(SITE PLOT) In The Shadows (ALL)

[SpoodleDoodles]

THIS IS THE SHADOWCLAN RESCUE THREAD WHERE THEY ATTEMPT TO SAVE THE CAPTURED THUNDERCLANNERS.
THIS IS TAKING PLACE AT THE SAME TIME AS FOXSTAR'S PATROL, SO THE WARRIORS WITH HIM ARE NOT IN CAMP CURRENTLY.
No WindClan cats shall see them until given permission. The Chosen Cat of ShadowClan will take the lead in the rescue. The chosen cat is to be Cometfire rped by Fleet.

NO SHADOWCLAN CAT MAY SERIOUSLY INJURE A WINDCLAN CAT WITHOUT PERMISSION!

Make sure you read above!

Heronflight

They were shadows, slipping across the unfamiliar moors. Although not made the leader of the mission, it was Heronflight who lead the rescue band across the moors, entrusted by Lynxsnow to be her eyes and ears. Although Heronflight had volunteered, Lynxsnow had said it would be a younger warrior then her that would be needed for the Chosen Cat. Heronflight and her brother were needed at home in ShadowClan. She glanced to her left, barely able to make out her brother Deepmask gliding along beside her. Despite his deep black fur, her brother was still able to hide himself among the heather and moor grass.

On silent paws the others followed nearby, until they camp to the rise that would overlook WindClan's camp. Heronflight paused, pricking her ears forward. The camp was far quieter then normal. Too quiet. It sounded nearly empty. Was WindClan gone to battle ThunderClan? Her whiskers twitched. That did not matter at the moment. She glanced back at the cats with her and twitched her ears, indicating it was time for the others to take over. A resigned look crossed her face. She'd still participate, but she'd be watching the others now instead of leading them. Watching for the cat with the skills and boldness Lynxsnow desired.

OocL All patrol cats may post. however there will be no action until the Chosen cat had posted.

[The one, the only FEATHER!]

Atrawhisper felt in her element streaking across the moor lands. though she had been in shadowclan she hadn't adopted them. their smells only annoyed her. an the smell of windclan was no better but.. at least it didn't smell like swamp. Atra's eyes swept over the cats that she was with. before rolling her silver eyes at their sight. how stupid they were. she looked up to heronflight before flicking her ears looking to the side her gaze darkening looking right at bloodlithe. the tom seemed to be a little shocked at how quick she picked up on him. but of course atra was no normal cat well for a clan cat.



Her silver eyes gleamed as a deadly smirk came over her face. her scarrs all healed from the first she had arrived to shadow clan. the moonlight gleamed. though tempted atra kept into the shadows. oh how all her hard work would pay off. her Hench cat had disappeared but that was no fault. she could do things herself, entirely. the cold air touched her nose making her wriggle it. her paws landed lightly on the damp ground. the ends of her furr felt every tingle of air that came past them.


the land did seem empty. but atra swallowed her words at the moment she was a blender the clans will soon realize a little too late what was coming for them when she takes over endzone, an kill prince. she had to nothing would stop her. the others ahead of her we now becoming to a halt an so did she silent as ever though her bright moonlight silver eyes showed the evil gleam within herself. The she-cat looked towards heronflight who stopped indicating for the cats to go forward.atra began to start padding off but atra stopped herself feeling the glare from bloodlithe. atra smirked darkly maybe she could some way convict bloodlithe to change sides. since he is being on her case a lot more than usual.

When the white with black spots tom decided he would be by atras side to keep an eye on her he wasn't expecting her to turn to him looking right at him. it was the real first time he got to see. her moonlight eye an it sent a chill to his spine though he did not let that show to much his yellow orbs looked forward watching the others. He was naturally a shadowclanner but running in the night with his pelt mostly covered in white was not his best strategy. but he was a heck of a battler if it was needed to come to that.


bloodlithe let the cold air fill his lungs as it also sucked the air from him, at the cold touch, his fluffy fur keeping him warm threw their stealth run. windclan seemed to be empty not by prey but cats presence. he smirked under his maw. this would turn out to be easy. Though as he thought about it. windclan was going a little extreme holding a number of cats hostage. though it was thunderclan greenstar who had sent them. bloodlithe could see a lot of trouble could come out of this that was for sure.

[Fleet]

The large ginger and white tom stuck close to his uncles side. They travelled at the back of the group, the white, brown and black Kanslar padded along in silence. The young Cometfire wondered what dark thoughts were running through his uncles mind. He knew his uncle had not been the same since Fallenwind had betrayed them all, he knew his uncle had hardly been sleeping or talking and he knew this mission might be a way for his uncle to finish it all. That was why he had volunteered and that was why he was watching Kanslar like a hawk. But he did not miss Atrawhisper's look to Bloodlithe, his single forest, green eye narrowed and he quickly moved forwards, flashing Atrawhisper his best mocking smirk as he spoke softly"Eyes up front Atrawhisper.... Unless you want a friendly Windclanner hanging onto your Jelly Beans!" With that he sounded like his father for the first time in his life, he sounded commanding and the words made it clear he did not expect her to argue, he just expected her to obey. To his surprise as he spoke, he found Kanslar alongside him. His uncle had a more dangerous glare as he gazed upon Atrawhisper, as if he would love nothing more than to beat her bloody. Cometfire flicked his ginger tail against his uncles shoulder and indicated ahead, there was the Windclan camp coming into view. If anything their approach was slower than the earlier stages to their journey, for now they were taking double the amount of care not to be seen or heard. But upon reaching the camp they found it nearly deserted, their were sounds in some of the den's which suggested cats were there. Cometfire glanced around all the other cats as they gathered silently just outside the camp. He felt Kanslar shuffle beside him and say softly"There's hardly anybody there.... We should just round up all the Windclan cats there and guard them until we find the hostages..... Maybe rough a few up to discover where the prisoners are!" To which Cometfire rolled his single, forest green gaze as he answered icily"You and miss bloody thirsty over there would love that.... Any way to provoke a fight..." He flicked his fluffy ginger tail in Atrawhisper's direction, a clear sign that he knew exactly what she was like and could see through her friendly charade. Kanslar glanced towards Cometfire then Atrawhisper in surprise but fell silent as Cometfire spoke again, softly, calmly and firmly"No.... We shouldn't march straight in.... It could be a trap.... We should analyze their camp first.... Find other ways in, from here it looks like the camps back defenses have fallen into disrepair, but we'd have to look closer....." His single forest, green eye glanced between his clan mates, daring them to argue and say he was not being wise. For after all, they were here with the hope to stop a war and that meant they should try to avoid starting one themselves.

Cometfire (includes Kanslar)

[Deleted]

her blue eyes gleamed as she watched it all happen. Lynxanow had chosen her to go on the patrol. She was to be there with the rest of the cats. Deep mask, Heronflight, Kanslarr, Areawhisper, Cometfire, Bloodlithe and many others. Her flowing silver pelt weaved in the trees as they made there way to Windclan territory.they had to rescue the Thunderclan prisoners. It their job. Berryshades grin couldn't be hidden from her maw. She was to excited, to proud to keep the sly grin from her face.

Her eyes glimmered, and she raced with the patrol, and stopped when Cometfire did. She listened as he snapped at Atrawhisper for not looking ahead. She let a mear chuckle escape her lips, and padded onward. Her blue gaze drifting as the Windclan camp came into view. Her ears perked as Cometfire and Kanslarr bean talking, and listened intently as they figurehead out plans of attack. Sneaking up on them eh? She could do that! Her silver pelt would blend into the moors well. Comestfire I can sneak across to the back of the camp to inspect if it you wish. My silver pelt would blend in easily with the moorland. I wouldn't be spotted. Her gaze flickered across the gathered cats. All waiting for a plan of attack,

[The one, the only FEATHER!]

The white black silvery tabby glared her moonlight eyes at the words at her. She gave adeathening glare to the young cat. he actually sounded like . when kanslar spoke She flicked her ears in his direction. tilting her head in thought. the tom was a odd one at that. For he was the one who begged his brother that she would not be sent away to take her in. an the tom she sees now was a cat, low enough to even perhaps trick into following her. at her thought a hiss stiffled her her moonlight eyes looked to cometfire listening to his remark. Atrawhispers smile grew wider in size.



The she-cats moonlight eyes gleamed in lightness. Atrawhispers felt a couple eyes upon her an when kanslar looked at her atrawhispers liet her eyes gleam. before mewing softly " oh.. you don't know me at all cometfire dear" her tai ltwitched as she heard berryshades mew. atra looked at the cat at her pelt as she spoke. an atra tried not to laugh before letting her eyes flash with a idea. as she mewed lightly " i will go with her to scout it out. my pelt to blends in with the poor moors. or would you rather me to team up with kanslar an scout something else out?" she mewed lightly in a hushed tone she felt bloodlithes presence behind her an atra smirked darker. Atra could not find this any more entertaining thann anything. taking orders from such a young cat. soilisstar for litter at that. one that was torchured with one remaining eye. atra gave it to him but. it was a sheer waste.

bloodlithe let his yellow eyes darken watching from the back in absoulute silence listening to comfires comment then berryshade suggesting she would bland in. then his ears flicked a little shocked that now atrawhisper wanted to play a part in this. he narrowed his eyes she was playing at something. The white with black spots tom was now regretting putting her up for the mission.


the cold air lifted threw as he listened to the ideas. cometfire was a young cat indeed but he had his fathers smarts thank starclan for that. bloodlithe would follow him then anyother cat gathered there, that was for sure.

[pιnĸιeѕĸy ♥]

The black and white tuxedo tom crept at the back of the patrol. He volunteered himself for this mission because he knew of his own ability to be sneaky. He was strong as well. He kept quiet and didn't offer to do anything, however. He wanted to wait for Cometfire or Heronflight to give him something to do. The Windclan camp was practically empty, after all. But, perhaps that would make it easier to rescue the Thunderclan hostages. The less cats there are, the better. He wondered if he should share his thoughts with the others. He watched with a slightly amused expression on his face as everybody argued over the plan and what would happen next. He was curious about whether they would even decide to pull off the rescue or not. He finally decided to speak up, "I think it might be easier to just go ahead and do the rescue now since there are fewer cats... It'd be a lot easier to get away with it.."

Heronflight

The dark grey tabby and white crouched down lower as the ShadowClan patrol discussed among themselves what to do. her ears twitched at their words, seeing the merit of the arguments. But there was one course of action Lynxsnow would not approve. Her ears flattened at Kanslarr's words. There were kits down there, and apprentices, and elders that would be terrified at being attacked in their home when it was nearly empty. Though there'd be a confrontation eventually, the less fighting, the better. Was there a way to surround the camp? They had to do it quickly. her ears pricked at young Cometfire's words, and she glanced across at him as Berryshade offered herself for a scout.

Hearing Icelight's words, Heronflight rose smoothly to her paws, her brother Deepmask a dark shadow beside her. "We must be quick, but we must not harm the WindClan cats. There will be few warriors. We must surprise or overwhelm them without harm. " her blue gaze flickered across to Cometfire, and she dipped her head slightly. "Cometfire, you take point. What plan do you have?" With this Heronflight indicated to the others they would be following the young Cometfire's lead for now. Not only had the young cat offered the most peaceful solution, but for a moment Heronflight had heard Solisstar's command tone in his voice, and she had learnt to trust that tone long ago.

[Fleet]

His ginger ears flickered as he heard the other cats answer to his words, his single green eye fixed first on Berryshade who had spoke up first, then Atrawhisper, he listened to all words thrown at him as a plan formed in his head.Then Heronflight was talking telling him to take the point. Taking a deep breath he spoke"Ok... This is how we're going to do it.. Berryshade, Icelight, Kanslar are to sneak in the back way and rescue the cats who got caught.... Berryshade will lead.... Heronflight, Atrawhisper and myself will cause a peaceful distraction...." He looked pointedly at Atrawhisper as he spoke the word peaceful, before flicking his single gaze to his uncle also who was refusing to look at him and was instead staring at the camp before him. Cometfire did not feel comforted by it and so added"Remember we are here to prevent a war, not to start one if possible.... So you we are only to fight if there is no other alternative, do you all understand me?" The young warrior did not realize it, but once again he was using his father's old commanding tone and it was that which brought Kanslar's ice blue eyes to his face. He saw a spark in them, a spark of pain that he did not quite understand but he chose to ignore it. He had wanted to keep his uncle with him to stop him doing something stupid but he knew Kanslar's skills at sneaking around were far better than some of the others, he also knew if the other two cats with him told him to stop Kanslar would stop. But looking at Atrawhisper, he did not trust her one bit and therefore he had chosen to keep her with him, where he could watch her, to make sure he could keep her under control if things got out of hand, His gaze flicked around all the warriors gathered, he made sure his single, forest green eye met every single pair of eyes so that he could be sure they understood that there was to be little, if not no physical fighting unless there was no other alternative. His fluffy ginger tail curled at the tip as his uncle spoke up"We understand Cometfire..... No fighting unless they force the hand.... Now, shall we get this thing done because I don't know about the rest of you but I'd quite like to get back to our own clan in time for supper!"

Cometfire (Includes Kanslar)

[Deleted]

her light blue eyes gleamed with delight. She was going to be useful, she was going to bring the prisoner cats home. She looked as Cometfire scanned the area. Icelight and Kanslarr would be going with her. She nodded at Cometfire and rounded up her patrol. They would wait, and watch for a signal to go and get the cats. Her blue eyes glimmered as she turned to Cometfire. We'll sneak to the back of the camp, and get in through a hole in the wall, from where we sit, I think can see a hole big enough where we can get in. Cometfire, we will wait for your distracts to go and get the prisoners. Do you think any of them are wounded? This was critical. She had to think of the plan to get them. If they were wounded, it would be 10x harder.

Berryshade went off to one part, and waited for her cats to assemble. They had to be careful, and she had to control Kanslarr. He'd want to just dive in, but his current words contradicted that. Her silver body glowed white under the light, and a cold breeze drifted off the moor. This was awful. They really would have to be quick,

[The one, the only FEATHER!]

atrawhisper:



the silver eyed cat blinked her eyes at cometfire as the tom mewed upon the word of peaceful. she lashed her tail an battered her eyes at the tom. she found it funny how the tom thought he needed to treat her. an she thought maybe causing a little trouble but... flicked her ears bloodlithe was around. she knew she had to keep things on the down low. but as the names got called out atra dared on " oh fearless one you forgot one dear bloodlithe wasn't placed on one you know" her eyes flicked to bloodlithe who was watching her like a hawk threw the whole time. atra tilted her head an smiled kindly before looking back to the fearless or so tom.


bloodlithe looked up to cometfire " it's a no brainer atra in white an stick out making me ideal for a distraction love" he let his yellow eyes lay on cometfire before looking at atra the she-cat showed no remorse at his words. bloddlithe could not put his paw on it but he knew atra was up to something.

[SpoodleDoodles]

Heronflight

As she watched as the cat took their orders, and knew she had made the right choice as she rose to join Cometfire, her brother Deepmask looking across almost longingly at the scouts before joining her at her side. Cometfire hadn't mentioned him, but despite his superior stalking skills Deepmask was never far from his sister. Like Bloodlithe, he knew without being told were he would be. They waited, side-by-side, for the young cat's signal to move forward. Heronflight unsheathed her claws to stretch them, before putting them away again. They would not harm any cat unless they had too. "Shall we get a move on?" She began edging forward herself, her blue eyes flickering as she looked for the first WindClan cat in her line of sight. A moment later, she spotted one, and it was one she recognised. The black form of Meadowbreeze was pacing the clearing, looking unusually alert. "Let's go before the breeze changes and takes our scents to them."

Ooc: Sorry it's so short, its 2am XD post with Meadow and others in next post.

[Fleet]

(After this post, people with Windclan cats still within WC during the patrol to TC can post here, the Shadowclan cats plan IS to succeed and Windclan are to be distracted by those at the camps entrance allowing Shadowclan to rescue the Thunderclan hostages!)

Cometfire ignored Atrawhisper's patronizing voice, instead allowing Bloodlithe to put the she-cat in her place, his ginger ears flickered as Berryshade called the cats sneaking in the back way to follow her. He let them slip round and out of sight before moving out into the open, signaling the others to follow him. He wanted to make it obvious that they were there so he moved towards the camp entrance calling"Cats of Windclan! Are you there? Are you alright? We heard a commotion and were sent to check that all was well!" He moved forwards, acting as if this was their true reason for being their, a concerned look gracing his scarred ginger and white face. His single, forest green eye zooming around the camp as he halted in its entrance, waiting for the Windclanners to fix upon him and come speak with him. He hoped to do this entirely without claws even being drawn and at the same time he was improvising but he had always been good at talking, he was well known for it. He wondered if any of the Windclan cats would remember him as the Shadowclan kit to apprentice who used to escape Shadowclan to play on all the other clans territories. He recalled their disbelieving amused faces upon finding him attacking leaves and feathers in their territory, but they had never been angry with him, they had left that up to his father. More often than not they had been amused by his young, innocent playfulness but he guessed that might of changed, he just had to hope that the Windclanners responded only to his words and were distracted by his ability to waffle on about almost anything when the time came to it.

Kanslar meanwhile moved a little behind Berryshade, allowing her to take lead point despite his longing to plunge right in. They crept through the shadows around the back of the camp, using shadows and the rough terrain to help disguise their presence. It was all also helped by the fact the wind was blowing towards them, not away from them, meaning they were downwind from any cats within the camp. As they rounded the back of the camp he heard Cometfire's loud call and now he instinctively knew he could not do anything stupid else his brother's eldest son might suffer for it. He just had to hope that Cometfire knew exactly what he was doing, else the young warrior might wind up in alot of trouble. As they reached the hole in the camps back wall Kanslar looked to Berryshade, allowing her to examine the hole and go through first. He could already smell a slight Shadowclan scent mixed with Windclan stench, as well as a strong, bitter and irony smell of blood. He glanced to Iceflight, before returning his gaze to Berryshade, waiting for her to go through and silently give them the signal to follow her through.

[Deleted]

SHe sat, her blue eyes trained at the entrance of the camp. She was needed to make sure they wouldn't be ambushed. Her ears pricked to listen to group assemble behind her. Berryshades tail thrashing silently in the air as she grew impatient. Then she heard Cometfire's call to the windclan cats, and watched as they went to find Cometfire. good work cometfire, now to get these cats out of here....

Berryshade turned back to the cats and spoke in a low whisper. "Alright, i think there are some wounded in there, so Kanslarr, since your the strongest out of the three of us, can you get the wounded taken care of first? Icelight and I will go down and get the rest of the them. We need to be in and out of here, so I can send the signal to Cometfire that we got them. Alright?

[/color] She nodded her head at them and moved back to the hole in the back of the camp. With a flick of her tail, she dismissed Kanslarr in first, his small body would be less noticable then Icelight or Berryshade's slightly larger one.

Soon after she sent in Icelight, and then herself. She saw the prisoners, and flicked her tail to that general direction, and moved slowly over to them. Pausing as she got them, and hiding behind some brambles. "Cats of Thunderclan![/color] She whispered softly, Are any of you injurded? If so Kanslarr here.[/color] she pointed out the small tom, will get you out first, the rest will follow my lead. There is a hole big enough for a cat to fit through in the back wall over there.[/color] She pointed with her tail, to the south wall. You each will go through it one at a time, and then dash to the bush a few foxlenghts away from the hole. Then wait there for me, and we will take you back home.[/color] She waited until the thunderclanners took her orders, and began to usher them from their prision to freedom.[/justify][/blockquote][/blockquote]

[The one, the only FEATHER!]

The air was still to the chill bloddlithe followed in behind her. And atra could not help but smile at this. how the shadowclan cats were being so sneaky after all that was happening. she flicked her ears as cometfire spoke she was about to snarl at him to keep quiet but then she remembered the plan was to loud an distracting. she listened to cometfires words. they sounded so see threw. so the she-cat decided to add her own bit they were a distraction weren't they??


" Is anyone home?" atra mewed nicely beforingg mewing halfheartedly to her team mates " you know cometfire we probably just woke the poor souls up, it seems ok here" he mew was to her team mates but was loud enough for the cats inside to hear. blodlithe flicked his yellow gaze at her knowing what she was trying to play at that was when he mewed in response to her. " doesn't matter if some were asleep we were sent to check if everything was alright so quite complaining atra, the clans have been threw enough already" at that the white fluffed tom an his devilish eyes flicked glowing to cometfire. atra smiled nodding her head giving a grumble in her good acting. her tail lashed as she heard pawsteps but then it was a voice that was heard...




redstirke;


he woke up an was to his paws strait away the tom glowed his blue eyes in the dark hearing the voices atra? he had no idea who it was. he knew the other two voices bloodlithe an cometfire. sent here to see if things were alright?? that was when his eyes widening sounding the waking up alarm not caring if he was on guard duty or not his clan came first some thought he was mad but that was not the case. he remembered who was put on the top while fioxstar was gone. his ears an eyes flicked around the camp looking. since he was commanded to sleep outside. as he listened to the words they had been quiet for a few hours nothing Major.


that was when his claws grabbed at the ground in absolute anger. holding himself there he looked to where the thunderclan captures were kept his mind whirled before he grinned.. " oh that is good..... " the tom smiled his blue gaze as he sat back down upon his paws closing his eyes his ears still pricked, even if he said what he thought no one would listen to him or would shut him up anyway. redstirke curled his tail over his body. he couldn't wait to see if he was right. So much for having the upper paw.








he sat in the shelter that was given to them. his blue eyes looked around at the two wounded toms. he couldn't help but look at the sky between the den outline. he wondered about his daughter. since she had known an they talked more honeywhisker began to miss his daughter more an more.

Suddenly a silently shuffle caught his eyes though he kept quiet he twitched his ears in listening kanslarr hmm.. his tail twitched as he listened to their words. he looked around the camp as lives were starting to stirr. honeywhisker looked toward lilacshadow flicking his eyes at her. to trake the injured ones he would stay where he was. since he was in front of of the entrance in view no cat would think they would try anything.


his ears flicked listening waiting to hear them move. his blue eyes looked up to the sky. im coming home my darling, i will make things right by you i promise. he made himself promise. threw anything in this experience he had scene what redstrike was capable of. an sunningflame her bravery. he would one day thank her for her bravery. but right now he was going home to set things right with his daughter. not that he knew she was exiled when he will get home he will be shattered. but his blue eyes flicked to the moon knowing some reason she was looking to.





flicked his ears hearing the alarm call sounded within the camp waking up the cats in there bloddlithe wondered who that was. though he tilted his head to his companions wondering who would come out. if foxastar was not tere who had he put in second charge. his white plumy body stood out like a twig in a river. his yellow eyes blinked hoping berryshades group was having any luck.

[SpoodleDoodles]

Heronflight

The fluffy dark grey tabby and white followed Cometfire down to the camp's entrance, her ears pricking at her Clanmates' words. The WindClanners all jerked violently, several running towards the entrance with fangs bared before they realised who had come. They were jumpy, far more jumpy then normal for the rabbit-chasers. The one cat called out above the rest, and the black form of Meadowbreeze came warily across the clearing. Heronflight curled her tail along her back in the most friendly manner possible, but it was hard to be disarming when you were lying to cats as desperate as these looked. There was no sign of freshkill in the camp, and each cat looked like skin draped over bones. But still their eyes were bright and clear, their claws glinting and dangerous. Their determination merited their Clan. And it was to protect them from further harm that they were doing what had to be done. Deepmask rumbled from her side, and Heronflight added her voice to the others'. "Everything alright, WindClan?"

Meadowbreeze

The white-speckled black she-cat twitsted round so fast she almost cut herself in half. her face was already baring a snarl when she located the intruders. others raced to intercept them, but then she saw them slow, falter, and finally stop. She, too, lost her snarl when she saw who the visitors were. But Foxstar had entrusted the camp to her, and Flickapelt had asked her to watch her kits closely. Meadowbreeze was a responsible cat, she took her duties seriously. she glanced around once for her mate Autumnspirit before she advanced forward, looking over the cats that had come to see them. Heronflight she recognised immediately. Atrawhisper and Bloodlithe also, along with Deepmask, were familiar to her.

The youngest one, though, the one at the head of the formation, she had to consider for a moment before she placed him. Cometfire. Solisstar's eldest son, who her mate had once helped to rescue from loners. She could remember him as the explorer kit, occasionally found out on the moors. More of the Clan came forward, curious as well as wary. And despite the words and kind smiles, Meadowbreeze felt like something was off. So with a flick of her tail she called those- even the guards- forward as she went to meet the ShadowClan patrol. her voice was clear and calm, though she wished Foxstar or his new deputy was still in camp to support her. "ShadowClan! It is good to see Lynxstar is still keeping an ear out for her neighbours. There was a fight several nights ago. But we're all still in one piece."

Lilacshadow

Her black ears pricked at the commotion outside, and she knew something was wrong when even the guards outside their prison cave left to investigate. For a moment, she considered taking Honeywhisker and running, but they could not leave Falconeyes and Spellbound at the mercy of the WindClan cats again. It was the reason they had all gotten caught in the first place. But then a voice whispered along the wall, and Lilacshadow's ears pricked in disbelief. She padded towards the entrance of the prison and looked out, seeing that the guards were now some distance away with their backs to them. The second thing she saw was a ShadowClan cat not two inches form her faces. Berryshade?!

Dipping her head slightly to show she'd understood, she disappeared quickly back into the den. That little wretch Sootflame was still in camp, and she knew his reputation for observation as well as any cat. When Honeywhisker came to sit guard at the entrance for her, she went to the two younger spies, and poked them both awake, having not much sympathy for either of them at the moment. "Come on, wake up, start moving, our way out has arrived." She had no idea why ShadowClan was here for them, since they were supposed to be allies with WindClan, but she had no intention of staying within striking range of that deranged Redstrike. Foxstar was a fair leader. But Lynxstar would keep the peace at all costs. And so that was the leader she would bet on today, no matter what her suspicions were. They could always escape from the ShadowClanners later if need be. They wouldn't watch them like the WindClan cats had, as if they were precious prey.. Her soft growl echoed in the dark. "One at a time, I'll help carry you out. Help's waiting outside. Let's go, snails!"
