I tried so hard not to fall in love. But… it happened anyways. There was just something about him… the way his pelt felt when it brushed up against mine… the warmth in his eyes… I couldn't resist. I let it happen. I let myself fall in love.
And now… my beloved mentor is dead. She died protecting Sorreltail from the badgers. She died because of me.
Because I wasn't there. I had left Thunderclan. I was going to live life as a loner, with my love. It was going to be just the two of us. Then, we met Midnight. She told us about her kin. The badgers were going to attack the cats of Thunderclan! We rushed back, but we were too late. She was already just moments from death. She told me that Starclan had said she would not live a long life. That they had already decided this would happen. But I couldn't help but think it was y fault. If I had gotten there earlier, she might have lived. If I had never left in the first place, she would have lived. But now it's too late. She's gone, forever…
