Description
The wind had picked up by the time Liongaze and Emberflower found Flamefur's scent again.  It was leading steadily farther away from the camp and soon they found it ended abruptly.
Liongaze heard Emberflower let out a hiss of annoyance.  "Fox-dung, we've lost the trail."
"Well, let's sniff around," he suggested.  "Maybe we can pick it up again."
Liongaze knew he didn't sound very convincing but he figured he'd have to try for Emberflower's sake.  Their nose to the ground, they both set off around a sink hole in the ground.  When the Clans had first started out, Spottedstar (leader after Skystar) had stumbled upon the sink hole late in green-leaf.  Nothing had seemed off about it then, but something had never seemed right about.  Everyone in the Clan just tried to keep their distance from it.
The sun was half-way down the sky before Liongaze called out to Emberflower.
"I think we've searched enough," he sighed and flicked his tail.
"We haven't searched enough until we've found Flamefur," Emberflower pointed out with a hiss.  "I know he's up to something!"
Liongaze was about to rebuke but a sudden shriek from down in the sink hole cut him off.  He peered over the edge as the shriek came again and his eyes widened.
"Flamefur!" Emberflower gasped and Liongaze dug his claws into the ground.
Liongaze could see Flamefur's fiery-red pelt through the darkness of the hole but he seemed to be clawing at the air and shrieking as he did so.  He leaped up and fell almost immediately back down again and Liongaze had to hold himself steady.  Whatever he was doing, the SkyClan deputy was bleeding badly and needed help!
Almost without thinking, Liongaze launched himself down into the whole, hardly hearing Emberflower calling his name.  He landed next to Flamefur and that's when the deputy suddenly stopped thrashing.  Flamefur looked up at Liongaze with shock in his eyes…but Liongaze thought he could see something else there too.  He pushed the thought away.  He had to get Flamefur out of here!
Liongaze grasped Flamefur's scruff in his teeth and began to haul him out of the sink hole.
