Dreamseeker smiled softly at the next few words. Her heart was beginning to slow down, and no longer did she tremble in worry. "I promise I won't. And I promise I won't break that promise!" she told him as seriously as she could, no matter how silly it sounded. Her smile faded a little bit as the two separated, however. Now she had to go and tell the rest. She didn't have to worry much about Jaguar and Aardwolf. They were the freshest additions to their group, and would probably just gawk in amazement rather than deem her untrustworthy. As the two pushed their way through the damp forest, Dreamseeker was surprised to see that Skua was still awake. Even Jaguar's eyes, bright in the night, fluttered open from where her head lay on the ground.
"You're back. I thought you'd gotten lost. Not that I'd care," Jaguar's long tail flicked.
Skua's square jaw set. "You two were gone for a while."
Dreamseeker was quiet for a few moments. Once again, worry started to bubble up. There went Skua, staring at her with those serious looking amber eyes and his muzzle slightly wrinkled. But now, after having confessed to Eclipse, she raised her head and steeled her face. "I have something important to say."
Jaguar let out a long, wide-mouthed yawn. Her fangs glinted in the half-light. "Oh?"
She turned to look at everyone as seriously as she could. Another few, painful moments passed before she suddenly sucked in a breath.
"I can read minds!" she let out in an all-too-loud voices that even made Jaguar flinch.
"Uhhh... wow." the RainWing pawed at an ear. "No one warned me that we had a dragon with cotton for brains in our midst."
"I'm telling the truth. You've all heard the tales about NightWings being able to read minds and tell the future and cast magic? Well, they're all true-- I can only read minds, though." Dreamseeker added on as quick as she could. Her heart was racing even faster now that Skua and Jaguar were looking at her as if she had two heads.
Skua turned to Eclipse, then to her, then back to Eclipse again. A strange light had come across his face. "That was why you killed that SandWing so easily back near the border," he mumbled. "You read his mind!"
"Ye-yes, I--"
Suddenly, the hybrid's calm demeanor had broken. His wings flared as he leapt upon her smaller frame, pinning her down onto the wet ground with little effort. Dreamseeker tried to cry out in surprise, but her voice came out as a tiny yelp as a set of serrated claws clamped around her throat.
Skua's maw let out particles of frost. "You've lied to us all of this time! You've probably read our minds while you traveled with us, even!" his voice was dangerously low. "You've betrayed us!"
