My name is Squirrelflight. I am a ThunderClan warrior, living a harsh life under my former mate and clan deputy, Brambleclaw.

I am not the only one suffering, my sister, medicine cat, Leafpool, is also suffering with me. We spend all our time together – Leafpool and I. We walk along the borders, especially WindClan. Leafpool insists on going there daily to see if we can find Crowfeather. She says she wants to apologize to him for everything. I tell her she's insane. Crowfeather's the one who needs to apologize, not her. But of course, she never listens to me.

I look around the ThunderClan camp. My eyes scan across all the cats. Brightheart was playing with her mate, Cloudtail. Daisy and Ferncloud were busy taking care of the kits. My sister was stocking herbs with her son and apprentice, Jayfeather.

I was searching for Brambleclaw, obviously. He still hasn't forgiven me after. Seasons have past, I am afraid he doesn't love me anymore. My mother always tells me there are much better toms out there. But everytime I approach someone, they run away from me because of my sister's and my lie. Jayfeather, Lionblaze and Hollyleaf are not my kits, DEAL WITH IT, I often tell myself. They always act like so-sorry babies around me, well except Hollyleaf, since she's in heaven already.

I wish I had them and Brambleclaw again.
