For Sunken of Maple. =)
"Have you seen Owlpaw?" I asked Rockfoot who just said: "No." with a "who cares" expression on his face.
I waved him off and continued to ask everyone in camp if they have seen Owlpaw.
I didn't usually worry about Owlpaw since I knew that he could take care of himself, but ever since last night, by the lake, he hasn't returned to camp.
The weird thing about this is no one even noticed. Not even his family noticed that he was gone. It's like no one actually cared about him except for me.
I could see Goldstar eating a rabbit near his den and padded over to him. Maybe he knows where Owlpaw is. I thought.
"Umm….Goldstar." I said.
He lifted up his head and looked at me. "Yes?" He asked.
"Well I was just wondering…Have you seen Owlpaw?" I said hoping he would say yes. I was really worried about him.
"Umm…who?" He asked. I was devastated when I heard this. Not only did he not know where Owlpaw is. He didn't even know who Owlpaw was and to think I call him leader.
"Never mind." I said frustrated.
Maybe he fell asleep near the lake. I thought as I walked away.
I walked through the forest as fast as I can. His got to be there. I thought to myself. I just know it.
Soon I arrived at the lake and scanned the area. The lake looked peaceful as usual but there was no sign of him.
"Owlpaw!" I shouted.
I continued looking around trying to look for any sign of him. Suddenly I a brown blur near the shore and stood still. I could feel my heart racing and cried:
"Owlpaw!"
I raced towards the blurs direction hoping it wasn't what I think. Please be okay.
I slowed down and when I neared it I could feel my heart drop from devastation. On the shore lay the body of my best friend. Unmoving and resting peacefully on the sand.
"Owlpaw." I said as I tried nudging him as if I was trying to wake him up. I was hoping it wasn't what I think but my hopes were fading.
"Owlpaw." I whispered.
"Owlpaw!" I then cried as I buried my face on his fur. His body was cold and I knew that I couldn't do anything for him anymore. I could feel tears streaming down my eyes.
"I'm sorry Owlpaw" I choked. "I should have never left. I should have been a better friend."
Please review. =)
