She was very quiet when she listened to Wolfheart, and her face betrayed no emotion, even as she turned to Lightningnose and Pikeleap. That was when her fur began to rise slightly, and she was more than grateful for Finchwing's fur pressing against hers. Even Greenpool's tail laid at Squirrelpaw's flank, and Ashenpaw knew that their mentors were silently reminding them that they were there. [i][color=E66C2C]Please, StarClan... if you're listening, don't let Silverstar join Jaystar's side![/color][/i] she prayed, though she wondered if it was futile to do so. As far as the cats of the valley knew, StarClan wasn't around any longer. Lightningnose tipped her head. [b]"Foxstar said that she knew nothing of it, and she did seem sincere. But I don't know of another reason that could explain Russetfern's body being there."[/b] [b]"That means DuskClan's definitely the ones behind the murders,"[/b] Pikeleap rumbled as he turned to Silverstar. His eyes narrowed as he spoke. [b]"Remember that we share a border with them, Silverstar. Our cats are more at risk of falling prey to Foxstar's warriors. If BirchClan wants to stop this before there's any more blood spilled, we should ally ourselves with Jaystar."[/b][/color]
