Skullblaze and Redspider, along with 4 other cats that had enough of Labradoritestar, left SoftClan.
"I got to wait for my warrior ceremony! Ugh!" An apprentice, Midnightpaw, exclaimed. "This is the worst day ever!" Midnightpaw lowered her ears.
"Why did you come with, then?" Lightbat, elder of SoftClan, replied.
"Labradoritestar sucks! What if she gave me a lame name!"
"You're concerned about names of all things?" Another cat, Songquiver uttered out.
Skullblaze sighed, dropped his ears. Redspider was leaning against, obviously going to have some trouble walking still..
"Hey, Skullblaze, where are we going anyways?" Lightbat mentioned.
"... I haven't thought about it." Skullblaze replied to the other cat.
"So we're just following you... and you have no clue on where to go?!" They exclaimed.
"..Yep."
"We're dead! We're all dead!!" Midnightpaw complained.
"No we are not! Let's just keep moving!" Skullblaze snapped.

Skullblaze halted as he was on territory he recognizes. SpikeClan.
"Why'd we stop..?" Redspider asked, ears all droopy still.
"Uhm.. we should turn back-"
"FOOD!" Midnightpaw exclaimed, there was a rabbit on the territory. She ran off!
"Midnightpaw! No!" Songquiver chased after her.
"I knew it was a bad idea to bring her along!" Lightbat growled.
Skullblaze, internally, was actually panicking. SpikeClan was pretty hostile with SoftClan cats still, for a.. good reason I suppose. Who knows what they could be doing if they spot them-
A yowl was heard.
"Lightbat, watch Redspider over me." Skullblaze commanded and ran off before the other cat could say a word.

"Give me a good fucking reason on why I should not slit her throat right now!" A orange spotted molly, Tangerinecurl, snarled. She had pinned down Midnightpaw. Songquiver didn't know what to do, or what to say.
Skullblaze had made it time. Tangerinecurl noticed Skullblaze, and her expression went more furious.
"You!" Her eyes looked at the tom with fury.
"Let her go-"
"You are the reason my father died! Your clan is the reason why my brother died! Why should I give mercy to this apprentice!?"
"Listen, we left SoftClan and no longer serve-" Skullblaze was quickly interrupted.
"Oh!? You think leaving SoftClan and apologizing is going to me forgive you? That's not going to bring back all the cats your clan has killed!"
Skullblaze lowered his ears, she was right.
"What is going on here?!" Wavebell moved the grass away. Her eyes widened from seeing Skullblaze.
"... Is SoftClan starting another invasion with us?" Her guard has risen.
"No!" Songquiver interrupted Skullblaze before he was about to speak. "We're.. seeking refuge! We left SoftClan because of the harsh treatment we were getting on our end." Songquiver attempted to explain.
"And.. why should we trust you?" Wavebell cautiously asked.
"We have a elder and injured tom with us. I don't care what you would do with me." Skullblaze spoke up. "Please. Please let everyone else in." He pleaded.
Wavebell sighed, clearly.. thinking.
".. Very.. well then." She ultimately replied. Tangerinecurl was caught off guard.
"Ma! You seriously can't let the murderers into our clan! What if they are here to lower our guards!" Tangerinecurl replied with highly serious tone.
"You have every right reason to suspect that, which is why we'll put supervision on this group.. for now."
Skullblaze felt.. some relief hearing this. Redspider will get a chance of living, and that's all he was concerned about.
Skullblaze, Redspider, Midnightpaw, Songquiver, and Lightbat joined SpikeClan.
