silvertongue t1 // UNDER THEIR NOSE IS BEING USED FOR THIS THREAD, THEREFORE DARKPAW SHOULD NOT BE CAUGHT SNEAKING OUT

Failure. Disappointment. He didn’t know what he was planning on doing, he just knew he had to get out. It was a suffocating feeling really. Just in case…just in case he didn’t come back, the dark apprentice slipped into the nursery, touching a nose to Bats and his kits. A shame he wouldn’t get to see his nieces and nephews grow, really. And the amazing father BlackberryBat would become. But he couldn’t. He just couldn’t. So, now the time came. DarkPaw found a small area to sneak out if, avoiding the main camp exit.

Already, a few tail lengths into the territory, he could breathe better. Of course, nothing was really healed, it was just a small moment of relief.

DarkPaw was losing track of how far he had traveled until he vaguely recognized the outside border. Right there…in a paws reach. Yes, possibly a life of hardships and loneliness, but it was a place he wasn’t confined by his shame. It was a place where Eves was wandering and he had the chance to find her. And if he turned back-what was that a life of? That…was a life of feeling like a disappointment, constantly fearing ridicule.

Stars, what did he do?

They wanted to go back. Or... Well, they didn't want to go back, but something told them they needed to. They were going to be a promising warrior of ShadowClan, not some outcast! They still had training to complete... Friends to make... And Darkpaw waiting for them back at camp. And so Eveningpaw lingered near the border, debating whether to cross it or wait for someone.

Then they heard it. Pawsteps. Getting closer. And a familiar scent of ShadowClan. Their ears perked up, and their eyes began searching for whoever it may be. And that was when they saw the familiar dark pelt, and deep blue eyes.

"Darkpaw?!" Eveningpaw exclaimed, a little louder than intended. Stars, he looked almost done with everything. "Dark- Darkpaw! You okay? W-What's happening? Are you alone? Is anyone with you..?" Oops. Perhaps a bit too many questions for someone who looked like they just escaped hell.
