"Wait!"

Acornstar glared down to see who interrupted her. A small apprentice stood before her that she had known as Darkpaw, Acornstar examined him with cold eyes. Darkpaw was a pitch-black tom with dark brown eyes making him like he was wearing an invisible cloak in dark spaces, all the more to give him his name. He opened his mouth to speak, "I know Dawnclan, I know their plans..." He trailed off like he was lost in thought looking at the others who were originally supposed to come up, Vixenpaw especially as she darted him a look. Darkpaws eyes met her own, they glowed with a confident firm gaze but she could see through it. Hiding behind those dark eyes was scaredness, fear.

"Go on." She said chasing away her thoughts. A breeze brushed their fur and Darkpaw took a breath in as the clan silently glared at him like eyes slowly watching your every move, every flaw. "I went to visit their clan earlier today... DawnClan has Greencough. They only steal food and herbs from our territory to help them survive because they don't have enough for themselves.." Acornstar thought for a moment, was this true? Why haven't they just told her? She leaned closer, she could hear the clans whispering like a wasp in her ear. Darkpaw looked up at her, "First of all, don't go sneaking off like that. But we will chat about that later. Second, why did you have the intent to go over there?" She said with a stone-hard glare, she could feel her own fur bristle in anger, but not much. Nightfall covered the sky vanishing and destroying the last bit of light to reveal a better beauty, stars appeared like fireflies lighting up a forest. The moon was but a little sliver in the sky, and the trees gently blew in the cold air but blocking most of it from entering the clearing.

The wind blew her face making a small shiver spread across her. Acornstar went in closer until they were almost touching noses, she could see Darkpaw's fur slowly standing, rising, bristling. He sighed "I- I- I had a vision about the blood, the blood... It was everywhere, wherever I walked. It was like being frozen in time. I saw no Starclan cats but I did get this instant feeling I had to stop it, so I went to Dawnclan... I am sorry, punish me how you like. But please, things will go a lot worse if we did fight." Fear slowly loosened its grip behind the mask he put on to hide it.

"Very well. Let us go to Dawnclan, we shall see where that takes us." Acornstar looked up, pondering why the vision hasn't been sent to her or Firesong, the medicine cat. Is there something in him? Something that calls upon Darkpaw? She looked down at him. Acornstar could hear the wind growing lighter and see the moon glowing brighter, the clan grew silent again looking at her and Darkpaw as if they were about to fight. Darkpaw looked up with hesitance but turned to fiery confidence. "Let us go then," Acornstar said hopping down from her perch and into the quiet cold woods.
