Prologue
A lone cry pierced the peaceful silence that had enveloped the ShineClan camp. Startled from their dozing, the warriors started to rise to their paws to look around. A half moon shone brilliantly in the gathering darkness of the night sky.
"Where's Minkpaw?!" A shockingly white queen with bright red eyes yowled near the center of camp. The other warriors turned to look in her direction.
She was standing over a massive crimson stain in the grass. The dirt was sliced through with long, sharp claws. Minkpaw's scent hung faintly in the air.
"That's another apprentice gone," one of the other white pelted warriors muttered under their breath.
"How could you say that? Minkpaw never goes off on her own!" The queen shouted, her voice raised in panic, "something must have gotten her! Why else would the ground be covered in blood?"
A very large, thick muscled white tom padded towards her. He looked down at the stain and the claw marks, even taking a moment to try and catch an unknown scent.
"Scarletpool, I don't think it was any predator who did this," the tom said slowly, "the only thing I can actually smell is you."
She flicked her tail, narrowing her eyes. "Well of course you can! I'm standing right next to you," she snapped, her voice cracking with tension.
"Minkpaw was our only apprentice remaining. With Frondpaw and Wetpaw's disappearance only a couple of sunrises ago... Perhaps we should just assume that they have run off together," he reasoned. The other warriors started to slowly nod, agreeing with what he had to say.
"But, the blood... you can't tell me that Minkpaw really just ran away. She was all I had left, Fogstar," her voice was growing weak with defeat. Fogstar touched her side with his tail, looking down at her with his sharp yellow eyes.
"You still have us, Scarletpool. We may not be your mate or kits, but we all still care for you." Fogstar gently licked the top of her head as she finally relaxed and leaned into his fur.
The other warriors started to chime in from their positions, "yeah, we will take care of you!", "All we need is each other!", "You can always rely on us!"
Scarletpool's eyes were misted with tears. Her grief for her only kit's disappearance and joy at her clanmates' love and loyalty were sweeping over her. She felt herself starting to accept Minkpaw's mysterious departure.
"Maybe when we meet with SlateClan at the gathering, they will have seen something of Minkpaw and the others," Fogstar pointed out.
"Maybe.." Scarletpool sighed. She turned away from her leader, and the quickly fading scent of her daughter. As soon as Fogstar padded away to return to his nest, the stain of spilt blood on the grass started to sink into the dirt. In moments, it had gone without even a trace of what had happened to poor Minkpaw.
