"Maybe." Eaglefrost sighed. Twopaw kneaded her paws in the cold soil. "Hey, what did she have to think about? Is she mad or something?" Eaglefrost flicked his tail nervously and looked at Cinderthorn. She wouldn't look him in the eyes - which wasn't a surprise. But why did she look nervous? "Do you know, Cinderthorn?"

Cinderthorn shook her head. "I don't know, honestly. She wasn't happy with you, Eaglefrost. I know that. I think she might have guessed... about us... you know, before... Maybe she's feeling insecure or something. If she's thinking that's she;s only second-best in the eyes of cat she loved..." Cinderthorn trailed off, remembering too late that Twopaw was still sitting there. Her eyes were huge as she looked back and forth between Cinderthorn and Eaglefrost.
"You two? Seriously?"
Eaglefrost growled. "Thanks, Cinderthorn."

Twopaw's jaws dropped. "You have to be kidding me! You two were like, a thing?!"
"Yeah." Eaglefrost growled, glaring at Cinderthorn. Great, now my little sister knows! Why doesn't Cinderthorn just tell the whole Clan?! "But that's over now. Right, Cinderthorn?"

"Oh, come off it, Eaglefrost. Yes, it's over now. This is hardly the time to be getting an attitude with me. Scarletclaw could DIE if we don't find her soon. Now, do you want to stand here squabbling about the past, or go find the cat that's meant to be your future?"
Twopaw stood utterly still, her mouth hanging down to the ground.

"Fine." Eaglefrost mewed, forgetting about his quarrel with Cinderthorn. "We have to find her before she freezes to death! Come Twopaw!"
Twopaw shook her head, apparently recovering from shock. "Yeah, yeah. I'm coming."
Eaglefrost padded toward the thorn barrier and then turned back around. " Hey, Cinderthorn! You coming?"

Cinderthorn swallowed.. She wasn't going to let Scarletclaw freeze because she didn't get along with Eaglefrost. "Yeah." She followed them out the tunnel and up the ravine, slushing through the snow. "This is hopeless," she growled. "How are we supposed to pick up a scent in this weather? She could have gone anywhere."
Twopaw shot a tentative look at Eaglefrost. "Maybe... we should... um, wait for the snow to clear. You know, for the scents to come... back... again...?" She trailed off at the look on Eaglefrost's face.

"You know what?!" Eaglefrost roared, "If you want to be a lazy little kit, you can go back to camp an sit on your tail! But I'm looking for Scarletclaw!"
Twopaw flinched, hey eyes throbbing with pain.
Eaglefrost looked at Cinderthorn and was shocked. It looked like she was about to tear his pelt off!

Cinderthorn stared at Eaglefrost, resisting the urge to beat some sense into the foxhearted... But when she spoke, her voice was impressively even. "Eaglefrost, I understand that you're worried about Scarletclaw, but clawing the eyes off of every cat that's trying to help you isn't gonna work. You miss her, but don't you assume you're the only one. And don't you DARE suggest that you want her back any more than me or Twopaw. She's only offering a sensible suggestion. Now, I'm going to go look for Scarletclaw. You two do what you want. It will be more beneficial to split up anyways. We'll cover more ground. Twopaw, make sure you don't go wandering off without a warrior, even one as mouse-brained as this tom here." Cinderthorn didn't waste any time waiting for a reply. Keeping her head and tail high, she turned and pushed through the undergrowth. The snow couldn't have completely covered her scent. Unless she doesn't want to be found, whispered a voice in the back of her head. "Shut up," Cinderthorn growled.
"Cinderthorn! Hey, Cinderthorn!" Twopaw's voice sounded from behind Cinderthorn. She drew in a breath to reply, and suddenly...
"Twopaw! Eaglefrost! Come here, quick! I caught her scent!"

Twopaw instantly forgot why she was calling Cinderthorn and streaked through the snow covered undergrowth. Only a few tail-lengths ahead of the frantic Eaglefrost. She crashed through the bush to see Cinderthorn with her head lowered to the snow, trying to follow the scent trail.
(POV Switch)
Eaglefrost streaked through the bush and instantly began scanning the surrounding area for any scent of Scarletclaw's. He found a small clump of fur caught on a dried thron bush and found that it was drenched with Scarletclaw's scent.
"I got her scent!" He exclaimed and followed it. It led him toward the twoleg place. Well this is where I left her... But the trail is leading directly toward the nests... Suddenly, the trail vanished, as if someone had purposely destroyed it.
"What?!" Twopaw growled behind him. "How can the trail just disappear like that?"
"I don't know," He mewed, "but some cat did this on purpose!"
