Reedpaw was almost done treating a wounded Darkshadow. "You only had some scratches." He told the green eyed tom.
"Thanks Reedpaw." He mewed to the medicine cat apprentice.
"What?! What do you mean you can't save our mother?!" Hissed and outraged Redflame.
"Her bite to the back of her neck was too deadly.." Thrushberry whimpered sadly, flattening her ears.
"Well try something!" The russet colored tom demanded.
"You should be grateful she's doing anything for our mother at all!" Stunclaw hissed as she ran from her brother and out of the den upset. She had nearly bumped into Branchspots. "I'm sorry.." She mewed.
"It's fine." The yellow eyed tom mewed sympathetically to her. The two cats walked to the warrior's den in camp. "You should come and rest inside the den, and I'll be back with a fresh mouse for you." He mewed kindly.
"You don't have to do that." She mewed to him.
But he was already by the fresh kill pile with a mouse in his jaws.
He came back with it. "Here you go. One tasty mouse for you."
She purred lovingly. "Thank you Branchspots." As the two then began to share it.

Redflame sat by himself. He sighed as he then heard pawsteps from behind and quickly got in a battle stance and saw that it was Brindlefrost. "It's only me." She mewed.
"Oh hi Brindlefrost." The tom mewed.
The she-cat sat close beside him. She leaned close about to lick his cheek until he turned to her. "What are you about to do?"
"Oh nothing..." She muttered shyly and yet almost bitterly in response.

Reedpaw was just finished sorting the herbs. "There all done." He muttered feeling accomplished.
He looked around camp and suddenly saw something odd. A starry looking path almost. No, a trail.
Leading out of camp. And to somewhere. He padded out. It lead to a pair of small shapes looking like amber eyes. He hesitantly padded towards it, but stooped himself feeling almost if it was a disturbance.
"Join me.." He whispered.
"No.. Never. I'll never be like you." The tan and white tom mewed.
"Join me.." The tom mewed as he began to repeat the phrase.
"Never! You're evil!" He spat.
Then as of out of nowhere, small whispers began to mew:"You must follow the trails.."
"Reedpaw! Reedpaw!" A voice ran in his ears almost as if it were roaring rain water.
He jolted to find himself in his nest in the medicine cat's den. Realization struck making him notice he was sleeping and that it was Willowpelt who woke him up. "You kept muttering 'you're evil' what were you talking about?" She asked.
"I-I think it was a message..." The amber eyed apprentice mewed in almost shock at the facet that he had received his first message from StarClan themselves, but what trails would he have to follow? What did it even mean?
