Willowshine's POV

We were back in the main cave we (Except for Tigerheart and Dovepaw) had landed in, exhausted from searching for an exit. We could tell it was night because we could just barely see Silverpelt glittering sky-lengths above. I slept to Jayfeather's left, with Cinderheart on my left, Lionblaze on her left, Tigerheart on his left, and Dovepaw marking the end at Tigerheart's left.

"Cinderheart?" I meowed softly, not knowing if anyone was awake besides Jayfeather and me. I bat my paws in the air as Jayfeather groomed himself. I could tell that we were both yearning to walk through the caves again.

"Mrrrrp," She purred, her nose protectively stuffed into Lionblaze's back fur. I stifled laughter.

"Are you still jealous of her?" Jayfeather turned towards us, blind blue eyes glittering in amusement.

"Yeah, I noticed you being protective too." I my fur warmed slightly at the awkward sensation of being oddly nestled in Jayfeather's belly fur, but I calmed down, telling myself that every cat needed the warmth.

"Jealous of who?" Cinderheart turned her nose toward us slightly; she was probably embarrassed and wanted us to stop teasing.

"Heathertail," I mrrowed, ignoring Cinderheart's glare.

"I just…" Cinderheart stuttered. Jayfeather shook his head.

"Everyone knows you'll carry his kits one day. There's nothing to worry about. Even the elders back in our clan have noticed. Besides, Lionblaze isn't so stupid that he'll just turn away." Cinderheart and I both looked up, surprised, which resulted in an even more 'cozy' position for me.

"You guys know I'm awake, right?" Lionblaze turned. "Don't worry about it Cinderheart." Even Dovepaw and Tigerheart were laughing.

"You guys are so… deaf?" Dovepaw looked at Jayfeather, who just nodded. "Sorry, didn't want to say blind."

The Next Morning:

(Still Willowshine)

I got up, stretching my newly-healed paw. Everyone was still quietly sleeping in a row, so I turned back around, thinking that I might find some herbs or moles we could eat.

"Willowshine." Apparently, I had over-looked Jayfeather. He leapt up, padding towards me. "I'll come with you."

"Well, you didn't have to invade my personal thoughts…" I said, yawning at the end. As we walked, I thought about last night. Jayfeather hadn't had any problem with sleeping so close, and neither had I. It scared me that I was breaking the code on so many ways. I was getting closer to cats from different Clans, and I hadn't even been to my own Clan for a while now. I shivered, glancing at Jayfeather as cool air from the early morning sky drifted into the tunnels. He brushed my flank with his tail.

"Let's hurry. It might rain, and if it does we'll have to wake up the others and move to another shelter," Jayfeather meowed, his pace quickening. As I streaked beside him, I breathed in deeply with my nose, smelling the moisture in the air. At least we had water, now. I gasped as suddenly, a bright flash made me skid to a halt. Jayfeather sucked in a breath. "Spottedleaf?"

The said she-cat cleared the space before us in one leap, and I saw stars glitter in her dappled fur.

"Jayfeather, Willowshine." We bowed our heads, but Spottedleaf wasn't done. "To leave the tunnels, you must admit, believe, and then seek." In another blinding flash, she was gone.

Tigerheart's POV

I snuggled into Dovepaw's fur, flattening my ears as wetness soaked my pelt. I stood up, shaking myself. Jayfeather and Willowshine had just returned with enough bites of prey for everyone, and I prodded Dovepaw awake and nodded to them thankfully. Jayfeather cleared his throat, and his normally grumpy meow was filled with confusion.

"I think we've received a prophecy about getting out." Every cat looked at Willowshine and Jayfeather for more. "It was, 'To leave the tunnels, you must admit, believe, and then seek.' Spottedleaf didn't tell us what to admit and believe. I'm starting think we would be seeking the exit in the end," He finished and we nodded.

"Well it smells like rain," Lionblaze mewed, jumping up.

"Come on," I yowled as I raced through the exit. It was going to be a long imprisonment.
