★OPEN★~secrets~★OPEN★

Specklestar's heart pounded as she approached camp, several questions rang in her mind, have they have been looking for her?  Did anyone see her? Would they scent AquaClan on her fur?

She paused at the entrance to poke her head into camp, scanning the clearing with her ice blue eyes she could see nothing but grass and trees.  The only sound to be heard was the rustling in the trees and the quiet snores of her Clan as they slept.  After a long hesitation Specklestar decided it was safe to enter.

Phew, she sighed.  Her secret was safe for now, but how would the secret be kept? How long would it be before they started to get suspicious on where their leader was heading so often?  Right now she didn't care, all she wanted to do was sleep off todays events and hopefully in the morning she could make better sense of what to do.

I love you. she glanced into the starry sky before slipping through the darkness and back into the leaders den, where she curled up and drifted to sleep.

Shadowherb padded out of his den and looked at his leader, and rolled his eyes 'maybe she is just a bit sad and wanted to take a walk' he thought. He walked back into his den and fell asleep.

Specklestar's heart skipped a beat when Shadowherb had noticed her, has she found out? she wondered with a pang of horror. When he went back into his den Specklestar let out a sigh of relief.

Featherfern padded up to Specklestar. "Hey. Patroling? Nice. I'm gonna send out a hunting group, do you mind if I go?"

"Ugh, yeah..." Specklestar gulped "sure you can go, I'll be fine here."

Featherfern nodded and padded away.

Shadowherb woke up and came out of his den

Shadowherb padded out of his den again
