"The Nothingness eats everything... I'm not going to keep you here...and for a good reason." He was silent and then nodded. "You may leave. Next time, don't count on it." His eerie laugh echoed after he blew away.
Scarletpaw padded back into camp, carrying a leaf with something wrapped up inside it. She was grinning, the leaf gripped firmly in her teeth. Her blue eyes were sparkling, her black claws unsheathed.
