Snowstorm reluctantly led the patrol towards the river where he had last scented Mittens. Her scent was only just fresh. "Ok everyone, the kittypet was last sighted her we must find her and scare her into the twoleg place." He gestured to the trees not in mistclan territory that led to the twoleg's home.
"Let's split up" requested juniperpool and the other cats nodded in agreement as he went out to search for the cat. He felt a flood of rage run through him, she should have returned to the twoleg place like I told her! But - he thought - she can't return home. Wait. I'm loyal to my clan, he said to himself, I will chase her out of the forest. I will attack her with my full force!
He headed in the direction of twoleg place and crossed the scent markers into twoleg territory then turned and headed into the unclaimed woodlands. Mittens scent was strong, fresh as well. Snowstorm broke into a run. But, her scent was mingled with another and he lost it, he then smelt the strong scent of rogue. The same one that was with her in the battle with the badger.
He decided to follow the rogue scent then realised he had followed the wrong trail as he was following the stale scent not the fresh one. Oh great. He began to backtrack and lost the scent entirely. Snowstorm was always bad at scent tracking.
He met up with the other patrols; Minnowpelt was the only one who found something a fox scent but it had crossed into mistclan territory so it was their problem now. The patrol renewed the scent markers and began to head back to camp. There was barely any leaves on the trees now leaf bare was coming fast a bit too fast. They headed back to camp and reported their findings to Rockstar. The leader would probably warn mistclan.
