Steeltalon shuddered, pressing herself lower to the ground. She'd rather not get in the way of whatever was happening. Suddenly she heard Sandstorm and Shadowleaf screeching and saw them burst into the clearing. "What's going on?" Steeltalon barked. Her voice was harsh, edged with anger and fear. Pure terror was an unusual emotion for Steeltalon to experience, but she was experiencing it now. She didn't like it. It made her feel helpless and she struggled to calm herself. "I don't know what we can do," she murmured, wanting to bury her face in the leaf litter and not look up until the nightmare was over. For the first time in a while, Steeltalon let her emotions overwhelm her and suddenly she stopped trembling, her eyes oddly calm. And glowing bright blue. "If they've hurt any of my friends, I'll..." She bared her teeth in a furious snarl.
Silver led RawClaw through the jungle, terror surging through her. "Steeltalon!" she called. She skidded to a halt on the edge of the clearing and was shocked when she saw Steeltalon's eyes ice-blue. Silver leapt into a tree, thoroughly horrified at what was happening.
