Starshine woke up. She had fallen asleep by her father's side the night before but now, when she woke, Butningflame was gone. She ran out of teh medicine den to look for him. Desertsky was the first in sight. She ran up to him. "Where's Burningflame?" she asked. "On an early patrol," Desertsky replied. Starshine let out a low growl. "He's not better yet," she clucked angrily, then she marched away, to the food pile.
