***Hunting***[anyone can hunt yay!!]

A glossy, black cat padded to the the top of a large hill. The cat's silhouette was black against the full moon. She opened her ice blue eyes, which surveyed the trees below her. Her gaze could surely penetrate anything it is set upon, it almost makes you tremble with fear. But, at the same time, it can also lead you to a calm, serene path, helping you work out your problems. She runs down the slope, hoping to catch any signs of prey. As the she-cat runs, it is silent, and the wind whips through her fur. It separates every single hair and soon she looks like a fluffball. Making an abrupt stop, this beautiful she-cat known as Twilightstar, scents the cool air for signs of prey. The grass below her is covered in dew, which bothered her, Twilightstar hates to get wet. She smells a vole, and glances around. Spotting it, Twilightstar creeps through the shadows silently, blending in perfectly. Black against black, the noble Shaodwclan leader pounces on the unsuspecting vole. She kills it with a swift bite to the neck, and buries it at the base of a tree. The leader closes her eyes for a moment to think.

Nightshade silently padded through the forest, listening intently for whatever prey might be scurrying about. Heard something Nightshade did, but it was not the sound of prey. Not the sound of prey in the least. She slunk to the ground, peering through the dew covered grass. She caught site of a black blur. Her muscles tensed. Nightshade quickly tasted the air to see if it was an intruder. She let her muscles relax and a slow breath broke through her lips. It was just Twilightstar.

Nightshade shook her head in embarrassment. How could she not realize her own leader? Letting the little event seep away from her mind, she made her way towards Twilightstar. Nightshade reached her leader and bowed her head. Hello Twilightstar. It is a very nice night. But what are you doing out? Is everything alright? She asked her leader, hoping nothing was wrong.

Twilightstar blinked her eyes open quickly, and saw Nightshadow in front of her. She felt like an elder, closing her eyes to think. Twilightstar took a deep breath and mewed, "No, nothing is wrong." She looked up at the sky, hoping to forget what was on her mind. The moon was hiding behind a cloud, and it was very dark.

The leader realized that she would trust Nightshadow with her life, and she looked back at her quickly. Twilightstar locked her ice blue gaze with Nightshade's eyes. "It seems StarClan doesn't really favor us right now," Twilightstar mewed strongly, "They in fact, seem to be angry. StarClan hasn't talked to me for a moon now." She was feeling betrayed by StarClan, did they even care?

[nightshade]

At first, Nightshade hung her head. She was a bit dissapointed that her leader couldn't tell her what's on her mind. Then her head perked back up. She did plan on telling her. Nightshade listened intently. So she feeled that StarClan wasn't paying attention to her. A thought prodded at Nightshade's mind. You could go to the MoonPool. She said. Then you could take a warrior or something to go with you to protect you. She began to think of which warrior she could take, herself never crossing her mind.

[τwï-τwï</3]

Twilightstar thought about what Nightshadow had said. Her ears perked up, and Twightstar was listening intently. "That's a great idea, Nightshade!" She mewed excitedly. Thoughts were racing through her mind like the river when it overflows. "I shall go right away, will you come with me?" The leader mewed suddenly, kneading her paws on the ground impatiently. "We need to go back to camp first and grab some traveling herbs, along with telling everyone where we're going."

Twilightstar took off running through her territory, towards the ShadowClan camp. Wind ran through her fur, making the leader cold. "Almost there!" Twilightstar muttered to herself, not even looking behind her for Nightshadow, she was too excited to talk to StarClan. But then, a horrible thought ran through Twilightstar's mind; What if StarClan won't talk to me? At that, the leader stopped dead i her tracks, a cold feeling like ice creeping up her spine.

[nightshade]

A smile smoothed out on Nightshade's lips as she heard that Twilightstar liked her idea. Then she asked if she wanted to go with her. Nightshade didn't know what to say at first but as Twilightstar began to race off, she figured that it was a bit inclinedc that she go.

Nightshade raced off after Twilightstar, trying to close the gap between them. Nightshade basically skidded to a halt as she reached the stopped Twilightstar. Is there something wrong? she asked her leader. There was a bit of a worried look glazed over Twilightstar's eyes. She must have been worried about something. Nightshade went a bit closer to the leader, figuring she must be cold after the fast run.

[τwï-τwï</3]

The leader shivered and turned to the worried Nightshade. "What if-if StarClan will not appear? Twilightstar could barely muster up the courage to say those words. She avoided Nightshade for a moment, looking up at the overly bright stars. StarClan could be so confusing sometimes!!

[nightshade]

Nightshade thought over Twilightstar's words for a moment. Trying to decide what to say. Well.. She said thoughtfully. I guess there's no other way to find out the by going. She suggested to her. But, if you don't want to go, I will respect your choice. And will escort you back to camp if you like. She said respectfully. She would back her leader up whatever she decided to do.

[τwï-τwï</3]

Twilightstar flashed a grin at Nightshade's loyalty, she respected her leader in whatever Twilghtstar would to! "Thank you, but I am ready for us to go, you're right, there's no answer but trying!" The ShadowClan leader called over her shoulder as she took off abruptly once again. Nightshade was such a good sport, nice, loyal, and fierce, too. That's why Twilightstar wanted her on the journey to the Moonpool.

[nightshade]

Nightshade laughed quietly to herself as Twilightstar quickly took off toward camp. She had caught Twilightstar's quick smile and it made her glow inside. She loved praise from higher authority. Unless it was someone that thought to much of themselves. That was a different story.

Nightshade pelted after her leader, heading for the camp. She was excited to visit the Moonpool. She was just a kit when they made the great journey, so she never went to the Moonstone after she became a warrior. It seemed as though they left that tradition behind. Either way, she was very happy. She would protect her leader no matter what happened. She would lay down her life in a second if she had to. This was going to be exciting.
