The pale crescent moon shone like a silvery claw in the night sky as Mistcloud grabbed all five of her kits and padded to the riverside where she met with Nightstream, Feathershade and Feathershade's apprentice Weaselpaw. Glancing down at the river beside them, it seemed to glisten with the stars of Silverpelt. Mistcloud knew that Silverstream was up there, watching over them from her place in StarClan.
"Are you both ready?" asked the black tom with green eyes that seemed to reflect the stars of the night sky. Mistcloud nodded as another cat, a light brown tom with forest green eyes, appeared out of the grass.
"Ready for what?" he growled. Feathershade hissed, standing in front of Mistcloud and the kits. She didn't trust this tom near her sister or the kits, especially considering that he was very possessive of the dusky brown she-cat.
"I don't think that's any of your business," growled Feathershade. Reedfur rolled his eyes, trying to get around Feathershade to get to Mistcloud but the she-cat refused to let him pass. "Stay away, Reedfur."
"You're annoying, I hope you realise that." Reedfur growled before padding away, sending a glare towards Mistcloud.
Feathershade sighed before picking up two kits as Nightstream picked up one kit and Mistcloud picked up the other two kits and they all, including Weaselpaw, crossed over to ThunderClan territory and to the Tallpines where they met Fireheart and Graystripe with Graystripe and Silverstream's male kit. "Where are you guys heading off to?" asked Fireheart as they stood face-to-face.
"We're leaving," mewed Nightstream after placing the kit down by his paws. "No one in RiverClan wants us there so we might as well leave. Would you two like to tag along? You won't be judged with us."
Graystripe and Fireheart shared a glance. "What's your plan?" Graystripe asked after placing the kit, Stormkit, down between his paws.
"It's really Mistcloud's idea," Nightstream started before going on to explain the plan Mistcloud had in mind. The two ThunderClan warriors shared a second glance with each other before nodding and followed the group of nine cats towards Barley's farm.
