soot before standing up, tail between her legs. She didn't seem much like a pretty she-cat at the moment. Amberheart looked more like a feral cat you would find in an alley scrapping for garbage. Other than her matted fur that she began to clean again, Amberheart was still a lot better looking than she could have been. She finished fixing her fur and nodded to Roantail again, slightly embarrassed. "Uh, yes." She said and smiled at him, and her eyes glinted in a certain... motherly way she always had. "Let's go.." Amberheart said and began to walk away slowly, not wanting to go too fast, so she took her sweet time in looking for wherever Molten had run off.

She still slightly felt that leaving the volcano was a bad idea, but she couldn't say no by now that they were already half way down the mountain side. As they made it closer towards the ground, Amberheart could see a lot of stuff she'd never seen before in the distance.
'...Well, I suppose there is no turning back now.' Amberheart thought as she limped downwards. She also caught a glimpse of Molten's pelt in the distance.

[Molten]

Molten saw some more moles, around 2 or 3, which she scooped up in her paws and killed all at once by biting their necks, giving them strokes. Wow, that was cool, she congratulated herself. She carried them in her mouth and kept walking. Her teeth sunk deep into them and were longer than they would've been since she didn't eat as much as she should have. Molten thought they had grew or something, because they also seemed harder.

Soon enough, she saw a light. It was white with a little hint of blue. Molten was curious... Was this the way? She couldn't remember what color the outside world was. But just in case, she pawed over there. Another animal appeared... it looked like a mole, but it had eyes, and a hairless tail and its soft fur was gray. It had little hairless feet too. It died almost instantly, probably because of heatstroke or something. Molten stared at it as she walked past it. It smelled familiar. As she walked more, the ground was getting moist and sticky. It felt good on her paws. But now something else distracted her... There was a big hole right in front of her!

Molten was so excited! It was so hard for her not to scream when she said, "We're here!" She forced her voice into a whisper and ran outside. It was so much different from inside the volcano, but oh-so-familiar! The sky was light blue, and the air was humid, as if it had just rained. The rocks below her were brown, black and gray with little patches of bright green grass. She could see other cats on the slopes of the volcano. They looked allot different than BlazeClan cats. But Molten could now remember them... She could remember everything now. Compared to inside the volcano, which all you could hear was the bubbling of lava, out here it was very loud. Birds and bugs chirped and you could hear cats from other Clans chatter. Molten had a nice feeling in her heart. "I was here before!" she meowed. There wasn't even a need to meow, though, you could see all of the glory glowing in her eyes, which seemed brighter than usual.

Since she was so high up on the volcano, she could even see forests and a lake. WATER! Molten thought, and she almost went running down the volcano until she noticed some puddles surrounding her. She dropped the moles that were in her mouth and walked up to the puddles to take a drink. She saw a bright circle in the water, as well as her own reflection. Her back was hot for some reason. She looked above her, where the heat was coming from and saw a huge ball of lava above her. But it was at least a thousand times brighter than lava. "That ball in the sky is the sun, and what I am drinking is water," Molten happily mewed.

(( That was a really long, literate post. I'm proud of myself ^^ ))

[Smokeleaf]

ooc: 0_0 That makes me think eye-bleeding is a common occurance.....
Whenever someone says "feral cats," it reminds me of the cats that live under the portable at school. Only, they boarded those up for whatever reason, and I'm a little concerned as to where the cats are.
bic:

Roantail gulped and followed the she-cat, his knees quavering beneath him. He, too, was having second thoughts--and third thoughts, and fourth, and fifth--but of course, he couldn't say anything now. Molten was already gone, and they couldn't leave her alone out there. What if she never came back? What would they tell the others, the Eternal? No. They would have to go and supervise--er, help her and make sure they knew of every little thing she did. And anyhow, it would be good to know about the outside world. The only time they ever got around was at the Eclipse, and who knew when that would happen? If the Eternal was to lead all of the Fiery Clans, he would have to understand them, and to do that, he would have to know what lay beyond.
Of course, Roantail could never actually tell Eternalstorm what he saw. He'd be banished from the volcano, and Roantail knew that couldn't happen. Still, it was nice to have some ulterior motive, because suddenly, retrieving mold and cold lava didn't seem like such a fabulous idea.
Once the pair were sure Eternalstorm was distracted, they crept into the Sky Charter's Den, where they were met with a large, warm circle of light. In the ceiling was a hole, and that would be their escape.
After a few minutes of quietly plotting, they figured out a way to crawl through the den and found themselves--where? Well, outside, of course.
"Wow," Roantail whispered involuntarily. "It's so... different."
The world around him was cluttered, and beautiful. Long, tall sticks protruded from the ground, with little bits of green poking around. To Roantail, it seemed as if these little, colored smudges were just returning from a long slumber, and with chills of realization, he remembered.
"This is what Newleaf looks like," he said suddenly, glancing sharply at Amberheart. "I heard someone say it just a few days ago--'It's Newleaf'--and I think this is what they meant."

[TrickyJinxy]

Amberheart stiffled a gasp as she took a look around the beautiful scenery all around. "...Wow..." She whispered. It was amazing! Tall sticks with green stuff all over the top! Green stuff all around the ground, too, and the sky-, oh the sky! When Amberheart looked up at the sky, it wasn't red and black and brown like it usually was! Only higher up by the volcano it was. But all around, it was mostly the loveliest shade of blue she had ever seen!

"This is beautiful!" Amberheart said and swung around, looking at Roantail with excitement. She appeared to have lost all intentions of worry of the Eternal finding out. Her misty green eyes were wide with a cheery glaze over them, even her scarred half of her face was wide open. "I-I can't believe it. It's so beautiful, everything! Newleaf... Newleaf is so...so-...." Amberheart didn't even finish before turning around again and staring at all the views. To Molten, this was probably just a normal world, but to Amberheart... it was like truly opening her eyes to the world for the first time! She smiled and closed her eyes, listening to the song of birds chirping and feeling the chilly breeze through her fur. Amberheart had even forgotten all about her injury for the moment.

[Smokeleaf]

Roantail watched for a moment longer, enraptured by the sheer beauty of it all. It seemed as though the whole world would swallow him up, and he'd just drift off into space, into nothingness. Suddenly, a gust of wind whipped past him, ruffling his fur and sending chills down his spine. He shivered, unused to the cooler temperature. Then again, it was better than the heat of the volcano..........
He bit his tongue. "Eternalstorm," he muttered softly. He casted a wary glance at Amberheart and exhaled deeply. Oxygen flooded into his lungs, pure and sweet, cleaner than anything he'd ever breathed before, and he began to feel... good. Too good. He shook his head clear and continued, "We have to keep going. Where'd Molten go? If anyone notices we're gone, we could be in serious trouble."

[TrickyJinxy]

Amberheart stood for a few more moments in the brisk silence of the new world. She looked around quietly, her muzzle curled into a small smile. Amberheart felt as though she could just be lifted off her pads and drifted away by all the beautiful views and scents... until she was finally awoken from her dazed daydreaming by the sound of Roantail's voice. "O-oh.... right.." Amberheart stuttered and turned her head back to Roantail dreamily as she was pulled from her thoughts, her tail drooping down. "....I forgot... I mean, that we were being.." Her soft voice trailed off at the end. Amberheart didn't want to mention the feeling she had felt as soon as the beautiful world outside the volcano hit her. She didn't want to admit her only thought at that moment... Amberheart didn't want to admit that she had completely forgotten about their loyalty to the Clan and that they were breaking all the rules the Eternal had set for them by going out to find Molten. '..Is it wrong to like it here, outside the volcano.....?' Amberheart thought but quickly shook away this as though she had just been exposed to the most vile feeling anyone could ever have. 'No... no. I can't think like that. We have to find Molten, and then it's right back to the Clan where we are needed!' Then Amberheart remembered. She remembered her scarred eye. She closed her eyes in sorrow and sighed, opening them a heartbeat later and looking at Roantail with a distant and painful look in her eyes. "...Come on.. we should..... find Molten." Amberheart said quickly and turned her head back ahead as she began limping away without even waiting for Roantail to follow.

[Molten]

"Wait," Molten said, carrying as many mice, and birds in her mouth as she could. She stacked them all in a pile in front of the volcano, since they were getting to be too hard to hold all at once. There were around 7 animals in the pile. It's still a lot. Molten wanted to stay out here as long as possible. The outside air was so refreshing and it was like stepping into heaven. It eventually got hotter though, so Molten sat under a rock for shade. That was much better. But she could see a sudden movement... And she could also make out a shape. It looked like a cat. And she saw it once again. Yes, it was definetly a cat. Molten trotted over to her food and sat right next to it, guarding it just in case. She tried to make her body language as aggresive as possible. Maybe the cat would remember her and leave her alone.

((Yay I edited it. Sorry if this is powerplaying :/))

[Smokeleaf]

ooc: ...We're going back inside already? I sorta figured... after all that build-up, the suspense...... Honestly, I kinda thought they'd find Phantom there, that we could push the plot a bit more.... Thoughts?

[TrickyJinxy]

OOC: Yeah, I know... Molten, can you change the post a bit so that they won't go back to the volcano RIGHT away? Can't they just hang out in the forest a bit? Molten maybe could teach them how to hunt or something since they've never really hunted outside the volcano? That could work for a bit.

[Molten]

(( I edit my post! TAH-DAH! BEHOLD THE POWER-NESS OF MY NEW POST Oh and they're not in the forerst, they're on he slopes of the volcano. Or at least Molten is. But we should make them go to a forest or something.))

[TrickyJinxy]

OOC: K, that's a bit better.

[Smokeleaf]

Roantail swished his tail and snorted. Yeah. Find Molten. Great idea. He rolled his eyes and darted forward to catch up. Twice he almost fell as they made the descent down the volcano. He wasn't used to such a slope; the tunnels inside Blazeclan territory were typically far less steep, and going down usually consisted of leaping, not walking. Fortunately, he kept pace behind Amberheart, and neither she nor Molten appeared to notice his blunders.
"What do we do now?" he called as the pair caught up to their newfound companion. Go back? Who knew how long they had until Eternalstorm had had enough of Sunkit and realized the Pelts were missing. Still, the air out here was crisp and refreshing, and Roantail had a sinking suspicion they wouldn't be leaving the volcano again soon. Why not enjoy the opportunity? Molten had told them so much; he longed to drink this clear lava called "water" and feel the sensation known as "cold." What was so wrong about wanting to see the world, wanting to experience a life outside his own? He'd grown up believing he'd be cursed if he ever left their sanctuary, but he hadn't blown up yet. He kneaded the ground, waiting for someone to answer.
