A Shadow In The Sky {Closed}

Olivelily padded beside Cedarstorm as they went on through their territory. Every step pulling them closer to their border with SkyClan. She knew many of their skirmishes happened at Highpine, but it was a fairly good place to hunt. As long as they stayed on their territory and a patrol of haughty SkyClanners didn't show up, they'd be just fine.

The brown-furred she-cat followed her clanmate to the Highpine. This was supposed to be a regular border patrol but Cedarstorm didn’t trust in SkyClanners too much after the fight she had here against an apprentice. Her blue eyes glanced at the other side, suspiciously. If a cat was going to trespass the border, she would make sure to teach them a lesson.

Despite the late evening hour, several SkyClan patrol's were finally wrapping up a day's work in the form of quickly checking all of the important borders. At the head of the tiny party was Elmcloud, who was padding alongside Swiftpaw, while the two mindlessly broed out during their duties. As they approached the Highpine, he was a tad bit surprised to see that they had overlapped with another ShadowClan patrol, but it hardly stopped him from lazily swaggering up directly up to Olivelily and Cedarstorm.

At the sight of the two ShadowClanners, the young tom's head cocked for several brief heartbeats as he continued to gaze at them with curious eyes- before something finally clicked within his mind."My, my, my," Elmcloud finally drawled, the usual infuriating smugness twisting his handsome face into a coy simper, "I almost didn't recognize you without that signature face-full of mud you seem to love so much." The last part of his jibe was thrown directly in Cedarstorm's face, a sharp grin punctuating the taunt.
