Eel ran.

He ran until he felt like his lungs were on fire, until his legs gave out. And then when he managed to get his breath back, regain the feeling in his limbs, he started running again. He ran until he was far away from the Gloaming Camp, far away from Bumble and that poor kid's cries. For three days he laid low somewhere in the outskirts, and then he made his way to ThunderClan's territory. He ignored the border, crossing right over the scent markers and into the forest.

Truthfully, on the surface, he wasn't quite sure why he was back here. His last visit had been a failed attempt at an infiltration, and he owed these cats absolutely nothing... but somewhere, claws raked at his heart. He couldn't let Bumble reach these cats. He did not like the Clans, did not like their way of life, but he would not allow that walking devil to lay a claw on the children he knew resided here. Because he knew Bumble wouldn't care; in fact, he was certain that the cat would relish in the carnage.

Once he was well into the territory he slowed his pace down, folded ears perked forward as much as possible as he wandered aimlessly, straining to catch sight, smell, or sound of any cats who happened to be passing by. He came with a warning, and hopefully would be able to lend himself to the fight if it came down to it.
