Newtnose's fur spiked up in surprise when her apprentice came bursting into camp, chest heaving and eyes wild. "Palepaw-" She was about to scold him for scaring the living daylights out of her, but stopped short when he frantically cried out.
Iceyeyes? The worst case scenarios began running through her mind in an instant. Silently praying that her suspicions were wrong, Newtnose wasted no time in following after Blastclaws as he dashed out of camp, her heart steadily pounding faster and faster as the seconds ticked by. Maybe, if they got there in time, there'd be a chance that she could be saved...?
Arriving on the scene, Newtnose pressed her muzzle against the drenched shecat's body in an attempt to check for any sign of life, only to recoil at the spine-chilling coldness that met her. Stumbling backwards, Newtnose's wide eyes, stretched by disbelief, glanced mournfully at Blastclaws, then jumped back to what remained of Iceyeyes.
"Oh, Starclan, no, no, no, we were wrong about Lilyfoot," Newtnose shook her head, her shocked expression morphing to a horrified one. They had exiled an innocent cat, and because of it, another life had been lost.
