He doesn't normally leave the tunnels... But the fear of being confined drives him out. He murmurs to Whitedawn that he needs air and hes off, squeezing from the tunnel entrance just ahead of the two tunnelers.
Theres a twoleg in front of him, looking just as startled as he was to see a cat pop from a rabbit hole. Spotpaw blinks once. Then twice.
Huh? He looks around. Oh. Its the twoleg barn… And unfortunately for him, he picked the wrong time to get air.
Heavy footfalls hit the ground and then hands scoop him up, coming to grab his scruff and support under his belly. It always was his downfall, freezing in the face of fear. His legs still feel like stone when he's hoisted in to the air. Whitedawn bursts from the tunnels and it seems the twoleg notices this because it chatters something to its partner who nods. And then they take off, and Whitedawn is following, but... He gives up, going limp- there is no fight left in the boy, heart pounding wildly as his mind drifts elsewhere in his only attempt to stop his fear, to not have his heart burst out his chest. Spotpaw is taken away from Windclan.
What would happen of him? To his mama, when she learns her only boy had been taken. To Whitedawn, when inevitably she cannot save him? Spotpaw can't think. In fact, his brain is silent, but it screams, oh it screams. Indecision to do something leads him to nothing.
