A few minutes passed. "Someone should go get Firestar. He'll want to know what happened." Birdpelt ordered. Springpaw nodded. "I'll do it!" she mewed. Standing, she padded quietly into the leader's den. "Firestar?" she called. There was no answer. She called louder, still receiving silence. She dashed out, almost slamming into Graystripe. "Where is Firestar?" she mewled urgently. Before Graystripe could answer, Firestar walked into the clearing. "Graystripe, tell the Queens that they shouldn't let their kits out. I have been speaking to Princess, and she told me that her two-legs have been bringing in kits from the forest." Springpaw looked around nervously. "Um… Mousefur took the kits on a trip, to show them around. Moonkit says two-legs came and took Mousefur and the other kits. He hid in a bush." Firestar's eye's widened in alarm. He turned to Graystripe. "Organize all of the best warriors and meet me by the entrance!"
"Cloudtail, Brackenfur, Sorreltail, Brambleclaw, and..." his eyes swept the clearing, "Dustpelt. Meet Firestar at the entrance. We're going to get the kits back." They all bounded over to Firestar. He looked over them, making sure they had enough, and stalked out of the clearing, his faithful warriors trailing behind him.
