She brought her into the nursing hallow. The place was all of the young and old crows went to get away from the battle. Even though this place was filled with living crows it was quite obvious that this place also had a battle within it. Maybe it was the wood shavings every were, or the claw marks in the wall. Or maybe the feathers and bodies of six crows and one dead raven. The crows all dead were young. They were mostly just hatched; except for one who was an adult who she was more then sure killed the raven. Sawdy said they could stay here for the night. They accepted her offer quickly, not because they were tired and seeking a place but because they needed to help them in a way. Even if it was with cleaning up the bodies.“Auntie who is this?”Clarity’s eyes gazed over to another crow. She was young very young. She was about one month younger then clarity. She was staring at them with hatred in her eyes, as if she did not trust them. As if she thought that they did this to her family of crows. She was acting strong but clarity could tell she wanted to cry. She probably lost so many family members to this battle. . The only ones who survived were no more then 20 of the real family. And the ones who survived were either to young to grasp a sword or to injure to fight. Sawdy may not of been injured but she was the only surviving female that was ready to lay eggs.“Auntie you must not tell them anything. They are ravens can’t you tell?”“ I know dusty but they are not black blood ravens”“You don’t know that. For all you know one of them could be black of blood”It was like she knew, like she saw right through her disguise. She never knew that she was correct. No one could ever know about her secret. The secret that could kill them all if they found out. They would hate her.“ None of us are black of blood. If we were then we would have red eyes would we not”?Nightshade stepped up. He was smiling at her. He seemed to be the least dangerous of them all now. Maybe because he was part crow himself, he just seemed to camouflage with them. He was one of them. His voice calmed her down; she could tell it also calmed down this crow. She seemed to know him.“Shade is that you?”Shade who was this shade. There was no shade with them. Un less, of course nightshade was shade. Hey it was short. She felt a sneer cross her face. He may call her pureness but now she could call him shady.“Yes it is I”“Oh shade it is wonderful to see you again. I missed you”She was pressing her head against his chest. She felt her eyes turn red, what was this feeling she had. She just wanted to ring that little crow’s neck. She was beyond mad and yet she had no idea what she was feeling.“This is my friend dusty. Her mother and my father were cousins”The heat fell. Cousins? That was why she was rubbing her head against his chest.“What are you doing here? Were is your family?”“Father came here to talk to an old friend. I came with. My father I cannot find. My family is back home in the territory.”She saw the tears in sawdies eyes. She walked over to dusty and told her the bad news. Clarity saw the tears now pass over to dusty. Her father was dead.“ You are the auntie here are you not?” asked fox“Yes I take care of little younglings here”She never heard of an auntie in her family. How did fox now about this.“Yes dusty is not my niece. But I was the friend her father came to see.”They all gave a slight nod and walked away. She thought it best to leave nightshade and dusty alone. She still could not quite put her feather on what she felt when dusty was rubbing her head against nightshade.She stopped to stare at all the young crows. They were too young and they were all crying. Some did look hurt. Others on were crying from the pain of others.“We must be leaving soon. Tomorrow we will go. We need to go find the black blood ravens. I must find them”Nightshade was standing right in front of her but was not looking at her. The last four words he spat out with hatred. Would he hate her to if he knew her secret?They whereon there way again. But this time they had a new recruit. It was nightshades cousin dusty. She had to come she said. her father was dead and she needed to do go tell her mother . She was acting strong right now but every one knew deep down that she was feeling weak. Every one was feeling weak. They were at a new destination now. They were going to go bring dusty back home. This was not part of the plan. The felt a shift in the wind. It was telling her something.“listen……they are close…….get away now…….there talons sharp……bodies flying away…black feather falling……friends captured….secrets told……grey friend……don’t go that way”there was more then one voice. They were all telling her something she did not whant to hear. She stared straight a few minutes. She had to tell nightshade. Flying up a bit, she cryed out as she felt talons rake her back. It was them, she saw beady red eyes staring down at her. her back was on fire. She saw her friends, they were also being attacked. She saw him. the one called pyro.his eyes were in astonishment“you. I thought I killed you years ago. You black blood raven was suppose to die”she watched as dusty was carried off. A flash of grey on four legs came running through. That was when she blacked out.</blockquote>
