"Your daughter?!" cried Darkstar, dropping Dawnpaw onto her belly.

Dawnpaw rolled over.

"She is mine and Crowthistle's!" declared Sunbird. "I was expecting Crowthistle's kit when you killed him! A loyal Clanmate! My mate! The father of my kit!"

Darkstar put his paw on Dawnpaw's stomach.

"Why did you do this," Darkstar snarled. "You knew you had to have permission to be his mate!"

"I did it because you wouldn't allow it!" Sunbird replied, her voice wavering. "I loved Crowthistle and still do! Because you killed him, you robbed me of the one chance I had to raise a happy family."

Darkstar glared at his daughter.

"Love is a fragile thing, yet stronger than an oak," Sunbird went on. "When a heart is broken, it can be hard to heal."

The fighting around the three cats ceased and everyone was looking at them.

"I still don't regret what I did," growled Darkstar.

He picked up Dawnpaw and carried her to ShadowClan.

"If you want Dawnpaw back, come and get her," Darkstar meowed gruffly.

This is the end, Dawnpaw thought. I'll never see Sunbird or the others again. Then, with a sickening feeling in her chest, she thought, I'll never see Sootpaw again!
