Greysight shifted in her sleep at the sound of a slight ringing in her ears. She shook her head, trying to get rid of the noise and opened her eyes.

Her starry surroundings surprised her greatly, as did the ability to see again. Greysight stood up in confusion and looked around the faint forest as it sparkled in the night. Ever since the battle, Greysight hadn't had any more dreams or nightmares.

She thought they had finally gone away.

'Why am I here?' She wondered as she stepped forward into the trees. It was the exact same as DarkClan territory, the only difference being the faint opacity of the trees, and the stars that sparkled in the mist.

Behind her, a twig snapped and she turned mid-step; Greysight's eyes widened when she recognized Mosspelt's young, starry form.

"Mosspelt..." Greysight whispered.

The medicine cat dipped her head in greeting.

"Hello, Greysight."

"Why have you called me here?"

"Greysight, I sense a dark presence looming over you. You must be extremely careful of those you decide to trust."

Greysight looked at the she-cat in confusion.

"What do you mean?"

"Just listen to me, Greysight," Mosspelt continued, bypassing the question.

"If you don't, you may lose someone very close to you."

Greysight was silent, but Mosspelt closed her eyes and began to fade away.

"Wait!"

Mosspelt paused and opened her eyes, acknowledging the fiery black she-cat.

"Before, you said Willowstar was never accepted by StarClan. Then, does that mean he never got his nine lives?"

Mosspelt stared at Greysight in silence, and Greysight could tell she wasn't going to answer.

"Please tell me," she meowed desperately.

Mosspelt shook her head and faded into the forest, her voice echoing around the space.

"I cannot."

The next morning, Greysight woke up feeling more confused than ever. Why was Mosspelt coming to her about these things? How was she even supposed to do anything about it when the she-cat never gave her a straight answer?

Greysight groaned in frustration and rolled over but got up when she remembered that she and Lostheart had planned to train some more today.

She noticed the other nests were already empty, so either no one had bothered to wake her up or they were trying to be nice and let her sleep in. Whichever one it truly was wasn't important and Greysight chose to accept the latter.

She stepped out of the warriors den and into the clearing. The air was moist and breezy. Greysight knew that soon it would be leafbare; they needed to stock up on as much prey as possible.

She walked over to the fresh kill pile and plucked up a squirrel for herself; absentmindedly, she scanned the clearing, but found no sign of Lostheart.

'She must have left already.'

Greysight did, however, notice Roseclaw as the medicine cat waltzed up to her and flopped down at her side.

"Looks like I can finally take a break," she meowed.

"Where's Mintpaw?"

"I sent her to find some catmint, she left earlier while you were asleep." Roseclaw's blue eyes suddenly became serious. "We barely have any left and it's a hard herb to find, which is really bad considering it's almost leafbare. Longtail and Browneyes already are starting to develop coughs and I'm sure Darkpelt has as well, he's just trying to hide it."

Roseclaw noticed the worried look that suddenly stretched across her friend's face and she gently nudged her shoulder. "Don't worry about it. It's nothing big, they're just small coughs. We just need to make sure they don't escalate into something bigger is all."

Greysight nodded mutedly, but Roseclaw could tell she was still feeling nervous about it. Roseclaw shifted uncomfortably and made an attempt to change the subject.

"So, where are you off to today?"

This seemed to break Greysight out of her mood and turn her attention back to Roseclaw. "I asked Lostheart to train with me, I'm gonna meet her after I finish this squirrel," she meowed before taking another bite.

Roseclaw nodded and a silence overtook the two cats as Greysight finished her meal.

"Does Lostheart ever get mad?"

Roseclaw blinked at the unexpected question, surprise written all over her face. Roseclaw paused for a moment, thinking it over, then the white she-cat shrugged, causing her fluffy white fur to bounce slightly.

"Not really. It would probably take a lot to get her mad. Why? You're not planning on doing something are you?"

Roseclaw was now eyeing Greysight suspiciously. "Because I can tell you that isn't a good idea."

"No! I was just curious. She's always so calm, I was just wondering."

She stood up and quickly buried the remains of her meal before heading out of camp. She paused when she felt Roseclaw running back towards her and turned toward the she-cat questioningly.

"Can I come and watch? I've got nothing better to do."

Greysight shrugged.

"Sure."

A smirk soon grew across her face. "Maybe you can train too. Even medicine cats need to be able to defend themselves."

Roseclaw laughed nervously, but she soon realized Greysight wasn't joking and slumped her shoulders in defeat.

"Fine."

Greysight grinned and led Roseclaw out of camp, mind set on getting to the training hollow.

Lostheart had taken her free time in the morning to go on a quick hunt. She had managed to catch a small sparrow and two mice in the fields. After burying her kill, she went to the training hollow to wait for Greysight.

She didn't mind training with her. Even though they were warriors now, it was still a good idea to keep themselves sharp.

Lostheart chose to sit by the large log at the edge of the clearing, using it as something to lean on. The claw marks from warriors past were still visible in its trunk.

She remembered when Ivyfoot had made her train with the log as well, but the thought left her mind as quickly as she had thought of it, intent on not dwelling in the past.

Her ear twitched at the sound of approaching pawsteps and she rose to her paws as Greysight and Roseclaw strolled into the clearing.

She was a little surprised by Roseclaw's presence, but figured she had come along to train as well.

"I hope you don't mind if I brought Roseclaw. I thought we could-"

"I know. It's fine."

Lostheart watched as Greysight's mouth closed and she shrugged. Lostheart's eyes flickered between the two she-cats.

"You two can go first," she meowed and padded to the side of the clearing where she could watch at a safe distance.

Roseclaw groaned audibly.

"Come on, you can do it," Greysight prompted and pushed Roseclaw to the center of the training hollow.

"We'll do a few moves and practice exercises first, don't worry about it," she continued.

"Fine, but if you hurt me Greysight, I swear, I'm gonna get you back," Roseclaw replied

Greysight rolled her sightless eyes. "Yeah, yeah. Let's get started already!"

"I've kept a close eye on all the borders, and I can now confirm there has been no foul play made by TreeClan. Or anyone else for that matter. I'll continue keeping the patrols constant, we won't let them take us by surprise."

Sunstar's hard green eyes shifted to where Darkpelt stood before him, giving a report.

"Very well. Now get out, I need peace."

Darkpelt stood firm and gave a slight nod before backing out of the leader's den.

"Of course."

Once outside, Darkpelt stalked away from Sunstar's den angrily. It was like Sunstar didn't even care about all the work he was doing.

Darkpelt sat down in frustration; it wouldn't be like this if his father was still leader. He lowered his gaze and flexed his claws. Shadestar had sacrificed everything for DarkClan and Sunstar didn't even care.

"No matter how much you glare at it, you're never going to scare the dirt."

Darkpelt looked up to see his brother standing in front of him. The white tom grumbled and stood up.

"Where are the she-cats?" Darkpelt demanded.

Browneyes shrugged. "They went out earlier, don't know what for."

Darkpelt scoffed. Of course they would leave the minute they were needed for actual work. Browneyes noticed his brother's dark gaze and sighed.

"They're not so bad Darkpelt."

Darkpelt didn't reply to his brother and instead chose to go back to the warriors den, Browneyes watching him sadly from behind.

Roseclaw flopped onto the ground breathing heavily.

"That's it, I'm done!" she huffed.

Greysight stood in front of her, rolling her eyes at the dramatic she-cat while Lostheart remained watching quietly by the side.

"That was good," Greysight meowed encouragingly. "Not as good as me, but still."

Roseclaw rolled over.

"Oh, shut up."

It was true though, Roseclaw had done very well. They had practiced how to dodge, and where attacks are to be aimed, as well as transferring power into an attack. The medicine cat was able to pull off the basics after a few tries.

With great difficulty, Roseclaw pulled herself back up and slumped over to where Lostheart sat beside the log.

"Your turn now," she breathed.

Greysight smirked. "You know-"

Just then, a horrified scream rang out through the forest causing both Greysight and Roseclaw to jump. The screams continued and Greysight's eyes widened as she recognized the voice.

'Mintpaw!'
