Shadowclaw sniffed in the direction he saw her leave. He followed her sent all the way to the edge of the woods. He stopped. His thoughts were rushing. A tear ran down his cheek. He was worried about minttail.
Shadowclaw followed her sent unroll it stopped he could not find her. Another tear ran down his face. He laid down near where the sent had ended. He laid his head in his paws. He kept looking around but still could not find her. He sighed. He did not see the foxhole.
Shadowclaw perked his ears up. He heard something familiar. The cry of minttail. He looked around again. Looking more carefully this time. He fixed his eyes on what seemed to be a hole in the ground. He got closer to it quietly making sure there was nothing deadly in it.
Shadowclaw stuck his nose inside the den hoping the thing there did not see. He smelt minttail. He sniffed up the tears and wiped his cheek dry. His eyes were still red from crying. "Mintail?" He said in a scratchy voice.
