I don't own Warrior Cats, Erin Hunter does! Thanks for reading!

Once they both reached the shore, the kits huddled together, shivering. "W-Where's the camp?" Splashkit asked, his mew turning into a wail.

"M-Maybe a patrol w-will co-come and find us?" Graykit replied. "Surely Miststar has sent out a s-s-s-search party…" Splashkit nodded and shuddered.

After about twenty minutes of waiting by the shore, a patrol appeared, made up of Milky-fur, Cottonfur, and Littletail appeared. "There they are!" Cottonfur exclaimed.

The patrol raced over to them and gasped. "You kits are wet! Have you been swim-ming?" Milkyfur growled.

"Oh, your mother is going to claw your ears off!" Littletail shook her head, disappointed.

"Were so s-sorry!" Graykit cried. The warriors glanced at each other and carried the kits all the way back to camp.

At the camp, Moontail raced to them and started sniffing them and checking for wounds. "I can't believe you left the camp!" she yowled. "You're going to be in so much trouble by Miststar…"

The dark grey leader appeared by her side. He smiled and meowed, "Don't worry, kits. You're not in trouble."

"Huh?" Splashkit and Graykit said in unison.

"What?" Moontail turned and glared daggers at the Mountainclan leader. "B-But… they escaped!"

"We saw a fox!" Graykit burst out. She clamped her jaws shut and hunched her shoulders. "Oops…"

Miststar's eyes widened. "Where? No, never mind," his yellow eyes flashed with panic. "I want a patrol to search for the fox. Lilywhisker, take Pebblefur, Rosewhisker, and Littletail." Lilywhisker gathered the cats and they headed out of camp.

"Now, please, tell me why you left camp?" he asked. "You know you're not allowed to, right?"

"Yes…" Splashkit sighed. "I'm sorry! It's my fault—I'm the one who wanted to leave! I forced Graykit to."

Yeah… She thought. "Will we still be able to be apprentices?" Graykit asked quietly.

Miststar exchanged a glance with Moontail. "I'll talk about it with your mother," he told them. "Meet me in my den, Moontail. You two go to the nursery."

"Yes, Miststar," Graykit and Splashkit sighed, dipping their heads.

They turned and started to trudge back to the nursery. "I wish we never left camp!" Gray-kit muttered.
