Lost

*Ashpaw's P.O.V.* Tigerpaw is still in the medicine den. He's pretty banged up. He got into separate fights with Dawnpelt, Breezepelt, and Romanclaw. As far as I'm concerned, that was quite foolish of him. The battle is starting to die down. I can tell that Blackstar is getting very weak. He's pretty old too, so that's weakening him even more. I can feel tiredness pulsing off of him. But something else is there to, in the back of his mind, a strange blackness that I can't identify. Then it came to me, the feeling was death.

*Petalpaw's P.O.V.* Tigerpaw is getting weaker; Jayfeather is doing all he can to save him. I've treated all the other patients. I'm worried about him, when Foxleap brought his limp body in here I thought he was dead, he wasn't, but he was close. He's getting better, but I don't think he'll ever fully recover from some of the wounds. Tigerpaw must survive, he's my littermate, I don't know what Ashpaw and I would do without him. I'm the brains, Tigerpaw's the brawn, and Ashpaw's the mix of both. What would we do without Tigerpaw?

*Ashpaw's P.O.V.* Thunderclan won the battle. Daisy was killed in the battle and Tigerpaw is still wounded. Thornclaw and Lilytail came back from making sure Shadowclan actually left Thunderclan territory. They had news. "Blackstar lost his ninth life." Thornclaw announced. Ripples of shock burst through the camp. I didn't understand why they all looked so shocked. Couldn't everyone feel the black hole of death in the back of his mind? They must not have looked hard enough. I decided. But then again, they probably were focused on the battle.

*Tigerpaw's P.O.V.* I opened my eyes to see blinding dawn light. "Jayfeather, he's awake!" Petalpaw exclaimed.

"How long was I out?" I asked.

"Three days." Jayfeather replied.

I was surprised to hear that. "When did the battle end?" I asked.

"Same day Romanclaw knocked you into unconsciousness." Petalpaw replied.

Wow, I was out a LONG time. Petalpaw told me that Blackstar had lost his ninth life. Romanclaw was Romanstar now. Great, just my luck, the person who knocked me out is now the leader of Shadowclan. His deputy is Tigerheart, his and Tawnypelt's son. Great, Shadowclan has a strong warrior as its leader and another one as deputy.

"What else has happened while I was out?" I asked.

"Jayfeather and I have just been healing the wounds from the battle, mostly you." Petalpaw answered.

"Any deaths?" I asked. I could tell that was a sore subject for them.

"We lost Daisy… and you died for about an hour, we were about to put you out for vigil when you woke up." Petalpaw answered my question, but I could hear the fear in her voice.

The minute she said that, I remembered talking to Firestar and Yellowfang, they're both dead. Could it be true? Did I really die? I couldn't have, I'm obviously still alive.

"I need to go for a walk, just to stretch my legs." I told them.

"Okay, but don't be too long Tigerpaw, your wounds are still healing." Jayfeather told me.

With that, I stalked off out of the camp.
