"Junglestar, good seeing you again." Shadow said glumly as she looked at the leader of her old clan. She knew she could never reconnect with Heatrumble after what she did and she doubt that he would ever want to become friend with her again. The leader looked at her and nodded.
"Good to see you again. Has your leader decided? I'm guessing he has agreed to it since you are here." The dark brown brute of a leader spoke calmly not even going to ask anything about the glum and sadness in her voice. Shadow whisked it away trying to seem happy in front of him.
"Yes, Night has agreed but he is worried for the kits. He has asked if you can send two warriors back with me so we can carry all of them easier. We shall be back within a day or two at the most. I don't think it would take us that long." Shadow spoke taking her authority back that she had learned from all the leaders and Night. She had to be strong if others were going to listen to her.
"Yes, that is possible. I'm going to send an apprentice with you as well." Junglestar said before looking around the camp. "Heatrumble! Flashingnose! Redpaw! Come over here now!" The leader yowled making Shadow put her ears back.
Great, Heatrumble was going to be on the trip with her. That just gave them both more time to tear each other down and take some cheap shots. She grumbled something under her breath as she watched the three come over to her.
"Yes?" Heatrumble asked in a deep voice not even seeming to notice Shadow standing right next to him as he only looked at Junglestar and almost walked straight into her.
"I would like you three to accompany Shadow back to her territory and help their leader, Night, with the carrying of the kits. I trust you three will be able to help them." Junglestar said before dismissing them to go and get ready. Shadow turned to say something to Junglestar but thought it wasn't a good idea.
"Thank you Junglestar for sending these three with me and letting my pack stay in your territory. We will be back soon." She said again before heading toward the group that was already by the entrance.
She pushed herself to the front and headed to the river again. She knew they had to pass BoneClan territory but thought they would all be fine. She kept her head low not even going to bother saying anything to the group. They all stayed behind her letting her lead them through the territory somewhat surprised by how well she knew it and then through BoneClan territory. They fully let her take the lead once they got off of BoneClan territory and to the river.
"If anyone gets hungry, tell me and we might be able to stop and hunt. Otherwise, keep walking and stay quiet." Shadow said glaring back at them all before continuing on her path.
