Blackclaw dove into battle and attacked a FireClan tom named Lionmane. He jumped landing on the toms back and sunk his claws in. Lionmane screamed in pain and flipped him off of his back. Blackclaw tried to get to his feet but the other tom was on him in an instant, clawing at his ears. Blackclaw heaved with his hind legs claws unsheathed and sent the tom running. His blood was dripping in the snow his one of his ears were bleeding. He turned around and thought he saw his reflection. The cat looked just like him except for the ginger lightning bolts at the end of each eye.

"Thundereye?" Blackclaw meowed hoarsely. The cat nodded and leapt. Blackclaw bunched his haunches to take the impact, but instead Thundereye went right over him and landed on Raventail. Suddenly, a golden streak rammed into him. He knew who it was before he was attacked.

"Goldenfrost, no it's me." He looked up into her eyes and saw the heat of the battle had gotten to her, she didn't know who he was. She started to claw at his belly with her thorn sharp claws. He tensed up and stayed down he loved her too much to fight her no mater how much pain there was.

Suddenly she stopped and looked at him in fear, "No, NO!" Goldenfrost slowly got off of him and ran to her clan's territory.

Blackclaw jumped up and leapt after her, "Goldenfrost!" He jumped over Bloodfrost and a she-cat and landed next to her. Suddenly two apprentices came after him dragging him under their needle sharp teeth. "Goldenfrost!" he cried one last time before he blacked out.

Blackclaw woke up to Spottedflower busily standing over him. "So you're finally up," she meowed.

"Yes." He looked around Rainpaw; Spottedflower's apprentice was looking at him curiously. "What's wrong?"

"You lost a lot of blood and Spottedflower told me that I would be responsible for you," the small blue apprentice beamed with pride.

Blackclaw looked at Spottedflower, "you trained her well."

"Of course I did," she snapped. "Rainpaw, you can go hunt now," she said softly to her apprentice. When Rainpaw left Spottedflower turned to Blackclaw. "I know."

Blackclaw sat up, "Know what?" he said confused.

"Blackclaw, don't act stupid," she sighed, "I know about you and Goldenfrost."
