Without a Trace

Chapter 5

Shadow looks at me and says "We leave in 5 days." I try to object to what he told me, but he left before I could say a word.
I laugh to myself thinking about how a kittypet will stand out in the wild. But, he did have a point. He did save my life. I look in the direction he left, and after a few moments I curled up by the window, and fell asleep.
~~~~~~The next morning~~~~~~
I wake up and I see Shadow looking up at me. He has something in his jaws. I look closer and I see that he had caught a mouse.
"For you. I know that you do not like the pellets that the Twolegs leave for us." he said.
"Um thanks..." I said jumping down and biting into the mouse. I only ate a few bites then pushed the rest to him. "You need to eat some too, those pellets will not give you much energy, you know."
"Yes I know. That is why I caught some prey and made a small pile in the yard. I eat some when Cotton is not looking, but when she is, I eat the pellets. I have never liked them. I always felt like I was supposed to be a Clan cat."
"Oh," I said looking at him. We have grown quite a bit since I first came here. I see him still talking but I am looking out the window at the sky.
"Shadow. We need to leave now."
"Now, why?" he asked surprised.
"I see that we are going to have a full moon tonight." I said looking at him.
"What is so special about a full moon?" Shadow asked me.
"A full moon is when all of the Clans gather together in a truce and a StarClan warrior visited me saying that the Clans have not left the territory yet." I said excited.
"A StarClan warrior? Who was the warrior?" Shadow asked me confused.
"MY MOTHER! She visited me and said that the Clans have not left! They are leaving right after the Gathering tonight!" I said half yelling.
"Shhhhhhhh... My mother does not need to know this!" he said hissing under his breath.
"Oh, sorry." I said leaping off the windowsill and out the door. "Let's go!" I said running out and jumping onto the fence.
"COMING!" Shadow said running after me.
