Chapter 8

New Awakenings

Nightpaw hissed and turned around, expecting to see a WindClan cat. Instead a white tom with grey eyes solemnly stared at her.

"Dusk?!" Nightpaw yowled. "What are you doing here?" Dusk looked down.

"I saw you leave," he sighed. "I couldn't live with myself knowing I'd been hard on you, and I guess I knew you were right all along...but I was too proud to admit it. Sorry." he stared hopefully at Nightpaw.

"Well I am still kinda mad," she started. "But I can forgive you." Dusk's face broke into a grin and he twined his tail around hers. Nightpaw's fur felt hot and she embarrassedly pulled away her tail. Nightpaw shyly looked away.

"I wanted to take you back to your home before I say goodbye," he spoke quickly.

"Let's go then!" Nightpaw chirped. They ran back to the small clearing where Nightpaw and Silver had slept, Nightpaw carrying her catch. Silver was waiting and her blue eyes widened at the sight of Dusk. Nightpaw explained quickly, and she curtly nodded.

"Let's eat before we continue," she suggested. They dug in, Nightpaw sticking close to Dusk. By the time they had finished, Nightpaw was softly purring. Silver stood up first and motioned with her tail to show that they should start walking. As they approached WindClan territory, Nightpaw anxiously was flicking her tail. Dusk noticed and he whispered to Nightpaw.

"We'll be fine. I can smell the border markers, but no cats." Nightpaw looked at the moors. Something just didn't feel quite right. They walked all the way through WindClan territory without a challenge, which Nightpaw found odd. She shook off her suspicions and nearly let out a cry of joy. The ThunderClan territory was just beyond the trees where a forest started.

"Race you!" Nightpaw suddenly yowled, breaking into a run. Dusk laughed, but couldn't catch up to Nightpaw. Silver on the other hand passed the two with ease, her paws flying over the uneven ground. As soon as she reached the trees her friends just trotted up to her, having already lost. Nightpaw gape at her.

"I never knew you were so fast!" she exclaimed. Silver shrugged.

"Family trait," she replied. Nightpaw could wait no longer. She ran into the woods. Everything was the same as it had been when she left. Then she froze. Just in front of her was the thorn tunnel. Silver and Dusk motioned for her to go in, but she shook her head.

"We've come so far," she mewed. "We should finish the journey together."

"Definitely," Dusk agreed. They locked gazes, and unsaid words passed between them. Nightpaw took a deep breath, and headed in.

Daylight lay under the shade of the warrior's den, proud with her accomplishments. That morning, she had pretended to "find" Aster outside the thorn barrier. He had been begging to join the Clan, she claimed when Squirrelstar asked her. Squirrelstar, of course, accepted his request when he told her that he was the most loyal cat in this forest. He was convincing in that way. Now he was selecting prey for her under the watchful eyes of their clanmates. All the she-cats were swooning, and Dayight hissed under her breath. Raincloud was enviously staring at his tail, angry when Daylight had spent most of the day with him. Daylight stood up and walked over to him She took a deep breath.

"I hat you Raincloud," she hissed. He stared up at her in shock. "You make me sick, you smell terrible, and you are too kind." She spat out the last word like it was poison.

"Wha-" he was cut off by her continuing.

"Aster asked me to be his mate, and I accepted. He has willpower and is not afraid to be awful to another cat when they deserve it." Raincloud glared at her.

"You just met him today," he hissed.

"Did I?" she inquired. He stared at her in shock as she padded away. Aster was standing by the Warrior's den.

"Did you do it?" he asked quietly. When she nodded, he continued. "I need to prove I'm loyal, and simultaneously kill Lionblaze."

"I know," Daylight murmured. "You could go hunting with him, then kill him. When you go back to camp, say a rogue came and killed him as you tried to fight it off." Aster chuckled.

"You are as beautiful as you are smart," he breathed.

"Go," Daylight shoved him to Lionblaze. She watched them talk, then leave the camp. he smiled watching the thorn barrier.

My life is perfect, she thought to herself. Then someone entered the camp.

Someone she had hoped to never see for a million years.

DUN DUN DUN! Cliffie yet again! Sorry! He he...

Thanks so much for over fifty reviews! *Does snoopy dog dance* Next chapter can be a ask the characters chapter for celebration. Ask any of the characters questions through PM or reviews, and they will answer it in the next chapter! For example: Lionblaze, did you know that Aster wants to kill you?

"WHAAAAAAAAA?" Lionblaze immediatly reads Day and Night on his FanFic accout, Blazzzzzzzzze. "OHHHHHHHH!" He quickly edits it so Aster is into puppies and rainbows.

"Done!"
