She wasn’t sure where she was going. Her paws carried her along the river. Hoping no Riverclanner would see her. Slipping through another territory and finally into lands unclaimed by the clans. Where loners and rogues lived. Sunlight was finally peaking through and the rain had stopped. Hollow Tree wasn’t home but she felt much better.

Many moons ago, before the clans, she had traveled here. A place close to Windclan. Though, she didn’t think many clan cats came here often. Were there any cats here? Hollow Tree sat by herself. What was she to do now? What did life look like outside the clan? She didn’t want to be all alone but maybe it would do her good for a bit. Maybe she would start by finding a place to sleep. Though, she had the rest of the day to do whatever. ""

☀ - WHILST MY HEART STILL BEATS
"Oh fox dung! Too slow..." Sunnyday grumbled the words at himself as the blackbird evaded his claws and soared skyward. Another failed catch, and with less and less prey running it was becoming a desperate situation. There was no clanmate to work with now to help pin prey down, no freshkill pile to pick at on poor days, all he had left were lonely days ahead. Though he was well aware that he would run into the occasional cat, but what he wasn't expecting was to catch the whiff of ThunderClan on the wind.

The tom tensed up as the slither of paranoia threatened to overwhelm him, but it didn't outweigh his sense of curiosity. It was hardly a contest in the end as he decided to investigate further, albeit with a sense of caution. The leggy tom stalked his way closer until he finally had Hollow Tree in his visual range, though he was baffled as to why she was there alone. "You're a long way from home. Are... are you okay?" Sunnyday honestly felt a little stumped about the she-cat's reasoning for being there at all.
