Burned Trees (Book Two Moonlight)

Chapter 1

  Windpool shivered with fear. Where did the clan go? "Windpool and Dustpelt, you stay here" Stormchaser, her father ordered padding into the camp with Skinnypelt. She nodded and scrunched her nose to her face. A horrid stench of crow-food flooded her nose. Her ears drooped and her eyes widened as she knew what it was. A fox. "Run!" Stormchaser yowled. Windpool stood there still frozen with fear. "Run!" he yowled once more, pushing her with his muzzle. Windpool picked up her feet and ran. Looking back, she saw Dustpelt beside her and Skinnypelt and Stormchaser bringing up the rear. A Orange and red shape loomed behind them, its mouth gaping open. A cat jumped in front of her. It was Rosestar. "Follow me!" she yowled to the cats. Windpool nodded, and followed. She circled around trees and headed for treelap, a huge oak tree that loomed over a sandy area. Once they reached the sand they stopped, skidding on the ground. The fox had disappeared into the trees while they had ran. Cats were huddled on the sand, as well as a patrol leaving. "Later today we are going to send a patrol to go and find the fox to lead it out of the camp" Rosestar meowed. Windpool nodded and padded to where a couple warriors huddled. Dustpelt followed carrying a rabbit in his mouth. "Wanna share?" he asked love in his eyes. She nodded, purring with affection. She had never thought that she would fall in love, but she had. She took bite into the rabbit that he had brung ad tasted the delicious taste of meat. When she had finished she licked the scraps off her lips. Rosestar called some cats and they all padded with her to chase out the fox. Yawning, she and Dustpelt padded to the warriors area. She lay down and tucked her paws under her head. "Goodnight Dustpelt" she whispered.
