Chapter Fourteen

"We're getting close to their border," Snowsilver announces, "I can smell it."
Jasper smiles for the first time in two days and let's out a breath of air, "good."
"I'm sorry Jasper," Snowsilver sighs, "I should've just let them tell you. You'd take it better from th-"
"Who's there!?" A deep voice calls into the woods.
"Ash, is that you!?" Snowsilver calls.
"Snowkit?" A large gray tom, very fluffy and lean, approaches from his place further in the trees.
"I brought a friend," Snowsilver mews, "this is Jasper."
"Snowkit?" A tortoiseshell she-cat steps put beside Ash.
"Shyanne!" Snowsilver smiles.
"What are you doing here?" Ash asks.
"I came back to see if Silverfur and Honey are still here," Snowsilver explains.
"They're back at camp," Shyanne glances behind her, "they'll be so happy to see you!"
"Can we go now?" Jasper mews impatiently.
Ash glances between Snowsilver and Jasper cautiously.
"He's Silverfur and Honeys younger brother..." Snowsilver trails off.
"Oh..." Ash and Shyanne chorus.
"Yes, we- uh- we can get going," Ash nods briefly then turns and leads the way.
"My name is Snowsilver now, by the way," Snowsilver says proudly as they begin walking.
Shyanne glances over her shoulder with a warm smile, "that's lovely."

"Here we are," Ash gestures toward the entrance with his tail.
Snowsilvers face breaks into a huge smile as Ash begins leading the way into the camp, Shyanne beside him.
"Silverfur, Honey," Ash calls.
"You have a visitor!" Shyanne announces.
Jasper grumbles when they quite obviously only refer to Snowsilver.
As and Shyane move out of the entrance, revealing Snowsilver who had been just behind them. Jasper still lingered in the tunnel.
"Snowkit!?" Silverfur gasps.
Snowsilver sees the smile on her face as he takes another step into the camp.
"Snowkit!?" Honey exits a den quickly.
Her jaw drops as she sees Snowsilver.
"Its Snowsilver now," Snowsilver announces proudly.
Silverfur rushes up to him, brushing her muzzle to his. She is followed by Honey after a moment.
The three take a moment for excited chatter but it's broken off by Jasper clearing his throat in the tunnel.
"Who's there?" Silverfur calls, glancing to Ash who just nods.
"Jasper," he steps out of the tunnel, "I'm your younger brother."
Snowsilver and Honey glance to each other with an uneasy expression.
"Tell me why you left."
