Meows of surprise were heard as the patrol came back.

Songpaw saw Blueclaw going into Roaringstars den and guessed he had gone to tell her. Sorrelpaw left to tell the clan. She sensed Forestcloud faulter under so many gazes.

"come on." She murmured. " Its fine."

"Songpaw, show Forestcloud and her kits to the nursery," Cloudshine ordered.

Songpaw dipped her head. "Yes Cloudshine," and "Follow me" to Forestcloud. She led the way to the nursery.

Swiftwing looked up in surprise as they she entered.

"Hi Swiftwing, this is Forestcloud. She's going to be staying for a while," meowed Songpaw hurriedly, before she could say a word.

Swiftwing looked uncertain, but nodded and said

"There's a nest over there that she can use." And motioned with her tail to a spot a little ways away. Songpaw recognized it as her old nest.

"come on kits," Forestcloud meowed, going over to the nest. Soon she and her kits were fast asleep.

Satisfied that she was settled in, Songpaw turned to leave.

"Wait" she heard Swiftwing call softly. Songpaw turned back and padded over.

"What?" she asked. "What in StarClan is a StreamClan cat doing here?" Swiftwing whispered. "

You'll most likely hear soon enough. It's a long story." The queen nodded.

Songpaw turned and left. Her stomach growled, reminding her she had yet to eat and, heading its call, she headed for the freshkill.

Short i know, the next chapter will be longer i promise!
