About a moon passed since we joined, we were having so much fun we didn't notice Brambleclaw and Squirrelflight go to find loose only looked up when panicked warriors pounded into camp. I guess it's the foxes. Spiderleg and Thornclaw were so scared. Firestar then asked,"What's going on?" Spiderleg took a deep breath and panted,"There's a dead fox on our territory." Jaykit, Lionkit, and Hollykit were shocked. I just stood there with Cedarkit and Petalkit. We all read this book. Firestar was tense,"Where?" he asked. Thornclaw mewed, panting,"By the Sky Oak. It was killed by a trap." Brambleclaw and Squirrelflight scrambled into camp. Brambleclaw then asked,"What's going on?" "Thornclaw and Spiderleg have found a dead fox," Firestar explained. "Killed by a trap." Male or female?" Squirrelflight asked "Female," Spiderleg told her. "Then there may be cubs," Brambleclaw growled. Jaykit was puzzled. "What harm can a couple of fox cubs do?" he whispered to Hollykit. "Cubs grow up into foxes, mouse-brain!" she hissed back. "An adult fox can kill a cat." I almost snapped at Hollykit, but I didn't, not with the fox cubs in the territory."The fox had the scent of milk on her," Thornclaw reported. "So there are definitely cubs," Firestar concluded. The warriors' den rattled as Ashfur scrambled out. "Where was this trap?" Brambleclaw asked. Thornclaw's answer broke into his thoughts. "The trap is lakeside of the camp, not far from the Sky Oak." "The cubs must be near," Brambleclaw guessed. "Their mother will not have wandered far from them." Ferncloud poked her head out of the nursery. Her eyes full of should we do?" Ferncloud had asked. "We can't let the forest be overrun by foxes! What about my kits?" "We must find the den," Brambleclaw replied without hesitation. Firestar and Brambleclaw sorted out positions and went on with the asked if we could go, but Brambleclaw said no and for us to guard camp. We sulked for a moment. Then Jaykit then mewed quietly,"We should go try to find the fox cubs!" Hollykit was against it. Warrior code. Kits can't leave camp without a warrior. Lionkit nodded. "We'll be protecting Foxkit and Icekit," I meowed. Cedarkit glared at me. Along with Petalkit. I shrugged,"It needs to happen." I told them. Jaykit smiled,"Let's go!" he meowed quietly to us. We looked around and Ashfur was guarding camp. "Let's go through the dirt-place tunnel. So we're not caught. And it'll cover our scent." I mewed. So we did. Nobody saw us. We exited camp and slid into the forest. Everybody was far from us. " "Follow me." Lionkit mewed to us. We soon found the tunnel. We squeezed inside and heard the whimper of the fox cubs. Lionkit hissed and soon we all did. The cubs started growling and came at us. We dashed out and ran away from the tunnel. I stayed with Jaykit. Cedarkit stayed with Lionkit, and Petalkit stayed with Hollykit. I grabbed Jaykit's scruff and he yowled. But between his fur I meowed,"It's just me." It was muffled but he knewit was me. I saw the cliff a few tail-lengths ahead of me and I turned. The fox cub didn't stop chasing us. I stopped, and put Jaykit down. I turned, unsheathed my claws and clawed the fox cub's face. Jaykit bounded to me and clawed the fox cub's face too, but just barely. Blood trickled down it's face, it turned and ran. I hissed at it and turned to Jaykit. He stood there, shaking. I grabbed his scruff again and found the dirt-place tunnel I got through and slid inside th camp. Petalkit, Hollykit, Cedarkit, and Lionkit were already back. They stood a quarter of a tail-length from us. I snuck towards them and put Jaykit down. He was blushing. Nobody saw us. We stood there, protecting the dirtplace tunnel from the other fox cub. Daisy padded by and nodded to us. We sighed she didn;t suspect a thing. Just thinking we were 'protecting' the camp. Firestar and other warriors bounded into camp, yowling about how the fox cubs are gone. We all cheered, the cubs were gone and we could go to sleep. Us 6 were the only cats to know about the experiance. Only 2 of them fought a fox cub, and only 1 saved Jaykit's life.
Lionkit and Cedarkit were play fighting when she scratched his ear. He yowled and ran to Leafpool. She treated it, but he had to stay in the medicine cat den. Hollykit watched with amazed eyes. She then padded over to me and mewed, "I want to be a medicine cat!" I looked at her and meowed,"No Jaykit would be better." She hissed and stalked off. Her tail waving prissily. I hissed, I hate girls like that. Jaykit bounded over to me. Hollykit turned back to see Jaykit nuzzle me. She gasped. And I knew that was bad.
