After a long day and a lot of stroies Crystalpaw was finally able to curl up in her nest and sleap, but just as she walked in she came nose to nose with Echopaw.

"Oh, Um. Sorry." Echopaw said as she took a few steps back, Crystalpaw said nothing as a large pain filled her stomach again. She took a deep beath before pushing past him and headed streight for her nest, she didnt have time to speak with him nor did she want to. Though deep down something was telling her to turn around and say sorry but being her normal self she pushed the thoughs away and curled up to sleep.

Af the moon light filled the den she couldnt help but stare over at Echopaw's nest, even though he wasnt there and was out on partol she could still imagin him curled up there fast asleep. She loved to watch his flank rise then fall, rise then fall. It calmed her and thats what she hated the most. He was the reason she joined the clan and could be the reason she left.

As she stared she noticed that Wildpaw and Honeypaw had gone too but their mentors were still in camp. Hmmm, where are they? Crystalpaw sighed before standing up and poking her head out of entrence to the den and gazed out at the dark camp, everything was dead. She lifted her head and took in a deep breaht, their scent was strong. she must have just missed them. Mouse-Brains... She groaned before plodding out of the den, she took a deep breath and followed the scent. They were heading out of camp?

Crystalpaw groaned before plodding after them, she knew that if she got caught then she would end up Crow-Food that was sure. She knew that Lightstar would only be able to put up with so much and she was pushing him to the limit, but she couldnt tell him about Echopaw and Crowpaw. She didnt like Echopaw at the moment but she wasnt going to go blabbing to her leader about him, with out him she would be lost in the forest searching for her TwoLegs or worse.

As she followed the scent she noticed that she was heading towards the ThunderClan boarder. What are they doing? Though Crystalpaw did not have time to stop and ask herself anything else, she went from a slow walk to full of bolting across the grassy hill. She had to be quick and quiet, the MoonHigh patrol would be here somewhere and she wasnt in the moon to get moaned at by Lightstar, she had to find Wildpaw and Honeypaw.

As she ran she could feel the cold Leaf-Bare wind blew through her fur causing her to shudder a little, she sighed as she reached the river. The cold water slashing around the small apprentice gulped before throwing herself into the darkness of the water. The water slapped around her as she kicked and clawed at the water, scared but determined she pushed her way through he water. Kicking harder and harder with every thrust of her legs.

She let out a deep groan before lunging out of the river and onto the sandy bank, she shook her fur over and over again before shivering. Her fur prickled as she saw where she was, she was now on the ThunderClan side of the river. Crystalpaw gulped before plodding towards the tree line, her fur prickled and her ears pricked up right following every sound. She took another deep breath and tried to locate Wildpaw and Honeypaw's scent. Even though they had crossed through the river their scent was still there but it was much weaker.
