[Empress Of Evil]

The ebony she-cat walked at the head of the patrol, eyes and ears alert for any signs of danger. They were walking into possibly dangerous territory. She didn’t know where they were going, they were just exploring the place as they went. The atmosphere here was cold and chilling. She didn’t like it. This was place wasn’t vibrant and bright like SkyClan’s territory. This place was dark and if wasn’t a hard feat to spot a shrivelled up plant. With nervousness flickering in her icy gaze, she turned her head back to check that her patrol was still with her and nothing had happened to any of them. Shinefang, Kestrelshade and Smogheart were all there, safe and sound. It had originally been Grousestar’s idea for this herb collecting patrol, but in his ill state, it probably wouldn’t have been the best option for him to come along. So instead, Auroraflame had gone. Had it not been for Grousestar’s sickness, she wouldn’t have to be here and honestly she wasn’t sure if she wanted to be here. It had nothing to do with the unfamiliar territory that they were walking into, and it had nothing to do with who was in her patrol. Well actually, it did have a lot to do with who was in her patrol. Kestrelshade and Smogheart were fine, she didn’t mind them and thought that it would be fun to patrol with them, her only problem was Shinefang. In all honestly, she didn’t get along very well with the medicine cat and he probably didn’t like her very much either. Their last interaction hadn’t been a pleasant one and here they were, having to work together. It was bound to happen eventually but she hadn’t been hoping that it would be this soon.

Pushing her thoughts to the back of her mind, she turned her head back around and focused on where they were. She was mainly on the lookout for enemies, not herbs, which was what they were here for. She wasn’t good at spotting herbs. That was the kind of thing that Shinefang did. “Where do you want to go?” she asked, stopping and turning around to face the rest of the patrol. She was mainly talking to the medicine cat but she was open to opinions from Kestrelshade and Smogheart too.
