Thorntail padded out of the RiverClan camp, heading for the river. He snuck quietly past the guard, Hawkfeather, and leapt over the stream surrounding the camp. Scenting the air, he smelled what he was looking for. Whisperbreeze. The beautiful WindClan she-cat was waiting for his at the water's edge with her tail wrapped neatly around her paws. He ran to her, nuzzling her with his muzzle. She licked his shoulder and he looked into her sparkling green eyes.
"I missed you," Thorntail mewed softly, breathing in her scent.
"I missed you too," Whisperbreeze murmured, pressing into his fur with her nose. They sat next to each other for who knows how long, fast asleep.
They didn't notice a whole RiverClan patrol approaching, waiting to ambush the WindClan intruder and the RiverClan traitor.
Whisperbreeze opened her eyes, leaning against Thorntail. Thorntail also woke up, and scenting the oncoming patrol not five fox-lengths away, wrapped his tail protectively around Whisperbreeze.
The RiverClan patrol, composed of Graystar, Hawkfeather, who had spotted Thorntail sneaking out of the camp, Yewberry, and Shallowstream, yowled and leaped at the pair. Graystar padded up to Thorntail.
"You have betrayed your Clan, and this she-cat has also betrayed her Clan. I'm sure WindClan will be just as disgusted with her as RiverClan is with you." He addressed Thorntail. Thorntail hissed, laying his ears flat against his head.
"Hawkfeather, Yewberry, take this WindClan warrior back to her camp, and be sure to explain to her leader just what she has been doing." Graystar ordered. He looked at Thorntail, who was crouched low, expecting his leader to attack him.
"Oh, don't give me that," Graystar reprimanded his former apprentice. "You know I taught you everything you know, so don't try using any sneaky moves on me." Graystar beckoned with his tail and lead Thorntail and Shallowstream back to their camp.
Not knowing what was in store for him, Thorntail followed.
