Flare woke up to darkness. She had fallen asleep before the sun had gone down the day before. When she took a closer look, she noticed it was almost sunrise, and little pinks and yellows could just be seen at the edge of the horizon. The clouds were dyed blood red in the sky, while the stars twinkled softly, knowing they'd soon be back again.
Stretching her jaws wide in a gaping yawn, Flare tried to remember where she was and how she had go there. Then she remembered the fight, the mud she had painfully slipped on, and what had happened. Her stomach growled, and Flare tried to get up, but a tightening made her remember the pain of slipping as well. Flopping back down she took to grooming her fur where dust had accumulated during her sleep.

Apolloeye came back from taking one of his usual night-time strolls, and he padded to the Elder's Den to see if Flare was up yet. He grabbed a mouse and a vole on his way by the fresh-kill pile just incase she was. He walked into the den, being careful to be quiet. Flare? He whispered, hoping he wouldn't wake her if she was asleep.

Flare flicked her ears up, and it took a moment for her to notice who it was. Then it clicked. Apolloeye. Had he just said her name? Why was he over here? Flare's mind felt jumbled, and it took her a moment to sort things out. She felt dizzy, and she still had head rush from getting up t fast and plopping back down. After a moment she replied,
"Uh. Yeah right here." Flare's voice was thick with sleep, and she felt as if someone had shaken her head. Then she eyed the fresh kill. "That for me?" She asked, her mouth watering.

Apolloeye dropped the vole down and crouched next to her. M-mind if I eat with you? He whispered, hoping she wouldn't object. No one else is up, and I don't like eating alone. His ears twitched nervously and the end of his tail twitched. I wish I could see her! he thought, and, for a moment, considered asking her what she looked like.

Flare shook her head, regretting it afterward as her head swarmed. Closing her eyes and squinting for a moment, she said, "No, go ahead. Gah, my head is killing me." Flare hoped it the food would give her some more strength. "But um, I was considerng asking if you'd help me, I don't think I can eat that much." She gestured with a nod of her head towards the plump vole and mouse. "Mind if I take the vole? But yeah, I'm weight watching, I don't wanna blow my body out of porportion"

Apolloeye nodded, hoping she would be able to see him. He didn't know how dark it was, but just incase she hadn't seen the nodd he mewed, Go ahead. He took a bite of the mouse, it's bones crunching in his teeth. He was only a mouse-length away from Flare. He could hear her breathing and he could feel heat flowing off her body. Would you like me to get you some poppy seeds? I can even get them fresh from the forest. I've smelled them when I was out hunting once, He offered, twitching his ear.

Flare had just taken a large bite of the vole, adn she turned to Apolloeye, licking her lips, and swallowing loudly. She frowned at him a bit. How delicate did he think she was? Stretching out her front paws, she claws at the ground a bit, and then did the same to her back legs, ignoring the pain in her stomach.
"No. I can handle it. Besides, the food might help me a bit. I'd like to get out and get some air, but blah blah. I can't. Anyways, I don't rather feel like biting your nose. Although, it'd be nice to get some fresh clean flowing water. Don't you find it refreshing when the water sprays up, and then it's so nice and cold." Flare's eyes twinkled a bit. She was n't one for rain, but she loved streams, interested on how they flowed, and how wonderful it felt.

I've never gotten that close to an actual stream, Apolloeye meowed quietly, regretting the words as soon as they had come out of his mouth. He quickly snapped up the rest of the mouse and licking his lips clean. He curled his tail around his crouched form, hoping his fur wasn't to scruffy looking. He didn't really groom his pelt, he didn't care about his appearance...til now. Why do I suddenly care what this she-cat thinks? He thought, confused by the weird feelings he got when he was around her.

Flare raised an eyebrow, but she let it pass. The tom was funny, she had to admit. Flare got up and looked around. With one delicate paw, she pushed the rest of the vole to the side, it looked barely eaten. Sighing, Flare stared outside, the sun was almost up now, it's red rays gracing the sky, making the dew on the gras glimmer iridescently.
"So um, what are you going to do today?" She asked, wondering why it mattered. Then she wodnered why she had asked. Why should she care? She was suppose to be prisoner. Flare yawned, shaking way the thought.

I don't know. I might train Tsukipaw if she's up for the challenge. We haven't trained in a while. She keeps going to FireClan, Apolloeye mewed, his voice sounding first upset, then edged with disgust. He sighed, not sure what to say. He stood and stretched his limbs, wondering why the she-cat had walked away from him. What does a sunrise look like? he blurted, something he had always wanted to know but had been to afraid to ask. His ear twitched, nervous that Flare would call him stupid or something.

Flare glanced at the rising golden orb one last time before turning to Apolloeye. Her eyes gleamed like pink champaigne, the colours reflecting in them. "A sunrise... Well, it's amazing. Reds and yellows, oranges and pinks, they all seemed to swirl in harmony with eachother, it's absoulutly amazing. Are you sure you're permanantly blind? I mean, how can you tell what anything is? Honestly, to you, a cat could look entirely different than what we really are." Flare mumbled.

When I was a kit I could see the sun...then I got whitecough and lost the little sight I had, Apolloeye mewed. What is red, yellow, orange, and pink? He asked, not quite sure what Flare was talking about. He stood up and padded over to stand by Flare, dragging his tail across her spine for no apparent reason.

Flare's back stiffened, but she went ahead and let it slide. It kind of felt nice anway.
"Colours, you no, like the colour blac k which is probably all you see. That's a colour. Or maybe you see white, thats a colour. Do you not dream of colours?" Flare aked, sort of in her own world.

Colors... Apolloeye mewed absent-mindedly. All I see is darkness. I don't remember ever having a dream... He trailed off, letting the end of his sentance fall into nothingness. He looked blankly towards the rising sun, wondering what it looked like.

Flare pursed her lips. "Well, if you know what darkness is, then you must know what light-ness is, right? How can you tell it's dark if you've never seen the light?" Flare tipped her head t one side, pondering. A warm gentle breeze blew through, ruffling her fur, it's scent was sweet and it made her feel like running. Flare longed to leave the den, but she knew someone would throw a hissy fit.
