Description "Nightmask." 
The taller, bulkier tom bore down on Nightmask; his dark blue eyes flashing in the low-light. Adderstrike had spoken his name politely, as a greeting, but knowing well of Adderstrike's opinion of him, he couldn't help but hear it in a condescending manner. 
"Adderstrike..." Nightmask replied back, his voice wavering a bit. He hated to admit it, but he was fearful of Adderstrike. He knew what he was capable of and how he felt towards warriors "like him". Nightmask wasn't one of the most influential figures in the clan and he certainly wasn't the strongest. He knew his "weak, gentle heart" always came back to bite him. Most of the time he tried to ignore this, feeling that being decent was better than being tough, but cats like Adderstrike always made this difficult. 
When he realized Adderstrike hadn't moved out of the way and only continued to stare at him with his icy, silent eyes, Nightmask's blood ran cold. Did he want something? Was he going to call him out about something he did? Nightmask gulped - ...Oh God, did he find out--
But Adderstrike merely grunted and broke the tense stare down, moving past Nightmask and making the bushes rustle as his wide frame brushed the leaves. Nightmask let out a breath and continued on his way, shivering and feeling shame prickle at his pelt.   


More on Mapleflame's dad and the character i drew here: 

i dunno if you guys are enjoying the scenes or not; i've had these ideas floating around for a while and they're only just starting to manifest into pictures, so that's why a lot of them are being made now. lemme know your opinions? and if you'd like to see more? (and of which characters maybe? whose stories?) ; O ;;

do not use, redistribute, repost my art without my permission thanks

Hi there! I'm really glad you're enjoying the art and the story! (It doesn't have a name yet, though I have a couple in mind!)

and of course you can! i'm really excited to hear what you have in mind :3c

Ahhh, thank so much you for replying, it means a lot. Sorry that this might be longish and if someone has already thought of it

I didn't think of this until I stumbled upon the 8 OC facts you did for Adderstrike and Nightmask, and started wondering if the unnamed she-cat that eventually starts coming with Nightmask on his walks might be Mallowfur. Even though this might be a stretch, please hear me out; judging by Adderstrike and Mallowfur's very different personalities, statuses and Adderstrike's blatant misogyny and violent outlook, I wouldn't think that their relationship is a happy one at all. And while I don't want to have to pull out the domestic abuse card... it's kinda easy to imagine it going there. So, through circumstances that I'm too uncreative to think up, poor unhappy Mallowfur starts talking to nice, much more gentle Nightmask and they start walking together, getting closer etc, etc. Now, because Adderstrike and Nightmask already have some beef and tension between them, this just adds to Nightmask's list of secrets and reasons to fear and hate the other tom, since I don't really think Adderstrike would be the type to forgive a cheating mate and their paramour in any non-explosive way. This plays out for all its tragic, soap-operaness (considering that you only wrote that Nightmask was distracted by this female "for a while..."/perhaps leading to Mallowfur's sad "please don't leave me" scene which we know isn't with Adderstike) and ends however it ends. 

...how do you think of all this?

Guess now all I can do is sit back and wait for more story, hope my theory doesn't get /too/ destroyed.
