"I can't believe you." Tears were streaming down Ambertail's face. This couldn't be happening. It couldn't be real.

"I'm so sorry..." Darkfeather apologized. "But I'm telling the truth. Your father is dead."

"No! You're lying!" Ambertail's snarled. "Is this some cruel trick?"

"I wish," Darkfeather sighed. "But it isn't. I assure you."

"Oh please!" Ambertail snarled. "My father was one of the strongest cats in the Clan, and you dare lie to me that he was defeated by a Clanmate?"

"Ambertail, for once, stop being stubborn and open your eyes!" Darkfeather hissed.

"Fine, I will. I'll never trust anyone again."
