The New Wonders

Ebonypaw yawned and stood up. Ivorypaw was sleeping right next to her. They had been apprentices for a few moons, and would be warriors soon. She nudged Ivorypaw awake.

"Come on. Let's go see Wandernight. She's getting her memory back more and more each day!"

Ivorypaw opened her eyes and looked into Ebonypaw's sightless blue eyes.

"Okay. Come on."

They padded quickly to the leader's den. They both stopped as they heard Fellstar coming out. He sniffed the air and nodded at his kits.

"Why don't you two go hunting. You can have an assessment. See how far you've come. You can check on Wandernight later."

They nodded in unison, and Fellstar flicked his tail for Bayfrost to come over.

"We'll give them a hunting assessment. Do you think Ivorypaw is ready?"

Bayfrost nodded.

"Ya. She's been doing really well."

Fellstar nodded.

"Okay. Let's go."

Fellstar padded out of the camp with his clan members following.

The Waterfall

Ebonypaw padded  out into the forest. It had been a few moons since she had met Finnick, and they had been meeting secretly. She padded quickly, following the path slightly worn down by her. She sniffed the air and smelled Finnick's scent. She started to run and skidded to a stop. Sniffing around. She could smell him strongly, but she didn't know where he was. Suddenly she felt her legs buckle under her as a cat landed on her. She spun around so she was facing him, and even though she couldn't see him, his scent flooded her. She smiled.

"Didn't expect that, did you?"

Ebonypaw shook her head and got up as Finnick stood up.

"Nope, not at all."

Finnick flicked his tail.

"Come on. We're going to explore a bit."

He walked beside Ebonypaw, his tail slightly on her shoulder, guiding her in the unknown territory. As they walked, she started to hear a sound get louder and louder. Then Finnick was leading her up some slippery rocks, and then the noise was piercing. Then, it got quieter again.

"Where are we?"

She sniffed the air, but smelled nothing except dampness.

"We're behind a waterfall. This is my group's territory, except they don't know about it back here."

She padded around the side of the walls, getting a feeling for the shape of the cave. It was large and round, with side caves.

"I love it. It's... soothing back here."

Finnick smiled.

"I found it when I was a kit. I never told anyone."

Ebonypaw flicked her ears to where Finnick was.

"Except me?"

He purred.

"Ya."

She smiled.

"Thank-you."

She padded over to him and pressed her nose into his shoulder.
