The sun had begun to sink and Fallenstar felt pride in how much she had caught, the bush behind her rustled it's dead leaves giving away what hid inside it. She spun around her back fluffed up expecting something to lunge at her, instead out squirmed Greykit, Badgerkit and Frostkit.
"What in the name of starclan are you three doing out here in this weather!" Fallenstar hissed, the three held up their small catches proudly and Fallenstars eyes softened.
"Sorry Fallenstar we just wanted to help," Greykit barked softly, his sister and brother placed their catches down and held their heads low apologetically.
"It's alright, but you shouldn't be out here it's dangerous for little ones like you," Fallenstar purred nudging her kin, a twig snapping behind her made Fallenstar jump. There stood one of the strange dogs its eyes narrowed and Its larger white teeth glowing like the moon, the kits hid behind Fallenstar all except Greykit he leapt in front of the scared group his eyes narrow and his teeth bared. The strange dog began to bark softly to Greykit who snarled his answers, after a few minutes the larger of the two left.
"Fallenstar how come I could understand it but you all looked confused?" Greykit questioned sitting down, Fallenstar sighed.
"I don't know Greykit, what did it say?" Fallenstar meowed nuzzling the frightened kits, Greykit shook a falling flake off his nose.
"She asked me what I was doing so far from the pack, I told her I was apart of a clan and not a strange looking dog, she then laughed at me and called me a strange little wolf pup, what's a wolf?" Greykit questioned after he finished explaining, Fallenstar sat there for a moment thinking.
"Well from what I can tell a wolf is what that strange dog is, and well we did find you out in the forest when you were simply a newborn almost, that would explain why you could understand her," Fallenstar sighed, Greykit shook his head.
"I don't care what I am I'm a clanmate and will continue to serve the clan until my dying breath," Greykit growled, Fallenstar began to purr and nuzzled him as he rushed to cuddle into her thick fur.
"Shhhh it's ok now let's get you back to camp so we can show your mother your catch hmm," Fallenstar purred, the four began to head back to camp carrying their kills as snow began to fall. The rest of the hunting patrol had already returned and at the sight of her missing kits Echomist rushed over and nuzzled each of them, Fallenstar took the prey and put it on the fresh-kill pile. After doing that Fallenstar leapt onto high ledge and sat there, after the clan stopped fussing over the kits they sat down beneath the ledge.
"Cats of Treeclan, today I have figured out what those strange dogs are, they call themselves wolves, a large female as Greykit identifies her as didn't harm us merely passed by, let us hope they leave soon when prey gets harder to find or I will personally find where they have made a den and drive them out myself!" Fallenstar yowled, the clan joined in yowling in agreement. Fallenstar caught sight of two pairs of eyes watching from the top of the canyon before vanishing, Fallenstar wasn't even sure she saw two pairs of eyes. She shook it off and leapt down to play with the kits, the rest of the clan got back to what they were doing fortifying the dens incase of an attack. Snow had begun to fall heavily now so the kits were put back in the nursery, Fallenstar retreated into her den until the snow cleared.

************

The sun began to set by the time it stopped snowing, the sunhigh patrol and the moonhigh patrol left together as it was to snow later that night. Fallenstar decided to join them needing another break from her responsibilities for a little while, with so many cats out of camp it was risky but Fallenstar couldn't risk any of her warriors getting injured since leaf-bare had only just begun. The large group travelled for a little while marking the borders as they went, as the night began to get darker Fallenstar couldn't shake the feeling she was being watched. The patrol began to grow uneasy and went on high alert, Fallenstar looked up at the sky hoping for her clans safety. The patrol soon turned back for camp, it was now moonhigh when they got back to camp, Fallenstar trudged through the snow to her den. She leapt up onto high ledge and padded into her den, it was times like now she missed her mate and friends the most. She curled up in her nest enjoying the protection from the cold wind that blew over the canyon, Fallenstar slowly fell asleep listening to the wind howling above the canyon.
