~Oakblossom stared at him dully.
"Another raid?" She asked him, almost whispering. Her hackle fur had risen, and the harsh breeze coming in from the mountains whipped the two foxes fur around as they spoke.
Redleaf nodded gravely. Fear shone in Oakblossom's eyes, but she suppressed it. She was no coward.
"That would be the second moon in a row they had attacked us! The attacks are getting more frequent, and more violent every time! We can't keep losing foxes, Winter is coming, and we'll need every pair of capable paws if we are too feed the entire pack." She sighed and looked up at her mate.
Redleaf nodded sadly.
"We've lost many of our best warriors- Autumnstar, Lowbreeze. I have to go fight with them."
"No!" she cried out, "You could die."
"It is a risk I must make. I am a good warrior. And the pack needs me."
Redleaf left the room.
Oakblossom wondered if this perhaps was the last time she'd see her mate.
"Farewell. Good luck," she whispered.
