My patrol trudged on. The scent of the huge eagle was still scented, but no one heard or saw anything.
My deputy, Steppingstone sniffed. "Nothing,"he reported. "Should we go back to the cave?"
"I don't know,"I murmured. "What if it comes back?"
"We will take turns standing guard,"my deputy promised. "Let's go."
I curled up in my nest, still worrying about my Clan. What if-
Suddenly, I heard a yowl and a screech. The eagle! And Steppingstone was on guard!
"Attack!"I screeched."EAGLE!"
Everybody sprang up and rushed outside.
Steppingstone was battling with the eagle. The eagle slashed it's claws across his neck. Blood splattered.
"NO!" I snarled. I sprang on the eagle. But the eagle was huge. It started to fly across a cliff.
"Icestar! Let go!" the whole Clan was screeching.
But I knew it was too late. If I let go, I would fall down the mountain.
"The new leader is Snowpool!" I shouted, thinking of my sister.And then I let go of the eagle.
