Hazelpaw was out hunting when she heard screeching and smelt the scent of badger by the Training hollow. Her heart pounding, she ran towards the sounds of the caterwoul, to find her clanmates battling a badger, with Thrushleap almost unconsious, with only Spottedtail between the beast and the dying cat. Hazelpaw leaped into the cluster and dragged Thrushleap out of the mass. She layed her clanmate on a patch of grass, enclosed with brambles. The apprentice went back to the fight and a call for breakingwish passed her lips. "Breakingwish! Go help Thrushleap! I'll fill in!" she meowed before she leapt into the fight.
Hazelpaw ran back to Thrushleap, her heart leaping out of her chest. She crouched beside her clanmate. "Thrushleap? Can you hear me?" Hazelpaw asked. She sounded strangely calm, even though on the inside, she wanted to be back and in the safe nursery, like when she was a kit.
