Chapter 20

Dovewing looked around to see if any other cat was awake. When she saw that they were all sound asleep, she gingerly stepped between them careful to not step on any ones nose, tail, or ear. Once out of the warrior cat den she padded towards the gorse tunnel. She nodded to Brambleclaw who was on guard duty, and raced out before he could ask her where she was going.

As she raced through the forest excitement tingled her pelt at the thought of meeting Tigerheart again. As she reached the Shadowclan border Dovewing sat down and began to groom herself, she had to look perfect for Tigerheart. "There is no need to do that you are perfect the way you are." Dovewing looked up quickly as she heard the deep voice of Tigerheart. Dovewing jumped up and purred. Tigerheart licked Dovewing's ear and whispered into it kindly. Together they sat side by side talking to each other, not aware of the pair of eyes that was watching them from a distance.

Ivyclaw's POV

Ivyclaw awoke to find her sister sound asleep next to her. Ivyclaw looked at Dovewing and sensed that something had changed. Shaking off Ivyclaw thought nothing of it and went outside for air. The dawn patrol had come and gone, and Ivyclaw had already been on one hunting patrol. Ivyclaw grabbed a mouse from the fresh kill pile and sat down next to Bumblestripe. Bumblestripe nuzzled her affectionately and they sat and ate.

That night Ivyclaw awoke to a rustle in the nest next to her. She pretended to be asleep and as soon as the cat left the den Ivyclaw followed behind. She told Graystripe, the guard that she was going out hunting. He gave her a questioning look, and then let her through. Ivyclaw followed the cat until it stopped in the clearing. Ivyclaw hid in some bushes, but stepped on a twig. The cat whirled around and sniffed the air. Ivyclaw seeing the cat's face for the first time Padded out of the bushes eagerly and mewed "Hi Bumblestripe." The hair on Bumblestripe's back relaxed visibly. Then not knowing Ivyclaw sat down next to Bumblestripe as they talked, not knowing that the same pair of eyes that had been watching her sister the other night was now watching her.

Dovewing

It had been eight moons since Dovewing had begun to meet Tigerheart again. Cherrypaw had been progressing well in training and was soon to be a warrior. Dovewing was still confused at why the Dark Forest hadn't arisen yet, and what were they planning?

Dovewing padded over towards the medicine cat den to see Jayfeather mixing herbs. As she walked in he raised his head and mewed "What do you want Dovewing?" Although Jayfeather was blind he was a great medicine cat, along side Leafpool who had reclaimed her name of medicine cat. "Well I wanted to talk to you about the Dark Forest… I think you should know something…
