Tigerpaw padded to her new friend's side. "wAht's going on?" she asked.

Spottedleaf made a sign for Tigerpaw to stay there. " someone's here..." she whispered. " go get Raven or someone else...hury!" she told her.

Tigerpaw hurried to camp. "Shadowclaw!" she hissed ot her new mentor. "Spottedleaf smelled an intruder!"

Shadowclaw rose from his sitting position, immediatly rushing from camp and taking a position in front of the two young cats.
"Where?" Shadowclaw hissed silently, trying to keep his voice low but still making sure his urgent tone was recognizable.

Raven heard Tigerpaw's urgent call to her new mentor and rushed after them, she hovered next to Spottedleaf. Placing a protective fore-leg across the small she-cat's chest and leaning forward. If a fight came she didn't know if the kit had any fighting ability.

"here." Tigerpaw raced back to eh spot and crouched low, ready to fight.

Spottedleaf looked at Raven. " over there" she wispered as she pointed. she looked at Raven's leg and smiled alittle. no one ever did that to her. never.

Tigerpaw crouched low, preparing ot spring. She couldn't sotp herself from feeling jeloud in the bond Spottedleaf and Raven clearly had. She didn't have that here. Not unless she wanted to spend time with her motehr who was going to tryy to get her go back to her traitorous father. She shivered slgihtly and narrowed her eyes. She had that protective mentor back home. She had friends who were like family. Now? She closed her eyes for a breif moment before snapping htem open once more.
Frostpaw, Gladepaw, I'll make this right. We'll make this right. Guys, we have to. You're my family. Without you, I'm a scared kit, she thought, fully relaizing it for the first time. Tehy were her fmaily and they were all in it together. She shook her head slowly, attempting without luck to clear it. It didn't matter anymore. The laughs, the fun, the hunting trips, the patrols, any of it. She was ShadowClan. They made their decision, she made hers. She narrowed her eyes once more. IF they hadn't left, she wouldn't have. Whatever triggered htem to go, caused her to adn that was hte end of it. She closed ehr eyes breifly again. Stop! she thought furiously to herself. Cocnentrate! Protect your Clan! She looked back ahead, ready for whatever was hiding.

Spottedleaf looked at Tigerpaw and cocked her head alittle bit. but then there was a russle in the brushes and she looked back at the bush. she crouched down lower and glared at the bush again.

Bump

OOC: Please don't bump the topic, It takes up unwanted space.
And I'm waiting for someone to post with the intruder, because I don't know whether the intruder will just be some random cat or a cat someone will make/one they already have.

OOC: Sandstorm--> ok, sorry..i didnt know ^^'. and what if the intruder was just a bird?

Spottedleaf steped forward and kicked a rock at the bush. suddenly, a bird flew out from the bush and landed on a tree. Spottedleaf's ears went back. she was so emberest. she turned to face the other cats and ighed. " i..." she couldnt finish what she was going to say.

Shadowclaw made a snort of displeasure, what was Raven thinking at this moment? Perhaps regret at offering protection to this kit? A bird, that was what this kit had thought would possibly attack a whole clan?! How disgraceful! How... How...!
"Ugh!" He spat at the young kit, his fur bristled with annoyance as he glared at the small she-cat.
"Come Tigerpaw, we're returning to camp!" He spat over his shoulder, Shadowclaw pushed his way through the brambles and bushes. His large paws making wide foot-prints in the marsh grounds.

He stopped just before he was almost invisible within the thickets. Shadowclaw's gaze passed over Spottedleaf and then over Raven. Her blood-red eyes were gazing into his, not breaking the contact with his eyes. Why did she protect this kit? What did she see in the young she-kit?
"I'll see you at camp..." He mewed with a slight hint of a growl breaking through his forced, calm tone.
Raven simply dipped her head respectfully. Shadowclaw wasn't in sight, but still close enough to hear what she would say to the kit.

Raven turned to the bird then at Spottedleaf, her face let on nothing of what she felt. Her half-eyes rested on the face of this kit before her.
She said nothing and turned to leave, heading for the camp. Raven had nothing to say, if the kit wished to leave early now, she would not stop her.
Her shoulders moved with her paw steps, and her pads left marks in the mud underfoot. She did not look back, she did not pause or stop.

Spottedleaf watched everyone leave she stood there with tears in her eyes. ' i'm such an idiot!' she said to herself. she turned around and looked at the forest behind her. she then started to run as fast as she could. tears were running down her cheaks. she was going to turn a corner when a different Clan jumped infront of her. she stoped in her tracks and looked at them terrified.

OOC: this is what she looks like;
the first one is her now and the last one is her older.
