Heart in his throat, he squeezed his way out of the den to join his sister and Littlepaw. The branches caught his legs, leaving tiny scratches, but he continued on regardless, fueled by the panic he was trying to hard to smother. Dapplestar had to be alive. Even if she was trapped under there, she had to be alive and okay and no other outcome was possible. Aspenpaw wouldn't accept it.
"She...she's not moving!"
Forget in his throat, his heart plummeted directly to his paws. "You're sure?" He doubted Littlepaw would say such a thing otherwise, but he had to ask. Plumpaw was panicking, too, another sign that things were bad. He would've rather missed a hundred more squirrels out on the territory than been here for this.
Right now, he was very, very cold, and getting very, very frustrated. StarClan, please — They had to help with things like this, didn't they, they'd given Dapplestar nine lives, surely they wouldn't let her waste one on this, nobody died like this — Shoving at the rocks was pointless, but Aspenpaw tried anyway. "Come on come on come on," he mumbled, paws slipping on the leaves. There had to be something. At the very least, there had to be someone else strong enough to help.
