The sun was dropping towards the horizon by the time Pinefall and his patrol arrived back at camp.
They were dragging a limp, white, body.
"Blossompetal!"Ferngaze cried, hurrying over to the small group of cats.
A gray cat with dark spots and light blue eyes appeared. "I'll call a meeting."
Pinefall nodded at the tom and turned to Ferngaze. "I'm sorry for your loss. Blossompetal was a great cat."
Ferngaze whimpered. "She was my only sister."
Hollyshade turned her attention to high-rock as a yowl rang out, gathering cats who cast glances towards the body.
"As you all can probably tell, Blossompetal was found dead, hanging from a tree." The blue-eyed tom started.
"We will all sit with our fallen warrior for the last time tonight." He waved his tail. "That is all."
A ginger tabby tom piped up. "Was there any clue as to who killed her, Ashstar?"
Ashstar looked down at the cat who had spoken up. "There was no scent, Fireblaze."
