Ashpaw ducked under the safety of the reeds where the Elder's den is. She came in hoping that she did not disturb Sunspirit. She whispered the elders name in the faint lit den and quickly saw eyes look her way.
"OH hello! Ashpaw welcome! what have you come for? I have already been taken care of today. You came right on time i was just about to take a nice nap!" Sunspirit meowed and her body shifted to the apprentice.
"I-I'm sorry Sunspirit! I didn't mean to disturb you. I just had a question that Shimmerflame said I could ask you about." Ashpaw said not moving a muscle beside's talking.
"Hmm, its no trouble at all, come sit down and I will be happy to answer what you have to ask my dear." Sunspirit purred softly as she twitched her tail for Ashpaw to come and sit with her.
Ashpaw obeyed the Elder and sat down and lifted her paw to lick it really quick. "Ok, thank you for your time. Anyway, Shimmerflame said that ShadowClan was dangerous and untrustworthy, most out of all the clans. I just wanted to know why." She explained and relaxed sliding down to a lay on the cold floor of the reed sheltered den.
"AH! ShadowClan. That there is a fine question. Now, let me remember the details of that night." Sunspirit meowed as she looked up thinking quickly before nodding and moving on. "It was a few suns after the full moon, I was just acquainted an apprentice a half moon before that, and ShadowClan had called a truce with us that full moon meeting. We did not have out guard down, oh no, but we had to many cats out that day." The orangey elder told her story slowly as she thought.
Ashpaw listened to every word, she knew it was going to end with an attack from ShadowClan, betraying their truth, but maybe their was more after that. She blinked and just tilted her head listening close.
"Almost everyone was out training, patrolling, hunting, their was two queens bearing kits, one elder, me my mentor and Songstar in her young days. The rustle of the bushed got me all excited to greet back some of the cats, but that was not the case. I saw so many eyes I had no time to react
