"Mama, why was Midnightpaw apprenticed before us. We are the same age after all." I whined
"It's because she saved Shinningstar from Spasm syndrome. Midnightpaw is a medicine cat with powers." My father, Clawedfeather, meowed sternly as he picked me up by the scruff.
I saw The Great Oak. It towered into the sky. It was all leafy and mossy. Then I remembered the injury I suffered. I could hear Chocolateshadow talking with Cancershade about their unborn kits that nobody knew about. That was 4 she-cats expecting kits. Shinningstar, Cancershade, Fadedheart, and Dancingwater. Greenleaf was a blessing for Cloudclan. Cats were whispering at all around. It hurt my ears. Then I heard a wail.
"Owlpaw is dead. Owlpaw is dead." I heard Hawkstar's cry go up
"Dad, put me down. Right now. I need to tell Cloudchaser something." I growled at my father as he put me down and I sped over to Cloudchaser.
"C-Cloudchaser. Your apprentice, Owlpaw, d-d-died." I whispered in his ear.
"Owlpaws dead? But how? He was healthy when we left," He whispered. "May you rest well in Starclan my friend." He meowed loudly as he hung his head.
I watched a teardrop fall from his eye. He was somehow crying. Warriors never cried, right? I watched him tell all the Darkclan cats. They all pressed their fur together. I trotted over to my parents. The news had spread to them. All of the cats head were hung all sad. I broke all these cats hope hadn't I? Shinningstar had started walking out of the clearing.
This was the being of the journey.
