"Maybe you should come with me," Frostfox suggested. "It's going to get late soon, and Stonekit's Clan will have started to worry."

Stonekits ears were back. "Fallenstar will have my head! How did I wonder off this far..." she whispered. Her eyes were firm and unmoving, tough she was crouched low to the ground. Her ears were still back and tears were filling her eyes.

"Okay, Frostfox. Let's go Stonekit." Talltail meowed. She was nearly reluctant to leave the conversation behind, but they had to get Stonekit back to Windclan. She lead the way out of the thorn tunnel and into the forest.

Stonekit followed sticking low to the ground. "Talltail, did you know my mom?" she asked, still sticking pretty low. Her ears were back to. "What is ThunderClan like?", "Why did I wonder off so far?", as a kit she liked to ask questions.

Frostfox walked beside Stonekit. He understood the kits questions since he'd never met his own parents.

"Why are my parents dead?" she asked. That was really the question she wanted to know. She wanted to know why her mom and her dad left her. Why?, she thought sourly.

Talltail stopped suddenly at the kit's last question. Her heart felt like a stone in her chest as she recalled the dreadful memory, but she couldn't ignor Stonekit, "I knew your mother." she turned to face her. She was attacked by dogs before giving birth to you and," she paused. She didn't want to tell Stonekit that her father killed himself and she didn't want to lie either. "Your father died of a broken heart." she meowed, it was the best answer she could give. "Now let's get going, we don't want Windclan to worry too much." Talltail meowed and began to trot through the undergrowth keeping a steady pace for the kit.

Frostfox gently licked the kit's ear. "I know how you feel, Stonekit. I never met my parents."

Sorrow pulsed through Talltail as if it was in her blood. Her friend had died and she had to explain it to her last kit, but she felt terrible for Stonekit, with both of her parents gone, it must be difficult. She continued to pad through the forest with Frostofox and Stonekit until the trees opened to the moor. She stopped at the edge of the boarder and meowed, "We have to cross into Windclan territory now." It was more of a warning to Frostfox that they would be hostile and most likely unwelcome. She crossed the boarder into Windclan. The ground felt familiar under paw and Talltail knew the way to the camp, for she had once lived there.

Frostfox felt wary as he padded along behind Talltail. His ears swiveled around, alert for any sign of danger.

Some things felt fimlliar to Talltail, but other things were very strang. The wind still wisp over the open land, but the grass grew taller in some areas and she could scent mouse by them instead of the usual rabbit. *The land must have changed since I'd been there last,* she thought *and probably the camp too.*

Frostfox could feel traces of emotion coming from Talltail, and he remembered that she used to be a WindClan cat. "Is everything how it used to be, Talltail?"

"Some things are, but mostly it's different." Talltail meowed, "Has the camp ever relocted, Stoinekit?" She wanted to know if they were still heading in the right direction.

Frostfox lifted his nose to the air. The powerful scent of WindClan hit him and he coughed.

Talltail looked over at Frostfox, wondering why he coughed. She lifted her nose to the air and she could smell traces of mice, rabbits and the fimiliar scent of Windclan that she was use too. She shruged it off as irrelavent and continued padding along the rolling hills. Then the hills dipped down and she smelt Windclan stronger than ever. It was just how she remembered it, the camp was protected by brambles along the outsides with a winding, twisting tunnel that would lead into the center of camp.
(Continued at Windclan camp for Frostfox, Stonekit and myself.)
