Adderfern licked her chest fur to hide her embarrassment. "Sorry." She muttered again. "But why are you at our camp eating our prey?" She snapped glaring at the squirrel he was eating. He flinched.
"He caught that. And he caught me a falcon." Quailfeather gestured toward the half eaten bird.
"I would never eat another cats prey unless they offer it. And I wanted to join your clan. Quailfeather was telling me about how kits run around freely and cats can share tongues without having to watch for Sunclan. Can I speak with your cat in charge? Or your leader, that's what Quailfeather keeps calling it." Sparrow said. He sat down and started washing his back leg.
"Well, Stonestar and the other leaders wouldn't be to happy to have a rogue around." She said shyly.
Gooseclaw and Heathertail padded into the clearing with Falcons and squirrels. They dropped them in a pile and then grabbed a falcon to share. They didn't even notice Sparrow. All the cats are two pieces of prey each and curled up in newly made nests to sleep.

Adderfern stretched and yawned. She looked around and saw Sparrow sitting on a rock in the morning sun. He turned his head to look at her and leapt down. "Morning Sparrow." She grunted. He nodded and bounded off into the woods to hunt. Adderfern turned her head and bent down to groom her pelt.
"I'm going hunting with sparrow. I'll be back later to help clean up and then we can head back to camp." Quailfeather bounded away without a response. Sparrow's head popped out of a bush and he touched noses with the creamy colored shecat. Adderfern watched the two disappear into the bushes.
"Follow them." Gooseclaw meowed from her nest. Adderfern looked over her shoulder and the tabby warrior was glaring at the spot they disappeared. Adderfern stood up and sprinted after the cats silently. She stopped when she saw them in a small clearing. Adderfern's pelt bristled with anger as they twined tails.
"You only met each other yesterday!" She hissed quietly. The two cats must've heard her because they looked in her direction. She quickly climbed up a tree. She looked down and Sparrow was whispering something to Quailfeather. Adderfern leapt down on the side opposite from them and padded out casually. "Hey we need you back at camp were leaving." She meowed. Both cats looked up and jumped to opposite sides. Quail feather padded into the bushes and before Sparrow could follow Adderfern growled a warning and padded after her friend. Sparrow followed a tail length away.
"Hey. We're leaving now." Gooseclaw meowed kicking the last of the bedding into the bushes. She grabbed the freshkill she caught and started padding towards Moonclan territory.

It was nearly sunhigh when the cats reached the jagged peak near camp. The cats sat down to rest. Quailfeather laid down and sparrow was about to lay next to her but Gooseclaw pushed past him and laid next to her growling. He padded to her other side to be pushed away by Heathertail. "Stay away from her." Adderfern growled menacingly. She nipped at his neck making it bleed a bit.
Sparrow leapt back and sat down a few fox lengths from the others.
