Bumblestar might be doubting Mudhound but the rest of the group got it!!!! The tripods jaw went slack at the abject refusal, hornet looking offended as they gestured to the other cats who felt the presence with a flailing paw.

"I saw a headless cat Bumble-sis!!! I saw it, Im not trying to freak cats out I really saw it, its out there right now!!"
Mudhound could still feel its not-eyes in their back!

This place was totally haunted and they should move to a nice not-evil beach, the maine coon was certain! A thought that was proven right by what happened next.

A ghost, a real headless ghost that was chARGING RIGHT AT MUDHOUND!!!!!

Fight or flight was real and with Wolfpaw at their side and the ghost coming right at them both fight won out, not that it did much. This was a ghost and nothing the living could do could touch him, even as the hound tried, desperate and howling (honestly more of yipe-ing) to protect their puppy.
It was fitting really, that for little Wolfpaw, and thus now he was doomed to it forever, not that he'd know for a bit.

Ok so fight failed and the untouchable ghost was veering towards Bumblestar, time for flight. Bumblestar had lives to spare after all and Mudhound had a newly crippled kiddo to protect so priorities.

Wolfpaw was grabbed by the scruff and the hornet was gone, poof, bolted, vanished, ran. There were GHOSTS here man, nopenopenopenopenopenopeNOPE! Everyone else could deal with this Mudhound would be meeting them at the next location with Wolfpaw safe and NOT CURSED!

Great, now everyone WAS panicking. Awesome, wonderful, thank you so much, sibling. Bumblestar grumbled a curse under her breath and was about to snap at the others to relax when the woods suddenly erupted.

A flash of too-fast movement caught the corner of her eye, and Bumblestar whipped around to face it. Her hackles spiked as she spotted exactly what Mudhound was screaming about charging right for them - or maybe it was toward her, she couldn't tell, but fight had always taken precedence over flight, and she wasn't about to risk this gorey sight of a spirit making contact with any of her Clanmates.

It was a split-second decision. She lunged forward to meet the spirit, hardly thinking about how this would even work as she carved her claws toward the spouting stump where its head should have been. It vanished right as she made contact (or at least as much contact she could make with something non-corporeal) and she skidded to a halt, tail whipping back and forth as she scanned the trees for anything else before she spun in time to see Mudhound snatch Wolfpaw and run.

Her expression contorted. "MUDHOUND! GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE NOW IF YOU DON'T WANNA BE STUCK IN CAMP FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!!" There was a reason she said to stick together! They didn't know this territory, and now her sibling had grabbed one of her apprentices and taken off!!
