Moonlight and Sunshadow ran as fast as their legs could carry them through the forest, rain pouring down on them, lighting striking in the distance. Every second they could hear the loud clap of thunder, which startled them greatly. Moonlight stopped. "Wait," she said, her eyes tracking down Sunshadow's mangled and bloody pelt, then dashed into a bush, looking for the correct herbs to help her brother. "No," he said. "That'll only slow us down. Let's keep running."
Moonlight sighed, but nodded. "Fine," she said. "But you'll get infections if you run around like this." For a moment, the tom's eyes went dull, then his head snapped up. "Lightpelt felt worse," he choked. "She died." This made his sister silent, and they both slowly started to run again. After a few moments, they stopped, not because of Sunshadow nor his sister. Blocking their path were two red foxes....
