Lightmoon POV

I rushed into the Healer's den, Emberspots hard on my paws. Catching sight of the pitiful matted shape on the floor of the den I let out a strangled cry of anguish that was echoed by Emberspots. I hurried over and buried my nose into Dapplepatch's feverish pelt. Dapplepatch was the first and-thank the Stars- only victim of greencough a sickness deadly enough to kill even the strongest warrior if left untreated. And thanks to leaf-bare's chill, catmint, the only herb that could heal the sickness was nearly impossible to find. Hawksight had found some yesterday at the bottom of the gorge and Emberspots had risked his neck climbing down to get it- but now it looked as if the cure had come too late, there was no improvement in Dapplepatch's condition, if anything she looked worse.

"I'm sorry. I can do no more. She is in the paws of the Stars now." Hawksight murmured softly, stepping back from mother to let Emberspots and I say our final good-byes.

Dapplepatch lifted her head weakly and met my different-colored gaze with her blue one, letting out a raspy purr she said, "You have grown into a fine LeopardClan warrior, I could never be prouder of you." I choked back another cry of grief at her words; I didn't want to say good-bye. Dapplepatch turned to Emberspots, a strange look in her eyes as she stared at her mate. However, when she spoke it was to me again, "Lightmoon I must speak with your father privately." I hesitate but Hawksight gently nudged me to my feet and I reluctantly let him lead me out of the den.

Emberspots POV

I stared down at the she-cat I loved in dismay. How could she leave me? How could she leave our daughter?

As soon as Lightmoon was gone Dapplepatch turned to me, "I must thank you Emberspots, for all you have done for Lightmoon, for caring for her even though she is not your daughter."

I drew back, stung, Not my daughter? Of course she's my daughter! Dapplepatch must have lost her mind. I think to myself but I can't help the snarl in my voice when I demand, "What are you talking about Dapplepatch?"

Dapplepatch's beautiful blue eyes close briefly in pain and when she opened them they were full of regret and sorrow, "You didn't know. I thought you knew, Emberspots, I'm sorry it had to come out this way."

The full force of her betrayal slammed into me and I barely restrained my anger when I asked, "Who is the father?"

Dapplepatch hesitated, "Tinyroar- a LionClan warrior." She said at last. Before I could open my mouth the traitorous she-cat continued, "Emberspots, you must promise me that you will tell no cat of this, least of all Lightmoon. She cares too much for the Warrior Laws she would be heartbroken if she knew." My anger rose, she dares to tell me what to do? As if I owe her anything! She lied to me she betrayed me! I had loved her and she betrayed me. And the other one too, Lightmoon, the Half-Clan scum! How could I ever have claimed her to be mine? Her very existence defiles LeopardClan. Dapplepatch will pay for what she's done I swear on the Stars that she will pay. Of course soon she will be among the Stars herself so I must find another way. Lightmoon, Dapplepatch says she does not know, well why should I be the only one to suffer from Dapplepatch's lies? No I will tell Lightmoon. I decide, she will be crushed but then that is nothing more than she deserves. Why stop there though? Why not tell the whole clan? Or, better yet, all three clans. At the next Meet-Moon Dapplepatch's secret will be revealed. No one will trust Lightmoon then.

I turned back to Dapplepatch, "You lied to me. I thought you loved me as much as I loved you… but I was wrong." I stalked out of the den leaving the traitorous she-cat to die alone.

Lightmoon POV

I followed Emberspots through the forest happily. My father had come up to me today and invited me hunting, just the two of us. Since Dapplepatch's death he had been very distant and I had thought he did not want to be around me because I reminded of his dead mate but then he had approached me and asked to go hunting so I assumed that he was trying to get past his grief just as I was. However, Emberspots had not said a word since we left camp and though the new-leaf forest was filled with prey he did not stop to hunt.

"I'm really glad you asked me to come hunting with you Emberspots it has been far too long since we last went hunting together." I say, trying to break the silence. Emberspots paused in his brisk pace but said nothing as he continued on through the forest. Sensing something was wrong, I said, "Emberspots? Is something wrong? You've hardly spoken a word since we left the camp. Father?"

Suddenly Emberspots whipped around to stand muzzle to muzzle with me, his amber eyes blazing with undisguised hatred, "I am not your father!" He spat.

My fur bristled and my eyes grew wide with shock, "What are you talking about? Of course you are."

"No I'm not. You are not my daughter. Dapplepatch lied. You aren't even fully LeopardClan. Your father was some fox-hearted LionClan warrior. Haven't you ever wondered why you don't have real spots? Your mother was a traitor and as far as I'm concerned you are too. How can any cat trust you when you're half LionClan? But don't worry I won't tell Stormstar, no that would be too good for you, I will tell all the clans at the next Meet-Moon and then no cat will trust you." Emberspots spat.

My pelt was fluffed out and I stumbled backwards, "N-no you're lying!" I wailed but the look in Emberspots' amber eyes told me he wasn't. No it can't be. I can't be Half-Clan its against the Warrior Laws! I shouldn't exist! I spun and ran away from the cat I had always believed to be my father as fast as my paws could carry me.

As I ran, Emberspots' words followed me, you are not my daughter… half LionClan… no cat will trust you. Who is my father? Which LionClan cat betrayed his clan and the Warrior Laws just as my mother did? As I thought about it the answer became excruciatingly obvious. I remembered the way Tinyroar had stared at me at my first gathering, how Dapplepatch had tried to cover me with her tail as if to protect me when he was near, the pride in his eyes when he said I'd have made a great LionClan warrior.

Instinctively, my paws carried me straight into camp and toward the bramble thicket that hid the Healer's den. I started to dash through the entrance when I slammed into Hawksight who was on his way out of the den. Instead of scooting away when I ran into Hawksight I pressed myself closer into his flank.

"Lightmoon!" Hawksight exclaimed, "What's wrong? You're trembling and acting as if all of LionClan were invading." He murmured between ferocious licks.

I drew back slightly at the mention of LionClan. "Hawksight what if a cat found out that all she ever knew to be true about herself was a lie?" my voice shook as I spoke.

Hawksight lifted his head, "I'm afraid I don't understand the question."

I tried again, "What if, say, a rabbit believed she was a rabbit but then found out that she was really a squirrel? Which would she be a rabbit or a squirrel? Where would her loyalties lie?"

Hawksight let out an amused purr, "For one I think that any squirrel that thinks she's a rabbit would have to be blinder than me." Normally the joke would have drawn a purr of amusement from me but I couldn't bring myself to laugh now. When I did not share his amusement, Hawksight went on, "I think that she would have to decide where her heart lay, if she was happier being a rabbit then a rabbit she is."

"But what if she doesn't know what to think anymore! Her whole life is turned upside down how could she ever trust anything her heart tells her?" I wailed with despair.

"I do not have the answers you seek, only the Stars know how to answer these questions. Lightmoon, why do you ask these questions?" Hawksight's voice was warm and I longed to tell him everything but how could I? I'm Half-Clan. Emberspots was right, no cat would trust me if they knew, not even Hawksight.

I drew back and searched Hawksight's blind gaze before pressing my muzzle into the Healer's flank and answering with a soft mew, "Its nothing, just a silly question. I know my heart lies with you." But, though my reply was confident my heart still felt torn in two. Dappleatch and Tinyroar broke the Warrior Laws when they betrayed their clan by having me and Emberspots plans to tell all three clans at the next Meet-Moon. He is going to destroy everything I have ever fought for; he is going to destroy LeopardClan. No, I won't sit by and watch as he destroys my clan. I will stop him, I will do anything it takes to protect the Warrior Laws. Anything.
