[color=#D1D0CE]The grip on her throat only became tighter, serrated claws beginning to dig into her softer scales. Just as Dreamseeker started to panic even more, she suddenly felt the heavy weight on top of her being knocked away. She rolled onto her side, gasping as she saw the red and black scales in between the IceWing and her. Eclipse had bounded into action in order to save her? Really? She felt her heart flutter with a certain type of emotion, but what was it? Admiration? Gratefulness? No, this was different...

[color=7ea7d8][b]"Fine. Explain, before I lose all of my patience,"[/b][/color] Skua growled. 

Dreamseeker felt the eyes on her again. [color=614051][b]"I'm telling the truth. There was no time to tell you during our travels, especially you, Skua... I wish I could have told you sooner, but too many things kept happening,"[/b][/color] she grunted as she lifted herself to her feet. [color=614051][b]"I promise I won't read any of your minds, on my honor as a NightWing. So please, don't be angry."[/b][/color]

She looked between everyone again, noticing that Jaguar simply shrugged in a nonchalant manner and Skua's brow furrowed. His sharp-toothed snarl dimmed slightly, much to her relief. 

[color=7ea7d8][b]"You better not mess this up, Dreamseeker. The only reason I haven't torn your throat out was because Eclipse trusts you, for whatever reason."[/b][/color]

Dreamseeker blinked as Skua stalked over to one of the taller trees that surrounded their clearing. The moonlight filtered through the trees and made him seem like a silver coin that was lined with fire. [color=614051][b]"I won't disappoint any of you."[/b][/color] The words left her before she realized, but they didn't make her feel embarrassed or unsure. They left her jaw with determination and pride rather than bashfulness. 

[color=7ea7d8][b]"I hope so."[/b][/color] Skua snorted. 

[color=7FFFD4][b]"Can we sleep now?"[/b][/color] Jaguar suddenly spoke up again. [color=7FFFD4][b]"You're all lucky that the RainWings haven't found [i]us[/i] instead of the other way around."[/b][/color]

Dreamseeker nodded slowly. The NightWing walked to an isolated corner of the camp as Jaguar sprawled out on the floor and set her head on her front feet. Picking out the driest spot, Dreamseeker curled into a ball and closed her eyes. Hopefully sleep would come along easily.
