Visiting Plunderclan

Thistlefur looked around him, hoping Barkfur would come. He had come up to the Thunderclan boreder and he didn't want the journey to have been for nothing. He couldn't risk calling out though, for fear of being found.

Barkfur, exhausted after her apprentice chores with Fellmoon the other day, decided she would wander again. She travled along the border and stopped dead. It couldn't be....She scented the air to confirm her thoughts. ShadowClan! She breathed in deeper, Thistlefur! She sprinted ahead to see her friend, she found him near the border. "Thistlefur!" she purred, skidded to a stop. "What are you doing here?"

"I wanted to see you. Shadowclan in general is being a pain." Thistlefur meowed, shuffling his paws.

"I understand." Barkfur mewed agreement. "My deputy just punished me for no reason. I had apprentice duties. I thought I left those days behind seasons ago." she growled. "Sorry, how have you been?"

"Meh...Stuck with a bunch of soggy, grumpy Shadowclan warirors. You?" Thistlefur yawned.

"I've been wandering often. I miss going to the Gathering Area. That was so fun." Barkfur admitted, smiling.

"Yeah." Thisltefur looked back. "Did anyone miss you? I forgot to ask. If they found out..." He shuddered.

"No. No one knows, I didn't even tell Mistpaw. The only ones that know are you and me." Barkfur purred. She sat down in the snow, wrapping her thick tail around her paws.

Thistlefur smiled. "Good. nobody realized I was gone but thats cuz I'm always missing." He looked at her streight in the eyes.

Barkfur caught Thistlefur's gaze. "You don't seem very happy there." she mewed, a little worried. "Then again, I'm pretty lonely in ThunderClan. I don't really know anyone."

"I wouldn't leave them though." He meowed, looking away. "They are like my family. I couldn't." Thistlefur thoguht about it. Would he leave? No. Wait yes! He closed his eyes. His brain hurt.

"It's not important. Where do you want to go? We can't stick around here forever, someone will find us." Barkfur briskly meowed, concern pricking at every word.

"Indeed. The gathring place is too far though." Thsitelfur meowed.

"Well, I know of an old badger set not too far from here. They won't catch our scent under the badger's." the brown she-cat stood, waiting for Thistlefur's reply.

"Thats a great idea!" Thistlefur purred.

"Great. Follow me!" Barkfur called, sprinting forward into a bush. She leapt another fox-length and kept running. She found the mouth of the badger set and looked behind her to see if Thistlefur was still there.

Thistlefur girnned. "This is great! Your sure its abandoned thoguh?"

"Positive. Mistpaw and I found it once, it was completely empty. Scent's stale." Barkfur purred with pride as she made herself comfortable in the set.

"Good." Thistlefur grinned again.

"I love this. Hiding from my clanmates, being a rebel. With a good friend too." Barkfur smiled, looking out the entrance. It was snowy and still, as it should be.

Thistlefur closed his eyes and sniffed. There was prey scent. No. This sin';t my territory! I can't hunt here. To his embarassment, his belly gave a loud groaning sound.

Barkfur heard it, smiled and let out a mrrow of laughter. "Hang on." the she-cat leapt out of the set, quickly caught a thin rabbit that appeared to be dying. Dumb luck... she cursed herself as she bounded back in. She laid it at his feet and sat by him. "You have first bite."

"Thankyou, but you caught it, not to mention that this is your territory." Thistlefur meowed, pushing it towards her.

"It's okay, you can have first bite." Barkfur insisted, pushing it back. "You sound like you're starving." she purred.

"No you have it. I insist." Thistlefur pushing it back. "I can wait five more minuites."
