Chapter 19
Nightpaw's eyes blinked open to unfamiliar surroundings. It took her a moment to remember where she was as she scanned the cave surroundings. She saw the stone floors and the small amount of light filtering through the opening. She also felt a pelt brushing hers. Her ear tips turned red as she realized that Duskfall was pressed up against her pelt, snoring softly. She shifted slightly as she tried to stand without waking him, her paws aching from the cold stone. Nightpaw slowly lifted herself out of the cave, shielding her eyes from the bright sunlight with her tail. Silvertail was already outside, her tail curled over her paws as she groomed herself. Her stomach protruded slightly, not visible to those who did not know she was expecting. Silvertail lifted her eyes, suddenly noticing Nightpaw. Her blue orbs sparkled mischievously as she grinned.
"How was your night with Duskfall?" she mrrowed, drawing a paw over her ear. Nightpaw blushed as she remembered Duskfall's pelt against hers.
"I slept well," she mewed, avoiding Silvertail's gaze. Silvertail glanced at her disappointedly.
"We all know," she meowed cryptically. Nightpaw's head snapped up to stare at the pregnant she-cat.
"Know what?" Nightpaw edged around the question.
"You and Duskfall obviously have feelings for each other," she got straight to the point, causing Nightpaw's eyes to widen.
"What do you mean?" She demanded quickly, tail lashing behind her as she assumed a defensive stance.
"You two like each other more than friends would," she simply stated, finishing grooming her silvery pelt. Nightpaw just stammered, unable to confirm or deny her accusation. Maybe, just maybe, the torn she-cat couldn't help thinking.
"She-cat gossip? We don't have time for that!" A voice whined impatiently. Nightpaw looked over to see Raincloud padding out of the tree stump, stretching his legs. Nightpaw began to feel mortified, eyes wide as she looked at Raincloud. Silvertail gave him a small look that had plenty of meaning behind it, a stern expression visible on her face.
"Fine, I'll back off," he muttered, tail twitching frustratedly. "But we need to get moving. WindClan awaits." Nightpaw nodded, and Silvertail sighed guiltily. Raincloud pressed comfortingly against her, glancing nervously at Nightpaw. Nightpaw took deep breaths, calming herself down.
"Having a meeting without me?" Nightpaw turned around to see Duskfall, eyes teasing as he slunk out of the small cave. Nightpaw's ear tips reddened unwillingly as she caught sight of her good friend.
"Just preparing to leave," Silvertail rescued her unresponsive friend easily, avoiding the awkward situation. Duskfall chuckled, padding to Nightpaw's side.
"Time to travel to possible doom, and defy death itself," he dramatically exclaimed, head tilted to the sky. Suddenly he turned to look back at his friends, adding, "again." Everyone purred in amusement except for Raincloud, who just frowned.
"We have no spare time for jokes!" he hissed, beginning to walk out of the makeshift camp with his head looking back. "We have to get going, or Silvertail will give birth in a tree stump!"
"I'm nowhere near-" Silvertail was cut off by her mate grumbling.
"It could happen at any moment!"
Nightpaw stifled a laugh as she seriously nodded, following Raincloud to the forest.
"We do have to go through ThunderClan territory to get to WindClan," she pointed out with a sigh. "We should get moving to avoid the early patrols." Silvertail succumbed, beginning to follow her friend and mate. Duskfall scrambled over to Nightpaw, eyes twinkling with excitement.
"How do you think Onestar will react to our request?" Nightpaw nervously mewed, looking up at Duskfall. Duskfall shrugged.
"You tell me," he responded with a frown. "I have no clue." Nightpaw clawed the ground in annoyance.
Sometimes I just wish that Duskfall was a Clanborn cat, she inwardly meowed.
"What was that?" Duskfall looked down at Nightpaw quickly upon hearing his name. Nightpaw froze, realizing she said it out loud. She barely realized that they were crossing into ThunderClan territory as she replied.
"Um... nothing," she hurriedly covered up for her mistake. Duskfall narrowed his eyes, turning to sternly see Nightpaw's guilty expression.
"You said my name," he warily meowed, ear twitching. Nightpaw's ears flattened and she gritted her teeth.
"I said," she started with a small hiss. "that I wished you were clan born." Duskfall staggered away from Nightpaw in surprise.
"I wish that I'd never disappeared from my clan in the first place. Aster never would've come and we wouldn't be here now! I would have a normal life!" Duskfall backed away from Nightpaw in shock and glared at the ground.
"You wish that you never met us?" he almost yowled. "I gave up my life for you, yet you still don't understand how I feel!" Duskfall stomped away from Nightpaw, joining Silvertail and Raincloud at the head of the patrol. Nightpaw was left in the back, sorting her feelings of guilt and curiosity. Was Silvertail right? Shaking away her mess of a mind, Nightpaw's ears perked up just in time to hear Silvertail.
"WindClan territory. We have arrived."
