Mistypaw swallowed. The leader's rough voice did not go unnoticed by her. She didn't enter the den yet, but just waited outside.
"I..." she started, not being able to bring words out of her mouth. She'd just had an empty feeling inside since she heard of Stormtalon's dissapearance. Everyone presuming that he was dead.
To be honest with herself, Mistypaw didn't
want to believe that he was dead. However, the apprentice knew that it must be true. Why would Stormtalon wander off, to never return to RiverClan again?
He was such a loyal warrior, Mistypaw knew he wouldn't do that. Or would he? Maybe he had been captured...
"I wanted to talk to you about Stormtalon," Mistypaw meowed, her words coming out as choked. She was really nervous about this approach. Kestrelstar had been good friends with Stormtalon... what if she made him angry?
The she-cat wanted to pace around, let go of her nervousness, but she just stayed in front of Kestrelstar's den as if frozen in place. Mistypaw felt like she couldn't move. Instead, a wave of grief overwhelmed her, taking charge of her. Stormtalon couldn't be gone. He just couldn't be!
