( Falconwing Sounds good with me. Also don't want the apprentice's paws to get maimed permanently well that might happen with the wolf... Also I love my child) Riverpaw / Applefure Stealthfire / Tansytail FalconwingRiverpaw heard Tansytail's voice. It rang through her ears but it felt very far and distant. Riverpaw could feel her legs almost fall with every step she took. She managed this far purely on her own stamina. Now all she had left was her instinct and the adrenaline of not dying. Her eyes were barely working in the harsh storm and she was tearing up from the frost and her own fear of death. Riverpaw wanted so badly to be in camp and cuddle back up next to her siblings and mother. What she wouldn't give to be a kit again, what she wouldn't give to still be young and naive, what she wouldn't give to be in camp now.

•◇Darkstride◇• The Pond -> Camp || Volepaw Stealthfire & Wintershadow Blueflame123 Darkstrides heart sank when his apprentice collapsed to the ground. "No! Volepaw" he exclaimed nudging the young cat vigorously. Glancing around he saw a shadow moving in the distance and his amber eyes squinted to make out what it was. Stepping over Volepaw protectively he crouched down covering him up and out of the sight of whatever the approaching creature could be. A growl began to rise in his throat but was quickly stifled when the form before him became a familiar one. "Wintershadow!" He called out loud enough for her to hear. What was she doing out in the storm. Did she get stuck just like they did? It didn't matter, they just needed to make it to camp. Remaining crouched over his apprentice to provide warmth Darkstride waved his tail and called out again. "Quick this way!!! We are almost home!" •¤Thistlepaw¤• Camp || Beechtail Stealthfire It was difficult for Thistlepaw to remain as limp as he did. Every instinct within him screamed for him to move and try to escape, despite the heavy paws being from a trusted friend. Finally she released him and he scraped at her belly with sheathed claws. When it was all over with and Beechtail gave him her praise the tabby tom dipped his head. "I am only as good as my mentors teachings." He meowed returning the praise. Just then the harsh breeze swished again his face causing his eyes to close and head to turn away. "Man this storm is proving to be a rough one." •○Tansytail○• The Forest || Applefur @stelathfire & Riverpaw Wildclan Relief washed over Tansytail when Applefur agreed to take shelter until the storm passed over. Looking around she instantly began to look for shelter. Not wondering too far she searched the current snow drift and managed to find a decent sized fallen tree. At the roots the snow had already built up quite a large drift. "Applefur here! If we dig in a ways we can make a decent sized snow den. And will be quite insulated once we all get inside." Her frozen paws struggled to begin to dig but as she kept going and blood continued to flow through her toes it became easier. 《After Darkstride gets to camp we will do a time skip to the end of the storm 》

Shortblaze / Fleetwing Stealthfire / Quailfeather Blueflame123 Shortblaze turned towards Fleetwing, "I can check it out." He said in a calm voice. This really could be Greencough... it might have spread that fast. He grabbed a piece of full honeycomb and headed towards the Elder's den. He felt the cold air and snow hitting his face but he padded into the den and saw Quailfeather, "I heard you have a cough. Does it hurt your chest when you talk?" Riverpaw / Applefur Stealthfire / Tansytail Falconwing Riverpaw heard Tansytail and padded beside her to help dig up a little bit. Her paws were freezing but she dug as fast as she could through the cold ground. The adrenaline coursing through her body made it a little easier to dig through the tough ground but it still hurt her paws to dig. (Also I just got this idea and I want to make an NPC named Wren who gets attacked by the wolves after the clan took her in because she was a queen and now there's a 3 moon kit left alone in the nursery. Silverkit 3 Moons || She-cat || Kit Silver kit is a very small she-cat with a white pelt and three brown spots on her back. Her eyes are blue now but will become a mossy green. Determined and Free-willed. Wren - Mother Shall I Stay or Shall I Go... She can have siblings if anyone wants to play a sibling.)

Falconwing Wildclan maybe Quailfeather can take care of the kit after he reovers or if Wintershadow goes to the nursery? Just a thought! )) Wintershadow felt her spirits rise when she hear the faint meow of Darkstride. Thank Starclan! She thought to herself, her jew was clenched strongly on the mouse as she reached the tom and his apprentice. She gasped, almost dropping her prey. "What is wrong?" She dropped her prey and approached the apprentice, her heart beating wildly as she met Darkstride's gaze for a moment. Volepaw needed to get to camp now! "We need to get to camp now!" She stuttered, trying not to shiver. This storm was so bad. Her white pelt was fluffed out against the snow but the wind was sharp. She could almost make out where they were now. Quailfeather had almost ducked into a deep sleep before he heard a noise at the den entrance. He quickly woke up and uncurled, still laying down he let out a raspy cough. He sighed when he realized it was Shortblaze. "Im okay really." He murmured as he sat up. His fur was a mess and he needed to groom his pelt but he felt too tired right now, almost like he could go to sleep. Trying to cover another cough he looked away and swallowed. "Maybe a little." He stated after a moment, a sigh leaving his body.

《 Wildclan I love that idea but let's hold off on bringing that to light until a little later on. Right now the kit would die within a matter of days without a queens milk. It is not yet ready to start on solid food. When we do times skips it will pass the time of Wintershadows pregnancy and once she has her kits it will be a possibility for the kit to survive. 》

Darkstride The Pond -> Camp || Wintershadow Blueflame123 & Volepaw Sneezeblossom Stealthfire & Otterstar & Shortblaze Wildclan "Its this way" Darksteide meowed after Wintershadow made it to them. He gave a sad look to Volepaw but was hopeful that he would be okay. They were so close it would be just a matter of minutes before they were back in camp. Plus the fact that the warrior had been warming up the young tom by practically laying on him, his long fur and bigger body sheilding Volepaw from the storm. Rising he grabbed the tom by the scruff and lifted him out of the snow. Leading the way the dark tabby tom left the banks of the pond and did his best to head north. After traveling about twenty paces the warrior began to hesitate, they should be able to see the camp wall by now, right? Just then there was another yowl. Otterstar! Turning he headed straight for the yowl and found Otterstar standing out in the storm waiting for them. "Quick this way!", order the clan leader and turned bounding back to the camp wall. "Where are the others?" He questioned wondering where the rest of the patrol had gone. Volepaw clutched tightly in his jaws Darkstride could only shake his head no before rushing forwards and racing into camp passing Leafpelt along the way. The tom did not stop until he reached the medicine cats den. Gently setting down Volepaw he called out to the medicine cats. "Please help him, he almost made it back on his own."

•☆Otterstar☆• Camp || Returning Cats & Leafpelt @stitchlover20 When Darkstride appeared through the flurries hope rose within Otterstar. That was Hawkcrys patrol plus Wintershadow who had been out hunting. But where was Hawkcry. "Where are the others?" He questioned after leading back to the camps other wall. Darkstride met his gaze and shook his head no before rushing into camp to seek help for his fallen apprentice. Allowing Wintershadow to go in front of him the clan leader followed the retuningcats to the camps entrance. He stopped when he reached Leafpelt. "Darkstride said this was all that remained of Hawkcrys patrol. Applefur, Riverpaw, and Tansytail are still out there. Are you good to remain here just in case they make it close to camp? If not I will send someone to relieve you, but I need to go speak with Darkstride."

•○Tansytail○• Forest || Applefur Stealthfire & Riverpaw Wildclan After digging through the snow they finally reached the earth and after a few moment they had a decent sized hole to fit into. Allowing Riverpaw and Applefur to enter first the golden female was the last one in. Just being out of the cutting wind made a dramatic difference. Turning around she faced the exit and began to rearrange the snow to make the entrance as small as possible. To keep the heat of their bodies in and the cold of the storm out. "We should all shuffle around for a minute or two, it will help our bodies warm up faster." The suggestion was good but there was barely any room for movement and Tansytail did her best to maintain small movements and soon the small den began to warm up. They were going to make it through this.

•◇Darkstride◇• Stealthfire Sneezeblossom So worried about his apprentice Darkstride didn't hear Sneezeblossom ask if he had any wounds. The shivering dark tom just sat there staring at unconscious Volepaw until he realized that the young medicine cat was staring right at him. Blinking his eyes and wriggling the ice off his muzzle the warrior came to. "Is he going to be okay?" He questioned his mind still not having processed what the shecat said to him. But no one could blame him for it, a lot had happened today and the dark tabby still had yet to process it all. This was the first moment Darkstride had to think about thinks and it all came flood back at once. Tail still and head hanging low from exhaustion as well as sorrow he stood back up and looked to the patient Sneezeblossom. "Forgive me, so much has happened. I have a couple of bite wounds but they are fine for now. I will return for you to tend to them and to check on Volepaw but first I must go speak with Otterstar."

•¤Thistlepaw¤• Camp || Beechtail Stealthfire "Wasn't he on the same patrol as them?" The tabby questioned stepping close to his mentors side. Darksteide looked as if he had taken quiet a beating, and poor Volepaw completely unconscious. Eyes wide he cast a worried look to Beechtail as the ruffled warrior quickly past them up and disappeared into the medicine cats den. Taking one step forward in curiosity he desperately wished to follow after Darkstride and ramble off a barrage of questions but he stopped himself. Now was not the time. Word traveled quickly within the clan and Thistlepaw was sure that by nightfall he would know what was going down.

Falconwing )) Wintershadow was shivering after she dropped the mouse on the fresh-kill pile, a hint of surprised passed through her when she noticed more prey on the pile. Hopefully it stays that way... She thought before glancing around. She was a bit further from Darkstride so she didnt know where he went after entering camp. She had assumed the medicine den. "Hopefully Volepaw is okay..." She murmured under her breath, her ears pinning as another gust of wind almost knocked her off her paws. She got up and quickly went to the medicine den. She wanted to check on the apprentice, and maybe offer some comfort to the tom. She let out a breath when she entered the medicine den, the wind no longer messing with her pelt. She saw the apprentice unconscious and Darkstride right in front of her, he must have been heading out. She looked up and met his gaze for a moment, it was obvious he was frantic, she wondered what happened. She opened her mouth to speak to him, her eyes soft. I apologize if they arent in the den, I couldnt tell XD )) Stealthfire , I have nothing else to do with Lightningshadow so if you wanna do a crush/eventual relationship with Nightfang im open to it XD maybe she can find a soft side lol ))

Shortblaze / Quailfeather Blueflame123Shortblaze stared at Quialfeather. His gaze was fixed on the to's throat, "Take the honey. It'll at least soothe your throat. If anything gets even the tiniest bit worse. You come to me or Sneezeblossom. Immediately." His voice was stern but still calm. He stared into Quailfeahter's eyes. Riverpaw / Applefur Stealthfire / Tansytail FalconwingRiverpaw heard Tansytail's idea and shuffled around as much as she could. She felt her body heating up a little as she moved and her paws weren't frozen anymore. Thank you Starclan. Thank you for not letting me get caught alone. She thought to herself. Her tail flicked around as much as she could to generate more heat for her body and in the small space, "Applefur. Tansytail. Thank you for keeping me safe." She said very quietly. Her whole body was relaxing.

Quailfeather nodded. "Okay I will." He murmured and curled back up into his nest. They had more important things to do than worry about a cat like him! There we're warriors that needed to be looked after. He sighed and closed his eyes.

Leafpelt / Entrance to Camp / With Otterstar Falconwing Leafpelt noticed the patrol coming through and helped as much as she can to guide them inside. Her heart dropped when Otterstar spoke to her about some others who haven't came back yet. "I'll do whatever I can to help, Otterstar." She gazed at her leader with firm confidence before returning to her post. "Please be careful out there," she added to the tom.

The she-cat was flush from their digging, and did as Tansytail said, keeping her body moving slightly. "We have to move our paws every so often, otherwise they can go numb from the ground and we won't even notice," she warned. Applefur hated to be to serious, and to say things that could worry Riverpaw. But it was more important right now to keep her safe than to keep her from fear, as sad as it was to the warrior. "You'll be just fine, Riverpaw. We'll wait here together, then we'll go right back to the others in camp."
Sneezeblossom looked over the little tom, whose slight but present breathing put her at ease. "I promise he'll be just fine, he only needs rest." She nodded to the warrior as he left to inform the leader of whatever had occurred on that ill-fated patrol. "Of course. Volepaw can stay here until he wakes. Then you can return and get yourself treated." She hoped he wouldn't neglect to return, but knew how warriors could sometimes be. She squinted after Darkstride, trying to see what he could possibly be saying to Otterstar, then stopped herself. If the clan was meant to know, their leader would tell them soon. She had cats to attend to at the moment. Beechtail nodded with worry to Thistlepaw. She wanted to run to Darkstride and find out for herself, but she had to stay calm, and know that Otterstar would decide what to do. "Why don't you go and check on Volepaw, see if Sneezeblossom needs anything," she meowed, reluctant to stop their battle training, when they had just been having so much fun. But Shortblaze was at the elder's den, and the limp apprentice worried her as his mentor left to speak with the leader.

•◇Darkstride◇• Medicine Cats Den -> Camp Clearing || Otterstar The wary warrior gave Sneezeblossom a final nod, thankful for her skillset and willingness to take car of Volepaw. As he turned to leave Darkstride ran into Wintershadow. Her soft sweet eyes looked into his and as she opened her mouth the tom pressed forwards. Rubbing his muzzle along the side of her neck in a comforting almost affectionate manner he spoke up before she had the chance to. "I will come find you in a minute." And with that he pulled away from a white warrior and trotted over to where Otterstar was. The pair met in the middle and Darkstride dipped his head low. "Otterstar.. I bring grave news." Rising to look the brown and cream tom in the eyes Darkstride continued. "The patrol was ambushed by a pack of wolves, five or more! We almost didnt make it out. But Hawkcry and Whitethroat saved us. They sacrificed themselves for Volepaw and I could escape." The warriors head dropped as he admitted the defeat and loss that patrol had sustained. "I did my best to return with Volepaw and warn the clan. The wolves were massive creatures, much bigger than any dog I have ever seen. Thankfully the storm threw them off our trail but I fear that it will only be a matter of time before they make their way deeper into the territory." ((I added another NPC character Whitethroat to make the patrol look well staffed. And add to the loss. Whitethroat - Grey tabby tom with a white chest and throat. Green eyes. Senior Warrior. )) •☆Otterstar☆• Camp Clearing || Darkstride & anyone else who wants to jump in. Otterstar was floored by the news and staggered back onto his haunches. Bright blue eyes wide and the frozen world about them seemed to fade away for a moment. Just like that, two warriors.. just gone. One his trusted friend and deputy, the other a loyal senior warrior. Both perished probably in the most brutal way possible. After a moment the clan leader pulled himself out of his head and back to the world around him. What were they going to do? How could Darkstride just abandon his clanmates and flee. "How could you leave them! You fled and left Hawkcry and Whitethroat to die!", anger filled the clan leader, a feeling he had not felt in forever. The brown tom didnt know how else to process what had just happened. All he knew was that he was angry, furious, and scared of what was to come. Because of the fear it fueled more anger and the only one to take it out on was Darkstride who had flinched at Otterstars response. "I.. we.. were ambushed! There was barely anything I could do", the warrior scrambled for words as he tried to explain that it had all happened so fast. "You could have saved them!", a deep growl rose in his throat as he howled into the cowering toms face. "I thought better of you Darkstride, you are not worthy to be called a warrior. Leave my sight!", he hissed whipping away from the warrior and began to pace back and forth in the middle of camp trying to figure out what he was going to do next. •¤Thistlepaw¤• Camp || Beechtail Sneezeblossom Volepaw StealthfireHearing the command from his mentor the apprentice hesitated slightly. Amber eyes watching as Darkstride met with Otterstar. He wanted to know what happened, but when Beechtail mentioned Volepaw and he knew he needed to go check on him. Quickly the young tom cat bounded to the medicines den. Squeezing inside he found it to already be crawling with cats. He had passed Wintershadow on the way in, and Lichenfrost also lingered in the back of the den. Approaching Sneezeblossom the tom dipped his head. "Do you need any help? Looks like your paws are full."

Sneezeblossom started a little at Thistlepaw's approach, her mind concentrated on the black apprentice. When he questioned her, she looked around at the cats in her den, all present for completely different reasons. Her nose tingled, and she strained to keep from sniffling. It was likely just stress, and not whatever illness Lichenfrost had brought to her. "Hi Thistlepaw," she greeted the apprentice with her best attempt at a bright chiming tone, "I honestly don't know. I'm trying to find something strong smelling, maybe it will wake Volepaw up. But I don't know if it works that way." She was unhappy to admit how lost she was with so many things occurring at once. Her greatest fear was that she was granted her medicine cat name early just in case she didn't survive long enough, out of pity, and with each moment she felt uncertain about a treatment, it confirmed her suspicion. "You have a better nose than me," she jested, "What stinks the strongest? I think I'm used to them all now." Sneezeblossom motioned to the scatterings of berries, leaves, stems, and flowers in front of her. The she-cat hardly noticed her apprentice leaving her obediently, her eyes and ears were fixated on Darkstride. She could barely make out their words, but as their conversation escalated, Beechtail's fear burned steadily, waiting. When Otterstar lashed out at the warrior, she could take it no longer. She fled to the leader as he stalked in agitation. "Otterstar, where are they? Where is my brother?" She would not usually have approached the tom in such a visibly enraged state, but her concern and suspicious anger made her bold. If anything had happened to Hawkcry, as she now was growing to believe, she would have little luck holding back her fury.

Leafpelt / Clan / Otterstar and Darkstride (Falconwing)It seemed as if everyone had made it to camp before the storm could do anymore damage. Leafpelt winced when snow and wind buffeted her pelt, chilling her skin beneath the brown and white fur she had. Her eyes widen in shock as she happened to walk towards the group of cats and heard the shocking news; their deputy, Hawkcry, had been killed about a pack of wolves. What shocked her the most was the outcry from Otterstar and the harsh words he spoke towards Darkstride, who had backed away from their leader. A pang of sadness hit her heart as she caught the sight of sorrow in her leader's eyes and she hesitantly walked forward.
"Otterstar." Leafpelt took her place beside Darkstride, glancing at the warrior with worried expression. She returned her yellow eyes to Otterstar until she could catch his own eyes. "I know how hard this is and everyone is upset from this terrible lost. Hawkcry had been a wonderful deputy to HollowClan, but you cannot blame Darkstride for his death. He saved Volepaw from the clutches of those foul dogs. Don't you think he's noble warrior to save a young cat?" Her voice remained calm as she spoke to the enraged leader, knowing well she might get snarled at as well for speaking up for her clanmate. She couldn't allow him to call Darkstride not worthy to be a warrior.

Falconwing )) Wintershadow turned around and walked out of the medicine den, her paws tingling as she walked back into the clearing. She wondered how Darkstride's conversation with Otterstar went. Surely he would be very upset, a part of her worried for the warriors safety but she tried not to think of it. Instead of worrying, she headed to the warriors den. She hoped he would be along shortly. There wasn't much any cat could do at this point, the storm was too severe to do anything about it. We can only hope that they found somewhere safe to hide for the night. She thought to herself as she settled into her nest in the corner of the den.

•◇Darkstride◇• Camp || everyone Darkstride began to back away after Otterstar viciously dismissed him. Sadnessed welled within him, maybe Otterstar was right. Maybe if he had joined the fight the deputy would have had a chance to escape. But where would he be? In the belly of the beast? Ears perked up at the approach of Beechtail asking about her brother and instantly he heart dropped a little deeper. "I'm so sorry Beechtail, but a pack of wolves ambushed us." Dipping his head to the female he began to leave like his leader wished for him to when Leafpelt of all cats came to his aid. The warrior stood up for him to Otterstar and it helped the tom realize that he did the right thing in saving his apprentice. Casting a kind look to the female Darkstride stood a bit taller. Though at the moment it was obvious that Otterstar needed his space, and his worry for Volepaw had yet to recede. "I will go check on Volepaw." He vocalized not to anyone in particular. Maybe just so Otterstar would know he was leaving. Despite not agreeing with the clan leader, he would respect his wishes. Turning the tom made his way back towards the medicine cats den, paws heavy and slow moving. •☆Otterstar☆• Camp || Beechtail ( Stealthfire) & Leafpelt (@stitchlover20) Otterstar was really at a loss for words when Beechtail frantically questioned him for Hawkcry. Though his back was still turned to Darkstride he could hear the warriors voice rise up and give Beechtail the grave news before announcing his leave. Trying to catch his breath and suppress emotion, Otterstar shook his head and turned just in time to have Leafpelt step in front of him to defend Darkstride. The she-warrior had never spoke to him in such way before that Otterstar took a small step back in surprise. Her yellow eyes pierced into his with such strength that the tom found it hard not to heed her words. She was right, and after a moment he came to realization that he had been too harsh on Darkstride. Pride however kept him from admitting it at the moment and only a short growl escaped him as he breathed out. He couldn't deny his wrong doing, but he was far from ready to admit it. Icy blue eyes still locked with Leafpelts he stepped closer to the warrior his larger form lingering over hers. She leveled him in a way he was not expecting. Leafpelt was a valuable loyal warrior, one he had never though ill of. Now his mind began to wonder other things about her. Things he had never thought about before. Puffing again he gave her a short head nod, accepting her words, and turned to Beechtail. "I am sorry Beechtail, like Leafpelt said this news is tough to digest. We will mourn for the brave warrior who we lost today, but we must address the main issue at hand. Wolves have returned to Hollowclan territory. It has been many generations since wolves have even set paw here. Darkstride mentioned a pack of at least five... how do we defend against so many?" He questioned looking to his warriors seeking ideas. Though leader he was not afraid to accept battle strategies from his warrior. A variety of perspectives always helped keep them on top. •¤Thistlepaw¤• Medi cat den || Sneezeblossom Stealthfire Thistlepaw blinked as Sneezeblossom struggled to find something to help the young apprentice wake up. There were so many scents around them that it was hard for the warrior-to-be to focus on any one scent. When she asked for his help Thistlepaw hesitated. "Umm okay yeah", he meowed stepping forward to check out the herbs that the shecat spread out before them. He had to put his nose close to each one to figure out which was the best and finally settled on one. "Here, these smell sharp and tangy. They would wake me up in a heart beat if you shoved them in my face while sleeping", unbeknown to the tom he had picked up a small bundle of feverfew. "You think it will work?" He question, hoping that they would. He was happy to help the pretty molly but the last thing he wanted to do was to go rummaging around through a bunch of herbs again. Hopefully this one would do the trick.

Too embarrassed to admit she couldn't sniff too close to any herb without fitful sneezing, the calico smiled and nodded her head. "I'll take your word for it. Only one way to find out," she purred, and nudged the chamomile flowers away from Volepaw's nose momentarily as she carefully took the feverfew from Thistlepaw. Placing them under the black tom's nose, she sent a nervous glance at Thistlepaw, and quickly covered her trepidation with another smile. "At least just smelling herbs can't hurt, even if it is a mistake." She hoped her attempts at light humour weren't out of place in the den filled with ailing cats. Suddenly, Sneezeblossom observed a sharp inhale from Volepaw, and his whiskers began to twitch. "You were right!" she purred, and replaced the chamomile for Volepaw to steadily lap at as he came to. "Thanks, Thislepaw. I'll have to fetch you whenever I need a better nose." Changing her bright tone to a more somber topic, she mewed, "I haven't seen Whitethroat or Hawkcry yet. Are they still out there?" Part of her knew that if Darkstride and Volepaw were the only cats she had seen at the medicine den so far, the others wouldn't be back. Beechtail / Otterstar Falconwing / Leafpelt @stitchlover20 : Camp Beechtail's fur bristled to match Otterstar's at Darkstride's news, repeated by the leader. She could hardly think, and couldn't stop horrible imaginings of such an awful battle from entering her thoughts. She sat stunned in anger and disbelief, lifting her gaze to Otterstar's as he opened up the question. "Defend?" she growled, "It's simple, we don't. We'd need to send out our whole clan to fight them, and probably lose half. Wolves who tear through warriors like that shouldn't be fought." There was no way they could send more warriors to defend against a pack of five, it would destroy their clan. And Beechtail knew if Hawkcry could do nothing but sacrifice himself, then there was little hope of anyone else defeating them.

Leafpelt / Camp / Otterstar and Beechtail (Falconwing, Stealthfire)Time felt as though it came to a complete stop as the larger cat took a few paces towards her and towered over her for a few seconds. Her gaze didn't dare pull away from Otterstar's as he growled and took those paw steps closer as if he may hit her head with a paw. Emotions can make a cat do crazy things and she wouldn't be surprised if he lashed out on everyone around him from the awful news. An ear twitched in response to Darkstride's excuse, hoping she had helped him somewhat better about the situation he was in. Once Otterstar nodded curtly and returned to Beechatil, her entire body gave up the tension that had been building up in her muscles. She felt relieved he didn't pushed the limits to harm a clanmate or speak coldly about herself in front of the clan. Now the true challenge is at paw with the decision of the wolves and what they can do to stop them.
"I have to agree with Beechtail on this one." Leafpelt glanced at her with a sympathetic look before turning to Otterstar. "They might slaughter all of HollowClan if we send anyone out there, especially in this type of weather. I don't think you want Hawkcry dying in vain nor does anyone else." Fear twinged inside her at the thought of everyone going out there without being able to see and running into the wolves who had easily killed some of their fiercest warriors.
