Stormberry was awakened by a strange sound coming from the bushes behind her den, she crept over to the bush and immediately smelt something. Shadowclan! Wait, it was just one cat. Stormberry leaped onto the shadowclan cat and hissed. "AAAHHH!" The shadowclan cat yelled. "Don't hurt me! I'm already weak!" The shadowclan cat yowled in pain. Stormberry gave her a look and realized the she-cats wounds, they were bad. "Ok, but your coming with me!" Stormberry told the cat loud and clear. They both trotted over to the leaders den and Spottedstar walked out of it. "What's this Stormberry?" Spottedstar questioned. "I found this cat behind my den sleeping in the bushes." Stormberry said giving the shadowclan cat a glare. "State your purpose at once, or you will not ever be healed again from the wounds we would give!" Spottedstar told the cat turning her pupils into slits. "I don't want to talk about it…" The shadowclan cat said embarrassed. "...I will give you time to make yourself feel comfortable talking to me about whatever reason you are here for." Spottedstar said calmly. Stormberry walked over to the cat and lead her over to medicine den. Stormberry treated her wounds and gave her poppy seeds so she would sleep without any pain. As this all happened the shadowclan cat fell asleep, but Stormberry smelt something on her scars...is that...kit blood!? Stormberry gasped and slowly walked backwards and jolted off to the moonstone. "Starclan! There is a shadowclan cat in our clan, I smelt kit blood on her and I need some explaining." Stormberry said nervously. "Don't worry Stormberry, she is not evil. She has had a bad past though…" Said a starclan cat as he and all of the other cats faded away. "Wait! I'm not so sure...but if you say so…" Said Stormberry. Stormberry jolted off to her camp and went into her den. She couldn't sleep, she was still scared of this strange cat in her den, but she trusted starclan and eventually fell asleep. In the morning the shadowclan cat was awake and told Stormberry, "Thanks for treating my wounds...I appreciate it." "No problem...could you tell me why your here?" Stormberry said calmly. "Ok…" Said the shadowclan cat. "(Flashback) Stormberry, this is my story...I was in the nursery with my four beautiful kits curled up against me. I was happy until I saw my old friend, she gave me an evil glare. I curled up against my kits even more, I saw her running at me. It's all a blur but I remember my kits...squealing extremely loud but then...it stopped...all of it...my evil friend killed my kits and lied to the leader telling him I killed my kits! I was chased out of camp and given terrible wounds…(End of flashback) that's my story...Stormberry…" the devastating story made Stormberry sob. Stormberry gave the shadowclan she cat a lick and asked her, "Whats your name?" "Heatherforest" replied the shadowclan cat. Stormberry raced over to Spottedstar and told Heatherforest's story. Stormberry walked back over to her den and by now, it was night. Heatherforest was asleep already. Stormberry thought...what mysteries lie beneath Heatherforest's friend?
