    Blackkit gazed, horrified, upon the she-cat. He noticed the blood dripping from her ears yet part of him wished to feel the warm blood.
    'Why?' He thought.


    Shadowshine was oblivious to the fact his son was still behind him, instead he was far too busy fussing over Nymph. He licked her ears tenderly, his nose slightly covered in her crimson blood.
    "Nymph, what did you do?" He asked, his voice worried. "Please don't go," He whimpered. "Please stay with me."
    An idea then occured to him, he wasn't sure how the beautiful she-cat would think of it.
    "We can leave RiverClan. You, me, and Blackkit and can a life a-new somewhere else."

    Nymphs eyes widened, she didn't know what to say, Ripping them away from their home, this kit, who hates me, getting dragged along with us, what if I go on another rampage?! The smell of liliacs wafted around her nose and the voices died away, she froze when she heard the last voice she'd ever heard of Pente before she saw him dead in her nest Be careful Nym, I love you.. the wind slowly died away and she looked into Shadow Swipes eyes, still lost for words.


    "I'll stay with you as long as the sun sets and wind blows" She murmurs slowly, snow stopping falling for a long beautiful moment "I will go anywhere with you, if your son wants it too"

    Blackkit looked away from his father, who now looked upon him, before he merely nodded his head. He had remembered what the she-cat had said and knew he couldn't be selfish just because he didn't want to share his father.
    'If you love something, you let it go...'
    On that thought he nodded his head before he even gave a verbal reply.
    "If it's what you want," He replied before he padded to the entrance of the nursery.


    Shadowshine turned his attention upon Nymph once more, a gentle smile on his lips.
    "Its up to you, Nymph." The tom spoke softly. "Shall we start somewhere a-new, or do you wish to join RiverClan?"
    He knew it would be a big decision for both, however he was happy to leave Clan life behind and he knew Blackkit would adjust over time.

    Nymph paused for a long moment, gazing after Black Kit


    "I could never be a clan cat without my back claws and my voices" She paused "I would just pull this clan down, I have many beautiful places to show you," She murmured, eyes filling with memories, "But before we leave here, I want to say one thing" She paused, her blue eyes dancing, her nose touched Shadow Shines.


    "I love you"

    Despite how much Shadowshine had offered and was happy enough to leave RiverClan, it was still a shock nonetheless to realise he would be leaving Clan life behind.
    'This is everything I have known, my birthplace but I'm not losing anything. My parents are dead, so is my brother, and my sister left to begin a life in ShadowClan.' The tom stifled a sigh before he nuzzled Nymph. 'But this will be worth it in the end.'
    And as the tom waited for Nymph to speak, his eyes glued upon her's, he was wondering whether she'd ask for him to kill her again.
    'I could never do that.'
    But she said something that he'd never imagined, a lump caught in his throat which he swallowed hard.
    "You... You love me?" He asked, a slight stutter in his voice. "I... I love you too."
    A smile grew upon his lips before he buried his face within her soft and gentle fur.
    "We will leave whenever you're ready."

    "We don't have to leave if you don't want" Nymph murmurs affectionately "If you want to stay, I'll stay too, I'm jsut saying I'll probably drag down you clan" She lets out a slight embarassed giggle, flexing her front claws, gazing into his eyes carefully, her creepy blue ones dancing

    Shadowshine thought for a moment, debating whether to agree to go or not. For a moment he was silent, deep in thought, and while he pondered and waited he continued to look into the she-cat's eyes.
    'Is she my mate now?' He wondered, a smile growing on his lips at the idea.
    "If you feel you can live within a Clan, to learn to fight, hunt and protect them, and if you're happy to stay, we can." He began. "But if you like the idea of our freedom, to wander wherever we please and only have to fight and feed ourselves, then we can do that."
    Even Shadowshine was beginning to convince himself that leaving was a nice idea, the thought of freedom and endless possibilities appealed to the tom. However he wished for the she-cat to decide, after all he believed she deserved that much.

    Nymph pauses for along moment, wind gusting through her fur, then sha asks a rather odd question,


    "Have you ever felt freedom?" She murmurs slowly, eyes pulling away from his to look down in the ice where she begins to draw beautiful things with her claws, dancing grasses and mountains and wolfs eyes at night "I will stay here if you want, I can fight, and I've hunted my whole life, although not very well, I'll never get to see all those amazing sights though, will I? I want the decicion to be up to you, I already told you I'll follow you and your son wherever you wish, Shadow Shine, please, you decide, please"

    No, I haven't." Shadowshine admitted, he then began to wonder what the wonders were like.
    'I know Blackkit would love to see mountains,' He pondered. 'I could also train him through his apprentice stage and allow him to choose his warrior name.'
    With that decision, he nodded his head and smiled.
    "We will leave at first light." Shadowshine replied.

    Nymph purred with joy and leapt on him, licking his face "I'm going to show you everywhere, you can meet all my friends, I'll show the citys, and the parks, the beautiful lights that come on at night, the glass walls everything, the mountain hills of liliac, I can take you to the deserts of foxes of sands and ice or to the wolves, freedom!" She yowls, leaping into the air and turning around beatifully, she lands on all fours, head high, grinning "Oh sorry," She giggles loudly "Got alittle exicted there"

    The wind was knocked right out of Shadowshine, his head connected with the hard ground but he didn't appear fazed. He chuckled beneath the licks and affection of Nymph, he listened to her words before he tried to shove her off of him.
    "I'm looking forward to it!" He beamed. "It will be nice to see the wonders of the world."
    He looked towards the nursery before turning his attention upon Nymph once again.
    "I'll get some supplies for our journey, I won't tell Blackkit until the morning though." He spoke. "You get some rest, I don't know where we'll be going but I'll trust you every pawstep of the way."

    Shadowshine snuck into the medicine den and grabbed a few travelling herbs, he quickly grab a few winks of sleep before the first light rose upon the horizon.

    As soon as the sun rose, Shadowshine was up and out of his nest. He gave it once last glance before he padded over to where Nymph had slept the night before, he placed three travelling herbs in front of her.
    "I'll get you some fresh kill before we head off."
    The tom darted off to the fresh kill pile and plucked a plump rabbit from the pile, mainly for them to share. He dropped it, with a thud, in front of the she-cat before he settled himself down in front of it.

    She sniffed at it carefully before taking a big bit and purring, licking her lips, blue eyes shining with a restless night. "I'll leave whenever you and Black Kit are ready, we should probably let him sleep a little longer" She murmurs slowly, looking at the reed nersury

    Shadowshine plucked a little of the hair off of the body, he then continued to bite a few chunks. He merely nodded his head in response before turning his attention upon the nursery, swallowing his mouthful before replying.
    "I'll need to make sure he has had a bite to eat before we head," He added. "Where do you plan on taking us, how far will it be?"

    "I have a special route a follow from year to year" She purrs "I have friends everywhere so no worrys, it won't be far, I'm thinking the city first, its amazing" She pauses, pondering something with her big blue eyes "It really is a mirical I stumbled across you"

    Shadowshine practically headbutted the she-cat, his head connecting with her shoulder in an affectionate manner.
    "I can't wait, I truly can't." Shadowshine purred, an excited smile growing on his lips. "I'll get Blackkit up and ready, I know he'll take a while to feed and get the herbs down him."
    Shadowshine began to pad away, however he quickly turned and purred softly into the she-cat's ear.
    "I'm so grateful for meeting you, I love you Nymph." Before he swiftly headed into the nursery.
    "Blackkit, it's time to go,"


    The black kit wriggled and squirmed, his eyes abruptly opening and blinking back the sun.
    "It's too early!" He complained, however Shadowshine was quick to pick him up by the scruff and drop him down by the fresh kill pile.
    Relunctantly, Blackkit picked a small vole from the pile and began to eat slowly.

    Nymph watched the two slowly, heart sinking, Your really going to drag these two along on your crazy adventures, what if that kit got hurt, Quiet Lark, Rapid, Coal Eyes, Apricotside, would they except I have them? Of course they would, but, the kit..I don't know if I could bare to drag him away from his home unless he wanted it Her blue eyes didn't change with her thoughts, remained that horrid cold hard gaze as she watched them, licking her lips from the rabbit They'll love it here, don't worry, you'll take them everywhere, they'll be happy, unless they miss their home, would they be able to come back if they hated my life? Of course they would be able to come home She purred, reasurring herself they'd be ok and rose to stand tall in the shadows, smiling, black and white whiskers twitching with anticipation to show them her world
