Dawnstar sat wide awake. Her paws aching. She couldn't afford nor take the chance of closing her eyes. It could be her final time. Foxtail padded in and crouched beside his leader. "Dawnstar?" His voice muttered and then trailed.
Dawnstar flicked her tail up and looked into his eyes. "Yes?" She responded before blinking deeply.
"I'm sorry to disturb you." He continued.
"Go on." Dawnstar meowed, flicking her tail down.
"There are more twolegs than we expected." His voice croaked.
Dawnstar winced then licked her chest. "Alright." She responded.
"Alright?" He repeated. "It's not alright!" He spat. Foxtail's muscles tightened. He trotted out of the den even before his leader had dismissed him. Dawnstar's eyes turned cold. Her fur was matted and torn. She was losing herself.
Foxtail appeared in the medicine cat's den. He peeked inside and called. "Windtail? Petalpaw?" It was Petalpaw who stepped foward. She bowed her head and hummed.
"What can I help you with?" She asked, her left eye twitching.
"It's Dawnstar." Foxtail retorted, taking in all her annoyance.
Petalpaw sighed. "I'm not annoyed at you. It's..Windtail. He's been out since dawn. He hasn't returned. He was just collecting herbs." Petalpaw's eyes grew wide with fear.
"I'm sure he's alright. I'll send out a patrol to search for him." Foxtail bowed his head and slinked out of the den.
"I need Darkfrost and Fireflaw." He commanded. The cats walked towards their deputy. "You're going on patrol in search of our medicine cat; Windtail." Both cats looked at each other then nodded, flicking up their tails. The cats bounded out of the clan to search for Windtail.
