Something wasn't right. The warriors den was practically half empty. Lavendersong was gone already, but where was Shockhoney? After their reunion the previous day, he had promised that he wouldn't leave her side. So what if something happened to her? Standing frozen in front of the warriors den, Creepingpaw felt his white chest tighten at the sight of Shockhoney's spot in the den looking completely empty. With claws digging deep into the earth below and his black ears flattening against his skull, the silver and black adorned tom parted his jaws slightly in an attempt to catch his breath, but it felt as though he'd been jabbed in the stomach and had no room for air. The panic was setting in and wrapping it's deceitful tendrils around Creepingpaw's body, it was the first time in awhile that he'd felt this familiar pang of helplessness. But it was different this time. He couldn't help but feel he had failed his only friend.
Refusing to believe what was right in front of him, Creepingpaw shut his wide and vibrant green eyes tightly before shaking his head vigorously to snap back to reality. Now wasn't the time to lose it. Gritting his teeth, Creepingpaw paused briefly at the sound of Willowpaw's announcement. Sick cats needing bedding? Then surely Willowpaw might know what happened to Shockhoney right? The 11 moon old tom whipped around sharply and raced quickly towards the congregating group of cats. Creepingpaw hissed with frustration as he wove through the cluster of his clanmates until he finally reached Willowpaw. With a wild streak of desperation flashing in his eyes, the agitated egyptian mau frantically approached Willowpaw, his voice tense and stern,
"Willowpaw, where did the sick cats go? What happened to Shockhoney?" Creepingpaw questioned, his striped and spotted fur bristled with hysteria.
