Chapter Five: A Pawprint in Time

Rainpool stretched his legs in as he came out of the warrior's den. He yawned. He was finaly allowed to go out, and he had somthing on his mind. Had Darkstar killed Littlestar? He decided to find out more. Silvertail seemed a reasonable choice to try and squeeze somthing out of. She was Hollyheart's sister, and she couldn't keep her mouth shut.

"Silvertail, Can I ask you something?" He asked, trying to sound official.

"Sure, what?" Said Silvertail.

"Follow me." Rainpool said. The two cats paced out of camp and into the desert.

"What do you know about Littlestar's death?" Rainpool asked as soon as they were out of sight.

"Darkstar, or Darkheart, as she was called then, Sunstorm, or Sunpaw as she was, and Littlestar were on the dawn patrol. Darkstar said she heard coyotes, and told Sunstorm slash Sunpaw to go back to camp. Littlestar and Darkstar went on. Then Darkstar came back into camp an anounced that Littlestar had been killed by coyotes. She did seem kind of happy. That's all I know. You should ask Sunstorm." Silvertail said. Rainpool sighed. Another cat.

"Well, you can go. Thanks." Rainpool said. Next, he would try Sunstorm.

"What do you know about Littlestar?" Rainpool asked Sunstorm once they got out. He decided to learn more about the former leader as well.

"Well, She was a tall, thin white she-cat. She had blue eyes and a really long tail." Sunstorm said. She wasn't very discriptive.

"What about her death?" Rainpool promted.

"Well, She was killed by coyotes, sayd Darkstar. But I saw Darkstar lay claw on Littlestar. I saw her deliver a deathblow. I questined her about it. First she denied it, but then she said that she ment to hit a coyote, but missed. But Darkstar's realy good with blows and wouldn't miss. I's still suspcious." Sunstorm said.

"Thanks." Rainpool's eyes shone. Finaly, a pawprint in time.
