RiverClan Territory

[Estelle]

It was with that nod of agreement that their search officially started. As much as Gingerfrost had the urge to stomp his feet in anger, the young tabby knew better than that. So instead, he kept quiet as his steps lightened to make less sound, sniffing the air for anything out of the ordinary. For certainly an outsider could be scented from miles away if the wind blew in their favour. Only there wasn't much of a breeze today, and so the felines were left without much to smell other than their usual surroundings.

It wasn't until he moved closer to the border, the scent of RiverClan strong, that he noted the metallic scent of blood hung in the air. His ear flicked, alarmed. Either someone else had fallen victim to the cruel cat, or these were remnants of what they did to Minnowpaw. A crease formed above his brow, and he clenched his teeth.
"Mistycloud."
The tabby turned around and called for the warrior, nodding in the direction of the metallic smell.
"This way."
His voice lowered to a whisper, and so did his body as he leaned closer to the ground, hiding behind the undergrowth. He expected there to be a chance they'd run into some vicious and mad cat; little did he realise it wasn't quite that.

Behind the bushes and beyond their own territory, there it lay -- a cat, bloodied but white, missing half their left front leg. The cat fit exactly the description Minnowpaw had given, and with a grimace, Gingerfrost rose to his paws at the sight. The apprentice had mentioned a cat from another clan was there, and that one clawed at the other's face. Judging by the scars littering the cat's body, it must've been the clan cat overpowering the outsider. With a light and tentative nudge to the cat's back, he determined it was, in fact, dead.
"...I think this is it."
The tabby muttered.
"We should bury it."
Further into the outskirts, of course. An outsider prying on young apprentices didn't deserve to be buried elsewhere. Dully, he noted just the faintest scent of what might be ThunderClan over the metallic smell.

Mistycloud was searching for whomever the culprit is when her name was called by Riverclan's deputy. Quickly, she made her way over to him but silently.

"That's... Unpleasant, but yes, we need to bury them..." she mewed. She began to help Gingerfrost move the cat.

"At least it'll hurt no one else."
The tabby mumble as he, with Mistycloud's help, began moving the body further into the outskirts. Once the culprit had been moved far away enough from RiverClan territory, Gingerfrost padded around it and began digging a hole. It was a bit of a long job for only two warriors, but soon enough, a decently deep hole was dug and the body was pushed inside. He didn't bother with much of any frivolities; the culprit was disposed of matter of factly, and nothing else. After burying it, ensuring no predators would be attracted by the smell, the tabby turned to face Mistycloud with a nod.
"Thank you for your help."
He mew, looking around a last time for any other sign of life. But there was nothing. They better report this to Beansprout, then.
"Let's go."
Is the last thing Gingerfrost said, casting a last look around, before waiting for Mistycloud and beginning to leave.

Mistycloud agreed with Gingerfrost, but whoever did this was still out there. A threat to the clans.

"You're welcome," she said, her thoughts clouding her senses as she followed him back to camp.

Briarfang yawned as he made his way through Riverclan territory he stopped when they were about in the middle of it and turned to his apprentice "So Autumnpaw now were here got any questions?" he asked as he sat down and wrapped hi tail over his paws.

Autumnpaw carefully observed the RiverClan territory. She shook her head when she was asked if she had questions.

Briarfang shrugged and rose to his paws "Ok then let's move to the next part of the tour" he said and started moving deeper into Riverclan territory.

Autumnpaw followed her mentor curiously.
