....This is horrible. :/
Enjoy! ^^ In my NORMAL books, a slave doesn't just "run away" from her masters and tell them so. O.o; But AT LEAST he is planning to capture her. Capturing is good. :D
Had enough
"I've had enough!" the slave cried, running away from her master. "I want to go home! I don't want to stay here! I'm bound by StarClan, not you!"
Her old master watched her go, monstrous cunning in his eyes.
"Go, then, my slave," he said quietly. "But I'll be back! I'll capture you again, and it won't be pretty!"

Leopardpaw was always wondering where her friend, Stripepaw, was.
"Oh, Stripepaw," she whispered every night. "I wish you could be back here!" And then she fell asleep. Her dreams were dominated with images of she and Stripepaw romping together in the fields, having fun the whole time.

The former slave dashed through the forest.
There's not a moment to lose, she thought desperately. He could be after me already!
She knew that she could reach the Clans from here…. she had to keep traveling, no rest stops…. what if he caught up to her and bound her while she was sleeping? She would be stuck, yet again.

Leopardpaw was hunting at the edge of the territory one cool, crisp morning in leaf-bare. All of a sudden, that familiar scent came back to her.
She sniffed, not quite placing it. And then, she knew….
Stripepaw! Leopardpaw thought joyfully. You're back!
She bounded over to the edge of the territory and peered into the deep, dark forest. And then…. she saw a striped pelt dashing toward her through the darkness!
"Stripepaw!" she called happily.
"Leopardpaw!" the shape called, eagerly.
They dashed towards each other and nuzzled each other.
"What happened to you?!" Leopardpaw exclaimed. "I've missed you so much!"
"I used to be a slave—" Stripepaw began.
"What?! That's terrible!" Leopardpaw gasped.
"But I had enough, so I came home," Stripepaw purred.
Stripepaw had had enough, Leopardpaw knew. So she came home.
