A dark fog rolls in over ShadowClan's camp as I treat Echofall's rat bite. "Here, these cobwebs will stop the bleeding and the comfrey root and marigold will help with any infections. I'd suggest you rest your paw here or in you nest in the warrior's den to help speed up the recovery." As Echofall mews a thanks and limps away, I can't help but notice Hollowshade staring off into nothing, a distant flash of lightning illuminating his eyes and making them seem white. I shudder. Whenever that cat's around, weird things seem to happen. "Reedpaw, I need to tell you something." I tell him, beckoning him over to the far side of the den, out of earshot from any other cat. "When you asked me if I could hear something, do you mean something like howling?" "Yes! You hear-" He gasps, cut off by a flick of my tail. "Quiet down, we can't let anyone else hear this. I don't think Hollowshade is safe to be around." I mew, looking around for any cat listening in on our conversation first, finding no-one. "We should do something about this." Reedpaw whispers. "We should, but not so soon. He's only became deputy 3 moons ago, and most of the Clan trusts him. Your first medicine cat half-moon meeting is coming up. We can discuss it there." "But what if the others don't believe us? What do we do then?" Reedpaw whimpers. "We'll try our best, but if they don't believe, us, let fate choose our destiny. We'll make it through these hard times."
