Setting: Near Moonpool
Jayfeather's POV
I whip my head up forcing my paws beneath me. I can hear the scuffling sounds of the other medicine cat's rising. I don't hesitate to wait for them even a moment. I start into a sprint, letting my muscles release my frustration. It only takes a little while to run quite a distance. I slacken my pace; I can tell I've reached the cover of Thunder clan's trees by a dew drop falling from the leaves above onto my tail. The smells and the sounds comfort me, allowing the last bits of frustration ebb and fade away. I enjoy the feeling of the forest, as a walk towards camp.
The dawn sun warms my back as I enter camp. I slink towards my den, barely lifting my feet as I slither like an adder. I'm about halfway there when I hear a voice, "Jayfeather." My ears flatten, everything inside me tells me to bolt forward. "Yes, Lionblaze?" I hiss through gritted teeth.
It had been in the heat of the moment I had let my secret slip. Ever since Lionblaze has been pestering me for the she-cat's name. He used every mind trick and tactic under Silverpelt to get me to spill.
I could feel Lionblaze's breath on my ear. It took every bit of self-control under my grey pelt to not straight out swat my over protective littermate. "I know who she is." He whispers.
His comment catches my off guard. "No you don't!" I whisper-shout, panic seeping into my voice like rain seeping into parched soil. Lionblaze stared at me; this had to be a mind trick. "Who is it then?" I jeer, angry that my brother would stoop to such a level. Lionblaze gave me a cold stare; he knew that I knew this was a mind trick. His tail flicked in annoyance. "Tell me!" he hissed. "What are you a kit?! It's my life not yours! Just because you're my brother doesn't mean you have to know every corner of my life!" I turn away, fury brewing within me. "It does if it puts you in danger! Jayfeather this is dangerous! I don't want you to end up like Leafpool!"
I swing my unsheathed claws at Lionblaze's face. I can tell he dodges because my paw hits nothing but open air. I turn around and race toward my den, every one of the hairs on my pelt on end.
Time: Dawn
Setting: Halfway between RiverClan and Moonpool
Willowshine's POV
I walk beside Mothwing in the grey light of dawn. Mist buffets of the lake creating an eerie illusion. The moister clings to my pelt and flattens it to my fur. Being greenleaf the water is warm, so I don't mind. The slick pebbles along this side of the lake, slide under my paws.
Mothwing begins to trot and I match her pace. It doesn't take long for us to reach our territory, then our camp. I slide into my nest, my paws ache and it feels good to be home.
