"Stormpaw?" Ambertail meowed.
"Yes?" Stormpaw asked.
"Were you even listening?" Ambertail asked.
"Um no," Stormpaw mumbled.
"Why don't you pay attention to me anymore?" Ambertail asked.
"Because almost every time my mind wanders to Maplepaw, I have strange flashbacks of what I think are another cats memories," Stormpaw admitted.
"What do you mean?" Ambertail asked.
"I was thinking about how Maplepaw was talking to and getting rather friendly with a ThunderClan tom. Then, I thought that when Oakheart had done that it hadn't gone well, but I don't know anyone with that name. But I feel like I should know Oakheart," Stormpaw explained.
"Is that the only flashback?" Ambertail asked.
"I often get glimpses of memory," Stormpaw explained.
"Do you want to talk to Maplepaw?" Ambertail asked.
"No! After what she did to me?" Stormpaw yowled.
"What do you mean?" Ambertail asked.
"Dark, foul smelling, glowing trees, sharp claws and teeth!" Stormpaw shrieked.
"What in StarClan are you talking about?" Ambertail wanted to know?"
"She's terrible! She wanted me dead!" Stormpaw couldn't find the words for a better explanation.
"Why don't you talk to Fogpelt?" Ambertail advised.
"She won't understand! Maplepaw is a killer!" Stormpaw cried.
"She can help you figure out what your memories mean and give you something to calm you down," Ambertail reasoned.
"I don't need calming down! I need to take action against Monsterpaw!"
"Don't call your sister that!" Ambertail ordered, not looking eager to anger Stormpaw.
"When she goes on a killing rampage, don't say I didn't warn you!" Stormpaw growled.
"Think positively. What do you like about your sister?" Ambertail asked calmly.
Stormpaw had to think about it, "She's good with kits. She was nice when we were kits."
"See, she's not all bad," Ambertail meowed, her eyes shining.
"You don't get it! She tried to kill me!" Stormpaw screeched.
"When?"
"I don't know!"
"How can that be?"
"Because it's a memory!"
"I'm going to give you two choices. You can either talk to Maplepaw or To Fogpelt about this."
"Maplepaw will think I'm an idiot! Fogpelt will think I've lost my mind!"
"Choose."
Stormpaw sank his claws into the ground. Fogpelt was a good medicine cat who could interpret many omens and dreams, however, she would also think that Stormpaw had gone mad and may want to keep him in the Medicine den for a few moons. Stormpaw realized that talking to Maplepaw was his best option. If she killed him, at least he'd go to StarClan.
"I'll talk to Maplepaw," Stormpaw meowed without enthusiasm.
Maplepaw and Silverfur were fishing.
"Stormpaw and Maplepaw need to have a private talk as soon as possible," Ambertail meowed.
"Why?" Silverfur asked.
"I told Stormpaw I'd keep it private," Ambertail replied.
"Fine. They can find somewhere to talk," Silverfur meowed.
The apprentices sat next to each other in a tree, thinking it would be harder to be overheard from there.
"What do you want to talk about?" Maplepaw asked eagerly.
"Flashbacks I've been having," Stormpaw said.
"Flashbacks?" Maplepaw asked, her gaze sharp and somehow more full of knowledge than an elder's.
Stormpaw told Maplepaw about the strange flashbacks, including the one about Oakheart.
"You dare accuse me of falling in love with a tom from another clan? After that disaster with Appledusk, I know how forbidden relationships turn out! I have enough on my mind without having to solve your problems!" Maplepaw snarled, and shoved Stormpaw from the tree.
Pain exploded in Stormpaw's face. It was agonizing, worse than anything Stormpaw had ever felt, yet it was somehow familiar.
"Stormpaw!" came Maplepaw's horrified cry, "I'm sorry! What have I done?" a tongue licked Stormpaw's flank. It was Maplepaw making more excuses.
Stormpaw knew he would never forgive his sister for this, even if it cost him his life.
