Swiftheart watched the forest, looking around the bends of trees, and up at the sky, paranoid. The sky was darkened and his hope was lost, he knew that he would be traveling back in pitch dark, especially if he did not even know where his leader was. With everystep he felt the cold breeze coming in watching dark clouds come closer with a worried expression. Swiftheart started racing and sniffing around for Whitestar's scent, wondering where he would be. Swiftheart then followed a faint scent, and he knew he better hurry before the rain washes it away. Swiftheart raced, breaking the still air with his slim grey body running through. Following the faint scent, he stopped. Looking around seeing rats appearing from each side of the trail coming closer, out of their nests.
Swiftheart's heartbeat raced and he unsheathed his claws, waiting for this battle, that should be easy since it was only a few rats. As they jumped up to attack him, he sliced his claws at each of their bodies that flew near him, letting the impact of his claws take them a yard or so away, hitting the ground or trees. He walked warily now then before, still following the scent.
Swiftheart Narrowed his eyes at a masculine cat's body outside the forest, it had cuts and bites around the neck and shoulder's. As he walked slowly, he noticed that it was Whitestar.
He nudged Whitestar's head, trying to get attention or any response. " Whitestar, get up! Please, get up! " Swiftheart hissed. Again, more anger was filled into Swiftheart's emotions. Swiftheart then bit down on Whitestar's neck where his extra skin was and dragged him from. He dragged him into the forest and was trying to follow his way back home when a raindrop hit his head, then it hit his head again, and more, as the rain came down pooring. Mud formed between Swiftheart's paws everystep, and Swiftheart's fur had gotten soaked. He then took a turn around a tree and thought he saw this tree already before. " Am I lost? " Swiftheart meowed softly to himself in confusion.
Swiftheart let go of Whitestar and shook him again, then looked up at the rain as it pierced into his eyes. Looking back down again he saw where Whitestar had laid become a blood puddle. " Don't quit now, bring your leader home before he bleeds out. " he thought to himself.
" Whitestar Don't Go On Me! " Swift Loudly Meowed, grabbing Whitestar's extra skin again dragging him hopefully to find his camp through the blinding, thick rain. The mud made him slower and the wind and rain beating against him was making him sick and drowsy.
