A white and gray tabby she-cat bounded forward under the cover of the starlit night. At last she found what she was looking for. A dusty yellow tom. Her eyes lit with joy when she saw him. He greeted her quietly.
"Leafwillow! At last! I was worried. What took you so long?"
"It was Spottedtail," Leafwillow hissed, her tone becoming angrier at the sound of the name. "She became sucpicous last night when she saw me leave camp last night. I realized she'd spotted me and so I went back in and waited a little bit before going out again, this time without her seeing. The next morning she questioned me about it and I made up and excuse that I was getting up to make dirt. She mostly beleived me but was still sucpicous, and the mouse-brain stayed up all night keeping an eye on me! Or at least she tried to. She fell alseep after a while and I took the chance to escape and got out of there." The DawnClan tom gazed at his DayClan mate.
"Spottedtail will be Spottedtail," he sighed.
"She's always trying to 'protect' me! Just because I'm her sister and I'm smaller, she treats me as though I'm younger than her! She says it's because she's deputy and supposed to look after every cat, but you don't see her acting like that towards any other DayClan warrior! She may be big and deputy and I may be small and a warrior, but we're equals! Oh, Birdwing, it's not fair!" Birdwing listened to his mate's complaints about her sister, who was also deputy of DayClan, Spottedtail, and he felt glad that none of his brother's had higher positions then him or were bigger. He sigh again and began to groom Leafwillow.
"I think there are more important matters to discuss, Leafwillow," Birdwing went on. "Cottonstar knows that some of DayClan's warriors have been hunting in our territory, and it's certian she'll plan an attack in the next few days. We need to figure out what we're going to do."
"Right," mewed Leafwillow. "I say we don't attack eachother in the battle, but he have no choice to attack eachother's Clanmates."
"But Leafwillow," Birdwing protested. "What I hurt your family? I don't want to do that."
"If you do, I'll understand. We have to do what we have to do to keep this a secret."
"O-okay then," Birdwing nodded. "We'll meet a the night after the battle, alright?" Leafwillow flicked he tail in agreement and then she was off, bolting toward's DayClan's camp. Birdwing watched her, and as the first sign of light began to work it's way over the dark horizon, he headed back to DawnClan as well.
