Prologue
As Dappledrose slept, Sorrelpaw lay awake, watching her peaceful mentor and thinking about the mess of things these past few days had become. First, Nightpaw admitted his love for me. She thought, But I'm almost six moons younger than him! He's practically a warrior, while I just escaped the confines of the Nursery. As she pondered over this, a new thought crept into her mind: What if I love him back? This couldn't be. She was the apprentice medicine cat of RainClan, and the Warrior Code clearly stated that such a relationship is forbidden among the Clans. I can't like him, not in that way, never.
She got out of her nest of soft mosses and feathers and went out of the warm, cozy den into the chilly night. As she gazed up at Silverpelt, she saw her steamy breath in front of her muzzle. She reminded herself that it was nearly Leaf-Bare, when snow would fall heavily in their forest home and all herbs would die or hibernate until New-Leaf came some four moons later. She singled out the brightest star in the night sky, which she knew was her mother, who, before her untimely and tragic death five moons ago, had been leader of her Clan and who was brighter than any star. You'll be in my heart forever, Doestar.
With one last glance at the sky, she headed back into her den (or more her mentor's den) and fell into a fitful sleep, filled with her mother and Nightpaw and Silverpelt and and all else that could never be in her world.
