## Extra Story

Fisherclaw thought about it for a minute and then nodded. "Ravenshade, I need you to go to the border. There were traces of foxes, and I need some cat to get rid of them. Take whomever you want."

The black she-cat nodded at the deputy and looked around. "Uh, Webbedfoot, and, um, Goldenpaw." She looked down at her paws as she quietly spoke her orders. She was a very shy cat.

Webbedfoot dipped his head at the older cat and stood up. He and Goldenpaw followed her out of camp. Webbedfoot didn't really know Goldenpaw well, and he had never really spoken to Ravenshade a lot. He felt a bit awkward. "So, uh, Ravenshade. Fine hunting this season."

Ravenshade nodded and continued walking. Webbedfoot sighed. He wished that she would talk. He turned to Goldenpaw. "Er, hey Goldenpaw."

Goldenpaw looked at him and said, "Hi."

Webbedfoot cursed his luck. He was patrolling with the two cats in the Clan that he didn't know at all.

"So, um, what's new with you?" Goldenpaw finally asked, after a long pause. Webbedfoot sighed. It was a relief to not start the conversation.

"Nothing much. Regular Clan duties. What about you? How's training?"

"Pretty good. I'm almost done!"

Webbedfoot nodded and the trio continued walking until they reached the border. They began to sniff for foxes.

"No foxes here." Webbedfoot called out, a bit too loudly. Instead of hearing Goldenpaw or even Ravenshade's response, he heard a snarl. It didn't sound like a cat. Then he heard a bark. Not a dog. A fox!

He whirled around and saw Goldenpaw battling with a young male fox. Three more foxes raced out from the brush. Ravenshade hissed and leaped at the huge vixen. The two foxes left approached Webbedfoot, getting closer and closer. Webbedfoot charged them, swiping at their noses and muzzles. The first fox leaped at him, scratching his back. He yowled and sliced the fox's muzzle. The fox yelped and leaped back.

Webbedfoot felt triumphant, but then a huge weight pounced on him. The other fox, a young vixen, was clawing at his back. Webbedfoot turned to look at her, but she slashed out, and her claws sank into his eye. He yowled in pain and fell back, his eye filling up with blood, blocking his vision. Ravenshade was still battling the huge vixen. She raked her claws down the fox's body, and the fox yelped. She threw Ravenshade off of her, and slashed the black she-cat's throat. The fox fled, yipping. The rest of the foxes left the cats and ran after their leader. Goldenpaw had gashes down her body, but she looked okay. She ran over and helped Webbedfoot stand.

"Webbedfoot! Cold Waters, your eye looks terrible!" she gasped.

"I don't want to think about that right now," Webbedfoot admitted. "Where's Ravenshade?"

The two of them padded over to her. The black she-cat's throat was spilling out so much blood. Too much blood. Ravenshade looked at them.

"Please. Tell Fisherclaw and Sparrowtail that I'm sorry, and I love them. When Willowpaw comes back, tell her that I forgive her."

Goldenpaw gasped. "No! Ravenshade! You're going to live! I know you will! Quick, Webbedfoot, find cobweb!"

Webbedfoot darted off and returned shortly with cobwebs. Goldenpaw pressed them into Ravenshade's throat, but the cobwebs instantly soaked up and turned red. Goldenpaw contined applying more cobweb, but it was clear that Ravenshade was too far gone.

"Thank you, Goldenpaw. You're going to make a great warrior." Ravenshade closed her eyes. She took a deep breath in, then out, and she didn't breathe again.

Goldenpaw looked at Webbedfoot, distraught. "I can't believe that just happened..."

Webbedfoot nodded sadly. "She seemed like a good cat. She was loyal, brave, and good with kits." To himself, he thought about how tragic it was for Goldenpaw to witness death at such a young age. She had already been through so much trauma, and she wasn't even a warrior yet.

Goldenpaw looked at a hazel bush. "There. We should bury her there. It's at a spot where during the spring, blossoms will fall on her grave." Webbedfoot nodded, and they spent a while digging at the ground, making a deep, cat-sized hole. They buried Ravenshade and then trudged home, grief in their hearts.

Fisherclaw and Bramblestar were waiting. Bramblestar scanned their patrol. Fisherclaw looked at Webbedfoot's eye and winced. "Where's Ravenshade?"

Goldenpaw choked back a sob. "She died. We beat the foxes, but they're still out there."

Bramblestar hissed. "We'll have to send better warriors then, I guess."

Goldenpaw's pelt stuck up like an angry hedgehog. "How could you say something like that?"

Fisherclaw opened his mouth to say something, and then shut it. His eyes were wide; he was shocked that his mate was dead.

Bramblestar surveyed the nearby warriors. "Amberclaw, Duskfall. Assemble a few more cats and go after those foxes. Finish the job."

He stalked off to his den. Fisherclaw padded after him. Milkywillow padded over to Webbedfoot.

"Come to my den. I will fix that eye for you. You'll have a scar now, and you might not be able to see out of that eye again." Webbedfoot followed her to the herb stores, stepping heavily, carrying his grief and horror.
