?'s POV

He ran and ran. He was free, he had escaped, and he would never look back. He climed the tallest tree he could find in the forest as fast as he could, but he heard a crack. Then a snap and a gasp, and the world went tumbling down, farther and farther, until the world was silent and still, and he will never look back.

Dovewing's POV

Dovewing woke to the prod on her head. She looked up to see Squirrlflight. "Dawn patrol. Fetch Hollypaw, Fernpaw, and Sorrelpaw." She said. Dovewing left the den. She felt the morning chill around her as she headed to the apprentice den. She nudged the three apprentices. "Wake up. Dawn patrol." The apprentices stirred, and they walked out of the den to the thorn barrier, and they set off.

Dovewing thought about the fight with the Dark Forest. Dovewing was still depressed. She had lost her powers. Of course I am upset! She thought. I can't do any of the things I used to! Molewhisker knocked her out of her thoughts.

"Time to mark the borders. I'll mark this area, so you can mark those parts of the boundary." He ordered.

"Sounds good." Cloudtail agreed.

She blinked. Dovewing was surprised. She didn't realize Cloudtail was so calm after the activity that has happened lately.

"I see a WindClan border patrol approaching!" Sorrelpaw chirped. Sure enough, there was a patrol containing Nightcloud, Hootpaw, Leaftail, Oatpaw, and Larkwing. As they padded to the river, Fernpaw spoke.

"Hi! I'm Fernpaw," she said, "and this is Sorrelpaw and this is Hollypaw!"

Breezepelt snorted. "You need to teach your apprentices how to keep their mouths shut."

"Maybe you need to keep your mouth shut." Molewhisker retorted.

"How dare you?" Breezepelt hissed.

Uh oh... Dovewing stood in front of Molewhisker. "Stop! You can't fight now," she said, "we're at peace in the clans."

Molewhisker sighed. "Right, okay." Breezepelt snorted, and walked away.

Cloudtail's voice startled her. "Let's get back now." The chill in the air was lifting. It was new-leaf, and the prey was coming back. As they walked back, the apprentices were chattering.

"That was mousebrained of Breezepelt." Hollypaw stated.

"I think that it was cool!" Fernpaw exclaimed.

"There was almost a fight if Dovewing didn't interfere." Sorrelpaw said, glancing at her.

"Settle down, or the morning hunting patrol will not be able to catch anything!" Cloudtail warned.

As they were going back to camp, Dovewing noticed a smell she didn't sent before.

Twoleg!
