Chapter Eleven - Sacrifice
Hawkfrost's P.O.V
Hawkfrost practically ran down the hallway as he tried to find Leafpool. What if she was dead or dying right now? He could hear police and ambulance sirens outside the school. I can't count on them, Hawkfrost thought. He suddenly ran into something, causing both him and it to fall. "Damn it! Get off of me!"
Hawkfrost knew that voice. It was Brambleclaw, his half-brother. "Brambleclaw, what are you still doing in here? They evacuated." Hawkfrost asked. Brambleclaw gave him a look, "I just wanted to make sure everyone was out. What are you doing?" Hawkfrost stood and helped Brambleclaw up. "I'm looking for Leafpool. Have you seen her?" he asked. Brambleclaw shook his head, "No. But I'll help you look. Last I saw her, she was going into Mrs. Hira's room." Hawkfrost grabbed his brother's wrist and started running in that direction.
They finally came to the room. The door had been kicked in. Hawkfrost saw who he guessed was the shooter standing, with his rifle pointed Leafpool. Without thought, Hawkfrost ran at the man and punch him in the face. They began fighting and the man dropped the rifle. Hawkfrost saw Brambleclaw hurry to pick it up and aimed at the shooter. Leafpool was yelling at him not to misfire. The gun went off.
The last thing Hawkfrost heard was Leafpool's horrified cry.
