Family Ties and Friendly Lies

Flameclaw inhaled deeply, taking in the scents of the forest. It was a warm day, the way she liked it. New leaf was coming to an end. It had been getting hotter for the last few days. Flameclaw liked that too.
She came to a rest at the Riverclan boarder. She sat at the river's edge, her paws almost touching the water. She looked down at the river. She could barely see her reflection, and the rushing water made ripples in her silhouette. Flameclaw sighed, her fiery amber eyes were staring right back up at her. It's like her reflection was trying to tell her something, but Flameclaw didn't know what.
Flameclaw remembered the white cat she had met across the river several weeks ago, and then later at the gathering. Why had there been so much familiarity between them? And why had that sudden memory of herself as a kit come into her head at that moment? Flameclaw wanted answers. She wanted Starclan to give her some.
Flameclaw looked up at the sky. It was clear and blue. A gentle breeze ruffled her orange fur. Flameclaw breathed deeply, enjoying the wind. It was really relaxing being alone at the riverside. It was always a good place for Flameclaw to gather her thoughts.
Flameclaw had considered going to the moon pool to talk to starclan. She would have to talk to the medicene cat first. Of course, there was the fact that Flameclaw wasn't sure if she should tell the medicene cat about her suspicions about the riverclan cat.
Flameclaw sighed, sometimes there were things she had to keep to herself. She did, however, wish that there was someone to share her questions with.

A skinny calico she-cat padded underneath the shade of the trees. She paused for a minute and took a breath of air. Miracleflame loved the trees, she didn't know why. IT was just something that she always had a love for. She loved hearing the rustling leave and she greatly appreciated the shade they provided, especially on really hot days. Today was no different, for it was very hot now that New-Leaf was just about over. The white-and-brown she-cat was standing in the shade of a great sycamore. Miracleflame leaned against the trunk of the great tree and laid down.

Then, as she began to doze off, another scent hit her nose. She groggily lifted her head sniffed the air. One of her Clanmates as nearby, by the scent of it, it was Flameclaw. The scent came from the direction of the river. Odd, why is she so close to the border of RiverClan? She stood, stretched, and slowly padded away from the shade of the sycamore and headed to the river.

As she approached the river, she came to a halt at the edge of the trees. In front of her was the orange she-cat, Flameclaw, staring at the water. "Hello, Flameclaw" She mewed before padding over to her. She then realized something. Ever since the last Gathering ThunderClan attended, the ginger she-cat has been distant and been disappearing down to the shore as of late. "You've been coming down here alot, lately. Is there something wrong?" Her question was asked lightheartedly, but she was curious and also worried about her. Her light blue eyes gazed at Flamerclaw as she waited for her reply.
