Sandstorm's regret.

Sandstorm wished Firestar was next to her.

She missed him.

Sandstorm knew her mate was grieving too, but not for her, he was grieving for Spottedleaf, his first love.

If only I gave him a chance earlier, if only I never let him onto the battlefield, if only.

Sandstorm turned her head to the sky, she knew that if Spottedleaf's spirit lived on, Firestar would be curling up in a Starclan nest with her.

They had kits, yet, and Sandstorm didn't know wether or not she should be thankful Mapleshade unsheathed her claws on the former Medicine cat.

If only.
