Jacer was fast asleep on his nest of greenery when he was awoken by shouting.

"Juniper? Where's Juniper? He was here...sleeping here. Darox?! Darox, come here!"

Jacer stirred as he heard Gothliea freaking out in the main area. He got up and stretched, then slowly went to the main area. He then heard Darox's voice.

"Gothliea, calm down. We'll send a search party to find him." He turned to the wolves who had been woken by the commotion. "Snosali, Kasern, Liflean, I want you to go search for Juniper. The rest of us will stay here."

The three wolves dipped there heads in respect and rushed out through the entrance.

Jacer could hear Midnight squeal from down a tunnel.

Gothliea ran yelling, "Oh Midnight, I'm here, I'm here for you baby!"

Jacer was interested to see where this was going. Did Juniper die? Plus, it would look suspicious if he just walked away.

Twisty padded up to him. "This is crazy," she said. "What do you think happened to Juniper?" She asked as she lay down next to him.

Jacer shrugged. Usually when he talked to Twisty, he let her do the talking.

But this time, Twisty just sat there.

A few minutes later, the search party had come back.

But this time, they had a dead Juniper hanging from Liflean's mouth.
