Herbfeather trudged up the slope, with many cuts. What does a she-cat have to do to find simple cobwebs out here? She froze. She got mesmerized every time she saw the entrance to the Crystal Cave. She applied some cobwebs to her wound. She waited for the other medicine cats. Suddenly, her eyes glazed over. She was still trying to process what her sister, Mintblossom, told her after the Gathering. How can she have kits coming? She is the deputy. She has to put her clan first! Anger flared through her. She has broken the warrior code! How can she fall for a medicine cat? Her heart softened. No. Mintblossom is loyal to her clan. It's not her fault she loves a medicine cat.

Stormcloud walked up the long path to the cave in the hills. He had left camp early today, making sure he would reach the meeting in time this time around. As he reached the top, he could see Herbfeather's bright pelt in the growing darkness.
"Good evening," he meowed as he trotted up to her. "How is the prey running in Stormclan?" He didn't want to put any focus on his relationship with Mintblossom right now, knowing that Herbfeather would have talked to her sister recently. He hoped the others would show up soon so she wouldn't get a chance to question him.

"Prey is running well, but they will start to diminish soon, as Leaf-Fall is coming." She turned to him and whispered, "Also, Mintblossom told me that she is going to have your kits. Tonight, I will search the stars for advice." She added, "You know, my sister is very loyal. She told me she might bring her kits to me if any trouble rises."

Stormcloud nodded. "I think that would be a wise desition, even if that would mean my kits would grow up in a distant clan. But I'm even ready to leave Sunclan for them and her if I have to." It felt strange to talk about this terrible secret with a cat from an enemy clan, but he knew Mintblossom trusted her completely and that was good enough for him.
"Maybe we should go," he said as he noticed how dark the sky had become, and still no other cat had shown up. "I don't think we can wait much longer now."

Swiftheart walked up to the Crystal cave "Are we staring now?" he hoped he wasn't interrupting anything. Swiftheart looked around it didn't look like anyone else was coming.

"Yeah, we were just getting ready to go," Stormcloud answered as the black and white cat arived. He padded to the cave entrance and tested the air before entering the darkness.
He wondered how Starclan would react to him breaking the code like this, but there was no going back now. He settled down in a nice spot, but remained awake for a while longer, fighting his troubled emotions.
