"What's wrong?!" Crowfeather demanded. Leafpool pointed her nose to the badger. At first, Crowfeather's muscles tensed, but then as the badged got closer, his shoulders relaxed. Leafpool did not know why Crowfeather could seem so relaxed when one of the cats' worst enemies were approaching them.
"Greetings, Midnight." Crowfeather dipped his head. "Crowpaw, it is good to see you too." Midnight said. "Errr, this is Leafpool." he pointed his ears to Leafpool.
Midnight seemed amused. "So this is Squirrelpaw's sister? Right?" asked Midnight. Leafpool dipped her head in respect. "Crowpaw, my kin are mad. They want revenge. Cats drive them out of their territory, so they take back what was theirs." Crowfeather bristled.
Midnight turned her head to Leafpool, then to Crowfeather. "I see you flee, correct?" "I scent no other cats here." Leafpool flinched. "If you want to be alone, Midnight will keep secret." said Midnight. "Thank you, Midnight." he mewed.
"I must go. My kin will arrive soon. I must warn cats." Midnight bowed her head to the two cats, then headed towards the Lake.
It was Twilight. Leafpool couldn't help thinking about her Clan.
"Crowfeather." she breathed. Crowfeather blinked one eye open. "If you are going to tell me we must help our Clans, I'm not going." "No, it's not that… " her voice trailed off. "I'm expecting your kits!" she finally blurted.
