Hate's a strong word. But then how exactly would Dawnpaw, a FireClan cat, describe her feeling of Stormpaw of IceClan, when they first meet as kits, each out on an adventure? And now they even have to go on a journey together. "StarClan must hate me."

Her mother died giving birth to her and her littermates, and so Amberpaw's father treats them like they don't even exist. The most logical way then, she decides, is to live a life without having a mate. But one tom is starting to get in the way of her vow, and then, of course, she has to fall off a cliff, and into the paws of an evil group of cats.

It started as a simple, harmless idea, but quickly spiraled into something darker. Can Duskfire save her Clan in time? Two-shot.
