(Yes, this post is named after the song by Three Days Grace, and what DappledPaw is singing is this song, just not as low as Adam Gontier sings it lol)
Night crept over the forest as DappledPaw sat in her, what she called and all the others called, prison. She was a granddaughter of VampireBat, and captured by the Shadowed Doom to be here and inpower them. Just that day she had helped in a fight at Gypsy territory, where her sister Dawn and Blaze had seen her. She didn't regret running back here without speaking to them. Her own sister had left her here, leaving herself. Why should she ever forgive her. Closing her eyes, she let her emotions out.
Opening her mouth, her voice came out in a beautiful soprano, like an expert would sing it. It was unspeakably beautiful.
"I walk alone
Think of home
Memories of long ago
No one knows I lost my soul long ago
Standing on my own
Remembering the one I left at home
Forget about the life I used to know
Forget about the one I left at home
I need to run far away
Can't go back to that place
Lied too much
I think that I've had enough
Am I too much
I'm standing on my own
Remembering the one I left at home
Forget about the life I used to know
Forget about the one I left at home
So now I'm standing here alone
I'm learning how to live life on my own
Forget about the past I'll never know
Forget about the one I left at home"

Scorch walked up and sat beside her. They were both prisoners here along with several other cats. His white pelt was slightly tinted it seemed and he had many scars from training and then when he had defied VampireBat on several occasions... He smiled at her in a friendly way, after all they were both here against their will. "Tough day?" He guessed as much as asked his chocolate brown eyes studying her expression... It pretty much told him everything. Well, not details obviously but yeah.

"Very." DappledPaw sighed, looking at her prison mate. She didn't feel so alone, but it was replaced by a new feeling; something close to remorse or despair. Or a mix of both. She sighed, missing what her left had once been.

Scorch blinked a couple of times "I thought you would have had a better day since you were gone for a few hours... It's lucky that you have connections inside so at least you get ot leave sometimes" He remarked looking somewhat bitter. He hadn't been outside the 'prison' in perhaps weeks and even when he was he was being beaten up in training... much better. Scorch shrugged the thoughts away and turned back to DappledPaw "Did you see something that bothered you or something?" He asked

"Something like that." DappledPaw looked away quickly. "I can maybe sneak you out sometime. Wouldn't be too hard." She wasn't very strong, but she was strong witted and sneaky, with many connections.

Scorch shrugged and then shook his head. "Oh they'd notice if I was gone, I'm their favorite scratching post" He replied it was sort of joking but relatively true. He definetely got beat up a lot... Well, he had become quite a good fighter but that just meant they brought in more cats to attack so they had an unfair advantage. Speaking of fighting he was slightly sore still from the last 'training' session, so he moved a bit stiffly. "Do you want to talk about it or shall we change the subject?" He asked curiously... Scorch wasn't good with these kinds of emotional conversations.

DappledPaw shrugged. "Whichever. I don't mind keeping stuff to myself." Either she was unaware that she seemed to be hinting she wanted to talk about it, or she was really hinting. But she was unaware.

Scorch thought a moment obviously wondering if he was supposed to push for more info. or just drop it, but after not being able to think of something to start another conversation on he just decided to continue with this one. "Alrighty then, I'm nosy, why don't you spill" He suggested lightly, jokingly. He always had that weird optomistic air about him... almost nothing could be taken seriously.... though his spirit had no doubt been dampened a good bit by this imprisonment.

DappledPaw looked at him then at the ground below the rock she was sitting on. "You remember my sister, DawnPaw. The she cat who left me here to escape with her own life." Bitterness entered her voice at the last sentence.

Scorch thought a moment... He'd only been a small kit at that time while they had been mid-age apprentices... Hard to realize that now as Scorch was slightly bigger. "Uhhh... the calico-like she-cat with rainbowy eyes?" He asked only vaguely remembering that far back.... Scorch could hardly remember anything before that night... He knew he was from NatureClan and he had a family there, but that was about it.... He didn't remember names or pictures, just that htey were there.

"Yep. I couldn't believe she'd ever leave me behind." DappledPaw actually fought tears, swallowing the lump in her throat. "Ran into her while at the Gypsies..."

"Oh, bummer. She left you eh? What a cruel world wouldn't you say?" Scorch replied having no memory of it really so he was just going along with what she ewas saying not at all noticing that he was probably making it worse. "Well, when we get out I guess you can beat her up!" He suggested, perhaps that would make DappledPaw more..... happy maybe, more to look forward to... Yeah, Scorch had been listening to those rogues to much it seemed.

DappledPaw rolled her eyes, sending a glare at him. "No." She rejected easily. "I guess to her it's every cat to themselves, but me first." She lashed her tail.

"Oh" Scorch replied shrugging. "So what'd she do at the gypsies that ticked you off so much?" He asked tilting his head to the side slightly. He pawed at the ground a bit in boredom while Dappled was silent for a moment.

"She was just there... fighting beside some other Gypsies and didn't even care it was me. Pretended she didn't know me. It just...." DappledPaw clenched her jaw, trying to hold down her rage.
