Shadowpaw felt a bit uneasy going out into, what used to be, enemy territory. Though it felt odd, she still loved the feeling of leaves crunching beneath her paws; the cool breeze blowing through the grass and trees; the sun shining on her fur. Shadowpaw began to wonder how ShadowClan was doing. How her siblings, Skypaw, Riverpaw, and Pinepaw were doing. How her dear mother Willowfur was doing.
What if I have to face them in battle? Shadowpaw wondered. She had never thought of the consequences that would come with changing clans. Shadowpaw pushed the thoughts out of her mind. All she wanted to focus on was the present. Right here, right now.
To lose in her thoughts, Shadowpaw bumped into Coaldust. "Sorry!" she yelped.
Coaldust purred. "It's alright," He turned to Blossomheart. "Where should we go?"
"Let's go to the abandoned twoleg nest," The she-cat replied.
Coaldust nodded. "Let's go." He meowed, bounding off, the rest of the group behind him.
Rubypaw turned her head toward Shadowpaw. "So what was it like being in ShadowClan?" she said, wrinkling her nose a bit.
Coaldust looked over his shoulder at his daughter. "Rubypaw!" he snapped. "I'm sorry Shadowpaw. She likes to ask questions." He turned his head back in front of him.
Shadowpaw shrugged. "It's was alright I guess." She told the apprentice. "I wasn't really in ShadowClan long enough to notice the little things."
"What's Wolfstar like?" Rubypaw asked.
"She's… uh…" Shadowpaw searched for the correct word. As if on cue, Coaldust and Blossomheart came to a stop. Shadowpaw looked up to see the abandoned twoleg nest. "Wow…" She mewed in awe.
Rubypaw bounced up and down. "Can we go inside?" she said excitedly.
The two warriors exchanged glances then nodded. "Alright," it was Blossomheart to reply. "But be careful and see if you can find any catmint for Stonestripe."
"We will," Both the apprentices called, heading into the twoleg nest. The walls were old, cracked and covered with moss, half the roof was gone, and the floor was half grass, half stone.
Rubypaw sniffed the air. "Over there," she said, flicking her tail to one of the corners. Shadowpaw dashed over and saw a small plant with a sweet, mouthwatering, scent. Catmint.
"How did you smell that so quickly?" Shadowpaw asked, carefully grabbing some stems.
"I got into some catmint when I was a kit once," Rubypaw purred. "I also have a pretty good sense of smell." She added boldly. Shadowpaw purred through a mouth full of catmint and the two of them padded back outside of twoleg nest.
Blossomheart smiled. "Great," she purred. "Let's get back. It's getting dark."
Shadowpaw hadn't even noticed it was dusk already. They went on their way back to the camp. When they got there, the moon was beginning to rise and it looked as if half the clan was leaving. Shadowpaw gasped and looked up at the sky to see the full moon. There's a gathering tonight… She thought. Suddenly she felt something touch her flank. She turned to see Blossomheart's tail swishing nervously.
Shadowpaw spat out the catmint and looked back at her mentor. "Are you going?" she asked.
Blossomheart turned to Shadowpaw and opened her mouth to say something but Silvernight spoke first, padding up to them. "Brindlestar wants you to come, Blossomheart" she said, a hint of nervousness in her voice.
Blossomheart looked at the deputy in surprise. "Is he mousebrained?" she scoffed. "Wolfstar will rip him to shreds if she sees 'Roseclaw' was really in ThunderClan, even if there is a truce."
Silvernight shrugged. "His orders," she sighed, padding away.
Blossomheart's fur stood on end. She sighed and turned to Shadowpaw. "I guess he wants me to tell her I'm sorry," she meowed. "Go take the catmint to Stonestripe. I'll be back soon." She then turned tail and left.

Blossomheart's heart was pounding. Wolfstar is probably going to rage war on ThunderClan when she sees me… She thought to herself. She shook her head of the awful possibilities and padded up next to Brindlestar.
"Are you sure about this?" Blossomheart asked the ThunderClan leader.
Brindlestar nodded. "I wish not to keep this a secret."
"And what about Shadowpaw?"
"What about her?"
Blossomheart growled. "If we get attacked, Shadowpaw will b the main target. Wolfstar will think she's a traitor."
Brindlestar stood up strait. "I promise we will keep you and your apprentice safe." He meowed boldly.
Blossomheart purred. "Thank you Brindlestar."
Brindlestar nodded and went to the front of the group. Blossomheart saw Silvernight, Stonestripe, Sparkpaw, Coaldust, Rainpaw, Echopaw and Hailpaw in the group. They all headed out into the forest to the island. Please don't let Wolfstar kill me… Blossomheart preyed to StarClan. But if you can't do that… then please protect Shadowpaw…
