Chapter 2

Breezetail frowned. "Are we there yet?"

Stone replied with a big grin on his face. "Watch your step. Stick. Not yet." Breezetail stepped over the small fallen branch, her eyes obscured by Stone's tail. After what seemed like forever, five obstacles later, Stone removed his tail, and Breezetail's breath flew out of her lungs in amazement. It was a large barn, with a small fenced pasture and abandoned stables. The sheer size of it made her quiver with excitement.

She bounded up to the fence, placing her front paws one the lowest of the wooden beams. In the tall grasses in the small pasture, there were two kits tumbling around, their mother perched on the water holder. In the stables, she heard the soft breaths of sleeping cats.

Her eyes scanned the area before settling on the kits again. They were both large for kits, larger than any kits in Thunderclan. The smaller one of the two was pinned by the other, kicking softly as his brother's belly while his brother bit his ear in mock battle fun. Breezetail's mouth pulled up into a small smile.

"This…is Horseplace. Large Twoleg creatures, called Horses, used to graze in these fields, but they traveled with their Twolegs when they left. Let me show you the barn." Stone slipped under the beam and padded toward a dark brown, worn out building, Breezetail at his side. Inside, there were more loners. She recognized the ones from the attack, along with a few others. Her fur rose instantly and she couldn't contain her low growl from rumbling in her chest. The cats turned at the sound, and a few hisses rang out. The brown-and-white tom from earlier snarled. "Thunderclanner!" He unsheathed his claws, and Breezetail did the same, when a grey massed stepped in front of her.

"Bark, stop. She's not going to hurt anybody." He gave Breezetail a soft look. "Right?"

Breezetail stopped mid-snarl and looked at Stone with careful and observant features. Sighing in defeat, she nodded and the glint of her claws disappeared.

"See, Bark? No need for violence."

"What is it doing here?" he spat. The grey tabby she padded next to him, hissing.

Stone flicked his tail. "She chased after me when we tried to take prey, but they were just defending-"

"Oh, gone soft for the pitiful clanner, have we now?" The tabby grinned evilly.

"No, Mist. I-"

"He just asked if I wanted to see the Horseplace." Breezetail replied slowly, her voice wavering slightly.

"Quiet, you! I'll-" Bark roared, when the kits came tumbling in. His face fell, growling softly. "Finish this at a later time. Just keep the forest-freeloader away from the kill." He continued before stalking away, Mist trotting after him.

The kits tumbled into her. One pair of blue eyes glanced up at her, followed by another. Grins broke onto their faces.

"Hi! I'm Night! And my brother-" One squeaked.

"Is Shadow!" The other pair of eyes mewled. Breezetail giggled.

"You're really pretty! I bet-"

"Stone likes you!" Breezetail smiles, glancing over at the grey tom. His amber eyes averted as his goofy, crooked grin flashed across his face. "All right, you two. Go on. Shoo." He nudged them gently toward their mother, and they raced off. Stone chuckled, and then padded out of the barn, beckoning with his tail. Breezetail slowly padded out, the sun-rise ray's pouring onto her fur. "Oh my Starclan. I need to get back."

Stone sighed. "Yeah. I guess you do. Come on then."

They walked back in silence. When they got to the border, Breezetail turned and faced Stone. "Well, thanks for taking me to your home."

"Yeah, no problem. So I guess this is goodbye?"

Breezetail locked her ice-blue eyes into his amber ones. "It doesn't ever have to be goodbye. Look, how about we meet again tomorrow?"

"Re-really? Ah O-Okay. See-see you then!" he stammered.

She nodded. "Till tomorrow." Her white pelt was consumed by the stretching shadows as she raced off into the undergrowth, her thoughts buzzing with excitement about their next meeting.
