It was just turning sun rise as the two got to the edge of the border. It was strong in the scent of BoneClan and Shadow had told the male with her that they had to wait until the morning patrol came. They were more likely to get hurt if they didn't. Shadow sat down with her tail curled around her paws as she stared off into the forest. Not much longer and she could see if Mud was alive or dead. She yawned and blinked her tired eyes. She had barely gotten any sleep and now she had just walked forever to get to the clans.
"Hey, I scent something. Do you think it can be them? I think it's possible. They are getting closer! What should I do Shadow? I'm not good with these clan cats." Brown said lifting his head up in the air and then starting to act nervous. Shadow giggled and uncurled her tail around her paws and stood up.
"Yes, that would be them. Don't be too nervous and let me do the talking. I've done this before so they might remember me when I was in the clans. Stay close to me and try not to get separated." Shadow said her eyes on the cats as they approached. One of them snarled at her when they got closer.
"Who are you and why are you here?" The leader of the patrol growled at her. She presumed he was the leader at least. He was a big brute with black and brown fur. His eyes were a dark blue and looked twisted. Behind him was a smaller shecat with white fur. She looked just as fierce as the leader. Shadow thought that it was the tom's apprentice.
"My name is Shadow and this is Brown. We came here looking for an old friend that we have lost. We come in peace and do not wish to harm you or your clanmates. May I please see Blossomstar?" The dark grey shecat asked the male with elegance. Brown's eyes widened when she spoke but stayed next to her side ready to defend her as well. The tom growled in response but another tom in the group answered.
"How did you know our leader is Blossomstar? You are two rouges. You would not know the way of the clans." He asked politely making Shadow smile softly. At least they all forgot about her and her family. That was good at the least.
"I used to be of SmallClan. My old leader, Junglestar, accused my parents of treason and murdering the deputy and his mate who was full with kits. My sister and I were banished as well as them. I learned the clans inside and out when I was an apprentice. I used to be called Shadowpaw, sister of Eaglepaw and daughter of Ferretwillow and Ripplespeck." She said softly not wanting to get either of them hurt. She spoke the truth and she saw it in their eyes. They knew what she was talking about.
