let's get on a bus and never look back[CLOSED]

Call it fate, call it Starclan intervention, call it a coincidence, but Delta's life had gotten better since she met Salmonpaw. Sans had gotten better, Delta had fed herself well, and she felt almost okay with not seeing as many cats. Of course, Sans had also disappeared mysteriously, but she chose to believe that he would be back. She hid behind a bush on her side of the border, and, scenting Salmonpaw, leapt up to nuzzle him. "Sam! How are you?" She asked, that feeling resparking in her heart every time she saw him.

"My tiny tree!" Salmonburn called out, purring loudly and rubbing his face against Delta's. He had earned his name, but the distrust of Torrentstar still stung like claws at every waking moment. "I got my warrior name! Salmonburn." His excitement was clear, but it died down. "But I've had enough, Delta. Torrentstar hates me, and I can't stand living without you in the clan. There's no way Torrentstar will let us live in love together... Delta, let's go to ShadowClan together. Run away, like you said the first time we met." For the first time since they met, Salmonburn's tone was dead serious. This was not a quick decision. He hated it here. He hated his name. And he wanted Delta.

"Really? That's great!" Her face went from happy to surprised. Run away? To Shadowclan? Oh, to be in a Clan again... with the security of a Leader and a medicine cat... and she could wake up every day with Salmonburn next to her rather than a bundle of hay. She had to admit, it was a lonely and harsh world outside the Code. "Yeah! Let's go! Scorchstar is bound to accept us." She hoped.
