A shadow emerged from the trees, sliding silently over the overgrowth. Another, a cat lies in wait.

"Are you coming Redfeather?" a black Tom with ice blue eyes murmurs.

Suddenly the cat from the shadows jumps out, landing squarely on the black cats back, pinning him down. "Hah! Gotcha!" a pretty red dappled cat with deep green eyes purrs in delight.

The black cat lets out a meow of laughter. "Well you are the best hunter in Thunderclan!"

Redfeather purrs and climbs off the black cat. "Which is why, I was just appointed deputy. And I just got my fourth apprentice! After nearly dyeing at the cost of a kit, after a flood! I am the best warrior there will ever be! And don't you forget it Nightshadow!" she yowled enthusiastically.

Nightshadow purred softly and pressed his nose to her flank, "How could I forget my mate?" after a moment he murmured, "You know... We could do it... We could run away, leave our clans behind, have a family, with your hunting skills and my fighting skills, we could survive."

"Oh, Nightshadow, I can't just leave my mother... After father died she would be devastated if I just-"

"Then tell her! Then come with me! Past the borders! Farther than the stars them selves! Think of our kits, think of us."

Redfeather pondered this for a moment be for replying,"Yes, I will." Curling up together they sat watching the sun rise over there clans.

"Alright, you tell your mother, and I'll tell mine. Meet me at High Willow, at sunhigh, make sure your not followed."

"Nightshadow, I'm the best stalker in Thunderclan, I think I can manage." she purred rolling her eyes.

Nightshadow pressed his tail into her flank, "Be save," he murmured.

 "And to you to." she muttered back.
