Mothwing's eyes widened and she was quick to say, "d-d do you mean you have a father named Hawkfrost?" Did he have kits? That must have been the answer. Hawkfrost shook his head. "No. I think that I had a "father" named Tigerstar…and my mother…Sasha?" Mothwing's throat closed. "That's funny." She laughed slightly, trying to rid the thought that Hawkfrost was here and now. "I have a brother named Hawkfrost who looks just like you but…he's dead." She confirmed herself. "He was killed by his brother Brambleclaw, and he's gone." Brambleclaw. The name seemed to slap Hawkfrost in the face. His lips curled in a snarl, but he wasn't positively sure why. It soon came to him that the reason he was cut open in that strange forest was because of…Brambleclaw.

"I'm sorry to end this conversation, it's riveting, really, but I'm bleeding to death at the moment…" Hawkfrost said surprisingly blunt sounding. "Oh, right." Mothwing stammered, and hustled Hawkfrost over to the corner. A cat sitting the tree yelled, "Shadowclan, the meeting is over. Clear out!" And soon, three other cats repeated the same thing but instead of Shadowclan, said Windclan, Thunderclan and finally Riverclan. The name rang in Hawkfrost's ears. "Did we live in Riverclan?" Hawkfrost asked Mothwing skeptically. Mothwing nodded distractedly, as she looked like she was busy smearing herbs onto Hawkfrost's wounds. She handed him a few seeds, and once Hawkfrost ate them, he was out cold.

Hawkfrost woke up and found himself sprawled out on a pile of moss, his wound clotted with dressing and bandages. "Where am I?" He groaned. Mothwing was leaning over him, her eyes clouded with worry and confusion. "You're awake. Good." Hawkfrost sat up and said, "yeah, sure. Now I have questions…a lot." Mothwing smiled slightly. "Well. I just saw my dead brother stumble into our Gathering. I have a few questions as well." Hawkfrost nodded. "Fair enough. First of all, where is this "Brambleclaw" now?" Mothwing looked reluctant, but answered quickly. "Correction: Bramblestar. The past leader died and then he stepped in."

"Did I like Brambleclaw?"

"Er…no. You tried to kill him but he beat you too it."

"Oh. Why do I remember a shady forest then?"

"After you died, you went there. And then once you arrived there, you were killed. Again."

"By who?"

Mothwing swallowed hard. "Brambleclaw."

"Oh, and another question-"

"No, wait. It's my turn."

"Ask away."

"Why are you here?"

"After I was killed by this "Brambleclaw" a second time, I guess I was reborn in this field. Don't ask me how. Okay, my turn."

"Fine."

"Why did I try to kill Brambleclaw?"

"Greed. You wanted to rule the forest, so you tried to kill the current leader."

"Last question."

"I'm all ears."

"Where is Bramblestar?"
