As the wind bristled in Harepaw's fur, Cherrypaw approached him. Her pastel blue eyes shined with fear as Harepaw worried. He wondered what she was afraid of this time. "What is it, Cherrypaw?"

She asked as her tail flickered in worry. Harepaw looked to his right. He thought for a moment. After a while, he cringed at the thought of Cherrypaw relying on Flamestar to protect her. "Cherrypaw, you need to learn how to protect yourself. You can't rely on others to protect you." Harepaw mewed.
