Nighthunder's claws clicked against the smooth rock, sheathing and unsheathing in his nervousness. His brown eyes turned behind him, to the black she-cat with a white feather-mark on her forehead. "Are you sure he's dead?" he asked hoarsely. "Yes. He's been dead for a long time, Nighthunder. And it's time for you to go back." Featherstar's attempt to smile went in vain. Nighthunder could see, behind her eyes, the pain that rest there. He walked back up the tunnel to her, rubbing his face against hers, purring. "I'll see you again." he promised. "I know." she said sadly. "I'd better leave before a patrol comes. You'll never be able to rejoin you Clan if they find me here with you." But she didn't move. Nighthunder grinned impishly and jogged out of the tunnel on the ShadowClan side. Making his way to the treeline, he looked back once. Featherstar still sat on the other side of the Thunderpath. A monster roared past and he slipped into the trees.
A sudden elation filled Nighthunder as he felt the pine needles beneath his paws. He was back home! He raced through the trees, over the marsh, following paths he had followed ever since he was an apprentice. Back! Suddenly he stopped within sight of camp, riddled with doubt. What if they didn't want him back? Suddenly, a cat came through the entrance, and Nighthunder didn't have time to second-guess himself.
Featherstar watched Nighthunder go with a sigh. She saw him look back, once. A monster threw gravel into her face as it thundered past, and when she looked up again, he was gone. She sighed again, heavier this time, then smiled. He was back where he belonged. That was all that should matter. She stood and turned away. StarClan help him.

A slinking form in the shadows caught the scent of a mouse, rushing forward at it with his jaws open. The large tabby tom felt the rush of blood in his mouth as he killed it, and he set it down, feeling a quick moment of joy at the thought that he would be able to bring it back to his Clan. As a monster passed on the Thunderpath, Stormchaser felt a shiver run down his powerful spine, and for a moment, thought he heard voices speaking. His ears pricked up, and he silently padded towards the tunnel. Stormchaser paused, wondering if he should grab the mouse. His massive shoulders shrugged, and Storm continued on towards the tunnel. He peaked around the corner, but whoever had been there was now gone.
The brown-grey deputy scented the ground carefully, and found the scent of a loner. Growling softly, Stormchaser rose to his full height and slunk off into the shadows, moving at a fair pace. He would serve his Clan well, to prove that he was not going to betray them, not going to leave like he did before.
That was different though. Most cats left...few returned... |

"Stormchaser!" Nighthunder meowed, partly in surprise, but mostly in relief. He had known the warrior before he left, and it would be harder to try and convince a cat he didn't know that he wasn't a threat. "It's good to see you again!"

Shadowstar's eyes opened from his dream and he hurried forth at the sound of Stormchaser and.. Could it be? Nighthunder?! He hurried forward and gaped.
((who is dead?))

"Really?" Nighthunder purred. "That's great! Congratulations!"

"Stormchaser is no longer a warrior! He is my deputy!"

Stormchaser nodded smiling to Nighthunder. "Good to see you back," he growled.

"Congratulations to you, too, Stormchaser." Nighthunder grinned happily. "It's good to be back."

Nighthunder followed Shadowstar, but his answer was hesitant at best. "A... friend helped me hide. She knew a loner with enough room and prey who would be willing to let me stay with him. It was great there, but I couldn't abandon my Clan."

Stormchaser nodded, giving a slight jog to catch up as he stood for a moment, as if he had sensed the prescence of another close to camp. Shrugging, he followed Shadowstar and Nighthunder almost obediently.
