He ate the rabbit then looked at Firestorm again. It was strange that Nori and Candy weren't back with the skulk and he didn't want them to be injured so he sighed but agreed.

"We should look for them. Being out alone is not safe", growled Chestnut hoping that they were not hurt.

Firestorm walked outside of camp and waited for Chestnut to follow. He sniffed the ground. "They both went in different directions."

He followed after Firestorm and sniffed the ground. It wasn't good if they were seperate but not much can be done. Nori was easier to follow which was comforting but Candy for some reason was faint? They had to find where the male grey fox went.

"Candy is faint which is more concerning. We need to find him before Crimson or Arrow might", barked Chestnut worried.

He hoped Firestorm would realize the trouble if Arrow or Crimson found out.

Firestorm | M | Red Fox | Forest Skulk

Firestorm nodded. "Let's look for him first, then." The faint scent was hard to track, but he was able to find it. He followed the trail farther into the forest. Where is he?

As they followed Candy's trail, it was then that Chestnut headed a different direction from Firestorm anda little closer to the border then felt a chill when he saw a tree near the Ice border then his eyes went up the trees and followed as they headed in the direction of the Forest border.

Letting out a quiet growl, the red fox started pacing hoping that he could cover the fact on how close Candy had been. The outsider that had been near the Forest border thankfully covered some fact that Candy had been around.

"Not good. What was he thinking? What would Arrow and Crimson think?", growled Chestnut in a worried tone. He wasn't sure if Firestorm noticed where the trail had lead.

Firestorm followed Chestnut, but stayed a bit farther behind him. He looked up and saw the Ice Skulk border. He gasped. "Do you think he went across?" He wasn't sure if the Ice Skulk would treat intruders kindly. They weren't exactly the closest allies.

Nightshade got out of the burrow to check on her fruit and swatted as well snapped at any bugs hovering near her fruit. Her yellow eyes flickered to the territories but she had no interest in going back and possibly encountering a leader or the second in command. The screech made her fur bristle so she ran back into her burrow.

His head whipped at the gasp he heard and saw the other red fox. Hearing the question made him uneasy because he didn't want to doubt Candy or hurt Nori. Taking a deep breath he calmed himself.

"No I don't think so or at least I hope not especially for Nori's sake. The best we can do we cover any tracks from the ground to the tree or trees that he might have stayed in", answered Chestnut still pacing and trying to see if the gray fox had gone up a tree.

Firestorm looked up at the trees but didn't see the missing fox. He tried to sniff more, but he found that the Ice Skulk border's chilly air made it hard to smell much. He moved deeper into the forest, but all he got was the vague scent of Candy having been near here, not a specific direction. He paced anxiously. He hoped Candy hadn't been grabbed by an eagle or bear.
