Autumnfur's head shot up as the cry cut through the tranquility of the forest. Her audits flicked forward, and she mewed softly at the sound of Lightningtail's voice. She paused, thinking for a moment. Each breath Autumnfur took, she could be helping the ThunderClan cat. Autumnfur paused, then rushed forwards to go help the older cat.

Mapleclaw`s head jerked up.eyes wide."Lightningtail!"She hissed in frustration,racing through to find his scent.When she arrived,Autumnfur`s scent was alreayd there aswell."Mousebrain!"She meowed,clawing at the bark.She turned to Autumnfur hoplesly."I`m no good at climbing,up or down.Sadly,Lightningtail`s only good for climbing up,not so much the down,"She shook her head,sighing."You`ll have to get him,or coax him down,"
Lightningtail clutched to the bakr,but narrowed his eyes at Mapleclaw`s comment."Mousebrain!I`ll show her-"He gulped,looking over the side."As soon as I get down form here...."

Voice cracked with desperate fear. "I-I don't know..." Autumnfur's voice faded and stammered. "I...I don't climb much..."

Leopardpelt shrugged and pushed his way out of the bushes. "Try jumping to that branch just lower than you." he yelled. Kits got stuck up in trees all the time, and if Lightningtail couldn't make his way down on his own, he'd have to go up and get him down. That might be harder then normal... Lightningtail wasn't a kit anymore.

Lightningtail trembled,his foot sliding closer to the egde.He pulled it back quickly,whining pitifully.He looked down to the next branch,gasping and clinging harder to the branch."I cant.."He rasped,eyes as wide as a mouse in green-leaf.
Mapleclaw sighed,shaking her head."Great.Leopardpelt,you`lll have to get him,"She grumbled,looking rather crossed."Come on,Autumnfur,we better start hunting again.See if we can find anything Lightningtail didnt scare,"She padded away softly,flicking ehr tail.

Leopardpelt sighed and shook his head. "I'm coming, Lightningtail." He began to climb the tree, digging his claws deep into the bark. As soon as he could, he bagan to leap up using only the branches, sometimes using his claws to give himself a boost. It didn't take long to reach Lightningtail. "Don't worry, it's easy Lightningtail. Just follow me." Leopardpelt's tail pointed to the next branch down. "That's the first one we'll go to. Land close to the trunk, it's thicker there." Leopardpelt demonstated and moved back, leaving room for another cat. "Your turn."

Lightningtail trembled,unhooking his claws and leting himself slip down onto the next branch,shaking violently.He wheezed unhappily,coming close to Leopardpelt."Okay,okay,I`m here,"He rasped,tail thrashing.

"Okay, there's the next one." Leopardpelt jumped down to another branch, slightly below this one. "There's nothing to be scared of."

Lightningtail cursed under his breath,reaching down for the next branch and landing clumsily on it.:Easy for you to say.You`re a young,strong deputy,"He growled,shaking a paw."I`m an old,cranky tom whom everyone thinks should retire,"

Autumnfur watched the pair for a moment longer, before padding off after Mapleclaw, her tiny paws working overtime. It sucked, being small as Autumnfur...but she didn't mind. She knew how to work it to her advantage during battles and hunts...even being chased, for Autumnfur was quick, agile, and nimble.

Mapleclaw crouched down again,just barely realising Autumnfur waas following her.She waited for a scent to fill her nostrils,even as she paced around for a bit.She sighed,planting herself on her rump.Mapleclaw lifted her paws,shifted her toes around and watched with interest as her claws clashed against each other."Nothing,"She growled in defeat,stamping her paw on the ground.She got up,going to dig up their other catches."COme on,we might aswell take the others back to camp,"The she-cat sighed with gusto,grabbing her kills and heading back for camp.

Mapleclaw trudged back into camp,dropping off her kill.She paused for a moment,sitting down in the middle of camp and letting cats stream about her.She sighed,turning to face Autumnfur."I hope Leopardpelt`s okay,"She added on hurriedly."And Lightningtail,"

Autumnfur nodded solemnly. Autumnfur dropped her kill in the pile of fresh kill, then glanced back towards the forest. She figured the pair would be fine, but she understood Mapleclaw's worries. Lightningtail was growing old, and it was quite possible for him not to get down at all...but it seemed like Leopardpelt was doing a fine job with the old tom.

Mapleclaw nodded,then suddenly felt a nip at her belly.She turned around and grabbed the mouse she had caught,munching on it.She looked up at Autumnfur again,opened her mouth like she wanted to speak,then shut it again,going back to his mouse.
