   I was woken up abruptly by Gingerstar. "Wake up you're going with Birchpelt, Crowflower, and Redpaw on patrol" 

   "Alright alright" I got up immediately and left with the patrol. We headed straight for the Shadowclan border, we started walking and I looked straight ahead to see a tom lying on his side. 

   I immediately knew that pelt and dashed forward. I stood above his body "Pineneedles?"I said barely above a whisper. 

   I felt a pelt brush up against mine and I saw Crowflowers black fur. "Halfpaw... let's go. We need to tell Gingerstar, we will come back for his body" she said in a soft tone. 

   "No. I can't" I stared at his body and saw how his neck was snapped, and his stomach completely cut open you could see just blood pooling out of him. He must have been killed late last night. 

   I lied down next to his body not saying anything to any of them. 

   I heard their pawsteps fade away in the distance. 

   I just sat there listening to the bird's chirp, and the sound of the leaves falling to the ground. 

   After a while the birds went silent. Everything did. 

   I looked up to see Gingerstar, Pigionear, and Duskclaw. I quickly breathed in his scent and any of the scents around him one last time before walking away. 

   He smelled of shadowclan, the shadowclan scent had a shecats aroma on it. 

   I chose to keep that scent in my memory, in case I would run into them any time soon. 

   Before I knew it, I stood right in front of Spades warehouse. 

   I entered without saying anything to anyone. I didn't care about the looks I got, the snarls, or cats telling me to leave. I ignored them heading straight for Spades crate he always sat on. 

   I entered and snarled for any of the others to leave, most of them left but one had stayed a tom who just stood there looking at me, "Leave" I said. 

   "No..." 

   "Ok then..." I unsheathed my claws, I slashed him right across the face he just backed off in surprise. 

   "Yep. we can finish up our conversation later, right Spades?" 

   Spades just nodded at the tom. "Lotta nerve there attacking Sky like that" 

   "Yeah I am sick of everyone today, first Pineneedles died, and no one even tried to comfort me when he died or even cared. Gingerstar and Pigionear just gave me a look to leave. I looked so fucking pathetic! I am pretty sure I was crying too!" I started pacing around the room we both were in. 

   "Halfpaw calm down, please" 

   "Don't tell me to calm down!" I snapped looking him in the eyes. 

   He thankfully backed off after I snapped. "It's almost highmoon and I believe the clans are having a gathering tonight. I think that would be important, especially since you're my spy" I looked at him then turned and left.

-

   I entered camp and everyone's eyes were on me. "Halfpaw, there you are, let's go" Gingerstar said. 

   I looked at her not saying a word but followed her and the rest of the camp to the meeting island.

   Once we crossed the border, thunderclan had immediately spread out to mingle with others. "I think you could hang out with the other apprentices," Gingerstar said to me.
