Sandleaf Sandleaf purred and was about to head out. She stopped and gave Ravenstar a puzzled expression. Pebblepaw? But he hadn't returned for moons....it was more likely that he perished with the rest of the clan during the attack.
Pebblepaw Pebblepaw opened his mouth. "I smell it too-" His eyes widened. He recognized the voice. Ravenclaw? Oh no, so they were alive! "Quick! Hide!" He hissed, shoving Snow into a tree hollow.
Stoneheart Stoneheart stared at his leader, slightly baffled. "Are you sure? If it was him, why didn't he try to find us sooner?" He mewed with a slight edge to his voice.
Sylvester "Maizieeee! Heeey!" A voice called from a neighboring garden. With a grunt, Sylvester hauled his fat self onto the fence and grinned at his friend. "Hey! I thought I heard your cat door opening! What's up?" He mewed in a jolly voice.

Snow
Snow gasped as she was thrust into the hollow. "Hey! What did you do that for," she hissed, struggling into a more upright position. "Don't you want to see them?" She struggled some more, hissing and spitting while she did so.
Maizie
"Oh hey Sylvester," she purred. "nothing much. My housefolk are out again." She rolled her eyes. "He'll be back later, I'm sure, but I do wish he wouldn't leave." She jumped down off of the fence, and into the other garden, to see her friend standing there. Tail high, she sniffed around, checking for new scents and whatnot. She looked back over. "What's up with you?"

Pebblepaw Pebblepaw pressed close to her, leaning as deep as he could into the hollow. "Yeah, I'm not sure they'll welcome me with open paws." He hissed back in a hasty whisper, his tail and shoulder fur spiked with fear. "I'm a traitor, after all." @aetherwyvern66 ~Goldensplash~
Sylvester "Nothing really interesting. I heard Fritz's mate, Caramel had kits recently." Sylvester mewed, watching his friend sniff around. "Are you thinking about heading into the woods again? It's super dangerous! I heard howling the other night." He mewed, sounding slightly panicky.

Snow
"Traitor," she hissed quietly, "is just a word. You ran away from wolves." She laid her ears back against her head, pressing back into the tree. Clearly these cats were something to fear. She sighed. "I suppose I'm a traitor for running away as well then, huh."
Maizie
"Oh well that's very nice. If you see either of them, congratulate them for me. I wonder how many there are?" She walked further out into the open, towards her friend. She laughed. "The forest? Sylvester! I told you that was an accident." Her tone darkened. "I did hear the wolves. I pity any cat that is staying there." She shuddered, and blinked. "Lucky we aren't out there, eh?"

Pebblepaw Despite his fear, he was able to give Snow a puzzled look. "You? A traitor? Who did you betray?" He asked curiously, even though he kept his guard up in case the others found him.
Sylvester "Goldie told me it was four." Sylvester mewed happily, licking a paw and running it over his ears. He nodded in agreement with Maizie's statement. "Do you think the rumors are true? 'bout feral cats living in the forest? Do you think...do you think they really eat housecats like us?" He asked with a shiver if fear.

Snow
Snow shrugged, with some difficulty within the confined space. "Just the cats I used to live with," she meowed vaguely, "I don't regret it." Though she stared coldly ahead of her, she seemed to be attempting to convince herself. "I do have this scar though," she meowed, pawing at her muzzle, "it hurts like crazy."
Maizie
"Four? How nice." She looked around, and nodded. "The forest is unpredictable. You think it's one way, and then it's the other." She shrugged. "I've always assumed so, I remember scenting some when I was there, though it may have simply been another cat from here that fell off of their fence-" she trailed off, and thought for a moment, and then her eyes filled with worry. "I don't see why they'd eat us housecats though.. Even I can smell the prey-scent from inside my own garden."

Snow
Snow flinched and whipped her head around to Pebblepaw. "They're calling for you," she whispered. "If you don't go out now, you'll only get into more trouble with them later." She shouldered past him, and into the open, sniffing the air.

Pebblepaw Pebblepaw tensed, looking wary and alarmed. Ravenclaw...she didn't sound mad or threatening...on the contrary, she sounded...sad. Longing. Was she worried about the two missing apprentices? He turned to look at Snow. "I....I can't. Not on my own...I know I'm a coward," He added quickly in case she tried to protest. "But I'm actually very, very scared." He didn't know if this was appropriate for the moment, but he gave the scar a reassuring lick, as if to make it feel better.
Sandleaf Sandleaf's eyes widened as she heard Ravenstar. She really believed it was Pebblepaw...well, it's not like Sandleaf wasn't hoping either. She stared at the bushes, hoping...
Stoneheart Stoneheart waited. If the apprentice didn't reveal himself, then Ravenstar was imagining things.
Sylvester "Oh...well, that's reassuring." Sylvester purred, jumping down into the garden next to Maizie with a grunt as his weight followed with him. "What would you do if you saw a feral cat? I'd run as fast as I could home." He asked her, tilting his head to the side curiously.

Snow
Snow blinked at him, her eyes and tone softening. "Come on out, I'll come with you," she meowed reassuringly. She called out to the forest. "Hello?"
Maizie
Maizie chuckled, "Well I'd do the same as you!" She paused for a moment before adding humorously, "Whether they exist or not." She waved her tail happily in the air. "Well, it's been nice seeing you. I'm going to go find Fitz. Bye!" She leapt up onto the fence and began to pad away.

Pebblepaw Pebblepaw stood by Snow's side, taking in a deep breath. Her presence, though they had just met, reassured him. "Ravenclaw. It's me, Pebblepaw." He called in a shaky voice.
Stoneheart Stoneheart's eyes widened in surprise when he heard the voice of one of the lost apprentices. "That's-!" He was stuck into silence. It really was him!
Sylvester Sylvester gave a purr of amusement. "I'll see you around! Bye, Maizie!" He called, somehow hauling his fat self onto the fence and unsteadily teetering off to his own garden, dropping below and squeezing through his catflap.

Snow
"And I'm with him. My name is Snow," she meowed, trying to be confident. "I live down just a bit that way," she mewed, gesturing behind her with her tail.

Stoneheart Stoneheart gave the small white rogue a questioning look, but he wasn't hostile. "Greetings, Snow." He mewed, looking at his leader, awaiting her words.
Ravenstar said, "Welcome back, Pebblepaw. You may rejoin the Clan. But first, I am the leader now. My name is rightfully Ravenstar." She watched to the direction of the Twolegplace. "We're headed past the Twolegplace."
