    S h a r k b i t e


    Shark was a odd tom, it was hard to not seem him coming, his dark storm like coat could be seen for miles upon the moor. Blue eyes burning as he hunted among the grass. Feeling the soft ruffled of the grass under his soft pink pads. Prey was starting to get hard to catch, he hated it. Stalking a rabbit that had ended up needing to eat, his steps skilled and careful. Soon he launched his assault pouncing onto the rabbit before it could scream for help. The bite with his alabaster fangs ended the rabbit's life. A smile filled his lips a bit, it was quite plump.


    Picking up the freshkill he made his way into camp. He followed the patch he used as a child long ago when he ran from his abusive father and brother, making of home of the moor clan. He padded into the camp placing the plump rabbit into the pile before curling up to rest beside the warrior den. He had been eating as less and less, compared to before when the tom would feast on anything given. He knew others needed to eat before him, though he wouldn't admit it in the end. Quietly he yawned bored, glancing around the camp he looked for a clan mate to have a chat with. Not many enjoyed speaking with him, but he was sure someone wouldn't mind some small talk.

    Toffee never had trouble blending in with the moor. Her tan tabby fur and her golden eyes made it quite easy for her to camouflage herself with her surroundings. Although she could hunt easier, she never really liked it. It was drag and plain and it looked like a bunch of other cat's pelts.


    The former kittypet could be seen walking around the moor on most days. Although she was deemed a kit, she never really stayed in camp. She had not mother to scold her if she did walk away and most of her clanmates didn't talk to her. She began to wonder if leaving her twolegs, as they called it here, was a bad idea.


    As she trailed her around some grass, she noticed Shark looking around. "Hey Shark. How's it going." She asked as she padded over to the tom. She didn't really know him but she decided it wouldn't hurt to try and make a friend.

    His mind had made it into thought, He hadn't really been feeling well at point. His mind kept drifting back to the days of his youth, his father long since dead. His brother was what one would deem a sociopath and their mother was neglectful. No wonder he ended up here within the moor with that kind of family to look back on.


    Hearing steps behind he jerked his head a bit noticing the she that approached. She was younger then him, 6 months younger to be precise. Flicking an ear his narrow storm blue eyes glance down as heat raised onto his slate like pelt. He had made a fool of himself, had he not? Flustered the tom shook his head and looked over huffing. ``Why do you wanna know? But- Fine!!`` His defensive side went active as he questioned her, she could be of bloodclan, like his mother and brother were, she was from the twoleg place after. Those cats just made instant trouble!

    STRIKE OF LIGHTNING


    ✧ ✦ ✧ - tags

    Hearing his Clanmate's defensive tone sparked Lightningtooth's curiosity. He padded over to the group, but didn't say anything, since he didn't know what was going on exactly. He stood about 2 feet away from Sharkbite and Toffee, watching them with his green eyes. However, his gaze wasn't at all intense, and wouldn't startle them or make them uncomfortable.

    Jasper eyes saw two of his clanmates, Toffee and Sharkbite, and Sharkbite seemed to be bristling. Jasper eyes knew he was a defensive cat, Toffee had probably made him nervous on accident. Lightningtogth was watching, and since there wasn't really a place for him to fit in the conversation as of now, so he lay down and focussed his gaze on a small grasshopper. He didn't want to stare, or make the two cats uncomfortable.

    Toffee was a bit taken back from his actions. "Um, well, my name is Toffee. I just joined Windclan. I'm sorry if I spooked you." She said cautiously. She didn't want Sharkbit to react negatively again. Although, she wasn't quite sure what she did wrong. Maybe he just didn't know her. Oh who was she kidding. No one knew her.


    S h a r k b i t e


    Narrow pale blue eyes soften, for a mere moment as he huffed letting heat linger upon his slate blue skin. He shook his head before turning his gaze over to her and responding simply. ``Well, 'toffee' I'm Shark- I don't why you joined by understand, betray this clan and I'm-a rip your ear off.`` He bluntly stated as his eyes returned back into narrow slits.

    PAPERPAW ☆ ☆ ☆


    Having been minding her own business, watching a grasshopper hop its way towards Jaspereyes, Paperpaws' fur raised at the defensive tone that Sharkbite was using.


    Until she spotted Toffee. Unfortunately for a lot of her non clan born clan mates, she still hadn't gotten over her prejudice of non pure blood cats. She smirked as Sharkbite made statements about Toffee - she'd love to see this play out.


    BUMBLEFOOT ○ ○ ○


    Something in Sharkbites tone set off warning signals for Bumblefoot and crossed quickly to the pair. He was surprised Jaspereyes hadn't stepped in to stop this, but it could be settled easily.


    "That's not fair Sharkbite. I'd bet that Toffee has done more hunting for this clan than you have in the past week. Being a kittypet doesn't make her useless - just like being called Sharkbite didn't seem to make you sharp." He reeled off, feeling uncomfortable talking for Toffee.

    Jaspereyes glanced at Sharkbite, hoping Toffee didn't get offended by his words. Shark bite seemed to be telling her not to betray them, but Toffee had no reason to. If, at the end of their interaction, Toffee seemed upset, he would definitely talk to her. Bumble step had made his way over though, and Jaspereyes was glad Toffee wasn't by herself anymore. Maybe I should've gone over.. Too late now.

    ☄ ----~ Zeph snorted as he made his way over to the growing group. He stood a little ways near his leader, giving Jaspereyes a pointed look. Though Zephyrbee could relate to Sharkbite's loyalty in wanting to protect his clan from potential threats, this was a very childish way of going about it. Zeph was shocked that Jasper wasn't scolding the younger tom for threatening a fellow clan-mate. Whether in good humor or half-hearted, cats didn't trust those who intimidated them when in battle. Sharkbite could inevitably make himself a liability if he fought against bonding with his clan-mates.

    Zephyrbee rolled his eyes in further annoyance at Bramblefoot's response. Kudos to defending the molly - though she should, by now, either be used to suspicion or be able to defend herself, but he was going to make the problem bigger by further insulting Shark by underestimating his hunting. Not a smart idea, hitting a guy like Sharkbite in the ego.


    With one last glance at Jaspereyes to see if his leader would disapprove, Zeph decided to step forward.

    "How about we all take a moment to calm down and settle this like adults and not squabble like kittens?" Zephyrbee offered, his gaze hard and his tone just as cool. Looking from one cat to another, he said, "A hunting patrol. Toffee can show Sharkbite herself -" he shot bumblefoot a pointed look, "that she's a capable apprentice, and Sharkbite can learn to judge actions before backgrounds. Or he can say he's right should Toffee fail. Easy-peasy and all that, any objections?" he questioned, his eyes daring anyone to disagree.

    At least this way he could get these cats to return to their duties once more.

    Jasper eyes felt eyes on him, and he met the gaze of Zephyrbee. The tom seemed to disprove of how Jaspereyes was handling things, and Jaspereyes realized he was probably right. Great, AsterStar would've known what to do.. Just then, Zephyrbee stepped into the argument himself, handling it rather well, if both Toffee and SharkBite agreed. Hmmm... Jasper eyes gave Zephyrbee an approving look, mixed with apology for not doing something himself.

    S h a r k b i t e


    Shark flattened his ears at the rude statement of bumble. Moving his gaze over he huffed. ``It's not like I never said she should frickin' leave. I just said that if she tries anything I'm not afraid to hurt her.`` He rolled his eyes glaring down the other tom that had come up and chosen to speak. ``Ugh not you too- I don't care how much she can hunt! If she tries something I'm just saying I'm going to not be afraid to hurt 'em!``He sighed annoyed. Who knew, seeing she can hunt. She probably did have ties to bloodclan after all! The pairs calls still fell upon death ears, he was paranoid. Though it was a good reason was it not?

    Jaspereyes made himself go over now. He really didn't want to make SharkBite feel as if he was being ganged up on, but he had to say something. "SharkBite, you don't have to be wary of Toffee. You can trust her, she is your clan mate." He tried not to sound scolding, only informative. Have I done it right? How will he react? Hopefully his words would calm SharkBite, but it was doubtfully going to be that easy.

    ☄ ----~ Zephyr didn't pay heed to Jasperstar's look of apology. The leader would need to learn on his own time when and how to take his own action. Insecurities were common for anyone new to power, Zeph understood that, but he would do no one good if he started apologizing for it. You can't help your anxiety, you can only do your best to manage it.

    He said nothing as Sharkbite went on the defensive. Zephyr had been trying to form a balance between the three cats, as he didn't agree with any of them anyway, but as mentioned, hitting the ego of someone like Sharkbite only lead to disaster, especially if he was trying to mean well.

    "I suggested the hunting patrol as a means to bond," his eyes flashed as he opened his mouth o say more, then shut it quickly, knowing his own steely tongue would make things worse. Turning to Jaspereyes, he asked, "Will you join us?" implying that he was probobly going to drag Sharkbite onto the patrol whether he liked it or not. Poor shark.

    His ears flattened once he realized the leader had come over. Jasper's thought of him feeling ganged up on was honestly the truth. For starclan sake man. Sighing her narrowed his eyes to Toffee, last time he trusted a kittypet the love of his life was slaughtered. Narrowing his storm blue depths he looked down onto the ground below him. Everyone expects him to just be happy-go-lucky with a cat he barely knew? ``Whatever..`` He muttered like an angry teenager. It's not like he had much of a choice on coming along, he had just gone out hunting and now was being sent off again. Not that he'd bring it up though, last thing he wanted was to seem weak in front of the possibly dangerous she-cat. //I'm so sorry shark is so rude to poor toffee

    ☄ ----~ Zephyrbee was reminded of his earlier thoughts when in Bumblefoot's presence as he doted on his daughter ; Fatherhood and children sucked. Sharkbite's teenager angst was further evidence of that. Starclan, if every cat was like this bratty, aggressive tom, they'd kill each other before the day ended! Zephyrbee shook his head, before beckoning Sharkbite along, "Come, then, Shark-" he fought the urge to finish with -kit, "-bite. Do you have any preference in hunting areas?" he asked, giving the younger tom a chance to regain some control.


    //I SHIP IT!

    Zephyr would too if he wasn't so salty


    all opinons ic shark bby i promise your precious Zeph is just a grumpy old man

    Narrow slate blue eyes moved to Zephyrbee once again, a grunt exited his throat as he sighed shrugging a bit as annoyance seemed to be fading away, lightly. Flicking his ear he waited carefully a bit before responding. ``Anywhere is fine, just as long as it's not empty..`` The thought of finding less prey then normal crossed his mind. Rolling his eyes lightly, of course right. Everything always goes wrong. Doesn't it? //Toffeebite tbh works way too well with the character Sharkie is based on.

    Jasper eyes knew where that worry might be coming from. The moor was little more than baked earth now, with barely a mouse to be found, let alone a rabbit. Suddenly, he remembered a place RabbitFlight had spoken of, when they'd talked together. "Zephyrbee, could RabbitFlight come along as well? She may know a few places to look for prey." Jasper eyes also remembered that the place she'd spoken of was home to rogues. If we hunt there, it mustn't be frequent. We have no claim to that land.
