Step
one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it's just a
talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on
through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and
you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
And you
begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong, I lost a
friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have
stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Let
him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try
to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a
list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And
pray to God he hears you
And pray to God he hears you
Where
did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the
bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I
known how to save a life
As he begins to raise his voice
You
lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the
road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of
two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just
not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came
Where
did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the
bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I
known how to save a life
Come on, Whitethroat." I meowed, trying not to let my frustration get the better of me. "You know those herbs work!"
"I-I can't, Littlecloud." Whitethroat meowed. "What if it doesn't work?"

"I'm leaving." Whitethroat turned and bounded away, heading for Twolegplace.
"Whitethroat…no." Littlecloud stared after the retreating shape, before turning and padding towards the ShadowClan camp.
"Oh, Whitethroat…please come back."
Where

"Well?" Blackfoot, one of the Clan's senior warriors, stared down at Littlecloud. "Where have you been?"
"I have herbs." Littlecloud meowed shakily. Something like hope flared in Blackfoot's eyes, but it was gone before Littlecloud could ask.
"Come. Runningnose will hear of this."
Where
did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the
bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I
known how to save a life
"You say you have herbs?" Runningnose questioned. 'What kind?"
"I don't know..." Littlecloud trailed away, looking down at his paws. Runningnose gave him a knowing look.
As

"Littlecloud!" a voice hissed from the ThunderClan side of the border. A clump of ferns waved around wildly, and Fireheart stepped out.
"Fireheart, it's good to see you. How's Cinderpelt?" he asked, remembering that Fireheart had helped keep his and Whitethroat's secret.
"She's fine…" the flame-colored warrior looked as if he had swallowed mouse bile.
"Fireheart, what's wrong?"
"It's Whitethroat…he's dead."
"What?" I yowled, unconvinced. I couldn't believe that Whitethroat, my best friend, was gone…just like that. "How did he die?"
"Tigerclaw."

LATER…
There was a rustling at the entrance to the ShadowClan camp. Littlecloud was in his den, sleeping peacefully.
"Why are you here?" Blackfoot meowed.
"I have left those weak ThunderClan fools…Where is your leader, I must speak to him!" a voice answered
"We have no leader, for now." Blackfoot meowed.
"Well…I could be the new leader. Why don't we call a Clan meeting and see what the other cats think?"
"Cats of ShadowClan, I present to you your new leader!" Blackfoot yowled. Cats began to voice their approval. Littlecloud pushed his way out of his den, eager to see the new leader of ShadowClan. What he saw nearly stopped him in his tracks. The cat standing in the middle of the clearing looked so unfamiliar, but Littlecloud knew that look anywhere…
Tigerclaw.
"No…" he meowed, "Oh…no"
The massive tabby turned and looked straight at him, and for the first time, Littlecloud was relieved that he had chosen to become a Medicine Cat.
So he couldn't be harmed.
