Songbreeze nodded, then taking a deep breath, yelled, "CLOOOUUuuudtuuuft!" Her voice wasn't exactly loud, but her lungs could hold more air because of her constant running, so she was able to hold it much longer than most dogs would. She walked slowly, following Cloudtuft's trail. Song, idiot, don't duck your head like that! Stop looking over your shoulder. If YOU act like you're doing something you shouldn't be, then they think you are! This was very basic, beginner-type knowledge for a trouble-making apprentice. Look confident, like you have a purpose and destination, and they'll believe it. At least, Songbreeze hoped. She shook herself slightly, causing her ears to flap slightly against her cheeks. Her head now held high, tail in a relaxed position, her legs straight, shoulders moving in smooth rhythm. She called once again. "CLOUDTUFT!!!"

"Clooouuudtuuuft!"
Dunlinfur added his voice to Songbreeze's as he lifted his nose and let forth a howl. Every few seconds or so, he would bark out her name as he continued walking, following the scent trail. With every step he took, he felt his worry for her safety increase. It was a good thing he was here. If something dangerous had happened to Couldtuft, he would be right there to work on her. Of course, lacking his newly re-organized herb stores was a problem, but there were things he could do even on his own.
"Cloudtuft! Where are you? Couldtuft?!"
He looked over at Songbreeze, also calling intermittently for the lost WindClan canine. She walked with such cool confidence, but Dunlinfur suspected it was an act. Songbreeze had clearly been worried about entering ShadowPack territory just minutes ago, yet she showed none of that nervousness now. Being a dog that took life as it came, Dunlinfur found it came naturally to him to keep from being overly tense, but he was not particularly great at hiding his feelings. He was calm and relaxed most of the time because he genuinely felt that way, not because he was trying to look like it.
"Cloudtuft!"

Oh, Cloudtuft, Songbreeze thought exasperatedly when she caught scent of a panicked deer. What were you thinking? Not only trespassing, but hunting Shadowpack prey?! Song found herself realizing how bad that was. If Cloudtuft had caught the deer, that would be very, very bad. Being caught in Shadowpack, she was in trouble enough, but if she was stealing their prey, that was worse. Velvetstar wasn't known for her mercy, and neither was Shadowpack. Not to mention that that would be breaking the warrior code... "Clooouuuudtuuuuft!"

Thornheart opened her eyes lazily. "Mmm, that's strange, camp's still empty," she said to herself. The ancient she-dog could feel a slight twitch coming on in her left back leg, which sometimes meant something was wrong, and other times meant absolutely nothing at all. Thornheart, having nothing else to do, began to lick herself. Her long, thick black coat, as old as she was, still needed cleaning, especially after falling asleep in the grass like that. However, her mind was wandering to her packmates' locations. Hmmm, Velvetstar, Flowerpetal, Snowpaw, Birchpaw on a patrol, Flarepaw and Dawnpaw out somewhere gathering herbs. No idea where our three warriors are... Thornheart paused her licking, then chuckled. "Guess you're the only one here, Thornheart."

"Cloudtuft!"
It took him a bit longer to notice, but soon enough, Dunlinfur could smell it too. The scents of deer became increasingly mingled and mixed with Cloudtuft's. He furrowed his brow, more in confusion than anything. Hunting another pack's prey was forbidden. Any warrior of all the five packs knew that. Surely, Cloudtuft would not have been so brazen as to chase deer all the way out here. Yet, as Dunlinfur wracked his brain for any other answer, none came to him. While he did not want to judge the situation with missing information, he could not help but feel his worry turn to disappointment.
"Oh, Cloudtuft, please tell me you didn't..." he muttered under his breath, more to himself than anyone else.
He could tell that Songbreeze was thinking the same thing, if he were to guess by her expression. She seemed deep in thought, but did not let that stop her from focusing on the search. The whole mission just seemed to be taking turns for the worse. Dunlinfur and Songbreeze had already been walking through ShadowPack land for several minutes, but with all that was going on, it was hard to tell exactly how long it had truly been since they had first trespassed. They had to be at least halfway to ShadowPack camp by now, and still Cloudtuft smelled like she was a fair distance away. Dunlinfur started to wonder if she had run straight through ShadowPack's territory and never stopped. If that were the case, she would not likely be found tonight.
"Clooouuudtuuuft!" he howled again, taking the opportunity to check the time as he looked to the sky.
The thick trees around him obscured the horizon, and he could not tell for certain if the sun had fully set, but the sky looked dark and he thought he could see the first hints of silverpelt appearing in the deep blues above him. If they had no luck soon, they might have to turn back and get a proper search party together.

"Cloouuudtuuuft!" she yelled once more, fear beginning to get a grip of her. She found herself realizing that she had been, in fact, hoping to find a Shadowpack warrior or something. It was getting dark, and if they turned back now, Shadowpack would probably accuse them of trespassing as well. Great, this is just great. So we just have to keep on walking, or else we'll be in trouble too... "Cloudtuft, what were you thinking?" she muttered angrily to herself. Sure, her fellow packmate was in serious danger at the moment, but it still made her angry. She had one so far into Shadowpack territory... Songbreeze swallowed as she thought about Shadowpack's reputation and what they would do if they found a lone Windpacker hunting their prey. "Dunlinfur... we have to keep walking. Until we find someone from Shadowpack to give us an alibi. If we leave now, they'll probably accuse us of trespassing as well."

She watched her dogs contend aggressively with the outsider with interest. She wondered how she herself would've reacted if she'd caught Cloudtuft on her own. ShadowPack came first, so perhaps it wouldn't have appeared much different from what she was watching. She smirked at Cloudtuft's obvious shock from her spot in the undergrowth, concealed from her dogs and the WindPacker. Her pointed ear perked as she heard a small voice, accompanied by a gentle nudge to her hindleg. Dawnpaw. It seems like every ShadowPack dog is here for this. How fun. She simply grinned down at the pup and shushed her with a signalling twitch of both ears, then indicated the scene with a paw. Would the medicine dog apprentice be quite as interested as Velvetstar herself was?

She blinked out of her daze. She'd definitely seen him before. Instantly, she was overwhelmed by a chorus of angry voices. Her posture lowered instinctively as she realized how serious these dogs were - and how much danger she could be in. She'd heard stories about ShadowPack and its dogs' vicious dispositions since she was just a pup, but never had she considered that it could be completely true. It wasn't in her nature to assume the worst. She realized with a chill that there were ShadowPack dogs around all sides, even as the deputy was telling her to leave. Unsure of who exactly to respond to directly, she simply addressed them all. "I'm sorry! I really didn't mean any harm by it - I just figured it would be more acceptable to chase something as bountiful as a deer. I-I didn't realize - we could just split the meat, couldn't we? My Pack really kind of needs this, and -" Her head jerked upwards from her submissive pose as she heard two voices, comforting due to the familiarity of them. Songbreeze and Dunlinfur?

The little mutt's ears pricked up at the sound of a voice, but she gave no other indication of having noticed anyone else's activities in the immediate. Camp was very empty at the moment, and she felt relaxed because of it. Rive always found herself feeling guilty for taking up resources when she could do nothing to replace what she took from her pack, but it was easier to eat and sleep when she knew no one else was looking. If it was just her, then she only had to think about one dog judging her.
Rive had just eaten, so now she found herself laying in the corner, staring off into space, just enjoying the quiet. It was peaceful, but it could also get a bit boring. Of course it was boring. She never got to go anywhere, but Rive was used to it. There were always gatherings to look forward to, after all.
She rolled onto her side and stared somewhat vacantly at the Elders' Den. Currently, the only occupant was Thornheart. Rive appreciated Thornheart for her gentle nature. Perhaps she would see if Thornheart would enjoy some company. The scruffy omega pushed herself to her paws and trotted up to the resident elder. Her tail flowed behind her, bouncing from side-to-side with each motion of her haunches. Rive's movement was easy, relaxed, and open. She slowed as she approached, shyly averting her gaze to avoid appearing confrontational.
"You're the only one except for me, that is. How's it going, Thornheart?"

He paused long enough to give himself a thorough shake before continuing on. There was something about a nice shake that always steadied the nerves. It was like taking a deep breath, but with his whole body instead of just his lungs, and surely he needed it now.
"There aren't great options, huh?" he agreed wryly. "Someone's got've heard us by now. The whole forest, probably."
Dunlinfur chuckled. He was not too cool to laugh at his own jokes. Anything to break the mounting tension was a relief in his eyes, but jokes were not enough to fix the problem, not even close. His chuckle turned into a weary sigh, and then silence.
"Wait, quiet."
It was so faint, but he thought he heard voices, and none of them were very familiar. Dunlinfur had to strain to pick them up, and he could not hear anything clearly enough to tell what they were saying. His first thought was that he and Songbreeze had walked so far that they had stumbled upon ShadowPack camp. Seeing as he had never been there, it would have been easy to do under these circumstances, but a quick sniff told him that was not the case. The whole place stank of stale ShadowPack scents, but the odor should be much stronger around camp than it was here.
"A patrol, maybe? Should we get their attention? I mean, I'm sure they heard us calling, but..."

She looked at Velvetstar when the Shadowpack leader showed up as well thinking "So what do you think? Could we just let this slide between our paws and let the deer to the Windpack?" she asked at her, thoughtfully "As long they don't make this a hobby then there could be some consequences" she said. Flicking her ears to the upcoming voices which were coming closer "we don't want war do we, Windpacker?" she said to Cloudtuft.

Flarepaw

She stayed behind the other dogs, listening and watching, flattering her ears when she hear some callings. Starting to feel little nervous as she was not sure what was going on, could this be some Windpacks plan to steal their lands or something much worse.

Snowpaw sighed, slightly annoyed that they were still arguing over the deer. She just wanted the Windpack dog off of their territory. “We don’t want to be the ones to start a war over a deer. But if we just let you take it, who’s to say this won’t happen again?” Her tone was firm. If this ever happened again, the other packs could consider them to be weak. Shadowpack was strong and they could hunt and fight. But starting a war over a deer was not a smart move to make.

Songbreeze took a deep breath, then walked towards the voices. The scene was quite hectic, and the she-dog thought, quite faintly, wow, this is an amount of chaos that I would be proud of! Song stepped in calmly, though her voice was unusually stern. "We're here to collect her. We don't want trouble. Keep the deer." Song didn't even look at Cloudtuft, she only looked directly at Flowerpetal, not having noticed Velvetstar. Now that she found herself there, in the situation, she found her main emotion not to be fear, but anger, and frustration. Cloudtuft, why? This is so serious, you're lucky we're here, and no, I'm not here to comfort you, I seriously want to yell at you right now, but I won't, at least, not yet. Songbreeze stood there, staring straight at Flowerpetal, preparing her legs for a retreat, if seriously necessary, though Song really, really hoped that wasn't necessary.

Dawnpaw nodded quickly in understanding of the gesture, and slowly peered through the hollybush, and let out a gasp.
Dying, dying all dying,
sickness, sickness, you cannot help
Alone, we fall
United we are destroyed
Dawnpaw had sunk down into a laying down position, feeling dazed and out of focus. What was that? But she knew. The second she had seen the dog, the white one, she had felt the prophecy. Alone we fall, but united we are destroyed? Dawnpaw had only received a vision once before, and it had been of her watching Viperfrost, her mentor, get attacked by an eagle; it had appeared out of no where, and had landed on her heart, killing her. Of course, that wasn't how her mentor had died, but it had been symbolic, that the sickness would come out of no where, taking her life, and Dawnpaw wouldn't be able to help. But now... the words were all so cryptic and strange... Dawnpaw awkwardly got to her feet, and nervously looked up at Velvetstar to see if she'd seen.

"Hello, Rive," Thornheart said, yawning. "Yes, it appears the pack has decided to have a party in the woods without us, huh? How have you been?" The old she-dog didn't care much for ranks, and preferred to treat everyone evenly, though she knew she was in the minority. Thornheart actually quite liked Rive, and her good-natured acceptance of the world. She was oftentimes good company at times like this, when the rest of the pack had gone off.
