Panic had her paws moving of their own accord the moment it was clear that the terrible thing had set its beady eyes on Sealpaw. Logic dictated that she stood more of a fighting chance against the coyote if she stayed with the patrol but the moment she'd broken away that thought had been thrown out the window. All the apprentice knew was the hot breath and snapping at her heels as she ran blindly across the thunderpath in the hopes that perhaps a monster might serve to take out her pursuer. No such luck, however as the growling behind her only continued.

Sealpaw ran for what felt like forever, only slowing when the yips of the coyote began to fade in the distance and her legs felt like they would fall off if she took another step. She finally collapsed, gasping for precious air. To rest. She was safe. She was... Where was she? Blue eyes stared up in awe at what had to be the tallest pine trees she'd ever seen. ...Next to the giant tree in the center of the old colony's camp, of course.

"Whoa..." It came out as a ragged breath, not quite believing what the apprentice had taken shelter under. "I don't think there are any trees as tall as this back home..."

Speaking of home... How far had she run to get away from the coyote..? Nothing around seemed even the least bit familiar. Retracing her steps seemed like a sure-fire way to come face to face with the predator again and she didn't think she'd have the energy to run as fast as she had again if it came to that. Wide eyes darted this way and that as the realization dawned on her.

Sealpaw was hopelessly lost in unfamiliar territory. Hopefully her clanmates would find her or she'd come across some landmark she could use to gauge where she was and make her way back home...

[SWALLOWPAW]

so far, skyclan hasn't seen a good chunk of it's predators. the dog that chased des found it's way into the territory. she's heard whispers of the animals to look out for, and that's where it ends for her. since bumping into thunderclan, swallowpaw feels more alert to random trespassers. sealpaw was no exception. fortunately, she didn't know the procedure for that.

the smell was noticeable, bitter and not very kind to her nose. swallowpaw thought it was a herb at first. when she turned the corner to find the gray toned cat, she froze. the stranger was too old to be a kitten, maybe a few moons older at best. "h-hey! who are you?" she tries to be intimidating, but the surprise of a whole trespasser made her voice come out a squeak. "you're uhm, not supposed to be here."

Sealpaw froze at the sound of something new approaching, breath catching in her throat briefly before remembering that if it was the coyote the noise would be far louder. She stared dumbly as another cat rounded the corner and came face to face with the apprentice, saying Sealpaw wasn't supposed to be here.

Her tufted ears slammed flat against her skull, though the tabby raised her head high in what she hoped would come off as a confident stance. "I didn't mean to trespass, miss. I got separated from my patrol when a coyote chased me across the thunderpath..." Sealpaw paused, shuffling uncertainly. Was it...wise to elaborate further? To give her name? This cat certainly didn't smell like Thunderclan, at least.

"...My name's Sealpaw...from Shadowclan. What's your name..? If you point me towards the thunderpath I can make my way back home." Preferably before her clanmates found her and mistook the larger cat for cornering the apprentice.

Still so young, Desperate for attention!

indentttMothbite wasted no time in pursuing Sealpaw and they Coyote. Instead of running full tilt, though, he had taken a more methodical approach, slinking through the bushes, just out of sight of the massive predator. He nimbly wove underneath branches and in between rocks, following the coyote's nasty scent. Eventually, he could hear the thing quiet down, having lost Sealpaw's trail and given up. That's a relief, at least. 'But did the damn kid need to run so far?

indentttThey've long since left Shadowclan territory, having crossed the thunderpath awhile ago and gone near the old colony's campsite. Now he's wound up in a part of the forest he didn't recognize, with tall trees that cast the forest floor in shadow, despite the bright Newleaf sun. What's worse, he's completely lost sight of Sealpaw. He's pretty sure she's okay - he'd watched the coyote leave without catching her - but it was only a matter of time before she found herself in some other sort of trouble.

indentttHe strained to catch her scent over the heavy smell of the pine trees. "Sealpaw, where are you? Can you hear me?"
