Shallowpaw got lost trying to find the dock. He shut his eyes tight and concentrated. 'Think, Shallowpaw... Come on, voices, come on...' He couldn't hear them anywhere in his head now.
What had just happened.
He stumbled into a meadow, confused and afraid. Those voices just came and go. Where had they come from and why couldn't he make them go away now?
Finally bringing himself together, he walked a bit further. Out in the distance he could see Tanglemask and...someone else, he couldn't see quite that far. They were holding what looked like fresh kill, but it was squirming madly. A baby...?
Suddenly, a giant raccoon came out of nowhere and hissed at him. Shallowpaw jumped and stumbled, trying to get away. How had he not sensed it before hand?!
The raccoon jumped on him and started to scratch all around his face, mostly his nose. He yelped out in pain and tried to fight back but he couldn't; he wasn't fast enough. The raccoon must have been a mom...
He could feel her hot breath but started to lose the scent of it, or the scent of anything really.
