Longtail didn't know how long he spent wandering through the Dark forest calling Snowkit's name and trying spot a flash of white or blue under the black sky that held no stars leaving Longtail in complete darkness. The damp foggy air seemed to coil around Longtail like a adder around it's prey clinging to his pelt and making it hard for him to breathe. Longtail could only stumbling around on the grassless ground with the fog tangling around his paws.

'Snowkit's not in here is he?' Longtail thought as he stopped for a break,He didn't know rather or not he's thought was true but he could only hope that it is. The tabby gave a low sigh as his legs gave out from the endless walking. He stared at the base of a tall dark barked tree as he felt his tiredness finally catch up too him. 'Maybe I should just rest and-'

"Longtail! Help!"

Longtail's half closed eyes snapped open when he heard Snowkit's cry for help. He quickly jumped up to his paws and yowled "Snowkit! Snowkit! Where are you!?" He anxiously waited for a reply. Thinking a mantra of 'Please mew,Please mew,Please mew!'

"I'm over here!"

Longtail quickly sprinted towards the sound of Snowkit's voice. Ignoring his fatigue and the power of the Dark forest slowing him down. He was focused on one thing and one thing only. Finding Snowkit and bringing him back to Starclan. He would occasionally yowl out to Snowkit to keep up his location."Snowkit?" He yowled once more.

"Behind the bush Longtail!"

Longtail instantly bursted through the bramble bush shaking out the thorn that snagged onto his pelt and left bleeding marks in there wake. When he opened his eyes again, He thought that his heart would stop from both shock and happiness.

Snowkit laid in front of him with thorn vines strapped around his tiny paws causing him to stay still unless he wanted the thorns to cut into his fur and skin.

"Snowkit!" Longtail exclaimed running over and smoothing down Snowkit's ragged pelt with long and frantic licks. Snowkit nudged him away and mewed."Longtail, You have to go back to Starclan!"

"Not without you! How did you even get here!? You know that to go near Dark forest!" Longtail hissed.

"I know but-No!" Snowkit yowled looking behind Longtail with wide fearful blue eyes. Longtail was about to asked what was wrong when heard the breath of someone behind him.

Before he could even slid his claws out, He felt pain at the back of his neck before falling down to the ground,Snowkit crying out a kitten step away from him. Blackness began to slowly take up his eyesight as he struggled to get back up.

'No! I'm so close to saving Snowkit and possibly redeeming myself!" He thought as he reached out to Snowkit and placed his paw on the kit's back. The last thing that Longtail saw was Snowkit's clear blue eyes and the last thing he heard was "That was too easy...Let's get them back to the camp."

A huge wave of pain ran through Longtail's head as he slowly cracked open his eyes."Ugh." He meowed as he tried to raise his paw to his head. Only to give a small hiss as something sharp cut his paw.

"He's waking up." A gruff voiced hiss to his right. He tried to turn his head only to give another cry of pain.

"Good. I almost that he was dead for how long he was knocked out." A familiar voice hissed before a tail jerked up his chin up causing him to close his eyes.

"Longtail! Open. Your. Eyes." A sharp command reach Longtail's ears and he felt them being clawed. He knew that it would happen again if he didn't follow the command so with all the willpower he can muster. He opened his eyes and glared into the Deep Amber ones.

"Tigerstar." He hissed.

The brown tabby merely gave a evil smirk.
