## Chronological information

### First appearance

His first roleplay appearance was in his tree

Druk is a Dark brown tom-cat with a cream coloured muzzle, beige paws and a dark brown mane. Druk has strangly light Golden eyes, and a pinkish brown muzzle. I wouldnt say Druk is sympathetic, but still knows not to cross the line with cats feelings, he always knows whats going on in others, and loves taking care of others... Well, he doesnt love it, its more like his instinct to do so!

## History

### Early life

Druk was born to Koarlok and Yin. Yin happened to be a loner in the past and became a kittypet, because of Koarlok. Yin didnt appreciate the fact of being a kittypet, sh when Druk was at the age of 7 moons, she left to become a loner again. Druk was alone with Koarlok, Druk usally visited around the place, asking othe kittypets things, and soon he had found out that Yin had had another mate, and another kit, named Takko!

When druk was from twelve to thirteen moons, he left his kittypet home and Koarlok behind to become a loner, hoping to impress his mother by doing that, but unfortunately he hasn't heard from her since then, apparently the twolegplace is still buzzing about her, that shes still here nd a lot of cats sill do see her, but Druk is somehow at the wrong place at the wrong time, and gave up moons at fifteen moons...

After that, he strayed near the clans of NightClan, FrostClan, BlazeClan and CloudClan, he passed through the whole territories near some other twolegplace, far away from where he was born, and decided to live a life not many cats experience, he decided to live in the upper canyon of the forest. He sleeps in a tree near the CloudClan border, not many cats have seen him before, he knows how to keep quiet, stealthy and camouflage, but those who have seen him before havent made out what or who he was before.

#### Meeting Nightpaw

When Druk was about twelve moons he wanted to explore a little further into the clans terrirories, since the first time was him trying to find a place to settle in. He was nearing to the BlazeClan border. Then a young CloudClan apprentice leaped out of nowhere, Druk's insctincs made him attack her, and obhiously the Black clan apprentice stroke back, it was soon that she got tired of the fight and slammed Druk onto a tree, and broke a branch that fell literally on him, It scraped his eye a bit, and she suddenly felt very sorry and helped him. Which surprised him too, but he felt sorry for her too, and tried to act nicer around her... She asked for his name, and she introdused herself, her name was Nightpaw.

Nightpaw came around his little home/tree quite often, either to say hi, or probably to wake him up, Druk isnt much of a morning cat.

#### Confronting the other clan cats

Druk was simply sleeping in his tree as it was only just morning, and prety early, when an annoying little white, apprentice murmering to herself came chatting along with a bunch of trees and bushes. She was chatting to a bush for quite a while, when Druk got tired of it a slid off his tree to warn her that he wasnt a morning cat and he didnt appreciate being woken up, though the young apprentice took it seriously and clung/hugged at tree and accused Druk of spying on her. He told her a tree wont protect her, but she ignored, kept hugging the tree saying that it can and it *will* defend her, and then she told him he wasnt a good syp or a good intruder. He then informed that intrudin gor spying is the last thing hes planning and that hes just trying to get some sleep and live like a normal cat, like anyone really. She went back to the tree defence subject and protested ir cloud by throwing a stick and Druk, saying thats how trees defend cats, Druk for the final time said *no it can't...*

Then the apprentice asked him *what was that* he had no idea what she was talking about, so he just said what was what..? Nightpaw came and asked what was the comotion all about, Druk snapped at her to not interrupt. Nightpaw, sounding insulted told him he cannot tall her what to do, but Druk, told her she should take her own advice! Nightpaw said toms are so annoying but Druk asked her what toms have to do with being annoying, he added that she-cats arent easy to live with either! Nightpaw said *oh come on!* *but Druk wouldnt let it go,* he reinforced what she had just said, saying, *Oh so, should I just accept it* wanting her to think what she said was stupid and ridiculous! She said that some toms are annoying and some she's are too, hoping that Druk would let it go. But Druk still didnt look pleased he said "Want me to remind you what you said earlier..or you get the message??", While Druk made his point, the other apprentice clung onto a bush for another second, or two before attempting to sneak off, that but Druk stotted her and growled at her to get back here! While that Nightpaw teamsed him saying she got the massage, then calling him a Mr.Know-it-all, Druk sounded discusted and told her not to call him names...She hissed at him saying hes acting like a kit, Druk got tired of this, he told her to excuse herself, but not waitin gfor another annoying reply he jumped back into his tree, where he hoped he could settle in peace...Meanawhile the young apprentice replied very late saing no and running back to her camp, Druk hesitantly rolled his eyes at her and tried to settle in the peace...

#### Visiting the cave

One morning Nightpaw woke him up again, he reminded her that he wasnt a morning cat but she still ignored, Druk asked himself how she does it. Nightpaw then had no idea what to do, Druk got mad saying he got woken up for literally nothing, the he suggested hunting, Nightpaw went along with it for a few minutes until they got bored, mostly because they couldnt find anything. Then Nightpaw said she knew exactly where to go and pleaded Druk to follow her, he got tired of her whining and followed her to some cliff, but as he got closer, it started loking more like a waterfall, suddenly he noticed he had been walking beside a river this whole time and realised that it had been a waterfall. Nightpaw got the crazy idea of jumping in it, and down, she said there was a nice place there, Druk thought it was stupid, and after all he wasnt that waters best friend, but Nightpaw dived in no hesitation, she called him a dum-dum and told him to dive in, Druk did what he was told. Once they were at the bottom, he felt Nightpaw getting very excited, she scurried into the waterfall, where behind it there was a cave, Druk, again, hesitantly followed her. Nightpaw was gone for a sec and came back with a light green, dusty gem and gave it to him, Druk didnt know what to say, he just went with thanks, it was quiet for a sec, then as Nightpaw was about to talk, Druk felt uncomfortable and dropped to the ground and started to roll around like a dog, that completely cut Nightpaw off. She told him to get up, the first time he didnt hear the she then snapped at him to get up, he again, did what he was told. It was quiet again for a sec when Nightpaw got carried away and toutched noses with him, Druk backed away, his mind buzzing with what to do next...He dropped the the ground and said he forgot his daily exercise, he got up and said it was time to go...Before he was completely out of sight, he told her he was going to see her again, feeling a little guilty about leaving her....

When he was back at his tree he looked at the gem, he had apperantly kept it, he told himself that if he ever lost it, he would have forgoten all that had happened today, part of him wanted to throw it away to forget, but part of his told him, Its a bad idea to forget today. He keeps the dusty gem hidden in a secure branch, so It wont get lost, but he can also forget about it sometimes.

#### The new twolegplace

Druk was near the twolegplace that was beside CloudClan, he was looking at some twoleg bushes and plants, sniffing them, trying to indentify them, suddenly he caught Nightpaw's scent, thinking she must be near, he felt akward and akwardly left what he was doing and slowly started walking in the opposide direction of where he caught her scent. He heard Nightpaw hissing angirly at herself, that suddenly made him stop, he placed himself behind a tree and looked back. He saw her get up a tree, his quick thinking made him climb another tree, so he wouldnt be spotted or yelled at, or to dodge the akward feeling of the other day. She hissed at herself again, jumping down from the tree, he followed what he could see of her, and wondered what was the deal. Then he realised he was basically spying, and he kinda fely guilty, but he continued following her shadow...Nightpaw had no idea who was following her so she hissed at him to be left alone. He ingored her comment, he just brushed by further in the tree out of her sight, he knew she was angry and the only reason she wanted to be alone was because she was angry, but he still followed, out of her sight. Nightpaw noticed it was Druk she shouted at him to walk with her, at that oment he felt his blood pressure go from 85 to 1200, as he jumped down from his tree he felt so wierd he almost landed on his face. Nightpaw told him she had lost her mothers flowers, that made Druk feel a whole lot worse remembering how harsh his own mother was, he felt sorry for Nightpaw but for himself too he'd realised if her mother gave her flowers, she must have been nice to her, and not mean. She tried telling her to use her nose to smell but his voice was all shaky. Nightpaw told him her mother had died, he asked her if she was nice to her, she said her mother was but not her father, Druk told her its better than none, she said guessed Druk quetionably, Druks blood pressure whent twice as fast, he had no idea what she had said but she knew she was questioning his kithood. He was right, Druk said what, and she asked how was his kithood, that made Druk mad, and grumpy, he angirly said it was fine!

#### Meeting CloudClan cats

Suddenly Nightpaw said she smelled foxes, Druk hissed at her, saying he couldnt smell anything! She protested saying the scent was fresh, pointing at a thick lush of grass, but Druk retorically said sure there are foxes. Nightpaw heard pawsteps coming closer and hissed at Druk to get up a tree, but Druk stalled on the ground, saying theres nothing there! Nightpaw gasped, then sarcastically, Oh nothing there? Druk said yes theres *nothing* then he said she was overreacting! But as he turned around he saw a foxes nose, that made him jump. But before anything could happen, Pebblesnow a clan cat of CloudClan appeared and asked what was going on, Druk hissed at all creatures surrounding him, so they would all give him a break! Pebblesnow said he was just collecting herbs, he sounded offended, Druk then asked if this was clan territory, he was causious when asking that, careful not to be attacked or pounced at, Pebblesnow frowned saying yes it was, Druk said embarassed that it was his cue to go. He looked back where there was supposed to be a fox, and he felt his blood turn into ice as he saw nothing there, when he saw that the fox wasnt there he was more hesitant of going back to his tree, he told himself he was stuck in between two evils, he started to back away, very slowly. Pumkinheart of CloudClan scoffed at Druk moking him of being scared of foxes, Druk didnt reply, he wasnt scared but causious, but he didnt need a clan cat to know that. Pebblesnow asked if something was holding him up, Druk hissed at her that nothing was holding him back, but when he saw Nightpaw, the apprentice who toutched noses with him, again his blood pressure went faster. Druk couldnt take it anymore, he climbed back up into the trees, And then threatened the Clan cats not to track down where he slept, then the leader of CloudClan appeared and asked what was going on! As soon as Druk heard the leader of CloudClan, Rainstar, he hid and didnt make a sound hoping not to have been heard, he did not want to confront the leader of a Clan!

Then suddenly Nightpaw squealed that there really was a fox! Druk tried not to make a sound, so the leader wouldnt see him, or the fox or anyone!He felt caught in between two evils more than ever now! He clung on to the branch with his claws so hard, but Nightpaw called out to the fox like a kit, that made Druk jump, he slapped his tail onto his branch to make Nightpaw shush up! Then the young apprentice from the other day came, her name was Squeakpaw, she was curious of the things happening around here, but she had no idea what, suddenly Druk felt scared for her, he knew he had to be noticed, bu he still told her to climb up a tree in a hurry, he felt all the stares torwards him, of all the CloudClan cats, he tried ignoring it. Relief flooded over him when he saw Squeakpaw clung onto a tree, but he knew it wasnt over. He could feel pawsteps under him, then he heard the leader saying he smelled a rouge, he overheard the leader saying that hed take care of the fox too. When the leader said *rouge* he felt slightly insulted by the comment, since he was a loner, what he was, was important to him, since being a loner was to please his dumb and ignorant mother. As the leader asked what druk's name was, he asked if he was talking to him, seeing if he could win some time, he saw Squeakpaw getting the foxes attention, Dreuk leaped it and pushed Squeakpaw out of the way, into a bush where she was out of sight, then Dreuk threw mud at the fox, to draw his attention torwards him. The leader said Druk looked like he has been in this territory, Druk flattened his ears, saying he had, Nightpaw said youve gotta wound the fox first, Druksaid that, gee he didnt know that, rolling his eyes as he jumped on the foxe's back, giving him a scratch, and a distraction, then he leaped off and slid under it, then the leader said hed handle that fox first, then talk about what do do with me, then Nightpaw bossily said to mave, shed had a plan. Druk corrected that he was a loner, he said Y*ou cant choose what to do with me, I decide if i have anything to do with you* he had meowed insolently. Druk was under the first fox, he stood up, knocking the fox off balance, Nightpaw was impresed, and Druk reminded her how he got his scar, and to do the same thing to the fox! She jumped on a branch and pulled her weight on it to make it fall on the fox, she jumped off once the branch was broked as it slammed onto the fox, killing it. Druk nodded saying nice move, as he spotted the other fox looking at Nightpaw, Druk took a leap at its neck tearing flesh from it, causing it to loose blood. Nightpaw asked if Rainstar was okay, when Druk saw the fox loose so much blood, he got a little freaked out, asking himself, loud enough for the other cats to hear, if he was to one who did that, even if he knew he had. Rainstar said she had lost a life, and then got mad at Nightpaw for going ahead and attacking it when her leader told her not to. Druk was tired of listening to their bickering. Suddenly Nightpaw asked if someone was okay, Druk asked who she was talking to. Rainstar went back to the subject that Nightpaw couldve gotten killed, then Druk hissed at Rainstar to look at the fact that she didnt loose anyother lives thanks to Nightpaw! Then Nightpaw asked Druk if he was okay, he suddenly felt akward again, he said he was okay. Nightpaw licked his ears asking if he was sure, Druk moved away saying he was sure, that he was perfectly fine. Rainstar hissed at him saying no one had asked him! Druk admitted that apparently not, but that his opinion was needed, Nightpaw went over and licked him again saying thats good, Druck was annoyed of her licking him all the time, he said, yeah its great, very akwardly. Rainstar then, listed a bunch of deaths she had seen, Druk mocked saying thats because shes older that Dust, then he felt Nightpaws tail curl over to him, Druk swished his tail away, and went back into his upper-world into the trees. Then Nightpaw hissed at him to came back, and stay with him, she pleaded, he asked why she would want him...

##### Being scarred again

Rainstar has seemed to have enough of him, she climbed after, and grabbed him clawing him down, as she stood over him she clawed his face, with half of his scarred face bleeding and half of his non-scarred face bleeding, he scuffled out of her grip, tired to attack back, she leaped again at him biting his scarred ear. Nightpaw pleaded him again, to stay, he hissed at her that he was leaving! She pleaded to come with him if that was the case, he said No, Im not leaving just yet, then he shot another insolent glance at Rainstar, who was starting to attack Nightpaw, she said she couldnt fight that it was against the Warrior Code, druk asked *The Warrior Code?*

Squeakpaw wa up in her branch looking th the cats being attacked by the leader, *Im am Squeakpaw!* she had meowed Nightpaw turned to Squeakpaw saying *Hi* and Rainstar looked at her. Nightpaw said she couldnt believe how Rainstar had gotted nine lives, and Druk asked what are nine lives again. Then Squeakpaw got all whiny about cats focusing on her, or something, Druk ignosed saying he was not focusing on her anyways! Then he looked at all the stare-y clan cats and tried attempting going back home again, hoping not to be dragged down and scarred again like before, then being lectured on a boring Warrior Code or some stuff like that.. He heard Pebblesnow ask if the cats were okay, Druk ignored, his face bleeding from Rainstars attack, he was having trouble seeing, getting back home was going to be a challenge, but not the biggest one...

#### Into the forest

Druk was at the border of CloudClan in his tree, he jumped down and looked aorund, he made his was out of CloudClan territory, and into the forest next to it. He countinued walking in it, hoping something interesting would happen. Then Nightpaw called out his name, running after him, hoping hed stop, Druk siged, and stopped walking, waiting for her to catch up. Nightpaw had asked where he was going, he replied that he was just joing where his paws led him, though he was lying of course. Nightpaw asked again if he was sure, he said that he was, in a low voice. Nightpaw said she was coming, she caught up, she said a sooo, wondering what now but Druk just nodded. Nightpaw was asking what, he just said it was nothing. he looked at the twoleg place that was about a few miles away, he was wondering where hs mother was, or his sister. Then Nightpaw licked her paws, saying *I wonder* she wraped her tail around his, that made druk react quickly, he told her he was heading to the twolegplace, not wanting to go into the cave incident all over. Nightpaw asked if he was going with her, looking a little hurt, Druk felt a bit sorry for dodging her again, and again, he said in a soft voice that she was always allowed to come. Nightpaw seemed relieved, saying sure hapily and toutching her nose with his cheek, Druk again, moved saying to come on, that they had to go!

She had asked Druk why they had to hurry, or go quickly, Druk said its a long one, as he started to walk her pace to satisfy her. She just replied by saying *okay handsome* that didnt please Druk, but he ignored and kept walking. Nightpaw, said she dodnt feel comfortable so far from camp, she ran back. Druk had rolled his eyes, at her, he looked at the big fence in front of him, and jumped on it. Looking at the huge twolegplace, he knew it had to wait another day. He jumped off the fence back into the forest.

#### The truth all along

Dreuk was walking back from the twolegplace, Nightpaw appeared and said hi, he just said hello back, there was a pause. She touched his nose again, but he backed away asking what was up, trying to start a conversation, and avoiding the oggies. Then suddelny Nightpaw burst out, and confessed her love to Druk, to Druk it seemed too sudden, he had no idea what to say, he didnt really think of her more than just a simple friend. He stammered fro a second saying, well that he did like her, but not the way she does, Nightpaw asked if she wanst good enough for him, he said its not that, that its different, then he just walked away...

##### Working things out

Later when he ran into Nightpaw again, she was mad at him, he had asked why and she just replied gee, I wonder why! He knew what this was all about, he explained that he never meant to hurt her, he was only doing it for there own good, Nightpaw rolled her eyes, but Druk continued, saying she had to understand, that he liked her too. Nightpaw wasnt convinced but was a lot happier than before. They talked for a while, she was asking things about the future, Druk focused on the present, which was what he preferred.

Nightpaw seemed happier that before, once she started strolling back to her territory, Druk felt better too, having it out of his chest and Nightpaw not being mad at him! He looked at her stroll back home, he watched timm the last moment.

### 270 AG

#### New appearences

Druk was up in another tree, quitely looking at the twolegplace, saying and doing nothing, apart from thinking...

When suddenly some cream-coloured apprentice, with grey/blue stripes, came barging in his quiet moment shouting out that he won! He explained something, Druk barely payed attention, when then he said the name Nightpaw, and explaining that he was her slave, or something, then squealing again that hed won. Nightpaw came behing shouting out the name Ekopaw, Druk guessed that was the apprentices name. Nightpaw got up the same tree as him, Druk siged, knowing he just couldnt catch a break! Ekopaw then started treating Nightpaw and Druk of being boyfriend and girlfriend, Druk said she wasnt his girlfriend, and Nightpaw repeated over and aven that she wasnt his girlfriend, Druk rolled his eyes, repeating in his head that he could never catch a break! Ekopaw shrugged telling them if thats what they liked, Nightpaw yelled again that same thinf, and Ekopaw replied the same thing. Then Ekopaw started to hum a little song in his head, which bothered Druk, very much, then Nightpaw asked if he was okat, that he looked sad, Druk got interrupted by Ekopaw shushing them, explaining that he was busy singing! The he started to sing louder, enough that he could hear his own voice. Druk tried to shush Ekopaw, by saying Shush up furball! Ekopaw frowned and sang even louder, he was basically yelling by now. Nightpaw screeched to Ekopaw!

Then Ekopaw finished his song, shouting out the word "BANG!!" then he stood up, watching them both like some vulcan. She yelled at Ekopaw to go away, and Druk just got tired of this, Ekopaw nodded stubbornly, "What are you gonna do abput it? Kill me!?" he mocked, "Rainstar doesnt really like you! If you kill me, an adopted apprentice..shell only give you a hard time!" he remarked, "Make me!" he dared her, She screamed even louder, What, Ekopaw hissed back! Nightpaw taunted Ekopaw that she would shred Druk, kopaw jumped, "No, I wont let you!" he wimpered, he frowned, "And Id like to see ya try!" he challenged her, knowing that she wouldnt really do it..."Seroiusly, I can never catch a break!" Druk hissed loudly, and got down the tree, giving Ekopaw and icy stare. Nightpaw concluded telling Ekopaw to go away. Ekopaw scattered away, and Druk nwent in his own direction. He had had enough for one day!

#### Being himself again

Druk was in peace, in a little shadow near his favourite tree/home, he was watching/staring in front of him, Nightpaw was searching for him, he heard her call out his name, Druk stayed still, not wanting to be bothered, but Nightpaw yelled out his name very loud, his pelt prickled, with annoyance at that, he went over to her and told her to shut up! Unless she wanted everyone to hear her. He gave her an icy glare, Nightpaw looked down at her paws, and said she got what she wanted, the said goodbye, Druk was pretty annoyed, he threatened her to tell her what did she really want, she said it wasnt important, thats when Druk knew what she meant, he still didnt want to look sus, so he asked again, she said it was if he really meant what he had said, Druk told her that yes, but Nightpaw didnt believe it, she said she quessed that he didnt really like her, Druk flicked his tail he said she didnt know that, he explained he hadnt taken it back yet, and he wont, her ears twitched, "Im not sure, now. Druk, Its diffrent for me! And harder! I don't want to be mean, but I think your lying." she told him, "Oh, you dont wanna be mean hun!?" he threatened, "You don't love me, do you Druk?" she asked, "Ugh! Just drop it!" he hissed, "Honestly, Im really wondering if your the one lying, now!" he hissed at her! "I never lied in my life, and hopefully I never will! Just, please. Druk, do you actually love me? ANSWER!" She hissed, sitting. "If you answer, I will tell you the truth. I promise." she explained, He turned his head away, "Im not sure I want to know the truth..." he admitted, "But I already told the truth, to you!" he meowed. Then Nightpaw insisted that she loved him, Druk just said alright, in return...

#### Old friends

Druk was in the twolegplace again, he'd made it, he felt pride surge through him...He looked around, and spotted a rouge group faraway, he jumped on a twoleg nest, and headed torwards the group. Lima was with a group of rouges, laughing with them, and eating...Druk saw his old buddy, Lima there, "Lima?!" he called out, Lima turned her attention to him, "Druk? Is that you!?" she called out, she went torwards him and knocked him down, "weak as always old buddy!" she teased, "Welp, I never thought i'd find you here!", he growled, playfully, Lima slapped him, "Where have you been? Mouse-brain!" she scoulded, "Hey, watch it!" he warned, "Ive been near that clan borders!" he remarked.

Lima reminded him, again that he was a mouse-brain. Druk rolled his eyes.

##### Getting to have fun again

Druk was snoozling on his small and lonely tree when Nightpaw came, and sat beside him, that, unfortunately woke him up, but somehow he was in a pretty good mood, Nightpaw suggested they went for a walk and Druk was up for it, he lunged down the tree very umbalanced, and landed on his face, as much as he had mud all over his face and his nose was bleeding, he still gave Nightpaw a sweet smile from where she was.

Druk mentioned that hed met an old buddy earlier on, and thats why he was in a great mood, and that made Nightpaw go all grumpy again. She then brought up a silly subject asking who he liked better, he had no idea where that came from, thinking it was so obhious that he liked Nightpaw better. He literally told her, but she semmed to have doubts about it, so Druk playfully leaped and her, and they both rolled into andther puddle of mud. He repeated that he liked her better, saying he would never have done that with Lima in a million years. Nightpaw seemed more sure about that now.

#### Hunting like a normal decent cat...

She looked around. "What..?" he asked "Any prey?", "Uuuh, Im not sure!" "Theres a mouse", meowed Nightpaw, "Okay, your catch!" he meowed, she quietly went torwards it, and Druk made absolutely no noises. Then he heard her say thatshe caught it, he turned his head around to her, and congratulated her. Druk also looked around, since Nightpaw pleaded him to catch something to please her. He spotted a shrew, somehow, nibbling bark, he shrugged, and leaped at it, with full power, but he miscalculated his landing and landed face on on the tree, he had the shrew caught in his claws, luckily, and also had a nosebleed for the second time today...

Nightpaw suggested they eat their catches, but Druk became aufully unsure about that, He suggested it would be better if she gave it to the kits and elders of her clan, offering his shrew, wondering if it was what she was supposed to do. She agreed that it was supposed to be that way, but then said theyd already been fed, and that its just Druk and her right now, druk wasnt a clan cat, bu he still felt guilty, and he just kept fiddling with his shrew. By then Nightpaw got the message, and told him, to leave the shrew, that it was okay to not eat anything. Although that made him feel a little better, he felt sorry for Nightpaw now...

### 171 AG

#### Getting a mate!!

Druk was marching around his base, wondering where Nightpaw was, he hadnt seen her in long, and felt lonely and bored, he tried calling out for her. He suddenly heard, Nightpaws voice call out for him too, Nightpaw yelled that she missed him so much, that made him smile, saying thanks, and returning the comment. He asked where she'd been, and she said she passed her warrior assesment and got her warrior name. He congratulated her, and she asked where he was, he came out of a thorn bush that sat beside her, saying hed been in his base all of that time.

##### Mentioning kits

Nightshine started blushing and asked if she could ask him something, he smiled to make her feel more comfortable, and said thats what he was here for! She replied saying a nervous, 'So'. His tail was brushing onto the grass near him, as he waited for her to start her question, She asked if he knew the secret of her liking him, he said he was aware and hed return the sentence too, but didnt want o interrupt, she said then that Okay, shell start. She suddenly blurted out that she really, really liked him, and asked to be his mate, Druk instantly blushed, saying O-Of course, unable to say anymore. She asked about kits is they had any, who would keep them, as much as it would hurt Druk to see his kits grow up, barely knowing him, he said it would be best for them to not have a father than no mother, and that she should raise them. Nightwish said he would get to see them a lot of the time, with her raising them, she then purred at him saying thanks, he nodded, having no clue why...

#### Wish coming true

Nightshine was looking for him again, while he was happily in the sumlight, rolling around on the soft grass. Night said that she had something inportant, he listened, she was utterly shy, and that bothered Druk, he told her she could say anything to him, she asked him to be mature, he had a thought about that, and said hed promise to be mature about it.

She explained that she was expecting kits, and was worried! Druk mocked her, playfully, aking why would she not be excited, like he was!

#### Another encounter

Druk was doing what he was doing yesterday, again, when a bushy, fluffy tom, came asking who he was, Druk was amused, and said he was another crazy cat you dont meet everyday! The tom greeted him, tipping his head, and Druk finally asked who he was. The tom told him to call him charming or flatteredm whichever, and Druk repeated that, saying it was nice to meet him...

#### Lima again

Druk ran into Lima, she jumped on him, imitating a flying squirrel! He shoved her off, telling her not to do that, she smiled and asked whats new, he said he had something, Lima seemed more intrested in what she was goig to say, so he explained it could wait.

Lime cried out she had something important too, she mentioned it could wait, and somehow ended her semtence with a but, making it sound important! He told her to go ahead, and she made another one of her common siles, in thanks, she carried on reminding him theyd been through a lot! Druk was dissapointed, reminding her that no, not really, then forced her to carry on, anyways! She looked hurt but that didnt stop her from saying to face it, and that she liked him, Druk felt wierd and shakey, and kept saying no, in dissaproval, blurting out he had a mate, expecting kits anyday now! Strangely Lima looked happy and satisfied, she purred wishing him luck, that that was awesome news! He nodded again, saying he was sorry! Stone, who was Lima's father appeared from behind her, he spat at Druk calling him a jerk, and asking why he would turn her away! Druk could feel that this wasnt good news! "Excuse me for that, I cant possibly cheat on my mate though!" he shuddered, feeling guilty and sad, He growled and snorted, "I cant believe that!" he spat, and lunged at him, knocking Druk off his paws, Druk flipped around sliding under Stone's belly, he flicked himslef up, kicking him backwards, he could feel Stones weight slow him down, Stone growled at the young cats force, "You dont deserve her anyways!" he smiled, and lunged at him, he clawed his paws as he was pulling on top of him, Druk grunted, and tried to bite Stoned neck, as it was unprotected, but his claws were digging deep in his paws, and it was hard to pull out without tearing flesh off them first, Stone smiled at the young cats incapability of getting out of his grip, he smiled happily, as he placed his back leg onto his belly, and unseathed his back claws, his ther leg, was minplaced onto his tail, Nightshine crouched, and pounced on Stone. Druk took a risk, he couldnt die before seeing his kits, he couldnt! He ripped out of Stones grip, and flopped onto the ground beside, his front paws teared off, and spilling with blood, he was habing trouble seathing and unseathing his claws.

Stone grunted, and gentely shook Nightshine off, While Druk was having a timeout working his paws, he could see a huge pool of blood flowing beside him, he took another lunge at Druk, and aimed at his spine this time, Druk had his claws unseathed at that moment, he could feel Stone was off-timing, and aimed at his neck. She pounced back at him, this time digging her claws in his shoulder, making blood dripp out. She knocked him off his paws. And then grunted. Stone, unfortunately was off timing, and Druk had taked some blood out of his neck, it wasnt that first time though, Stone spat some blood out, toppling on top of Druk, he looked at the young cat with angry eyes, and clawed back, hitting him at the wrong spot. "Nightshine! Be careful!" he cried out to her, as Druk was again, sitting under Stone, Nightshine yelled out shes fine, and doing it for their own good!

Nightshine may have kits but she was quite a match, he toppled on top of Druk, again, Stone growled, "You may put a match, but your not really one for me!", Druk was all limp after being under all of Stones weight, he tried lifting a paw, to aim at his neck again, She ignored him. She jumped on top of Stone, making a clear bite of his neck. And, for Druk to scratch hos neck, Stones neck was spilling blood everywhere, he looked at the limp young cat in front of him, that gave him some energy to finish it off, "Your the fool, who should have ingored your mate!" he hissed taking one more step, he clawed Druk's neck, Stone was covered in blood, and suddenly thing seemed more calm, as he went all limp a fell.

Druk shoved Stone off of him, and frowned at the dumb cat!

#### Forcing himself into another fight

Druk was quietly by the Nightclan border, a little muddled up about his past, he was confused, him having kits meant he had to move on, but he couldnt help but blame himself, for many things. He then, could feel another cat, close by his presence, and surely he was right, he heard that cat let out his frustration, Druk turned his ead at that moment, he narrowed his eyes wondering who was there but his expression didnt change, he still looked calm. The other cat layed down, scolding that he hated his life, Druk did a creepy perv smile, thinking he could relate.

Druk asked what was it, but the cat made a reply that didnt make any sence, so Druk repeated what he had heard, which was *de-what-the-what now* he asked. The cat rolled his eyes, Druk was a little offended, and scolded him to stop being so selfish, that his problems were important inthe least, that he needed to care about others! But he growled saying he was fine, and asking Druk to go away, Druk hated that kind of behaviour...

Druk didnt move at all, he just told him to try think of others before, but he retorted that he was thinking of others that were stressing him! Druk spat at him, to not call him *dude* because he wasnt! "You probaly have a mate... and kits, and you think everything is okay! Well, for me, everything is wrong!" He growled. "If you want to battle, come at me!", Druk gave him another one of his creepy smiles, "You think everythings okay for me, hun?" he snorted, "Guess you actually *terrible* at reading cats then!",

The stranger bounced to his paws and leaped at Druk, but he had seen that jump many times, and Druk calmly stepped out of the way, leaving him jumping at nothing. Then that cat jumped at him, again, at a quicked tempo, clawing his shoulders, Druk didnt really react, only shoving him off, he hissed at him to go away, but Druk wouldnt. "No thanks, Im offended by your way of speaking to me!", he barely made any expressions, "Is there anything wrong with having a mate, you little piece of mouse dung!" he showed off his teeth, meowed Druk. The cat apolagised saying he didnt realise he was a father, and asked Druk is he could possibly help? Druk showed showed off another smile, saying thats why he was here!

##### Something other than that

"W-well... I l-like these to cats. P-pearlpaw and B-brairthorn.... a-and... t-they said they l-like me back..." He started, tipping his head to a side, his paws shivering. "If you g-get to know, t-them, you would n-now why I f-feel, that way, but m-me, im terrible. T-they shouldn't feel they way I f-feel of them. B-but...." He put his head back to the middle. "T-they both won't to be my m-mate. B-but... I love them b-both.... a-and I don't w-won't to chooses. Its impossible. Everyone says I should be with P-pearlpaw, but I don't won't to break a-anyones heart. Please h-help me." He meowed, purring when he says 'Pearlpaw' and 'Brairthorn.' His eyes widened waiting for a comment, by this loner. "Who is nicer too you, less complicated and is there for you the most" he replied, "Thats all there is to ask yourself" he nodded. But he stubbornly said they were the same, but Druk asked him, who forced him to pick *now*? He said he wished he could pick both, Druk asked who said he couldnt, but then for some reasons, he quickly took that back, telling him not to mind what he just said!
