The small group of four got to the rouge's camp at moonhigh that night. The other three seemed exhausted as they entered the camp but Shadow was fine. She went to find Night quickly and found the black tom with the kits.
"Night, we are back. I have two warriors and an apprentice with me. They will need some sleep, but then in the morning they will be ready to go. I believe we should leave in the morning and try to catch some stuff on the way. I don't think we should take any of the prey with us." Shadow said to the black tom with a deep sigh.
She wished she could rest more but she would be okay. It would not be long until they were in SmallClan territory and had much more protection. Only one more day and then she would never have to see Heatrumble again and he would never have to see her again. They would never have to hear from each other either. It was the wrong thing to become friends with him again.
"Yes, that is a good idea. Tell the others that and tell them to eat their fill for tonight. We will leave at dawn and I hope to get there before sunhigh." Night said before getting up to get some prey for him and the other two females.
Shadow nodded and headed to find Mud, Brown, and the other warriors she had brought back with her. It wasn't long before she found the warriors and apprentice whispering quietly and the two rouge brothers sharing some prey.
"Night has told me that we leave at dawn. Get plenty of prey and rest before we leave. In the morning we will figure out who is carrying which kits as well." Shadow told them keeping her head high before she grabbed a sparrow and headed over to Mud.
She heard a small growl behind her but ignored it since she knew it was only Heatrumble being jealous. She nestled herself next to the tom and started to eat the sparrow without a word. Neither dark brown tom tried to say anything to her until the dark ginger tom came over to the group.
"Look, I'm sorry for what I said. Can you forgive me Shadow? I hate you being mad at me. It's like I'm broken all over again. It's like that day you were exiled and I had to watch you leave. I was being protective and I didn't want you to leave again." The tom said sincerely but Shadow didn't say anything back to him. She didn't care if he was breaking. He had already broken her.
"Shadow, he's talking to you. It's nice to say something back to him." Mud whispered to her as his tail wrapped around her providing her comfort.
"Like I care. He gets mad at me then comes crawling back. He doesn't realize that when he yells at me, he breaks me as well. He needs to learn that." She huffed before finishing her sparrow.
