Hopepaw and Silverdream returned later, jaws filled with herbs. They placed them in the Medicine Cat's Den, and Silverdream turned to go hunting.

" But...aren't you tired?" Hopepaw asked anxiously. Silverdream simply shook her head, and padded out of camp. With a sigh, Hopepaw arranged the herbs, a thoughtful expression on her face.

Mysticstorm led her group of cats towards the home of the Clans. It would be a moon until they reached the territory, but still Mysticstorm was thinking about her old home. A snarl escaped her jaws. She could have been Mysticstar.

" Keep moving!" She shouted, seeing that some cats were slowing down. They were exhausted by the punishing pace Mysticstorm had set.

" We are coming, Spiritstar." She said softly, teeth bared.

" Get ready."

" Hopepaw...it is time." Hopepaw woke, seeing a StarClan cat.

" Hollystar." She greeted the former leader.

" Go to Fourtrees tonight. One other will join you, but no more. It is up to you two, to save the Clans. You have one moon, Hopepaw. StarClan goes with you." Hollystar turned to go, but saw Hopepaw trying to hide her fear.

" Have courage, young one. You are never alone." With that, Hollystar dissapeared, and Hopepaw returned to reality. She saw her mentor asleep.

" Goodbye, Fireshadow." She murmured. Hopepaw ran. If she stopped know, she knew she would turn back. The apprentice tore her way through the territory, skidding to a stop as she scented blood; and a terrifying familiar scent.

" Silverdream!" Hoepaw shouted, cries echoing throughout the forest. Darting forwards, she raced towards the source, stopping in horror at the sight which lay before her. Her friend lay almost motionless on the sandy ground. Silverdream's tabby fur was stained with blood, and there was a pool of crimson surrounding her.

" Hopepaw..." She muttered weakly.

" Stay still, you'll be fine!" Hopepaw spoke wildly, tears streaming down her face.

" No. Badger round here. Went on purpose..." Hopepaw flinched, eyes wide with horror. Silverdream had attempted to kill herself?
" Why?"

" I miss Eaglepaw...I can't go on anymore. I've tried to be brave, I've tried so very, very much...But I can't...Eaglepaw?" Silverdream's eyes began to glaze over.

" No..." Hopepaw looked up, seeing the familiar shape of the tom.

" Come now. Your must walk with StarClan now..." He spoke softly. Silverdream suddenly smiled in pure happiness. Then, her head fell to the ground, and her body shuddered, before Silverdream was still. Hopepaw wept then, floods of tears for the lost she-cat, who had so much ahead of her. She wept for Eaglepaw, being torn from the one he loved. But most of all, she wept for the apprentice who had died with Eaglepaw, for the lively spark in Silverdream's eyes when she was young. Moonhigh was appraoching, but still the white she-cat sat beside her friend, fur becoming stained with blood.

" Fireshadow." The Medicine Cat looked up.

" She is returning. Mysticstorm." A voice echoed. Silverdream appeared.

" But...you are not dead..." Was all Fireshadow could say.

" You will find my body near the river. But you must be warned. Mysticstorm is coming. Stay with your Clan.

A Bird of Hope will save the Clans..."
