“im sorry.. we haven seen him, but i can ask otterstar for permission to send out a patrol to look for him with you” they said as they looked around the camp for otterstar
<there!> they thought as they noticed otterstar talking with the clan’s newest member dawnspeck at the other edge of the camp
”please wait here” they said as they walked over to the two cats
”thank you for telling me this.. you may now contiune on with your day” otterstar said to dawnspeck who got up and was about to leave before she noticed smokeghost.. she gave them a small nod before leaving the camp
”otterstar, do you have a moment?” they asked as they approached
he nodded as an answer ”what is it?” he asked
”well… im not sure how to put this…i need permission to create a patrol to help out someone to find their friend” they said as they looked at the ground scared of what otterstar might think
”oh..well you have my permission, i suggest you take eveningspirit and sundust with you as i think everyone else is busy with their other duties” he said with a soft voice
”i know we dont know each other that well and being a deputy is a huge responsibility, but i trust you as my deputy and as a friend” he said , he had noticed smokeghost avoiding talking to him and so he wanted to assure them that even if they dont know each other well they should trust each other
”thank you otterstar, ill go get the patrol ready.. can you let duskflame know that i want to talk to her after i get back, i havent seen her at all today”
”yes ofcourse” otterstar meowed as smokeghost walked towards the warriors den
as they walked into the warriors den they saw sundust and copperstrike cleaning eachothers furs
”um..sundust, i need you on a patrol to look for furzetufts friend” smokeghost said, it was awkward for them to interrupt the two cats moment
”oh, okay ill come in a sec” sundust said as he looked at smokeghost
smokeghost nodded and as they walked out of the den they noticed eveningspirit just outside the scouts den
”Eveningspirit!” they meowed as the trotted over to them
”oh! hello smokeghost!” eveningspirit meowed as smokeghost got to them
”i need you on a patrol to look for furzetufts friend with me and sundust” smokeghost said
”alright, do we leave now or?” eveningspirit asked
”well leave in a short while, we just need to wait for sundust, ill go let furzetuft know that we will help her” they said as they gave eveningspirit a quick hug
as they walked over to furzetuft they smiled ”me,eveningspirit and sundust will be helping you find your friend!” they said in a bit happier tone , they were glad to be helping furzetuft
**at the same time with duskflame and cloudchaser,somewhere quiet near the camp**
“what are you going to name them?” cloudchaser asked as he looked at the small kit who was sleeping next to duskflame
“i…i dont know..me and sootstar were going to decide on a name togehter..i-“ her eyes started to fill with tears again
“duskflame…look at me, i know this is hard for you..i know it hurst losing a loved one..but you need to stay strong for your kits…i know this may not help at the moment very much …but please stay strong..if you want to im always here, i will listen to everything you have to say” cloudchaser said as he tried to reassure duskflame to stay strong
duskflame nodded as they took a few deep breaths…
“ill name them sparrowkit” she said as she looked up at cloudchaser
“should we return to the camp…just so sparrowkit can be saver” they asked
cloudchaser sighed “i suppose we should, but you need to rest for a bit before that, ill wake you up if something comes up” he said as he walked to the small dens entrance
**with the search patrol**
smokeghost,evening spirit and sundust had left the clans camp with furzetuft and they were trying to look for furzetuft’s friend Gorcegorge
“do you see or smell anything that could give us a clue to where he could be?” sundust asked
“theres nothing here” smokeghost said as they walked back from the bushes
“have you found anything eveningspirit?” they asked as they turned to look at evening spirit
“nope…nothing here at all” eveningspirit said as they walked out of the old abandoned twolegs nest
“where should we-“ smokeghost was about to ask but then they stopped mid sentence.. their ears twitched
“smokeghost? what is it?” sundust asked
they shook their head“theres something that way!” they said as they started running towards ruins lake
the others followed them into the bushes
