Shimmer and Gregory both blinked in gratefulness when Stormfury spoke out. They looked at the other ShadowClan warriors.
Scorchfire blinked at Stormfury with surprise. "What?"

"Taking prey from kittypets?" Flintclaw looked at Stormfury. "Really?" He asked in shock.

Lionscorch narrowed his eyes at Stormfury. “And you didn’t think to mention that? What if you had not been on this patrol? We could have easily believed them to be Coalpaw’s assulting rouges.” He barked sharply.

"Fuzzy rock?" Shimmer blinked in surprise at what Lionscorch said. She took a step toward him. "Is he alright? Did something happen to him?"

"Fuzzy rock?" Shimmer blinked in surprise at what Lionscorch said. She took a step toward him. "Is he alright? Did something happen to him?" “I don’t see how that’s any of your business.” Lionscorch grunted firmly, only to blink and give a suspicious and confused look. “Fuzzy rock? What in-...How do you know one of our apprentices?”

"Fuzzy rock?" Flintclaw echoed Shimmer. "What in Starclan.. you have Coalpaw tied up in this also?" He looked at Stormfury.

Stormfury glanced around to the patrol. "They offered prey in return. With as much as ShadowClan has needed the prey lately, I wasn't about to turn down the gift." He flinched at Shimmer spoke and he sent her a scathing look. "Coalpaw was on the trip with me." He said. "I made him promise not to tell anyone."

"Fuzzy rock often came around to pick up the prey we left for you shadowy cats." Gregory flicked his tail at the three mice and two sparrows. "He liked to stick around to learn how to catch this kind of prey too. Bright tom, that one." He flattened his ears and looked at Lionscorch. "I'd hate for anything to happen to him."

Lionscorch shot a sharp look at Stormfury. “Are you rat-brained? Bringing Coalpaw out here and looping him into this?” His eyes widened with realization suddenly. Why Coalpaw had gotten so many catches. Why Coalpaw was sneaking out of camp, and his desperation to learn moves when Ashrock seemed to be neglecting him.

"Northstar's not gonna be happy to learn this." Flintclaw muttered, lashing his tail. "You let Coalpaw around outsiders? What if they hurt him like those other rogues."

Stormfury glanced at Ashrock. "It wasn't my best idea okay? Ashrock wasn't training Coalpaw so I came out here with him. That's when we ran into Shimmer and Gregory. Coalpaw wouldn't go home, so I came with him." He glanced at his paws and gritted his teeth. "This was awhile ago. I got so caught up in trying to find my place here I wasn't thinking."

Lionscorch took a deep breath. This needed a calmer approach, and the last thing they needed was a quarrel. He looked at Gregory and Shimmer and asked instead. “When was the last time Coalpaw came to get prey from here? Were there any other cats around here?”

"Hmm." Gregory flicked his tail thoughtfully. "It was only a few sunrises ago. He came alone to gather the prey we were dropping off. I did notice some new scents in the area, but I didn't think anything of it. New scents drift around all the time with cats coming and going."

Lionscorch looked at Flintclaw, Stormfury and Scorchfire with sharp and saddened eyes. Coalpaw must have been getting prey, and was attacked. Why didn’t he say anything when he was back at camp?

Stormfury's ears peaked with interest. "Could you recognize those scents if you scented them again?" He asked. Perhaps he could convince the ShadowClan warriors to let the kittypet help their patrol.

"Not with his old nose." Shimmer shook her head in teasing. "Gregory has been in too many places that all scents blend together." She stood up and held her head high. "I could though, I used to be a great tracker before I found my twolegs."
Gregory rolled his eyes in amusement, but nodded in agreement with Shimmer. It was sad, but true, his old nose couldn't distinguish scents like it used too.
Scorchfire remained quiet, listening to the conversation with soft interest. He wasn't disappointed in Stormfury for the young warrior not telling the Clan about this and he was insulted that they had been eating prey caught by kittypets.

“Finding the rouges that attacked our clanmate is of utmost importance.” Lionscorch nodded.

"I don't think we should trust them." Flintclaw spoke. "I say we take them back to Northstar and see what she says."

Stormfury was grateful that the patrol wasn't as angry as he had expected, but he anticipated that he would have more explaining to do back at camp. "Perhaps Shimmer could help us find the rogues." He said

"Flintclaw has a point." Scorchfire looked at each of the warriors in the patrol. "We can't just outwardly trust these cats. We should at least confirm Stormfury's story with Coalpaw."
Shimmer flattened her ears at the suggested of the the shadowy one. "Wait, I don't think going to your camp is a good idea."

Lionscorch looked unsure for a moment, before he swallowed and offered. “Why don’t we get Coalpaw’s story, and in the meantime tell the clan that there are loners and rouges around? If either of you really want to help Coalpaw, you’ll come with us and explain exactly what’s going on.” He eyed Gregory and Shimmer.

Stormfury hissed under his breath. Hopefully these two rabbitbrained kittypets wouldn't reveal Cedarstorm's part in this patrol. He didn't speak up however, not wanting to draw any further attention to himself.

Gregory and Shimmer exchanged a glance with each other, Gregory didn't appear bothered by going to the camp, very used to seeing new places, but SHimmer had to sigh. "Fine...."
Scorchfire nodded curtly. "Then let's get going." He flicked his tail toward the prey. "If that's an offering to ShadowClan, we might as well bring it too."

“We won’t hurt you.” Lionscorch assured, relaxing and letting his neck fur flatten. His eyes grew softer and he looked far more approachable. “We just want to find out what happened and who we can aprehend.”

Shimmer nodded slowly to Lionscorch, standing up to follow the patrol back to camp.
Scorchfire took up the tail end of the patrol, keeping a close eye on Gregory, Shimmer, and Stormfury.

(Heyo!)
Lionscorch swished his tail as he padded alongside the two outsiders. Things were beginning to add up that made the dark tom’s stomach twist with unease.

(After seeing how these guys reacted to Stormfury, I'm kinda scared how they'll react when it was Cedarstorm's idea all along.)
Gregory stuck close to Shimmer as they followed the ShadowClan patrol, the former RiverClan she-cat grew more and more uneasy padding back into the heart of a territory.
Scorchfire remained quiet, tailing the patrol with his own pondering thoughts. He carried to of the mice in his jaws.

(Lion’ll still support Cedar, he’ll just be a bit miffed. To be fair though, Lion’s kept secrets too. His and his mate’s times in the Dark Forest for example XD )
Lionscorch moved to push his way into camp, looking back at Gregory and Shimmer before he mewed. “Keep your fur flat and your stance calm.”

(Lol I'm interested in seeing how it goes.)
Gregory glanced at Shimmer, he didn't appear at all bothered by walking the territory. It was Shimmer that had bad memories about the Clan, not him. The two followed the patrol into camp, Gregory even yawned when they entered, Shimmer sticking close to his side.
Scorchfire still stayed near the two trespassers.
Cedarstorm caught the foreign scent right off the bat. He had been on his way to the leader's den to speak with Northstar; however, when his eyes caught sight of Gregory and Shimmer, he flattened his ears especially when Stormfury came walking through the camp entrance alongside them. What did he do now?! Cedarstorm lashed his tail, quickly padding over to get on top of the situation. "What's going on? Why are these cats here?"
Many of my characters came peeking out of the dens at the new scent that drifted into camp. Tumblepaw flicked his tail in greeting to Gregory, having seen the older tom around twoleggedplace before. Closesky and Cliffheart recognized him as well.
