Stars Shattered

Chapter 8

PufferPelt gently Kneaded his moss nest to make it soft again. As PufferPelt Walked out, DownPebble walked besides him " Morning PufferPelt! " DownPebble purred. " Good morning DownPebble " PufferPelt nodded his head to her. " Wanna Share a Trout? It's still good from yesterday's sundown hunting patrol " DownPebble smiled, slowing down to keep up with him. " Sure, I'm just going to make sure I'm not on any morning patrols first " PufferPelt said, and trotted over to GrassPelt. " Ah, Just the cat I wanted to see, You, OwlScreech, DownPebble, MossPelt and PebblePaw are all on border patrol to The ShadowClan Border. " GrassPelt purred. " Ah, ok, I'll go tell DownPebble, and we will get the rest of the cats " PufferPelt nodded, and trotted to DownPebble. " Ok, DownPebble, GrassPelt wants me and you on border patrol, as well as OwlScreech, MossPelt, and PebblePaw. " PufferPelt explained. " Fun! More time to hang out " DownPebble purred. " OwlScreech! MossPelt! Morning patrol! Bring PebblePaw! " PufferPelt called, and soon after, the cats arrived. PufferPelt lead the patrol out of camp, walking through the small forest area, gently leaping across stepping stones, and making it to the ShadowClan border. " The scent of ShadowClan is strong, they must of been here recently " MossPelt said, and lead PebblePaw away to go lay down there scent. OwlScreech trotted towards one of the border stumps to lay his scent. DownPebble returned from inspecting the border " All is good, there was a bit on our side, but only a paw or two over, must of been a silly apprentice not smelling the border " DownPebble mewed. " Alright, let's all catch something for the clan as well, never not bad to have enough prey. PufferPelt trotted over to a stump, and listened for a moment " Near the...Birch trees " Earth spoke. PufferPelt nodded, and trotted over, quickly catching a few shrews. " Great Catch PufferPelt! " DownPebble smiled. " Thanks " PufferPelt smiled, chuckling. DownPebble purred, looking down at the Tom. PufferPelt left himself shrink into his fur. " Y-you have lovely eyes, they l-look nice in the sun. " PufferPelt mumbled,  he felt his fur turn hot. " Aw..Thank you " DownPebble smiled. " Ok you two break it up! " OwlScreech hissed, pulling PufferPelt away. " Stay away from my sister you hear? " OwlScreech hissed quietly to PufferPelt. PufferPelt nodded, and stood up slowly. " O-ok guys, let's get back to camp! " PufferPelt mumbled, and walked back, the cats followed in toe. They followed the bath they took, leaping on stepping stones, and walking through the small forest, and arrived back at camp. PufferPelt stopped when he reached camp, and sighed. OwlScreech stared at him as he walked by. DownPebble purred, and rubbed against him, trotting to the prey pile. " If I don't die from the Dark forest...it's going to be OwlScreech who kills me "
