    Brushtail snarled and bit the fox furiously. He looked at Sneezepaw and mewed, "Go back to the camp and tell the others!"

    Wintertail was shocked by the scene but she still had to help. She tackled the fox making it go on its back. The creature kicked and growled and clawed but was no use for the two cats.

    Sneezepaw was frozen with fear, but as soon as Brushtail ordered him back to camp, he snapped out of his shock and pelted off. He was confused though; he coildn't talk! How couldbhe tell everyone there was a fox? His mind was still whirling when he entered camp- but there was no time to hesitate. Eyes bulging with desperation, he ran from the entrance, outside, and back in again a number of times and stared at everycat, hoping they'd understand.


    Duskpaw was eating a thrush with his brother, Shredpaw.
    "What does that wierdo want?" he scoffed.
    "Don't call him that," Shredpaw snapped. "He can't help it. He looks scared- maybe there's danger!"

    the fox got back up and tackled Wintertail. It was trying to bite her neck but her paws were in the way. It tore throught the skin of her left paw and bit down on the bone. Wintertail shreiked in pain as she heard the bone cracking.

    Brushtail rammed himself at the creature's face, knocking its muzzle off Whitetail's paw.

    Wintertail tried to stand but her paw was bleeding rapidly and it was about to break. She started to see double and passed out at the loss of blood.

    Brushtail snarled at the fox and bit its hind leg, bringing it down. He rushed over to Wintertail and gently bit her by her scruff. He started dragging her back to the camp, careful not to hurt her further.

    "come on!" Screechpaw stood up and began running over to Sneezepaw. Duskpaw sighed and followed.
    "What is it, Sneezepaw?" Screechpaw bent down to his level. "What's wrong?"


    Sneezepaw blinked and ran in and out of camp again, relieved when his denmates followed.
    They began to pelt back to where the fox was.

    Brushtail saw the other cats and felt relieved that they understood Sneezepaw.

    "Woah! Wintertail!" Duskpaw stared in shock, and Sneezepaw mewled worriedly.
    "Come on, we have to grt that foxow, before it creates anymore damage! Brushtail, I know as an apprentice I have no place to ask you to do this but as soon as Wintertail's settled in camp, please can you get some warriors?" Screechpaw babbled. "Thanks," He added as he and the other two apprentices dashed off.


    Sneezepaw wrinkled his nose. "Ugh, this is where the fox is alright!" Duskpaw choked.

    Brushtail mewed and dragged Wintertail back to the camp. Once the cat was settled in the medicine den, Brushtail yowled, "Warriors, follow me! Fox!" He took off for the foret with a bunch of cats streaking behind him.

    Screechpaw snarled as he looked around.
    Sneezepaw mewled as it's acrid stench got stronger.


    Windwhistle dashed after his clanmates.

    "Thanks, Brushtail!" Screechpaw called.
    "Where is this fox?" Windwistle growled. The warrior was rarely agressive, but when something threatened his clan, he could barely contain himself. "And do youbreally think Sneezepaw should fight?"
    Sneezepaw looked at Windwistle. He didn't understand- he could fight! Not as well as the tohers, but he could!

    Brushtail sniffed the air, looked around and spat, "The fox went that way and Sneezepaw can fight. I'll keep an eye on him." He started walking deeper into the bushes.

    Windwhistle breathed through his nose. "Thinks he knows what's best for my son..." He looked down at Sneezepaw. "I tell you what, if your mother were still here--"
    "No time!" Screechpaw pushed Windwhistle and they pelted on.

    Brushtail crept through the bushes, growling softly. He glanced behind him and hissed, "Sneezepaw, stay close." He sniffed the air. He could smell something. He stepped onto the cat carcass and jumped back.

    Back at camp...


    Wintertail was on a piece of moss when she woke up. She sprang up rapidly and yowled," I have to stop that fox!" ,then fell as her paw was still broken. "Calm down Wintertail! That paw could be damaged like that forever if you don't rest!" Mistpaw mewed. She got some poppy seeds and got the medicine cat, Lilywater. "Where is Brushtail? and Sneezepaw?" She mewed frantically. "Their alright just lay down and get some rest."

    Sneezepaw nodded, but the energy he had thismorning had begun to dissapear and he began to stumble.
    Windwistle growled under his breath. "Wouldn't even let normal apprentices fight a fox... Let alone Sneezepaw..."
    "Stop complaining!" Duskpaw meowed.

    Brushtail stopped and glanced at Sneezepaw. He heard Windwistle and now meowed, "Sneezepaw, if you feel tired you can head back to camp and see if Whitetail's alright. We'll be fine." He didn't want to overwork his apprentice.
