Okay, so I was going to post this last night, (4/27/12) but I was like super tired. I think I got to WhiteWinterStar before I decided that I was going to pass out if I didn't go to sleep. Lol but now it is 10 A.M (I got up at like 8) and I'm orta refreshed! Lol enyjoy, and sorry for posting this at ten instead of midnight last night! ;)


Hollyleaf wouldn't take me into another cave! He thought, panic rising in his throat. She wouldn't! Would she?

For a moment his trust in his sister flickered. But he pushed it aside ferociously. If he couldn't trust her, who could he trust?

"You're sure?" Lionblaze asked, his gaze flickering nervously from his brother to his mate. Cinderheart nodded confidently.

"We have a place to stay, and we have plenty of poppy seeds. It's now or never, Lionblaze" She said. He sighed.

"Alright. But we have to be one hundred percent sure that he understands why we're doing this!" The gold tom said, pawing anxiously at the ground.

Cinderheart's face softened and she licked his ear comfortingly. "I know it's hard seeing your family hurt." She said gently. "But if we do this now his leg won't hurt him in the future."

"Can we stop talking about it and just do it?" Dovewing's voice was tight and somewhat forced. Cinderheart turned to face to grey she-cat, and she was surprised by the almost pained look on her face.

"O… Okay." Cinderheart said, blinking. She padded over to Hollyleaf, who was standing blankly next to Jayfeather, rhythmically stroking his side with her tail.

"Jayfeather?" Cinderheart said softly. The tom looked up at her, his blue eyes full of sadness.

"I know." He said softly. "I understand. It has to be done." He looked at his paws and closed his sightless eyes. "Go on." He whispered.

Cinderheart stared at him for a moment, then padded slowly to his side. "Jayfeather, you need to take some poppy seeds first. We don't want to hurt you. But if we don't then you'll have a limp forever."

"Fine." Jayfeather murmured, not looking up or opening his eyes. "Just do it already!" Cinderheart stared at him for a heartbeat, unsure if she should reply or not. Finally, she decided just to listen.

She stepped aside and grabbed a pawful of poppy seeds. "Eat these." She said quietly, waiting for him to move. He did as she said quickly, but he didn't say a word.

Cinderheart glanced behind her to say something to Lionblaze, but the words left her when she saw Dovewing.

The younger she-cats eyes were wide, and filled with dread. For a moment, Cinderheart was confused. Then it hit her.

Dovewing didn't want to be here. She didn't want this to happen.

She was afraid.

"It's alright." Cinderheart murmured softly, so that Dovewing was the only one who could hear. "Go. He'll be okay. Just get some moss and water." Dovewing hesitated, then nodded, relief washing over her face.

"I… I'll come back." She said as she slowly back out. "I promise."

Cinderheart nodded, knowing that Dovewing was promising herself more than her.

She watched the younger cat jump up the box steps for a moment, then she turned back to Jayfeather.

"Let's get started."

. . .

As soon as she stepped out of the window, Dovewing was running. She flew through the trees, not caring where she went or how far it was. She just needed to run.

To get away. To hide.

Finally, she felt she'd gone far enough. She knew she hadn't truly gone that far, but she didn't care. All she could think about was poor Jayfeather, and the pain she'd seen in very clear detail on his face.

Even before they'd broken his leg.

Before the real pain came.

She couldn't read minds, not like Jayfeather. But she wasn't stupid. She knew he was remembering being tortured by Breezepelt. She knew he still blamed himself.

You are such a kit! She thought angrily. You've seen plenty of cats hurt. You've been in tons of battles! What makes this any different?

None of those cats was tortured just because they're weaker than another! That's why we have the warrior code, so that no cat feels this kind of pain!

But some cats don't follow the warrior code.

Guilt pricked at her pelt, and she flinched. She should be with him. Jayfeather needed all his friends if he was ever going to heal, and she was a coward who couldn't be there for him.

Slowly, her ears rose. And when Jayfeather's screams filled the air, she was listening, ever cry like a claw, sinking deeper and deeper into her heart, until there was nothing left except the screams and the pain.

And she cried.

. . .

None of them knew why he was screaming. But he was. They all assumed Cinderheart had made a mistake, that the poppy seeds weren't working. But that wasn't the reason. Cinderheart had been too exact, and the seeds worked too fast and efficiently. They didn't know that, but he did.

He screamed because of the memories that flooded him, blocking out reality and forcing him painfully back into Breezepelt's cave.

It was dark. Well, obviously it was dark. He was blind, and he was in a cave. But it seemed… darker, if that was possible. It wasn't just typical night time darkness. This was a kind of darkness that tugged at him, wrenching his soul away and destroying him, suffocating him.

It was the depths of Breezepelt's mind.

His first thought was that the tom just wasn't thinking of anything. But he knew that wasn't true, because Breezepelt had been angry about something. Then he assumed that the black tom was blocking him. But Jayfeather didn't think that was possible.

So where was he?

Then, a sudden flash of light caught his attention. Curious, he followed it. More light flooded him, blinding him for a moment. Then a clearing with two cats came into view.

One was obviously Breezepelt, and the other….

No! Jayfeather frozen. The other cat was Tigerstar.

He's dead! Jayfeather wanted to scream. He can't be here!

But he was here, somehow. Grinding his teeth together, Jayfeather crouched down and listened.

"Thought you'd be clever by training apprentices alone, huh?" Tigerstar hissed scathingly. "Thought you'd be praised?"

"I was just…" Breezepelt started. Jayfeather blinked at the hint of desperation in the tom's voice.

"SILENCE!" Tigerstar snarled, his claws coming across Breezepelt's face. Jayfeather flinched involuntarily as blood seeped from the cuts.

"You will do as you are told." Tigerstar hissed, oddly calm.

Breezepelt hung his head and nodded, not darning to look into the tom's eyes. Tigerstar sneered. "Pathetic." He sneered. Breezepelt stiffened and stood still for a moment. "What? Are you as stupid as you look? Get back to training you worthless excuse for a cat!"

Breezepelt and Jayfeather flinched at the same time, and Breezepelt stalked away. Jayfeather followed, Breezepelt's thoughts echoing in his mind.

Stupid.

Pathetic.

Worthless.

Worthless…
