Once Leafpaw found the source of the noise, he gasped. Someone was inside a moving den, carried by a big, weird looking creature with a naked face. It stood on its hind legs, like a bear, and its pelt was multicolored. Leafpaw saw Foxpaw leap towards the creature. It raised one of its long hind legs and aimed a kick towards Foxpaw, and Leafpaw immediately broke into a run. "Hang on!" he yelled. "I'm here!"
Cloudwing let his tail lay flat on the snowy ground. "I don't know," he said honestly. "I just woke up, and I was being called to a patrol to save a kittypet. I do not even know what she looks like. If Brokenstar wants me to help, I will. I cannot ignore someone who is suffering. I have to help."
He lowered his head, momentarily lost in memory.
"Please, Cloudwing! Do something!"
"What d-do you need?"
...
"No, no... I can't do that."
"You have to help me."
Cloudwing shook his head, clearing away the horrifying memories. This wasn't a good time to think about what he did. Shivering, he drew his tail closer to his body, then stood up.
"We should be leaving now." Cloudwing dipped his head to Brokenstar, then smiled at Rainwing. "I will see you soon."
He broke into a run, but no matter how fast he ran, he couldn't outrun those memories.
