i look at him pleadingly, and he gasps.

"you...you did that to her!....you fox-heart!" he screams, throwing himself on russetclaw. the two toms slash at each other with pure venom. i stand there, frozen in fear.

after russetclaw giving blazecloud a hard blow to the neck, he crumples.

"NO!" i shriek, running to his body.

i hear a chuckle.
