Chapter 3: The Accident

Chapter 3: The Accident

     Flamestar let his paws do the work as he walked over to Robinsong.  He tried to calm down, but he was so nervous.  "Robinsong?"  he asked.  "Yeah, Flamestar?" Robinsong said.  "Uh... will you come hunting with me?" Flamestar couldn't get the words out.  Perhaps he could ask her when they were alone.  "I just got back from a hunting patrol, Flamestar"  Robinsong said.  Uh oh,  Flamestar thought.  "Well... you did so good... I'd like to see your skills myself," he finally covered up his mistake.  Phew.  "Okay,"  Robinsong looked worried.  "Don't be worried," he said quickly.  "You've done nothing wrong,"  Robinsong let out a sigh of relief.  "Alright," she said.
     Flamestar and Robinsong padded out of camp.  She led Flamestar to her favorite hunting spot, near the river, far from camp.  "I'll see if I can catch a fish or two for Graypaw and Sharpfang,"  Flamestar said.  For some reason those two enjoyed fish, and hadn't joined CreekClan.  Not that Flamestar was complaining, of course.  "Not before I catch two first!" Robinsong grinned.  "Its on!" Flamestar grinned back.  Together they splashed around in the river, not even trying to catch fish.  They were making such loud noises, they didn't notice large pawsteps running toward them.  Flame glanced behind them and his eyes widened.  A huge black wolf was lunging toward him.  Flamestar was completely frozen from shock.  He shut his eyes and waited for the impact.  In those few seconds, time seemed to stop.  When he felt nothing, he opened his eyes to find Robinsong giving that wolf the fight of his life.  She struck him right above his left eye.  Flamestar lept into action.  He jumped on the wolf's back  and struck him on the neck.  He didn't let go.  Not until the wolf used all his strength to shake Flamestar off.  As he was about to leap back into action, his eyes widened and he froze.  The wolf was holding Robinsong by the neck.  She lay limp in his clutch.  The wolf shook her then tossed her aside.  He lunged at Flamestar, and the last thing Flamestar saw was the wolf hurtling toward him before Flamestar blacked out.
