Commotion filled the camp. Yowls and shrieks cut through the air. The eleven moon-old sisters, Echopaw and and Pastelpaw fought side by side, lashing out at a large tabby tom. He sprang and threw Echopaw to the ground, her body landing with a soft thud. She winced and rolled out from underneath him.

Echopaw collapsed to the ground, her tail tip trembling as she lay there. Blackfern's once shimmering pale green eyes were now glazed, the sour smell of death wafting off her black pelt.
