    She shrugs "I don't know, he just told me to do this and I did" she doesn't meet his gaze, not telling him the whole truth

    || Being silent for a while, he turned around and flicked his tail towards the border. "You should go..." he mewed before padding through the undergrowth and back over to where Clearwinter was still waiting. "What was it?" she asked, head tilted. "Nothing..." he grumbled in reply while using his tail to sweep her along with him. ||

    "But I can't" she whispers before heading in a different direction, still in thunderclan territory. She crouches once she smells a mouse then leaps and kills it quickly. She makes sure her scent is everywhere before continuing

    || The rest of the patrol went in silence, even when they met back up with Betrayalfang and Glasspaw. The other two warriors and one apprentice glanced at each other before looking back over at Coldstone who was simply padding on with his head raised, but tail low. Clearwinter blinked a few times, wanting to say something, but the tom simply waved her off. Once reaching camp, Coldstone paused and turned back to his friends and the apprentice. "I'm going to go hunting for a while, you all should go ahead and get something to eat..." he mewed. Betrayalfang was about to comment on how he hadn't eaten either, but no one could really argue with the look he was casting them. They all simply nodded and padded by him into the den. Staring after them for a while, the deputy's son swung around and began bounding through the forest, tail flicking out behind him as he slowed his pace and parted his jaws, quickly pinpointing a squirrel. Turning his head towards the furry creature, he lowered his medium sized cranium and began stalking forward and towards the woodland creature. Pressing his ears to the back of his head, he waited a few moments before shooting forward, arching his back and sinking his claws into the gray squirrel's throat, quickly silencing it. With a satisfied purr, he picked it up by the back of the neck and padded over to another area, digging a fairly small hole and dropping the limp body into it while covering it and padding off just to come back for it later. ||

    Darkwhisper gets closer to the camp, she leaves a rabbit with her scent all over then goes to find more prey. She lifts her head, sniffing for the closest patrol, she flicks her ears catching coldstones scent. Sighing she moves the other way towards a border patrol

    || Arching his back in a stretch, he sank his claws deep into the earth before parting his jaws once more. This time it was a thrush. After a while, with practiced skill, he stalked forward, silently, fluently, and soon revealed the small bird to his blue eyes. With a slight grin, he leaped forward, claws sinking into the bird before it could fly away, while it was flailing around, he felt a talon rake through his fur and along his skin a little ways down from his right eye. With a hiss of annoyance, he felt the thick, hot liquid drip down the side of his face as he stilled the flailing bird by snapping its neck. Setting it by him, he sat down and muttered under his breath as he licked a paw and ran it over the stinging scratch the bird had given him. With a final curse he stood and picked the thrush up carrying it back towards where he had buried the squirrel. Gritting his teeth, he quickly uncovered the woodland creature and picked it up as well. Soon the scent of Darkwhisper wove its way through the scent of fresh prey and into his sensitive senses like what one of his clan-mates' scents would. Hissing and shaking his head, he gripped his catches between his fangs and trudged forward, pushing aside brambles and undergrowth as he padded on. ||

    Soon after following the patrol she hears a shout and next thing she knows she's surrounded. Taking a deep breath she plays it cool and sits, rasping her tongue over her paw "why hello" they all glance each other then one growls "why are you here!?" Shrugging she meows "hunting in my new territory what else?" "This is not your territory now get out!" Darkwhisper narrows her eyes "maybe I don't want to" another one growls "I'm done with this!" And leaps at Darkwhisper. Her eyes widen in surprise but she quickly springs into action and ducks then spins around and rakes her claws down his flank

    || As he padded along, a shout atracked his sensitive hearing. Turning his head in its direction, he dropped the squirrel and thrush, bounding along to its source. Upon entering the clearing he narrowed his eyes, small drops of blood still streaking down his face from the scratch. "What's going on here!?" he hissed, stalking forward and moving his face where it was mere inches from the leader of the patrol's face, his claws unsheathed and pelt fluffed up, not bristling, but fluffed up. Glancing at the warrior and Darkwhisper, he used his tail to signal for him to stop fighting, and once that was done, he turned his attention back on the patrol's leader without even giving a second glance towards Darkwhisper as he waited for a reply, fangs bared, revealing where he had been scratched so it was quite noticeable to the patrol. ||

    Darkwhisper steps back and sits grooming her fur. The leader narrows his eyes "well we found this shadowclan scum hunting in our territory!" Darkwhisper huffs "hey! Watch who your calling a scum!" The cat just ignores her and keeps staring at coldstone

    || Coldstone ||

    || Silence etched over the cats for a while before the deputy's son pulled back. "Go back to camp and tell my father or Dappledstar what happened!" he finally snapped before turning towards Darkwhisper, his expression unreadable. "You should come with me..." he mewed, eyes narrowing and tail sweeping over the ground as he shouldered his way past one of the other warriors, tail tip flicking against their flank as he passed them to stand in front of the ShadowClan warrior. Glancing around at the rest of the patrol once more, he gave a light hiss before looking back at Darkwhisper directly in the eye as he waited for the patrol to leave. ||

    Darkwhisper drops her gaze as coldstone looks at her. She watches the cats leave out of the corner of her eyes. Once they are all gone she murmurs a small "I'm sorry"

    || Coldstone ||
    ----
    || Letting his gaze soften ever so sloghtly, he lowered his head so it was even with her's. He remained silent for a while before speaking, softly, yet somehiw firm. "Why?" And that was it. Finally sitting down, his breathing slowed to its regular rhythm while he waited on her reply, blue eyes holding a somber aura to them. ||

    She looks up "because I have to" she says, a slight tremor to her voice. She looks into his eyes, scared he might ask for more

    || Coldstone ||
    ----
    || He remained silent for a while, letting his gaze rest on her eyes. As he watched the fear, his expression softened completely while he rested his chin ontop of her head, tail curling around his paws. The gesture was a simple, comforting one he used with his friends and family. Ears laying back against his head, a low purr formed in the deep place of his chest. The sound resonated lightly, and his nose twitched. "Listen... I'm sorry for acting so cold earlier... just... after the gathering last night... then when we first met... well... I..." as he trailed off, he moved his head off top of her's and lowered his head, one paw tucked close to his white chest. ||

    Darkwhisper flinches at his touch at first then smiles lightly "don't worry I understand" her ears flick as she then meows "you should probably take me back to my camp to show that you saw me"

    || Coldstone ||
    ----
    || With a faint nod, he smiled. Standing he shook out his silver and white tabby pelt. "Well, we should get going then, shouldn't we?" he asked, head tilted and blue eyes sparkling while they resembled waves off the lake's shore. The white of his muzzle resembled snow slightly as he turned and slowly began to pad towards the ShadowClan border, hesitating a few moments before pushing through the thick undergrowth just to appear on the other side. Once there, he turned his head back and waited on Darkwhisper, back legs stretched out behind him slightly. ||

    Darkwhisper watches him the gets up and follows, looking around. Her dark blue eyes seem to always go back to coldstone though

    || Coldstone ||

    || The ThunderClan warrior twisted around trees and bushes, pushed through undergrowth and brambles, and even jumped a stump or two. Occasioanlly, he would glance back at Darkwhisper, his lithe, yet muscled form moving fluently through his territory. Tail tip flicking, he hesitated as they finally reached the border before he finally placed one paw over the scent marker, followed by another, then another, then another. Once he had padded a few steps into ShadowClan territory, he waited on Darkwhisper to move up beside him before continuing. ||

    Darkwhisper took the lead, easily navigating through her territory. Once they are almost to camp she falls behind and flattens her ears acting like she's in trouble.

    || Coldstone ||
    ----
    || Once near the camp, he changed his expression and raised his head and tail in a dominant manner, while his eyes were stone cold and unreadable. Padding on, his muscles rippled under his pelt. Hesitating a few moments, he padded through the ShadowClan camp entrance, ears swiveling around. Upon entering, several cats began to move around, others taking defensive positions. In reply, he simply shoved his ears forward and kept his head and tail high. ||
