Deep breath in. Deep breath out.

All Gracklepaw had thought about while cooped up in the Twoleg cages was this moment. The moment in which he would speak to Dawnstar and request to rejoin the Clan he'd grown to cherish.

It's funny how the time changes. Last time he'd stood here he'd been young and starry eyed, with a head full of fantasies of the Clans and being a powerful warrior. He's been naive and anxious, overthinking everything as he rambled on and practically begged Dawnstar to take him in. He cringed a bit at the thought. It was a little embarrassing to reminisce on. But Dawnstar had seen something in him and allowed him to join ShadowClan. And his life changed after that. He'd learned so much during his time in the Clan, but he still needed so much more training. There was an overwhelming feeling of frustration that he held towards his younger self and the way that he'd began to take his place in the Clan for granted. He still trained, sure, but not as hard as some of the others did. And being captured was the catalyst for this realization.

When he returned to ShadowClan, he vowed to himself that he'd work harder and claw his way up to warriorhood. Hell... Magpiepaw was probably already a warrior! She'd totally rub it in his face too. And his pride couldn't take that kind of slander. So, he waited by the border as a gentle breeze grazed his black pelt. The border marker was pretty fresh, though it probably hadn't been marked since the morning due to the smell. He wondered when a patrol would come by. Would they even recognize him?
