"Ugh!" a black, shadowy tom hissed.
"What's bothering you Brokenstar?" a tortoiseshell she-cat meowed.
"Nothing Leafdapple," Brokenstar mumbled.
"Is it Lionclaw?" Leafdapple meowed in a soothing voice.
"Well, I guess I just miss him," Brokenstar whispered.
"It's okay that you miss our son," Leafdapple padded away.
"What was that about?" a dark brown tom leaped out of the shadowy bush, landing in front of Brokenstar.
"Oh, nothing Hawkflame," Brokenstar sighed,"Lightningstripe is over with Wavepool."
"Okay, thanks!" Hawkflame dashed away.
Brokenstar limped into his den and curled up in his nest. "Oh Lionclaw," Brokenstar sighed, "I hope your wish comes true." He drifted off into sleep.
