Moonpaw's heart beat wildly as she raced toward Rootpaw. She emerged from a bush only to stop dead, frozen in horror. Rootpaw had a gash on his flank and was limping heavily. Moonpaw dashed to Rootpaw, eyes wide in shock.
"Rootpaw! Are you ok?" She asked.
"I'm fine, just a scratch on my flank." He replied.
"What attacked you?" Moonpaw asked.
"A fox." Rootpaw replied simply. Moonpaw studied the scratches as they walked back to camp.
Those don't look like fox scratches.. Thought Moonpaw, they look more like.. Rootpaw interrupted her thoughts.
"We're here." He said as they emerged into the clearing. Moonpaw dropped Rootpaw off the the medicine cat's den and told Silverstar what happened
"He said a fox attacked him." Moonpaw finished. Silverstar nodded and went to check on Rootpaw. Moonpaw went over to the fresh-kill pile, and the scent of fish was almost overwhelming. She grabbed a fish from the pile and padded over to Dovepaw.
"Hey Dovepaw." Moonpaw mewed with a mouth full of fish.
"Hey, Moonpaw. I hope Rootpaw's ok, the fox got him good!" Moonpaw blinked at Dovepaw.
"Those weren't fox scratches," Moonpaw mewed, "Their from a cat."
