Hawkwing's Journey/Chapter 13

Chapter Summary
Hawkwing's PoV
 * Dew gleams on the grass, soaking Hawkwing's tabby pelt as he brushes past it. He follows Waspwhisker, a SkyClan senior warrior, and his patrol. Pale light seeps through the tree branch, ragged scraps of mist floating through the air. The tabby tom recalls how Leafstar had given Sharpclaw orders to patrol the territory closely, and borders expanded. Hawkwing assumes his leader believes the raccoons will be frightened by a new barrier. However, he isn't as confident as the SkyClan leader. Waspwhisker takes the lead, Darktail, Bellapaw, and Sparrowpelt follow alongside Hawkwing.


 * The dark gray tom realizes that the patrol leader is in a bad mood, and Waspwhisker is taking it out on Darktail. Hawkwing watches as the senior warrior snaps at the white rogue, remarking about his paw steps. Darktail apologizes, looking at his feet, making an effort to be quieter. The gray and white tom only narrows his eyes at the black-tailed rogue, but then hisses again when the rogue sneezes. For a moment, Hawkwing wonders if Darktail will retort back, but is amazed when the tom just nods, promising to be quiet. The dark-furred tabby knows he wouldn't be able to handle it if Waspwhisker spoke to him in that manner.
