  • Calicopaw had been hunting a vole when she saw a small fox on the other side of the river. She called for her mentor, scared.

  • Calicopaw blinked. Okay, what had she eaten? She did not just hear a fox speak. Cats couldn't understand fox speak.
    "Err... Hi," she replied. She shook her head. She was talking to a fox. Then again, it was just a pup, so...
    "I'm Calicopaw, from RiverClan."

  • Calicopaw smiled. This fox was actually kind of nice. Sure, she was crazy for talking to an enemy to all cats, but what harm could he do?
    "Where do you live?" she mewed, trying to start a conversation.

  • The fox looks at her grimly. "My mother had went to go find food around her and I have been waiting for days for her to come back, she hasn't yet." he says, "We live in Thunder troop, but we had to go away for some reason..." His stomach growls.

  • "Do you want me to help you find her?" Calicopaw asked gently. She had no idea why she was gonna help a fox but her mentor ignored her half the time, so... she really had nothing else to do.

  • Calicopaw sniffed the air. The fishy, home-like scent of RiverClan was behind her. The musky, swampy scent of ShadowClan was about a mile or so away. There was the scent of pine, wood pigeon, mouse... and one that smelled a bit like Flame. She nodded towards the gorge. "I think she's over there," she meowed.

  • Flame hears a growl. "Mama!" he shouts and rushes to her rescue. The mana fox was curled up in a ball with huge gashes on her legs, which inabled her to move. "Mama what happened!?" he says. The mama fox, Clover, tried to nuzzle him, but then she saw Calicopaw. "Why have you come? Do not hurt my kits!" she yells. "These RiverClan cats have harmed me after I have done nothing to harm them." she sinks back down and pants. "...Mama?" Flame says softly. There was no answer.

  • "I should've told you, Flame," Calicopaw whispered. "RiverClan cats hate foxes. But I don't. I don't understand why we hurt other animals when they have done nothing to us." She looked at him. "I suppose you hate me now." She ran away, thinking Flame was gonna try to attack her.

  • Calicopaw looked at him. "No. We don't have to be," she whispered. She walked back over to the river. "I'm very sorry about your mother."
