Prologue

Frostpaw stood frozen in the clearing as she listened to Icepaw's story. All of their clanmates were clustered around her with their fur bristling and eyes wide.

"An-and sh-she just stood there, and w-watched the badger ki-kill Berrykit!" Icepaw finished and pressed her face into Snowshine's fur. Every cat in the clearing stared at Frostpaw with a mixture of shock, rage, and hate.

"Icepaw, that's not true! I fought the badger and drove it off!" Frostpaw cried desperately. "Tell them how I fought off the badger Icepaw!" Icepaw said nothing and just buried her face deeper into Snowshine's fur.

"Shh, it's alright dear, you've been through a lot," Snowshine comforted Icepaw and stroked her back with her tail. Goldensun stepped up to the pair and licked Icepaw's ear before whirling on Frostpaw with hate filled eyes.

"You murderer!" he screeched. "How could you let an innocent kit die! You were probably also responsible for Redkit's death too!" The clan erupted into caterwauls, calling for Frostpaw's exilement or death. Frostpaw just stared at Goldensun, the cat she loved and the cat who promised to be her mate, turning on her without a moment's hesitation. Frostpaw approached Icepaw despite the hisses and growls.

"Icepaw… what's going on?" she asked her gently. "You saw me fight the badger off, why are you saying this?" Snowshine bared her teeth at Frostpaw, her own daughter, and hissed. Frostpaw retreated and sank to the ground. 'What is happening? Icepaw saw me fight the badger off. Why would she make up stories about me?' Frostpaw thought to herself while her clanmates hissed and spat at her. Leafstar padded up to her.

"We found Berrykit's body, mangled and crushed," Leafstar stated. "If you claim to have driven the badger off then how did he die?"

"I-I don't know," as soon as she said this angry yowls filled the clearing. Leafstar shook her head, her eyes blazing. Frostpaw screeched, "Why won't you believe me?! I'm your clanmate and Finchstar's daughter! I had no reason to kill Berrykit!" She desperately looked at every one of her clanmates, hoping to find one who believed her, but no one did.

"And isn't it also true that you were hunting in the same part of the woods that we found Redkit's body in?" Leafstar questioned her again.

"W-well yes, bu-" she was interrupted by yowls and screeches of outrage. Frostpaw flattened her ears to her skull and made herself as small as possible. Leafstar glared down at her.

"For your crimes you will be exiled and if we ever see you in our territory again, we will kill you," Leafstar's words were met with meows of agreement. Frostpaw opened and closed her mouth in horror. 'Exiled…' Frostpaw thought to herself, trying to make sense of the situation. 'I'm being exiled… for crimes I didn't do. Why… why is Icepaw doing this to me?' Leafstar snapped her head around and ordered "Goldensun, take her out of the territory." Goldensun nodded and stalked towards her.

"W-wait," Frostpaw saw Icepaw stand up on shaky legs. "I want to say goodbye to Frostpaw. She was my adopted sister after all…"

Leafstar's eyes softened and she said gently, "Icepaw, you were very brave to tell us what you saw. You may see this murderer off if you wish." Icepaw dipped her head and Goldensun hauled Frostpaw onto her paws. Frostpaw did nothing as she was shoved along by the love of her life to be exiled. She still didn't know what was going on or why it was happening. Her brain was muddled with fear, confusion, and betrayal as the trio made their way to the edge of Forestclan territory. When they got to the border they stopped. That's when Goldensun suddenly lashed out at Frostpaw, his claws skriking her throat. Frostpaw barely had time to register what was happening before she fell to the ground in a pool of her own blood.

"You acted wonderfully Icepaw," Goldensun purred and nuzzled Icepaw's cheek.

"They were all too easy to fool," Icepaw said. "And Frostpaw here was the easiest out of all of them." Frostpaw gurgled in response, blood pouring out of her mouth. The two cats laughed.

"I never really liked you, you were so annoying and clingy," Goldensun said. Frostpaw felt like her heart was being ripped out of her chest and torn to pieces. "You fell right into our trap," Goldensun said smugly. Icepaw and Goldensun walked away purring with their tails twined. Frostpaw's vision grew dimmer as she watched them pad back into the forest. 'How could I have been so blind,' was her only thought before she slipped away into darkness.
