It was cold, so cold. She had to stop many times to try and keep her body warm. The snow was smashing against her face. They snowflakes were stinging her face with such power. She was scared and so frightened. She stopped once more. Her little kitten but sinking into the snow. Her cream coloured coat to thin to help the cold. Her kitten tears now frozen on her face. She looked back to see that only three footprints were behind her. She ha dno idea if she was really getting away. For all she knew she could be heading back to enemy lines. She shiovered at the thought of what happened.

He looked to weak to take her on, and yet he said that he was an apprentice now. Her best male friend columbine was staring at her. He asked her to fight him so he could show her his new moves. She wanted to say no. it looked like he was just about to fall over to onje side. His eyes were sukken in, his once glowing brown pelt now duller then ever. His mother, and her foster mother was sitting a few feet away. Her eyes encouraged her to fight, but even she could see her wondering the same thing. Was columbine really up for it. The look in his eyes was fierce.

"I can beat you ashen. I know a few moves"

she knew now that if she said no that columbine would be depressed.

"ok but I don't want to hurt you"

he ran at her at full speed. The same with her. They were getting closer and at one point she could see him fulter a bit. It was almost like he tripped lightly. But he rescued himself before he fell to the ground. She smashed into him, making sure he could feel the full blow of her weight, even though she knew she had not many. She was untop of him. She was jst about to give him the victory bite when she could feeel him squirm underneath her. Now most would not think this as much but it was more like he was having a seizure. His ehad wa slamming against the gorund. His eyes were rolling to the back of his head. There was white stuff spewing form his mouth. Fireweed ran at full speed pushing her away rushing over to her only kit. He was lieing now no longer breathing. This could not be ahppening. Did she just kill someone. She felt a tail on her shoulder. It was her best female friend aspen right beside her. Then fireweed was their staring into her eyes. She could see the anger and ahtred, and yet the words came out motherly.

"I don't want to see you die. I promised your father I would take care of you, but the valley clan does not take death as a mistake. They will kill you. I want you to run now get way as fast as possible."

"bur it is so cold"

"then let our spirit leaders watch over you. If you do not go now then you will surely die. I am going to got ell them and when I come back I would very much like to see you gone. I no you have no intention of killing my son. You are no murderer.but the valleyclan will not see it that way.

And now she was here. She walked for many hours now, and she she had no idea if it was sun high or sunset. The blizzard layered the sky from view. She walked a few feet before she could feel the weight of walking make her faint. She was falling to the ground. Her head slamming against the ground. Her little body slipping down and falling into the feet of another cat. A ginger female by the name of squirrelpaw.
