[center] Felix was abruptly awoken by a paw jabbing him in his side. Otis' large brown frame was standing over him hissing something with a sense of urgency. He shook out his fur and got to his paws, sleepily making eye contact with Otis. [color=B22222][b]"Is their leader back?"[/b][/color] He pricked his ears forward towards the entrance of the den and he could hear the excited chatter of the cats in the center of camp. Glancing over his shoulder, Heather was still asleep, and he wasn't sure if there was a reason to wake her yet. Otis crept up towards the brambles at the front of the den and peered through a small gap, and Felix stood right behind him, trying to see whatever he could. As he was fixing his gaze on the calico she-cat sitting on the Highstump, Otis spoke. [color=A0522D][b]"Their medicine cat came bursting into camp yowling about his herb store and scared everyone's fur off. The she-cat came through the camp entrance a few heartbeats after he did and called a meeting straight away. I woke you as soon as I saw her."[/b][/color] Felix nosed Otis out of the way so he could get a better look through the gap. He saw a large brown tom with thick fur sitting next to a small black and orange she-cat who looked like she was barely more than a kit. [color=B22222][i]She must be a brand new apprentice.[/i][/color] He noticed again the large orange tom sitting towards the back of the crowd with another cream and black speckled tom. [color=B22222][i]They don't have many Warriors but the ones they do have look strong.[/i][/color] He glanced upwards at the she-cat sitting on the Highstump and realized she was looking directly at Duskwing who had been guarding the entrance to the den they were sleeping in. He couldn't quite make out what she had said, but he was genuinely stunned by how confident and sure of herself their leader appeared to be. He flicked his ears and gathering his thoughts, he rose to his paws and padded towards Heather. She needed to be awake for this.[/center]
[center] As he crouched in front of her sleeping form, he was tempted to pass a lick over her ear to wake her, but instead, he gently laid his paw on her flank and rocked her back and forth. Her ears twitched as she woke and Felix got a glimpse of her beautiful icy eyes. [color=B22222][b]"Wake up. Their leader is back and she's called a Clan meeting. We need to know what this is about."[/b][/color] As she sat up and stretched, Felix flinched as he noticed how hungry he was. He wondered if he could sneak out of camp to hunt something down. . .[/center]
