leafpool sighed staring down on the clans from a near by hill top. ' is my clan even alive anymore? squirrelflight? firestar? sorreltail?' she thought gazing at the stars that blazed above ' are you up there to...cinderpelt?' a loud call shattered her dream and she woke to see a small tabby kit prodding her side. "elder leafpool! please tell us of how you left the clans!" she squeaked beside leafpool a dark grey tom stirred "again?" he asked as he and leafpool shared a glance of amusement. although he had growen old his blue eyes still glinted with life and stubbornness.  "please!" a ginger kit pleaded his green gaze boring into her making her quickly glace away. "well i guess your father and mother are busy with holly and jay is out collecting herbs..." crowfeather rumbled thoughtfully and the two kits brother and sister tood on there claws wide eyed waiting for his answer. "fine." he meowed at last, "but i told it last time let leafpool have go." he meowed and with a huff leafpool sat up and stretched her cramped limbs "alright, it all starts the morning after midnight the badger had came..."

     "leafpool do you think we should hunt?" crowfeather asked "er...sure" she replied hearing her stomach grumble. although they had already traveled far from the clans she still though she could fell starclan trotting beside her and images of there clans lashed into her mind with spottedleafs sweet voice ringing in her ears "your clan is fine, crowfeathers too" she whispered and leafpool felt her heart stomach lurch as she saw cinderpelt laying limp among scootfur and a few others. "they have no medican cat!" she whispered trying to keep the wail out of her voice. "brightheart has stepped in and mothwing has came to mentor a kit..cinderkit your clan will be fine...follow your heart..follow crowfeather." spottedleaf meowed before vanishing her sweet scent hanging in the air for a moment longer. 'cinderkit?' leafpool thought rembering the small grey shape and the grey she-kits round blue eyes. 'could it be..?' before she could think anymore crowfeather came crashing out some bushes brambles tugging his fur and moss clung to him "i will never get used to the forest!" he snorted pulling some of the debris out. "i caught a hare," he paused slightly embarrassed "i couldn't get it through this bush..." he whispered flicking a ear . feeling laughter palse through her she could't stop a mrrw of laughter from slipping out. "hay!" he hissed playfully before leaping at her and they rolled on the soft grass. 'when was the last time i was so care free?' she thought only memory coming was her and squirrelflight playing as kits and sandstorm lightly scolding them as they tripped dustpelt. crowfeathers mew snapped her back to the present "so are you going to get it? or just stand there homing it comes back to life just to hop over to you?" he asked flicking his tail. "oh,yes" she meowed shaking her head 'i'm leafpool a loner and i have my mate crowfeather. that's all i need...'
