Dirtpaw raced back to Howlingleaf's side. Dirtpaw glanced bacl over her shoulder, and saw that the fox was chasing her. "Help!" She yowled. In a panic, she ran into Howlingleaf ans stumbled on to him. "Help! The fox is chasing me!"

Howlingleaf stepped between the fox and Dirtpaw. Swinging on his haunches, Howlingleaf pounced on the fox. He gripped the fur on the fox's neck. The fox yowled and tossed him aside. The fox began to advance on Dirtpaw again.

Dirtpaw was in a panic. She did'nt know what to do. "Help!" She yowled, as the fox began chasing her again. Dirtpaw ran as fast as she could, she did'nt even know where she was running.
Dirtpaw stopped. She did'nt know where she was. Wheres the fox? Dirtpaw thought. She calles out," Howlingleaf? Howlingleaf where are you?"

Howlingleaf chased after Dirtpaw and the fox. Gripping the fox's tail in between his teeth, he pulled back, yanking the fox backward. Yowling, the fox forgot about Dirtpaw and decided that Howlingleaf was the greater threat. Howlingleaf realized what the fox planed to do as soon as it lowered it's self to the ground. The fox pounced, jumping in mid-air. Howlingleaf jumped too and scratched the fox's belly. Blood splattered across hi face, but Howlingleaf barely noticed for, once the fox had ran off, Howlingleaf could not find Dirtpaw anywhere.
"Dirtpaw?" He padded toward the direction she had ran. "Dirtpaw? Dirtpaw get here now!" He paused. "Dirtpaw?" He broke out into a run, fearing that his new friend had been lost in unfamiliar territory.

"Howlingleaf?" Dirtpaw continued to yowl. The area was dark. Where was she? Dirtpaw heard the sound of paws padiing and bolted and hid under a bush. "Howlingleaf?" She called again.

Howlingleaf padded onward. Where was she? He checked the air again. Certainly he had to be closer now. Pushing through the bushes, Howlingleaf spotted HighStones. Certainly she can't be in there, he thought. It was getting dark and Howlingleaf was as uncertain as ever. "This wasn't such a good idea," he mewed sadly as he continued his search for hi friend.

Dirtpaw emerged from behind the bushes. It turned out the sound of paws padding was just some loner cat walking by. Dirtpaw was nervous. She yowled, "Howlingleaf? Where are you!?" Then Dirtpaw had to face the facts. She was lost. No, I am not lost, Dirtpaw thought. She hated to think of herself in bad situations. She padded up to wherever she was, and called out over and oer again. It was getting darker, and the stars of Silverpelt were beginning to show. Oh, StarClan help me!Dirtpaw prayed silently.

"Howlingleaf? Where are you!?" He heard Dirtpaw's frightened mew. "Dirtpaw!" He called not in search but in saying she was found. "Dirtpaw! I was so worried!" Howlingleaf raced over to Dirtpaw and licked between her ears. "Don't ever do that again!" Great StarClan! I sound like a queen! he thought. But I am a loving tom, is all. He licked Dirtpaw's head again.

Dirtpaw was padding along the unknown field and then she heard someone coming. She turned to run away, but then heard him say 'dirtpaw'! "Howlingleaf!" Dirtpaw mewed happily at the sight of the gray tom. "I'm so glad I found you...um, you found me!" Dirtpaw looked around. "What is this place?" She asked. "I never been here before. Have you?"

"No. I have no clue where we are, " He meowed. "We could be past highStones for all I know. I not even sure which way is home." Looking back, he mewed, "Well I guess we could retrace our pawsteps....or keep exploring...."

"I don't know....maybe we should explore....," The little apprentice said, and suddenly a thought came into her head. "What if we can find new territory for WindClan?"

Howlingleaf nodded. "Maybe." He did not want to discourage Dirtpaw so soon so he added, "We would have to discuss that with Rosestar first. But I am sure she would mind us looking."

"I'm hungry," Dirtpaw meowed out of random. "Can I go hunt? Please?" she mewed, rolling on her back.

"Um....sure. That be fine." He scanned the surrendering. "You look over there-" he pointed with his tail to a small clump of trees. "And I'll look over there." He pointed to a small meadow a few yards aways. "Bring back anything you find."

Dirtpaw went to where Howlingleaf ordered. She sniffed he air for scents. She can smell mouse, vole, thrush......mostly vole. She focused on the vole scent. Dirtpaw found the vole scurrying along some grass. She pounced and killed it. She moved on. Now there was a very, strong scent of squirrel. Dirtpaw hated squirrel, but she was hungry ans sh'll eat about every thing. As the squirrel squrried down the trees, Dirtpaw quietly stalked it. Finally she leaped and missed it. Darn! she thought, as she lifted her head to taste more scents.
