Chapter 2
The wrong direction
Leopardstar pov:
I smirked as I saw the astonished look on Onewhisker's face as I told him where I was going. I took the distraction to quickly slip by the Windclan patrol. Mistyfoot followed me as I ran next to river once again, in search for the lost Skyclan. After a while I got tired so I signaled for Mistyfoot to slow down. It was nearly Dusk so I decided to stop and make a den for the night. Mistyfoot gathered reeds and mud while I sniffed out a dry place to shelter us while we slept. I found a low branch to shelter us from so Mistyfoot could shape the nest. She was busy doing so while I was padding back to the river in search for a fish. I sat on the bank staring at the water; I saw a silver fish slip by so I flashed out a paw to catch it. It flopped on the bank for a bit; I loved watching other animals and clans suffer. I finally killed the fish with a sharp nip on its spine. I carried it over to where Mistyfoot was just finishing up the nest. "All set?" I asked. She nodded while I was placing the fish down. We crouched down to eat. I took a huge mouthful and gulped it down, Mistyfoot did the same. Soon our prey was gone; we curled up in the nest to sleep for the night.
Mistyfoot pov:
I yawned and tried to get in a comfortable position. I could tell that Leopardstar was also having trouble sleeping. I stopped fidgeting and finally fell asleep. The next morning I once again woke up with Leopardstar. But this time she was already up and rapidly eating a small pile of fish. I went to the river and joked; "Hey Leopardstar, did you leave any fish in the river for me?" Leopardstar let out an amused snort. After I had caught myself a trout and ate it quickly we were ready to go. Leopardstar and I raced along the riverside hoping to get to Skyclan soon. I skidded to a halt and sniffed the air. I smelled a nearby she-badger and her cubs nearby! "Leopardstar, I smell badgers nearby. We should go, and fast" I hissed to Leopardstar. She nodded as she crouched down to stalk the other way, back where we came from. I thought we had gotten a safe distance away so I suggested to Leopardstar; "Maybe we could swim across the river and then continue on?" She was in deep thought but when I spoke she was leaping up and yowled; "THAT'S A GREAT IDEA!" I think that Leopardstar yowled too loud because I saw wild movement in the bushes. I glanced in that direction and I saw the she-badger, she roared. It seemed that was all we needed so we leaped for the river and swam across it. Luckily it wasn't far so we quickly got on the other side and sat there, hunched over and panting.
Leopardstar pov:
After we escaped the she-badger I knew that we must travel on to Skyclan. I raced the right direction with Mistyfoot a few tail-lengths behind. It was already sunset by the time we had traveled about a mile. I peered out ahead and saw nothing but a huge green field going on for endless miles. "Uh, Mistyfoot, I am pretty sure that we are going the wrong way"
