As I was padding off in the direction of the Windclan camp I heard a rustling noise in the heather behind me "Oh, just a rabbit..." I muttered under my breath before continuing on towards my destination. Walking walking walking just a little bit farther... and there I was!
Right outside of the Windclan camp I waited for Nightstorm to join me, there he was a tail length away and then we walked. Away from the lake away from Windclan away from Riverclan towards the unknown hills and valleys beyond the clans, but what if I was wrong?
What if we were not meant to be together? What if he was meant to be a loyal warrior and I was meant to be a loyal medicine cat?
Ah but that is a risk we chose to take almost a moon ago when Nightstorm agreed to accompany me. As we padded through the moonlit hills with the lake shrinking in the distance I wondered if the most plain of things for an average warrior might be my downfall, could love possibly defeat me?
"Hey Nightstorm can we stop over there for the night?" I meowed flicking my tail towards a small outcropping of trees,
"Sure." meowed Nightstorm .
When we reached the trees I had pointed to we both lied down in between two tree roots and drifted off to sleep.
The next morning we got up, hunted and set off into the unknown hills and valleys beyond the warrior code, and indeed the warriors themselves.
"Oh! Nightstorm!" I meowed with my eyes wide in excitement "Look!" I meowed staring pointedly at the huge loosely forested area that I had spotted, "Do you want to stay there?" I meowed "Just for the night... or forever?" he replied, I looked at him and a sort of understanding passed between us he nodded and we set off, towards the sunset, and our new home.
