As Fireheart made his way through the Forest that he grew up in he thought about all the good moments he had here.
Like the time when he was asked to join the clan, or the time when he rescued kits as an apprentice, even the time he and Graystripe brought Windclan back these memories were sweet, but this life was no more.
Now I am nothing but a loner with no point in life.
He never even got to say goodbye to Graystripe, and tell him that he could never have had a better friend.
After traveling for a while Fireheart got to the Thunderpath that separated the Twolegplace and the forest. He looked at the forest and knew no more would he be able to come here again and then he looked at the twolegplace and knew that his future lay somewhere in there. He glanced one last time at the Forest before running across the Thunderpath and going straight into the Twolegplace.
Sandstorms POV
Sandstorm couldn't believe Fireheart was gone, and that she probably would never see him again. She felt so heart-broken, she didn't even have enough time to tell him that she loves him. She should go to Bluestar and demand Firehearts return, but Sandstorm knew it was too late for that.
She watched as Bluestar came out of her den and got onto the highrock and mewed "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather here beneath the highrock for a clan meeting". When all cats gathered around she started.
"I'm sure you all know that Fireheart betrayed his clan and for that his treachery I have exiled him".
Yowls of protest came from the clan though some had happy looks, mainly Darkstripe and Dustpelt.
"How could you exile Fireheart are you mousebrained", Cloudpaw yelled.
Bluestar just stared him down but didn't say anything, even though Sandstorm agreed with Cloudpaw she would never have said that to Bluestar.
Sandstorm quickly went over too Cloudpaw and told him to be quiet or he might just get himself exiled as well.
Then Bluestar mentioned that Cloudpaw needed a new mentor since Fireheart had left.
Sandstorm was wondering who would get Cloudpaw as their apprentice. When all of a sudden Bluestar mewed, "Cloudpaws new mentor will be Sandstorm".She was surprised that Bluestar had chosen her, but was happy to know that she got Cloudpaw, not only was he her first apprentice he was also a reminder of Fireheart for her. Then Sandstorm went up and touched noses with Cloudpaw and he and she went back into the crowd.
"Also the time has come to appoint a new deputy " Bluestar mewed.
"I say these words before Starclan, that the spirits of our ancestors may hear and approve my choice".
"Whitestorm will be the new deputy".
She wasn't surprised that Bluestar picked Whitestorm since he is the most experienced warrior, but she can't help but think that Fireheart should still be deputy. Thinking of Fireheart made her remember his promise that he will come back.
Fireheart POV
Fireheart walked on the hard rough ground that was not as good under his feet as was the soft forest floor he is used to. As he was walking he heard the sound of thunder in the distance and started looking for a spot to rest and sleep before it started raining.
As soon as he found a cardboard box to rest and sleep in it started raining, and Fireheart was grateful for finding this shelter just in time. Right before he drifted off to sleep he thought about how badly his situation was and that he needed a plan. After some thought he decided to find his old Twolegs and go back to being a kittypet even though the idea did not appeal to him he couldn't think of another way he would survive out here. As he was falling asleep the rain turned into a heavy downpour, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled in the distance. It only made Fireheart feel so much lonelier.
