Lotuspaw watched in horror as his best friend jumped onto the fox, refusing to let go. The fox began to shake its head violently, attempting to throw Ivypaw off. "IVYPAW!" He yowled desperately. She's going to die! He thought, terror petrifying him.
Applepaw heard a faint yowling noise. Iwonder what that could be. She thought curiously. She caught a familiar cat scent and assumed it was Ashstar and Whitestone. I should tell them about what I heard. She decided. The caramel colored apprentice began following her leader's scent.

"All right," Whitestone meowed. He began to pad off, only to run into Applepaw. The caramel-colored she-cat looked terrified. "Applepaw," Whitestone asked, "what's wrong?" Obviously, something was. But what? he thought. All he knew is that it was dangerous, for sure, whatever it was.

"I-I heard a yowling noise," Applepaw answered, stuttering. "And it sounded like Lotuspaw. I think Lotuspaw and Ivypaw are in trouble."

Ashstar glanced back at Whitestone every once in a while, and when she saw the familar pelt of Applepaw she wondered what in the world was wrong.
Hearing the apprentice speak she shot a worried look to the warrior. "Applepaw, I want you to go into the warriors den and wake up Frostwind. I don't care what his complaint is, tell him he better move or I will claw his fur off." the leader meowed. "Tell him to hurry." she added. She lifted her nose and began to run toward the scent of Lotuspaw and Ivypaw.

Applepaw nodded before dashing off with all the speed she could muster. I have to get there in time. There must be something wrong if Ashstar would tell me to wake up Frostwind this early! She thought.
(I had to add a bit of humor in there XD)

"Hurry, Applepaw," Whitestone meowed. "Ivypaw and Lotuspaw might be in danger." StarClan knows what, the tom thought. Maybe it was a fox, or something. He shared a glance with Ashstar for a moment, sharing a quick glance. After a moment, he tore his gaze away from the she-cat. "Ashstar," he finally meowed. "I've got something to ask you." His voice was shaking, and any cat could tell he was nervous. [/size][/center] |

The fox continued to thrash around violently. Ivypaw had to fight to remain consicious. "Lotuspaw, get out of here!" She managed to yowl through her grip on the fox.
"No! I won't leave you!" He mewed back stubbornly.
"I didn't jump on a fox just so you could sit there for it to kill you once it's done with me! GET OUT OF HERE!" Ivypaw yowled.
That's when the reality hit Lotuspaw. It. Will. Kill. Her. Ivypaw, his best friend. Anger and rage boiled inside of him. Without thinking about it, Lotuspaw launched himself at the fox, gripping onto it on the opposite side of Ivypaw.
"YOU IDIOT!" Ivypaw yowled through her teeth. "Now we're both doomed!"
"Well I wasn't going to let you die!" Lotuspaw argued.

Ashstar really did have to be going insane if she wanted to have Frostwind awoken. He was a strong warrior, and she knew that whatever the problem was with the apprentices, he would be one of the best backup cats.
She stopped dead in her tracks when she heard Whitestone mention that he needed to ask her something. "What is it?" Now this was something that made the she-cat wonder.

Whitestone swallowed nervously. I knew it was going to end like this. You're going to look like a complete idiot, you know, and... The tom decided to stop beating himself up, and just decided to spit it out.
"Ashstar," he meowed quietly. "Will you… will you be my mate?"
And for some reason, he didn't regret what he said. [/center][/size] |

If Ashstar had not stopped a few moments previous, she would have probably tripped over her paws and fallen flat on her face. She tilted her head to the side and shook it several times. Did she just hear Whitestone right or had she gone mental again? Both were possible.
The gray she-cat stared at the tom intently, her mouth wide open. If she didn't look stupid before, she did now. "Wha?" she asked, the first word to come out of her mouth. Well, it wasn't a complete word, it was more of a studder/complete astonished sound.
The tom that she had felt something for was asking for her to be his mate. Was this real, or fantasy? "I would love to." she murmered smiling at the white tom.

Whitestone let out a small, exhaled breath, which was supposed to be a contented sigh. He dipped his head in a ceremonious sort of way, then sat down. Thank StarClan, he thought. I thought she didn't like me at all, and would have said no, but I…but I did it. He was about to turn to Ashstar to ask about the apprentices, but thought better. It wouldn't be a good time to talk now. [/size] |

Ashstar sat and stared at Whitestone for the longest time. Did she really just agree to being his mate? Did the word just slip out of her mouth? She was glad that was out of the way, she had feelings for this tom, feelings she could never explain. Her head was spinning with thoughts, but she had to focus on the one most important right now. The apprentices.
"Now the hard decision is to go ahead and face whatever Lotuspaw and Ivypaw are facing, or should we wait for Frostwind and Applepaw to come back." she murmered thinking the dilema outloud.
"If we wait, the apprentices could be killed, but if we go now, we might be outnumbered. Either way is a huge risk." The leader looked up to the sky and sighed. "Father, what would you do?" she whispered.
Ashstar's mind quickly began to think out the scenarios. "We better hurry and find them." she announced, getting back onto her paws and running after the scent of the apprentices.

"All right. I guess Frostwind and Applepaw will find us somewhere, but we should worry about that now…" Whitestone meowed, trailing behind Ashstar. He tried to shove all of the other thoughts out of his mind, and just focused on the apprentices, who were obviously in some danger.
Whitestone could hear a fox barking ahead of the two. No! Not a fox... those apprentices don't stand a chance! We need to fetch them, and fast... he thought, a desperate tone echoing in his head. [/size][/center] |

"Lotuspaw, I'm begging you! Leave! Save yourself!" Ivypaw pleaded. I'm doomed and I don't want this to all be for nothing! He needs to live!
"Never!" Lotuspaw spat. He was amazed that the fox hadn't shaken them off yet. Where there's a will there's a way.

Ashstar made it into the area where Lotuspaw and Ivypaw were with the creature. She froze when she saw what exactly it was. Her greatest fear had come to life. Not a fox!
"Ivypaw, Lotuspaw, I want you two to get off and come over here, before we do anything." She managed to say with a shaky voice. How was she suppose to do this? She should have waited for Frostwind. After all, he had fought one off the one before. Even though that was so long ago, it still was just yesterday in her mind.
"Whitestone, don't make any sudden movements. We need to get the apprentices away from the fox before we do anything. If we go in and charge it, they will get hurt. Hopefully they are able to get away on their own, if not then we are about to have a battle." she said, in almost a whisper.
