Nightfur hopped onto Kioni's back, gripping on, but trying not to hurt him. He took off, and soared into the sky, high above the canopy. She closed her eyes, the wind rippling through her fur, tickling her slightly. She smiled blissfully, and opened up her mind to the trees below. Their whispers were much easier to hear up here, and there were more of them to hear. The bustle of trees talking about the rain and minerals in the soil comforted her. Even though there was enough voices in her head equal to the two clans 10 times over, they weren't noisy at all. She felt Kioni's wings beating and his muscles flexing underneath her, and his mottled fur rippling. She smiled, feeling his warmth.Why do I always feel like this when I'm around him I think of him? She was puzzled still, confused by everything happening at the moment. She sighed, and let all her worries float away with the wind. Letting herself go, she smiled again, and opened her eyes to see that Kioni was landing.
Nightfur lightly jumped off of Kioni, landing on ground again. She almost fell over from the sudden change, but soon regained her balance. She turned around and smiled at Kioni, her eyes flashing with joy. "Thanks Kioni, I had a lot of fun these past two days." She grinned at him and he grinned back. "Um... About back there... I sh-should have moved out of the way, I'm sorry." Nightfur's muzzle went red, and she looked down at the ground, avoiding awkward eye contact. She did eventually look up though, and smiled. "Anyways, goodbye Kioni." She paused for a moment and walked slowly back to her camp. She looked back over her shoulder, and smiled softly, before going through the bracken tunnel that was the entrance to her home.
As soon as she entered, Snowpaw was right in her face, scowling. "Do you know how worried I was?" He frowned, his ears flat against his head. Nightfur scowled back. "Well maybe I did, or maybe I didn't!" She hissed and put her tail straight, her hair bushing up. "I was perfectly safe anyway! And why are you so bothered?! Is it because you're the one that picked me up and brought me back?! WHY EVEN BOTHER?!"She yowled and hissed at him "I was apparently almost certainly dead, but you brought me back?! Why bother?!" Nightfur scowled and Snowpaw finally snapped. "BECAUSE I'M YOUR DAD!"
Nightfur took a step back in shock, and her mouthed gaped open. She shook her head in disbelief. "That's not true.. It's not possible." Snopaw nodded, scowling slightly. "I'm your dad. Your mother used to belong to this clan after escaping her cruel owner, and we were mates. She was pregnant with a litter, and we were going to be parents. But one day me and your mother were walking in the forest when a human came and snatched her. I tried to rescue her but it broke my leg. When others came I said a badger had done it all. I went into the human town when my leg had healed a bit and found your mother and her litter. I saw you, and that's how I knew you were my kit." Snowpaw sighed, a tear rolling down his nose. Nightfur shook her head furiously. No...It can't be... "Ever wondered why I always cared for you most out of the kits? Why I always listened? Why I always healed you first? It's because I cared for my kit the most." "Does anyone else know?" Snowpaw nodded. "The clan leader and elders do. Nightfur was once again overfilled with every emotion possible, and tears burst from her eyes. She sobbed and sprinted out the camp again, and went to the tree Kioni had prepared for her, and cried.
