Splashleap had know her patrol at least had failed in its goal, but all of them, no sign anywhere........that was not good, not good at all. And the coyotes.........if they were really what had killed both their leader and deputy then they needed to die. Die, and get out of the forest forever and never come back. Unsheathing her claws she allowed them to dig into the dirt, and she almost wished they were sinking into flesh. Not cat flesh, but the murderous beasts flesh. Her eyes began to narrow and her fur puffed, before she shook her head vigorously. No, she did not want to be a murderous nutter. That wouldn't help anyone. But she did hope that she would get a chance to hurt a coyote, to avenge Sootstar and Stormcall. No one deserved to be eaten.

Twigpaw's fur puffed at the thought of coyotes, cat eating ones, in their territory. Bad, very, very bad. Looking at Snakepaw though, and then Foxblaze, he felt something else. Jealousy. His brother was up there, on the rock, his YOUNGER brother, for he had been adopted before Snakepaw was even born, and was about to get his name! And his word was final, whatever that meant! How was any of this fair? His brother was the nasty one, the one who yelled at clanmates, but HE was the one becoming the LEADER, at least temporarily!
