Chapter 7
Hunting now is so boring. Azurepaw thought. "So, what does Sunny look like?" Azurepaw asked.
"Uh… Like a cat." Lightpaw meowed.
"What is his pelt color?" Azurepaw asked.
"I don't know." Lightpaw meowed.
This doesn't help us look for Sunny at all. They are related, hasn't Lightpaw seen what he looks like? Azurepaw thought. "We'll talk about this later. Let's just finish hunting." Azurepaw meowed.
"I have a better idea! How about you hunt my share and your share, while I explore some territory to look for Sunny, after all we are supposed to find Sunny." Lightpaw meowed.
"No way! I like adventures! How about you hunt and I look for Sunny, after all I know the territory better then you." Azurepaw meowed.
"Not going to happen! How about we both help each other look for Sunny together?" Lightpaw meowed.
"Hm… That would mean I would have an adventure…" Azurepaw mumbled.
"Do you want to go? We can leave right now?" Lightpaw asked.
"I do want to go, but we should probably wait-
Lightpaw already raced off.
Twilight's being a BIG pain! She doesn't even know where Sunny is! Azurepaw thought. "Wait! We don't even know which way we're going!" Azurepaw yowled.
Azurepaw bolted after Lightpaw.
Lightpaw ran in to the forest. She ducked under trees, climbed logs, avoided water, while running, with Azurepaw following every step. Lightpaw stopped in front of a tall oak tree.
"How… far are you… going to run?" Azurepaw asked out of breath from running.
"You're too weak, toughen up Azurepaw. Well here we are, my new favorite spot. Come on!" Lightpaw meowed.
Lightpaw nudged under the tree's roots.
Why is she going under a tree? Azurepaw thought. Azurepaw followed after Lightpaw.
Three tunnels? Which tunnel do I pick? Azurepaw thought.
"Azurepaw, hurry up! I guess there's no helping it." Lightpaw meowed.
Lightpaw walked towards Azurepaw.
"You'll get lost, here hold on to my tail." Lightpaw meowed. Lightpaw wiggled her tail in front of Azurepaw.
"Fine." Azurepaw sighed. Azurepaw gently bit Lightpaw's tail.
We've been walking for moons. Are we almost there? Oh! I see light! Azurepaw thought.
"Welcome to my new paradise!" Lightpaw meowed.
Azurepaw looked around to see a small pound filled with different kinds of fish, moss on a boulder, two logs, a small fresh kill pile and a cluster of herbs stacked neatly in the wall.
This place seems so familiar to me… Azurepaw thought. "This place is gorgeous!" Azurepaw meowed.
"Azurepaw you seem like a kit." Lightpaw chuckled.
"Oh! Weren't we supposed to look for Sunny? How does this help us?" Azurepaw asked.
"Before, I told Sunny about this place. We used to see meet here every full moon." Lightpaw meowed with a hint of melancholy in her voice.
"Sorry." Azurepaw meowed.
Lightpaw hit Azurepaw's head with one of her front paws. "Saying sorry makes this place seem ugly, besides you didn't know." Lightpaw meowed.
"I guess you are right." Azurepaw meowed.
"Hey, Azurepaw would you rather stay in AuroraClan or explore the world?" Lightpaw meowed.
"Hm… I would explore the world." Azurepaw meowed.
"All right it's settled. We'll leave now." Lightpaw meowed.
"Huh?! Leave now? What do you mean?!" Azurepaw yowled.
"The balance is going to break in about one year, in that year we have to search for both Sunny and Midnight. We have to leave as soon as possible." Lightpaw meowed.
"Why did you join AuroraClan if we have to leave?" Azurepaw asked.
"When or if we find Sunny and Midnight we have to save the forest, which means we have to join a clan to be allowed to enter the forest without getting hurt." Lightpaw meowed.
"True. But how do you know the balance will break in a year?" Azurepaw asked.
"A cat from StarClan told me that the balance will break in one year. Spiritstar will probably tell every cat at the gathering that we went missing, which mean all the cats in a clan will know, because of gossip. Besides, that cat probably has spies in all of the clans, who will or are close to you." Lightpaw meowed.
Peachpaw or anyone in my clan could be a spy?! Azurepaw thought. "You have a good point. I think that… we should leave." Azurepaw meowed.
"Good. After we eat some prey from the fresh kill pile and some traveling herbs we'll leave." Lightpaw meowed.
"Ok. But, what if Sunny or Midnight come to our clan when we're gone?" Azurepaw asked.
"Then pray to StarClan that they'll stay in camp until we get back." Lightpaw snapped.
