The three dark furred rouges had followed the river from BoneClan back to their territory. Brown had taken the lead back from Shadow and let the two love birds talk in the back as he led them back to their camp. Shadow was still nervous that they would come back to a camp of dead bodies and blood but she didn't speed up or slow down. She just pressed herself closer to Mud trying to comfort herself that they weren't all dead.
As they got closer to the camp, she kept sniffed the air to make sure she didn't scent blood in the air. She thankfully didn't and she hoped to keep it that way. She breathed heavily and yawned. She had went to the clans in the middle of the night with barely any sleep and came back the next morning. She deserved a lot of rest after this. She felt her paws aching from walking too much.
"Hey, we are almost there. Don't go to sleep yet. I know you both are tired but just stay awake. I can almost scent everyone." Mud smiled at the dark grey shecat and the dark brown tom of his brother. Shadow looked up at the sky and saw the sun rising. They had been gone for only a day and yet it felt like so much longer.
"I'm not going to sleep until I can fall down in my nest." Shadow joked with another tired yawn as she stumbled and fell against Mud. She was a lot more tired than she wanted to admit but she knew she could make it to the camp. Only a few more paces. Only a few more then she can go to sleep and talk to Night when she woke up.
"You sure about that because I think you are about to fall asleep on me." Mud joked nudging the shecat next to him so she could stand up. Brown looked at the two and rolled his eyes jokingly.
"Are you two ever not going to be all over each other? It's like watching a gecko carry its mate while she sleeps. You two are always touching." He chuckled in a teasing way. Shadow giggled and swiped at his tail blindly almost causing her to fall over.
"And you are grumpy mister grumpy pants. Did you lose a stick up your tail because I think you did." Shadow teased the male back nuzzling her head against Mud just to annoy the other male. Mud chuckled and curled his tail around Shadow to keep her safe.
"Stupid love birds." Brown hissed under his breath and turned away from them both.
"I think he's love sick. Do you think he met someone? Maybe that's why he's acting all mean. What do you think happened to them?" Shadow whispered to Mud confused on why her friend had been turning so mean again recently.
"That day when I met you, I think he kinda started to like Eagle and is now sad she's evil and coming for his family." Mud whispered back to her.
