Chapter 13
"Quick! Hurry! We have no time to spare! Our clanmates are in danger, I know it!" Leafwater sped through the forest, Sunpaw and Featherkit hard on her heels. Featherkit had never run so fast before; it felt to her as if a pack of foxes were chasing her. They stopped right on the border, where a StormClan patrol was staring, horrified, at the missing HailClan hunting patrol. The bodies were strewn across the floor, and blood was everywhere. Sunpaw suddenly started to whimper. "No...Riverfur...NO!" He started to wail loudly. Featherkit was terrified. What could've caused this? Leafwater turned on the StormClan patrol. "What did you see?" She demanded. "Did you do this?" "She glared at the patrol. "N..No. We didn't do it, or see anything happen!" "I did. I saw something." A tiny apprentice spoke quietly from the back of the patrol. Everyone turned in surprise to the tiny cat, who ducked in embarrassment. "Go on, tell us what you saw," Leafwater prompted. 'Well, I was on a hunting patrol earlier, and I caught a squirrel close to the border, but I promise I didn't cross the border." Leafwater nodded. "I believe you. We can't smell any of your scent on this side anyways." "So I was walking towards the border because I could see a patch of sunlight to stretch out in, and then I saw some strange cat. It didn't look like a Clan cat, but it didn't look like a rogue either. It did something in the bushes, then it disappeared." They thanked the apprentice, the two patrols aid their farewells, and the StormClan patrol moved off.
