((Ashfur represents Faithkit about loner, squirrelflight represents loner))

  Faithkit knocked the moss ball back to the kit,her mew filled with amusment as Talon leapt into the air, hitting the moss ball straight into her nose.  It had been a moon after they came back, and Faithkit felt at home again.  Other than that, things wernt so good.  People didnt like her or Talon, calling them traitors, and Finpaw - or Finjaw- Finpaws warrior name, was still on apprentice duty.

 "All cats old enoigh to catch their own preu, cometo high ledge for a clan meeting", Firestar called down. Then Faithkit relized why.   "We have two things too do today.  First, talon, come up. " Talon stepped up.  "Talon, your new name will be Falconkit".  

" Falconkit, Falconkit", some said with envy while others said it coldly.  Then firestar went on.

 "Faithkit, step up".  She did.  "Faithkit do you pro-". then Faithkit yowled.  People gasped in surprise, and Faithkit knew just what to do.

" I want to be a medicone cat, not a warrior", she yowled over the breath-taking noise.  Everyone gasped, their eyes sparkling with suspition.  Then She saw moonlights eyes.  They were filled with hatred and regret. She

   Faithkit looked at her cream paws, stopping herself from running away.  She just looked at the leaders eyes, and he nodded slightly in understanding.

 "Then so be it, Flameheart, will you take Faithpaw as your apprentice"?

" I will"

 "Then Faithpaw, your mentor is Flameheart, he will train you well, you shall learn the ways of a medicine cat".

" Faithpaw, Faithpaw ", people cheered the happiness out of their voice gone.  Only Flameheart looked happy.  She walked up to her mother, about to explain.

"Mom I-".

"I dont want to hear it, Faithpaw", her mother shouted at her, dashing out of the forest.  Faithpaw stared helplessly at her, then hung her head.  She had let everyone down.  She had failed.  With all this stress hanging on her like her own shadow, she thought she would fall.  Faithpaw padded to the medicine den, her head still hanging.  When she got in, she felt a need for revenge.  At loner, at Finjaw, at her own mother.  She was crazy.  there was a weird feeling for revenge on... Everyone.  She had failed everyone, including herself.  

" stop hanging your head, tiny toes, be proud you choose to be a medicine cat ", Flameheart said, surprising her.  She just mumbled in reply.

" ya know, your clanmates will be thankful you choose tp be a medicine cat when your healing them  tiny toes", Flameheart said, waving his tail at her.  "Why not be loud and proud?  "Its not bad, you know, your not disobeying anyone, its your life, not theirs", Faithpaw gasped, realising he was true.

" your- your right, i need to take care of myself more, not be oushed around like a mouse".  Flameheart smiled at her before putting his herbs that had yarrow, marigold, and goldenrod in it back into the store.  After a while, Faithpaw helped him and it got done quicker.

  "Hey, Flameheart, iv been having... A dream".

  " What type"?

 "Well, in it, im always by the same area, near moonlight, then, a small spark starts and the word shakes and fire explodes from the sky, she tried to explain.

" Hm, weird,if anything happends more, tell me".

 "I will".

" Thank you".

Faithpaw shuffled uneasily.  She shook her head, turning to the entrance, a figure there.

Falconkit stood at the entrance, eyes full of awe.  Then, she relized that Falconkit was limping.  Faithpaw glanced at Flameheart, then he spoke.

 "Get some dock, its leaves should be green and look wrinkly" , Flameheart commanded.  Faithpaw nodded, then padded over to the herb store.  Spoting the dock, she gently picked it up, carefull not to break it.  She padded back to Flameheart, dropping ot at his feet.  

 "Chew it up, will you"?

" Sure".

 "Thanks".  Flameheart pulled a long thorn out of Falconkit.  She rubbed the ointment onto his Falconkit's paw, the tangy taste was still in Faithpaw's mouth.  Faithpaw yawned, sounding tired.  Flameheart looled at her, surprised, then twitched his long ears.  He didnt say anything, though. All she wanted was sleep.

                                               🐾🐾🐾

" can you go out to get some more doch, there's some growing by the twoleg place", Flameheart mewed.  Faithpaw wearily headed out, not complaining.

Out in the pitch black forest, she could hear rustling beside her.  Faithpaw turned her head to see Finjaw next to her.

 "Hey Finjaw, whatcha doing", she asked, her paws stiff.  Finjaw didnt respond but just kept on walking. "Finjaw why are you following me"?  The thing he did caught her off guard.

" Quiet, medicine cat", Finjaw hissed, slapping her paw with unsheathed caws into her face.  He then leapt onto her pinning her.

 "You got away last time, but this time, theres no escape, you mose brain",  he hissed at Faithpaw, raking a paw across her belly slowly. It took a few minuets to reach all the way down.  Faithpaw threw herself off the ground, her fur rising.

" your a mouse heart, Faithpaw, dont deny it"!  Finjaw chuckled.

 "Ive been... Planning with a friend of yours", Finjaw said coldly.

" Loner?  You've been planning with loner",  she gasped in shock.  Just at that moment,  he leapt at her agin, kicking his front paws into her belly.  He held a paw on Faithpaw's neck, his claws sheathed.  A shape landed into Finjaw.  It was Dovefur.

 "I knew it, i knew it," she screeched, her eyes flashing in hate.

 "I had to get moonlights attention, she my mom, how could i let Faithkit ruin that, shes not the only one born without any litter mates, i was to, but no one pays attention to me, that had to change.  Dirtpaw has to be killed, so our mother will love me, not her",  Finjaw hissed at Dovefur.  My eyes flashed in shock.  Her and Finjaw were related?  How?  By blood?  It made sense.  That was why Finjaw hated her.  They were related.
