Offering the tom her shoulder to lean on, she took his weight onto it to support him and began to stumble carefully along back towards camp. [b][color=f9ad81]"Don't worry, as soon as we get you back to camp I'll get someone to help me come back for it. I'll have to come back for the vole, too."[/color][/b] she promised, agreeing that they shouldn't waste any prey. The Clan needed everything they could get right now...The two hunters had made it a little way on, camp was still far enough away, when they heard the sound of the yowl. Spidernose did not scare easily, but even she jumped a little at how unexpected and loud the sound was. [b][color=f9ad81]"Eeeek!"[/color][/b] her dark ears flattened and her nostrils flared slightly as she and Sunfur stopped to locate the direction of the sound. [b][color=f9ad81]"Is that...is that one of the Clan? They sound like they could be in trouble."[/color][/b] she muttered, knowing that they [i]should[/i] go and check it out. [b][color=f9ad81]"We definitely should try and help them, but I don't know if you should over-exert yourself with that snake bite..."[/color][/b] Spidernose was no medicine cat, of course, but she had a bad feeling that Sunfur trying to run or fight after being bitten by a snake was [i]not a good idea[/i]. [b][color=f9ad81]"But if they [i]are[/i] in trouble....we can't just leave them. C-Come on, we've gotta. Do you think you can manage? Wh-Why don't you try and call Duskwing and Moosepaw and then catch up, I'll run a little ahead and see what's going on"[/color][/b] she decided with a nod. Only when she was sure Sunfur wasn't going to collapse or fall over without her to lean on did she push away from the golden-pelted tom, darting through the underbrush and keeping herself somewhat low to the ground, she headed towards Maplestream's screech. [i][color=f9ad81]StarClan, please let us be on time...don't let them be hurt...[/color][/i] they couldn't afford any more injuries.
