Loststar began her story as soon as Silverpaw settled down.

"Not to many moons ago on the day I became deputy I went on a patrol on my own to let my excitement go down.......at the time my name was Losttail"

*****

"Losttail where are you going?" Asked a tom who looked almost as if he lived in the trees his cent was strong from the tree sap that was stuck in his fur witch was the reason that the clan avoided touching him as much as possible and he considered it an insult to even mention the sap around him unless you were the medicine cat.

Just out for a walk Oakstar I plan on being back in time to set up patrols see you later.

After checking the borders a cent reached Losttail and she stopped in her tracks and instinctively went into a crouch and edged forward slowly approaching her target.

When the intruder was in sight Losttail was startled to find a white she-cat looking at her hiding place and the shock grew when the she-cat started speaking to her.

"You can stop hiding I know your there..."

Losttail walked to the she-cat cautiously in case it was an ambush then she asked "Who are you? and what are you doing on StormClan territory?"

"The she-cat studied Losttail as if she was deciding if it was safe to speak then "My name is Tina I am what you clan cats call a rogue I am here because I cant go any where until I have kitted and maybe your ancestors can save my kits from mine."

"Well maybe you should come to my camp and I can see if you can stay until your kits are old enough to travel" Losttail insisted and Tina agreed that it was safer than staying out where a patrol would have seen and possibly attacked her.

Oakstar allowed your mother to take shelter with us and I took responsibility caring for her. I became a very close friend of hers and soon enough she had two beautiful kits you and your poor sister Snowkit who couldn't make it through the night and your mother died giving you life.

Now I have told you all I know and I am leaving.

Silverpaw looked at Bluepaw and Crescentpaw and said "I know it is hard to believe but that's why I needed you to hear it with me now instead of later in a more difficult situation however I am sorry it happened at all."

"We will always call you our brother no mater what anyone says I promise"Bluepaw declared and he and Crescentpaw sat with there stepbrother and began comforting him as best as they could.
