My internt is being demented, or else ths would have been up days ago.


Sabriel's P.O.V.

I shuttered as I glanced up at Spark's, bloody, limp body. He was dead, and just the sight of his usual glossy, blood red pelt, now dull and spiked with blood, sent a shiver of guilt through me, he did making sure I lived, it was my fault he was dead. I stopped dragging his as he entered a ferny area, I'd rest here tonight then go the rest of the way back in the morning, I gurled up a fe tail lengths away from Spark, and with one last glance I whispered, "I'm sorry."


Banestep's P.O.V.

I sighed as I came to a halt near the Wetclan border, I was a horrible cat, I'd just hurt Moonsong, and I hated myself for it, with one last heart beat of hesitation I ran back the way I'd came, searching for Moonsong, "Hey, Banetsep!" I heard a mew and turned to see Bravepaw and Maskedpaw, prey at there paws, "look how much prey we caught! We're the best hunting team in the forest!" he mewed happily.

"Well done, um, both of you continue hunting, I'll asked Shadowfoot about battle trianing sometime." I mewed, I saw excitement flash in there eyes and then nodded. Then I turned and continued on.

"Moonsong!" I called as I spotted her, she turned to me, her eyes dull with hurt, she opened her mouth to spek but I interrupted her, "Moonsong, I'm sorry, I was wrong to say that to you, and if you completely hate me now, I understand, you were right though, about everything, I an hot headed, I do start most of the fights. I think maybe I say to much but.." I trialed off at her swept her tail over my mouth.

"Banestep, it's ok, I understen, but I need to know, do you love me?" she asked.

I stared at her for a second, then nodded, "yes, I love you." I mewed to her.

Moonsong's eye widened as if she hadn't expected that answer, truthfully, niether did I, and soon I felt guil prick in me, I'd never love her as much as I loved Cometstreak, and I knew that was wrong.


Stealthfoot's P.O.V.

"Hey Stealthfoot." I heard Wishdream mew as she approached, her eyes gleaming.

"Hello, Wishdream." I mewed, sitting up from a crouch.

"Did you hear the great news?" she asked.

"What great news?" I asked, confused.

"Tinystorm's having kits, your kits." she mewed happily.

I leapt to my paws, "What! Really?" I asked.

"Yeah really, why would I lie?' he responded, twitching her ear.

"Where is she?" I asked the grey she cat before me

"The medicine cat's de-" I cut her off as I ran toward the den, I couldn't believe I was going to be a father!

"Tinystorm!" I mewed as I entered the den and saw her tortoiseshell pelt, she turned to me and purred, running over to me, "Kits huh?" I said licking her ear, she nodded and touched her nose to my cheek.

"This is great news for Wetclan." Goldenpelt mewed padding over and sitting down, curling her tail around her paws.

"When are they dew?" I asked , Tinystorm looked just as interested.

"I'd say about five to six moons." she mewed.


Banestep's P.O.V.

I sighed as I saw Larkwing prancing toward me, "Hi, Banestep, wanna come hunting? Just me and you?" she asked, other suggestion hidden in that one suggestion.

"No, I'm told Bravepaw and Maskedpaw I'd take them battle training." I mewed.

"How about after you do that?" she asked

I shook my head, "I'm taking Bravepaw." I told her.

"Can't you do that some other time? It's never going to wok if we don't have time alone.

"What's not going to work?" I asked, confused.

"Us, Banestep, it's like you never have time for me anymore." she said her dark eyes holding slight sadness.

"You talk like we're mates." I mewed to her.

"Aren't we?" she asked.

"No, Moonsong's my mate." I told her.

"What! Moonsong? Banestep you'll regret this!" she hissed.

""If you say so, I mewed then padded away as I spotted Shadowfoot and Cometblaze making there way toward the entrance, "Hey Shadowfoot, is it ok if I take Maskedpaw to do some battl training with Bravepaw?" I asked catching up to them just before the entrance.

"Sure Banestep, thank you,." she mewed to me.

"Will you take Spiritpaw too?" Cometblaze asked, I nodded then they continued out of camp, I watched them go the turned to the apprentice den.

"Banestep! Just the tom I was looking for." Rainclaw mewed as he approached me.

"Hello, Rainclaw" I mewed.

"Listen, can you do me a big favor? Will you bring Sootpaw battle training and asses his skills? He's getting on and I thinks it's almost times he's made a warrior." the grey tom before me mewed.

"Sure, I let you know what I think later, ok?" I mewed, he nodded and padded away. I continued to the apprentice den were most of the apprentices we lounging around, "Maskedpaw, Spiritpaw, and Sootpaw, you mentors asked me to take you battle training, Bravepaw, you come to." I mewed.

Sootpaw let out an annoyed hiss, "Why do I have to train with these novas apprentices?" he complained getting to his paws.

Bravepaw leapt to him paw, "Who you calling a novas?" he snapped.

"Bravepaw enough, you'll get a chance to show him you're not a novas at the training field." I said giving him a warning glance. Then the four apprentices followed me out of the den, Sootpaw complaining all along. I sighed this was going to be a long training session.
