by Snowfall16

This is a short story focusing on Brightpaw's thoughts as she struggles to decide whether to choose Swi or Cloudpaw to be her future mate. Warning: This is not written like a normal story. It is told from Brightpaw's point of view from her thoughts and, sometimes, the words she speaks.

3. Chapter 3

I have to tell Cinderpelt about the sign. I know I'm in the medicine den, but where is she? If I turn my head just so - why do I have to turn my head to hear?

Oh, right. Now I understand. And that would explain why my vision's half dark, as well. My face must look like a monster. I suppose Cloudtail won't want me now, either. Is this your message, StarClan? Is this what you're telling me? That I'll have to move to the elders' den, never be a warrior, never have a mate or kits, never have an apprentice? No more border patrols, no more hunting patrols. Some life.

Wait, I think I hear Cinderpelt. She's talking to another cat - Fireheart, I think. I have to tell her about the sign!

Pack, pack! Kill, kill!
