Moonlight spread around the Clans. Everyone in ThunderClan was going to go to sleep.

"Tommorow, I'll assign you your mentor, Oakpaw." Petalstar mewed.

The apprentice nodded.

"But, get some rest. I built you a nest in the apprentice's den." She mewed.

The brown tom nodded and padded away to the Apprentice's Den, his first time sleeping in his true Clan.

The light gray she-cat padded into the Warrior's den, silently padding the deputy. He awoke, and the two ran out of the Den. Skycloud grabbed a squirrel, and the two raced to the lake.

"When shall we become mates... in public, my love?" The white cat mewed.

Petalstar purred. "Soon. It's hard not acting like your not my date in the Sunlight." She said.

Skycloud licked her. "You." He purred.

Petalstar licked the white cat's nose. "You." She purred elegantly.

Oakpaw had woke up, after sleeping a bit. He couldn't fall back to sleep after. The tom got up, out of his nest, and slowly padded out into the Camp Clearing. He noticed two cats, a light gray cat and a white cat, eating a squirrel together.

Petalstar and Skycloud!

Were they...mates?

He took a couple of steps closer.

His paw made a soft noise in the leaves.

Petalstar jumped and looked behind her. "Don't tell anyone." She hissed.

"Petalstar, let's just make it public."

"Okay." She said, and licked him.

"How long were you guys mates for?" Oakpaw asked.

"Quite a while." Petalstar purred. The white tom licked her.

"Well, I'll leave you two alone. Night!" Oakpaw said, and ran towards the Thunderpath.

The apprentice looked at the blood that was in front of his paws.

Truthkit's.

And there, about five feet from him, was his...tail.

Oakpaw stepped onto the Thunderpath, and picked up the smashed tail. He grabbed it and went back to the grass, quickly dug a hole, stuffed it in there, and put the dirt on top of it. He rubbed it, upsettingly, and then turned to the Thunderpath. He looked both ways, and sprinted across it. He padded to the SkyClan territory. He stepped up to the border. He felt as if he was, needed.

"There you are." A voice purred.

Oakpaw blinked as a ginger cat came out of the shadows.

"Hello, son." Leopardshine smiled.
