"Hi Ashpaw." I turned to see Rainpaw.

"Hey Rainpaw." I purred. She doesn't look that bad. I'm glad she didn't get injured too bad in the battle, only a few scratches.

"So I was wondering what your decision was." Rainpaw asked.

"I don't know." I sighed.

"I'm staying with my brothers and sister. Do you remember them? They're Sandpaw, Swiftpaw and Ivypaw now. I'm going to stay here in UnwantedClan." Rainpaw mewed.

"Where's Shrewpaw? He's normally always at your side." I frowned, noticing her brother's absence.

"He's angry with me. He hates my choice, he still thinks they are weak. I tried to make him see reason but he wouldn't listen." Rainpaw explained.

"Have you talked to Sandpaw, Swiftpaw or Ivypaw yet about your choice?" I asked.

"No, I'm going to surprise them." she purred.

"Your littermates will offer you forgiveness." I sighed.

"What do you mean?" she asked.

"Well they will forgive you for all the blood that was shed in their camp today. My sister won't, because of the part I played in my own brother's death." I sighed.

"She won't stay angry with you forever Ashpaw, she's your sister." Rainpaw mewed.

"I guess." I shrugged. But what if Rainpaw is wrong? What if Tawnypaw never forgives me for what happened?


"Tawnypaw." I heard my name being called, I turned around. All I could see was a bright white light. The light began fading and standing before me was two cats. A gray tom and a black tom.

"How is this even possible?" I asked.

"Mistycloud asked the same question." the gray tom grinned.

"Who are you?" I frowned.

"I'm your half-brother, Stormpaw. I died in battle long ago, against BreezeClan. You've probably already heard that story though. I know my father was quite fond of me, he did name the Clan after me." Stormpaw smiled.

"Why have you come?" I asked.

"I'm the ghost of the past." Stormpaw retorted.

"Seriously. Why have you come?" I repeated.

"To talk some sense into you." the black tom, Ravenpaw hissed.

"Why do you mean?" I frowned.

"What are you thinking, Tawnypaw? You have a chance to have our brother back." Ravenpaw growled.

"I don't want him back! Not after he killed you." I hissed.

"Grieve has taken over your heart! Tawnypaw, keep in mind that if you let Ashpaw leave tomorrow, you will never see him again." Ravenpaw spat. Stormpaw was watching Ravenpaw and me carefully, waiting for me to reply.

"I don't care if I never see him again!" I scowled.

"You don't mean that." Stormpaw said.

"What would you know?" I scoffed.

"I know that my brother forgave my sister for killing me." Stormpaw smirked.

"Well that was Fuzzynose's decision, not mine." I growled.

"Tawnypaw, don't be stubborn." Stormpaw retorted.

"I'm not being stubborn!" I spat, turning away.

"Tawnypaw, don't make decisions you'll regret." Ravenpaw called but I ignored him. Ashpaw killed him. Why should I forgive him?
