Oakpaw entered camp, his tail drooping and eyes on the floor. He sported no serious wounds, yet the ordeal had him exhausted. His eyes were clouded, and he looked over at Asterfang and Nettlepaw, paws feeling heavy. You know, if you were better, this wouldn't have happened. A devious voice rang in his head, and his ears flattened as he turned tail and left for the apprentices den.
Bramblefang had made it to the entrance, only to step aside to let everyone through, eyes wide, watching the wounds they carried and....the body. He shrunk away, ears flattened, though he noticed that a certain she-cat wasn't with them. "Linnetstripe?" For once, the elder's voice was quiet as he spoke, as if he were a kit being scolded. He spoke nothing more, but his eyes held the question. Where is Brightstar? Is she okay?
