Ebonywind strode into her camp. Her Clanmates were all working busily, some hunting, some healing. She padded to Rowanstar's den.

"Well?" Ebonywind demanded.

"What?" he asked, confused.

"Why did you lie to me?" she nearly shouted.

"I don't know what you're talking about," he shook his head.

"You lied about where I came from!"

"I don't know what you mean. We found you on our border with RiverClan and you smelt like ShadowClan. We assumed you were a loner's kit who had mated with a ShadowClan cat." Rowanstar protested.

Ebonywind believed him. Not many cats could lie as skilfully as her.

"Ok." She backed out of the den, frustrated. "So Luckystar didn't tell Rowanstar. Understandable. He doesn't trust easily." she said to herself.

Ebonywind let out a growl of irritation before pacing to her den. She thought about it and for the first time in her life, let her emotions show. Rage was clearly visible on her face and hurt resonated in her chest. Sadness whirled around in her mind while her stomping paws indicated her frustration.

For once, Ebonywind was showing her emotions.
