Cinderpaw was aware of the sounds around her. She heard her sister, "Cinderpaw! Cinderpaw!" Her voice was cracking. There was her mother, "What happened! Cinderpaw! Oh, Cinderpaw!" She sounded worried. Even Sandclaw had concern in his voice. "She slipped, I couldn't reach her, and…" Then there was Jayfeather. He sounded almost suspicious. "She'll be fine, but her leg…" He never finished even when Ambermoon tried to force him. He wouldn't. Cinderpaw tried to listen, but she couldn't. She just didn't hear anyone. She felt alone. Then she opened her eyes, but she wasn't in the Thunderclan camp.
Cinderpaw looked around. She was in meadow. It was peaceful and full of prey. Cinderpaw tried out a hunter's crouch that Rosepool showed her and stalked a mouse. Mice where her favorite, but when she was about to pounce a voice behind her scared to mouse. "No reason catching that" Cinderpaw pounced, but she missed.
She turned around. "Well I can't know! You made me lose it!" Cinderpaw yelled at the cat behind her. The cat was a very dark gray. She had battle scars, and her teeth where clearly yellow. Cinderpaw knew she must be crazy, because the cat looked somewhat see through.
The cat slowly padded over. "Yellowfang, I used to be a Thuderclan medicine cat." She gave no other information. Though she did seem to be a little uneasy, but Cinderpaw guessed she was always like that. If only she knew.
"What do you want?" Cinderpaw asked.
Yellowfang sat down. "I need you to give Jayfeather a message. He is missing the half-moon gathering, because of you."
"Well sorry" Cinderpaw half growled.
"Tell him Shades of blue, and shades of gray always a little different. The name the same, the personality is not, but only the Sky can stop Gray." Cinderpaw looked at the cat. She didn't know what she meant, but she wanted to go home. "Remember to tell Jayfeather…" That was all Cinderpaw heard before she fell back into darkness. She started to hear her mom and Jayfeather.
Cinderpaw blinked open her eyes. The first two cats she saw were Jayfeather and Ambermoon. "Mom?" Cinderpaw asked. Ambermoon smiled sweetly at her daughter. Cinderpaw saw that her father, Molewhisker, and Sandclaw where just outside Jayfeather's den. Cinderpaw tried to get up to go see them, but a sharp pain shoot through her. She let out a whimper. Jayfeather rushed to her side.
"You can't move. Your leg is broken." He stated.
"When will I get to train then?" Cinderpaw asked pathetically.
"I don't know." Jayfeather said simply. He turned to Ambermoon. "Can you leave so she can get some rest?"
Ambermoon looked at Jayfeather, but didn't move. "She just woke up."
"She woke up from a black out. She will still be really tired, so leave." Jayfeather was clearly wanting Ambermoon gone. Ambermoon wasn't one to put up a huge fight. She stood for a moment, then turned and left. Cinderpaw could see her say something to Molewhisker and Sandclaw. After a few moments they all three walked over to get some fresh kill. Ambermoon and Molewhisker shared a rabbit, while Sandclaw grabbed a raven. He didn't eat alone. Sandclaw joined his sister, Rosepool, and Blossomfall.
"Do you know what you did?" Jayfeather asked.
"I fell off the cliff." Cinderpaw answered. She was puzzled. "He knows this, so why ask me?" She thought.
Jayfeather looked like he relaxed a little. "Did you have any dreams?" Jayfeather called for his apprentice. "Birdpaw!" A small silvery cat slipped into the den.
"Yes, Jayfeather?" Birdpaw asked.
"I need you to gather more cobwebs." Birdpaw nodded. She was about to leave, but Jayfeather got in one more comment. "Bring someone with you."
Birdpaw rolled her eyes. "Fine." She left quickly. Cinderpaw saw her leave the camp with Rosepool a few minutes later.
"Are you going to answer?" Jayfeather asked. He had a small snap in voice.
"What?" Cinderpaw turned her head to face him.
Jayfeather shuffled his paws. "I asked you what you dreamed about. If you dreamed at all." The last half was more of a murmur.
"Oh! Yes I did. That reminds me. I saw a really odd cat in one of them."
Jayfeather whipped around. "What did they look like? Did they say what their name was?" Jayfeather sounded urgent.
Cinderpaw would have backed up, but she remembered her leg. "She name was Yellowfang."
Jayfeather's eyes widened. "What did she tell you?"
"You know her?"
"That doesn't matter. What did she say?" Jayfeather snapped.
Cinderpaw sighed. She knew how stubborn Jayfeather was. "She told me, to tell you, Shades of blue, and shades of gray always a little different. The name the same, the personality is not, but only the Sky can stop Gray. Do you know what she meant?" Cinderpaw asked.
Jayfeather shook his head. "No, but it's bad. I mean it's fine." Jayfeather stuttered. "Did she tell you anything else?"
"No" Cinderpaw shook her head. About that time Birdpaw slid back in the den with cobwebs. She handed them to Jayfeather. He removed Cinderpaw's bloody cobwebs, and replaced them with the fresh ones. He gave the leftover ones to Birdpaw to put in storage. Cinderpaw didn't dare move her leg, even if she couldn't feel it. The only time she felt it since she woke up was when she moved and when it was touched. Whenever one of those things happen unspeakable pain entered her leg.
The day went on. Cinderpaw had many visitors. He mother, father, Moonpaw, Badgerpaw, even Rosepool came to see her. Cinderpaw couldn't stand not moving, she wanted to so badly. Birdpaw brought her fresh kill and when Jayfeather was gone they placed moss ball, a game the kits played. Jayfeather didn't want her moving, but Birdpaw felt sorry for her. Then there was the times when she was alone. She had no one to talk to, nothing to do. She was forced to think. Cinderpaw had to think of how she wouldn't get to sleep in the apprentice den with her littermates, and how they would become so far ahead of her. She wished more that anything that she wouldn't have fallen, but she couldn't have just let her sister fall. She thought. "Could I?"
