ON WITH THE CHALLENGE:
Tonight, She thought. I need to remember tonight!
Rainbird padded along the ShadowClan border with the rest of her patrol, Ashwhisker, Daisyfall, Tawnymask, and Silverwing. As they marked the border, Rainbird could've sworn she saw some movement in the trees.
Swish, swish.
There it was again!
Swish, swish, squelch.
Rainbird's heart nearly stopped. She looked around, and saw Lilystream, and a few other ShadowClan cats.
It brought back old memories…
Old memories of traveling to the mountains.
Rainbird shook her head, chiding herself for such old memories. ShadowClan and ThunderClan are at war, I cannot feel a friendship for the enemy.
They finished up the patrol. By the time they came back to camp, it was getting dark and a chilly breeze sent shivers up Rainbird's spine.
She walked to the warrior's den, and laid down in her nest. Ashwhisker had insisted upon moving his nest next to hers. When he did, she just kept on moving her nest until Ashwhisker gave up.
Everyone was asleep; The warriors, apprentices, even the cat guarding the camp. Not sure about that last one, but everyone else is definitely asleep.
She slunk out of the den, silent as silent as a mouse.
She looked at the entrance.
Sunsnow looked pretty tired, but it seemed as though she was trying not to fall asleep on her paws.
Fox-dung! Rainbird thought. She would have to sneak out through the dirt place.
After sneaking out of camp and to the border, Rainbird saw Stormwind sitting, his paws tucked under his tail.
She ran up to him, excitedly.
"Stormwind!" She called out as she ran. He turned around and smiled. He ran to her, and when they were together they play fought. Stormwind tussled and dodged and Rainbird jumped and pawed.
After a long time of play-fighting, they stopped, tired from the game. They laid down next to each other, purring.
"So, anything new happen?" She asked Stormwind.
"Well, Runninggoose is still hopelessly chasing after me, if that counts. Doesn't mean she's having any luck though." He said, looking at Rainbird. "What about you?"
"Same, but with Ashwhisker. He gave up trying to move his nest next to mine, but now he's somehow always on patrol with me, talking to me, giving me prey all the time… It's really annoying." She told him.
Stormwind sighed.
"I guess we have one more problem then, huh?" He said.
"Yep," She said.
They sat in silence together for a long time.
Finally, Rainbird spoke.
"I wish we could stay like this forever… Just us, no Ashwhisker or Runninggoose." She murmured.
"Me too…" Stormwind whispered.
Forever together….
Just us…
