Viperpaw crashed into the medicine cat's den. "What happened!" she screamed, running to Snowpaw's side and shoving her friend hard. "Wake up! You have to wake up!"
Cliffclaw had seen the situation and gone to explain it to Sunstar. The leader and deputy entered the den together. Though both were silent, Cliffclaw's tail drooped and his ears were flat against his head. "No, no, no..." he murmured. He approached the body and took a sniff.
"I don't think it's a fox..." he said, lips curling back in a snarl. "Sunstar, take a look at this."
Sunstar approached to examine the apprentice's wounds and the scent on her. "I was only an apprentice when the dogs attacked, but this scent is too familiar," she explained. "We need to have a meeting now."
