"Patrolling" the border

[holidaychild]

Eaglewing padded up to the border between SunsetClan and LeafClan. He sniffed the air, and not for other clan warriors-for his own clanmates. He went to his favorite hiding place. It was a large bush. It was very leafy on the outside but hollow inside. There was also foxdung, which covered his scent. He crawled inside and watched the border through a patch in the leaves. He was watching for the one thing he desired most-his daughter. She was Fawntail of LeafClan. She wasn't even aware that he was her father. He remembered it all. His second mate was a rouge cat who joined SunsetClan. He loved her. However, she strongly disagreed with some of her new leader's views. She eventually took drastic measures and was exiled from the clan. She then left to join LeafClan, where Fawntail was born. He longed to see her face-to-face. "Fawntail, please be on a patrol," he whispered into the wind.

A few things gapped at once. First, Wavepaw and her uncle, Goldenbreeze, padded,lightly up to the border on the SunsetClan side. "Hello Eaglewing!" Wavepaw meowed cheerily, Goldbreeze dipping his head in greeting with a kind smile. "Are you guarding the border? Is LeafClan attacking?" Wavepaw meowed wide-eyed, jumping back from the border where a slim tabby had appeared. For the second thing was that Falconfrost had been taking a walk near the border.

"Um, no, LeafClan isn't attcking," he muttered quickly. He tried to think of a quick reason for why he would be over at the border. "I scented LeafClan on our side of the border. I think they are stealing our prey," he improvised. He quickly realized his mistake. His clanmates would report to their leader and their clan would attack LeafClan! "Wait, no, don't attack them. I realize now that I'm wrong," he added quickly. Eaglewing gave up. "I can't lie to you," he told them gently. "Remember that rouge that was my mate? Well, she had a kit. Fawntail. She's in LeafClan. I don't know what to do! She's my kit and I can't see her. She doesn't even know that I exist!" he exclaimed, depressed.

Now the two warriors shared Wavepaw's eyes, wide and startled. However, at the name Fawntail, Falconfrost made a choking sound. Regaining himself, still looking flustered he meowed. "I know her." Goldenbreeze and Wavepaw reacted differently. Wavepaw, still looking at the LeafClan warrior, meowed "You had a mate that was a rogue? Isn't that bad?" Goldenbreeze bent down as whispered into Wavepaw's ear, explaining things to the little apprentice, before sending her back to camp with orders to tell no one. Glancing at Falconfrost he raised en eyebrow. "You know Eaglewing's daughter?" Falconfrost, despite being of another can, nodded, somewhat at ease because there as a shared goal between Goldenbreeze and him - to console Eaglewing. "She saved my life, actually." The young tom admitted. Goldenbreeze nodded in return padding over to Eaglewing. "I don't really thing there's much we can do..." He started to meow before his eyes went wide with an idea. "Hey! LeafClan cat!" He meowed. "Falconfrost." The warrior mumbled, though it was ignored. "You could get his daughter and bring her over here!"

Eaglewing wanted so desperately to meet his daughter. "Ok," he meowed slowly. "I want to see her. After that, I can't see her anymore. I just want to meet her once," he replied hopefully. This was his dream! "Will you report me?" he asked Goldenbreeze suddenly.

Goldenbreeze seemed happy, however Falconfrost did not share his enthusiasm. However, the LeafClanner remained silent. "Of course I won't turn you in! If I had a daughter in another clan, I'd do anything to see her. Heck, if Wavepaw was in another clan, I'd go to huge extents to see her. And she's only my niece!" Then the warrior noticed Falconfrost's silence. "What's the problem, LeafClanner? Are you really going to keep a father from his daughter?" Falconfrost shuffled uncomfortably. "All things aside, you guys are in another clan. I could get in a lot of trouble for pulling her out here into possible danger. I mean, I'm a good fighter but it's dangerous and my clan must come first." He meowed, looking at his paws. Goldenbreeze growled. "You said you know his daughter! You really think she wouldn't want to know who her father is? Are you really gonna do that to her?" Falconfrost's eyes went wide. "I wouldn't do anything that would hurt her!" Goldenbreeze walked right up to the border. "Then you will go and bring her here so that she can meet her father." Falconfrost glanced between the SunsetClanners, then turned and fled back into LeafClan territory. He didn't trust these cats, but he wasn't about to make Fawntail's choices for her.

(Should we have them come back in the next post or have a separate thread for that?)

(OOC-Let's make a new thread. I'll add one in LeafClan and In SunsetClan and we will just copy our posts into both threads.)

Eaglewing was so excited. He was going to meet his daughter! However, he was concerned with how forceful Goldenbreeze spoke to the LeafClan warrior. "Goldenbreeze, why were you so forceful with that poor warrior? Maybe if we handled that more gently, he would be more likely to bring my daughter!" he accidentally snapped. "Oh, Goldenbreeze, I didn't mean to snap at you. I just have really mixed emotions at the moment," he explained to his fellow warrior.
