Of forest and Sea

Accused without evidence

A/N: Heyo!(Okay, that was too eager)
This chapter's going to have a little bit more language than the last, but it shouldn't be too bad.

Pelco's POV

"Me?", Oaktail asked in dismay.

"Oaktail was with us the whole, it couldn't be him", I reasoned.
"Besides", I said, leaning into him," I'm sure he wouldn't do that."

"But, then, who else could it be?", Dameselfly demaned.

Who else could it be?

"What did he look like?", I asked.

"He was the same shade of green as Oaktail, maybe a little bit darker, now that I think about it, and he was tall. I wish I coud have seen more."

Windhaven pulled me aside.

"I need to talk to you."

She brought me inside the sleeping cave, and closed the door.

"I wasn't going to tell anyone about this, but,after seeing how you treated Dameselfly, I decided I had to tell you if you're going to solve this whole mystery", she informed me.

"The night I went missing, I heard some strang noises coming from behind a wall. I followed them to find out what was causing them when I came face to face with a hooded figure.
I couldn't see his face, but, I could tell it was a leafwing from his tail and talons, which I remember were dark green.
The Leafwing put a knif under my neck.
'Not a word', he ordered in a disguised vioce.
He tried to disapper into the shadows again, but, I attcked him, almost pining him down, but, he retaliated.
Then, I blcked out.
I think he may have used some kind of drug on me, because I estamate I was out for at least three or four hours."

"Did, you ever wake up and see who your kiddnaper was?", I asked.

"Well, I kind of remember waking up and seeing a Hivewing holding something near my face, but, I'm not sure it was a real memory", Windhaven answered after a moument.

A Hivwing and a Leafwing working together?

Why?

Are they enamies or accomplices?

Could they have deliberatly framing Oaktail?

If Seasnake is mixed up in this, how does she fit in?

Too many questions and too few answers.

"Do you think Oaktail is involved?", I asked.

"I don't know, but", she said, her eyes narowing,"it's very suspicious that he snuck outside the sleeping caves right about the time I was captured."

"But, why would he do that?", I asked.
"How could he be responsible?"

"I don't know, but, I think you're getting to attached to that Leafwing."

I blushed.
Thankfully, Windhaven left before she noticed.

SMALL TIME-SKIP BROUGHT TO YOU by Dusky, our sweet shy-boy.

"How could it have been me?", Oaktail asked under his breath.

"Come on, Oaktail. Let's go flying together, just you and me", I invited, brushing his wing with mine.

What has happened to me?

My sister had often teased me for never having a boyfriend or even a crush; that was why she was so popular at the palace.
It was no more than a week ago we'd had a conversation about this.
