'I can do it,' Flame volunteered, padding upwards to the nearest tree. She glanced upwards. The tree extended into the skies, with thick branches at the bottom which got thinner and thinner as it spiralled upwards. She placed her paws on the bark, wincing at the slimy touch, before digging her claws in. The fire-coloured tabby paused for a moment, before beginning to climb.

As she picked her way up, she found herself thanking StarClan for her light weight and good balance- the branches were getting terrifying thin. She glanced upwards. There wasn't much tree left to climb, and what was left would probably snap, so she found the nearest branch. She dared not glance downwards as the slippery branch swayed with the wind, just carried on placing one paw in front of the other. Holding out her tail for balance, she finally looked past her paws to the ground.

She had climbed surprisingly high, higher than she had meant to, but this would at least give her a better view. Forcing herself to keep calm wasn't easy as she stared at the horizon and everything around it. What would a ghost look like, anyway?

She was about to give up and climb back down when she saw something. A tiny brown pelt... Thornkit... And something- or someone- next to her. It was a blur of shadow, but she felt the same ominous presence as she had when she had been near the figurine. Watching the shadowy cat morph into a hive of wasps, she felt her fur standing on end. She quickly remembered the direction and landmarks on the way, before leaping. She felt as if she had left her stomach on the branch as she used her tail to spin into the correct position to land, but ignored the sickly feeling.

'I saw it!' Her eyes were round and her voice rang with urgency. 'It was with Thornkit. Come on, let's go!'
