Faithpaw's scream could be heard from the camp.  she realized Finjaw was still alive.  Faithpaw, still cold, swam out into the icy water.  The moon slightly shimmered down on the forming ice.  Faithpaw was aware of a cat heading her way.  After awhile of struggling, she finally got Finpaw onto the warmer ground.  A cat called to her with a muffled mew.

"Faithpaw?  Are you ok," the cat shouted to her.  Faithpaw recognized the voice of Lonerstar.  She shivered.  Faithpaw felt as if she could sink in the mud.  Once Lonerstar saw her, his eyes went wide.

"Are you mouse brain?  Swimming in this weather?  Tha- oh... I see", Lonerstar went quiet.  His eyes flickered to Finjaw.  "Let me help you", he murmured.  Faithpaw numbly accepted, but she could feel icy thoughts radiating from him.  Weird. She thought, frowning.  Lonerstar picked up Finjaw and started to walk to camp.  The cold water on her fur made the trip extra hard.  Faithpaw could feel ice forming on her whiskers.  They grew more heavy until she shook them off her small head.  Faithpaw started to hurry, shivering.

"Go to camp, ill take Finjaw" , lonerstar commanded, flicking his white tail.

 "O-ok", Faithpaw replied, then dashed to tue camp, scattering dead leaves into the air.  Faithpaw stopped for a minute of rest, then sneezed.  After finaly making it to the camp, she ran to her nest, and snuggled in it.  She still felt a cold under her fur.  not a cold phisical feeling, but a feeling that something bad was going to happen.  A yowl filled the camp, then the sound of gasping.  Standing, she stood up, sneezed agin, then looked out the den.

Oh no!  Oh no!  Faithpaw thought with despair.  The sight was gruesome.  Blood on the body,  barely recognizable.  But the frost in the eyes gave way of who it was.

Finjaw.

Lonerstar set down the limp body, the same coldness in his eyes as earlier.

"We met a fox, she was to weak, we lost a bad warrior, one that thunderclan dosent n-" a cat snarled.

 "It isnt your clan, Lonerstar!  It isnt your right to control it!  You cant change the warrior code!  You have Rougeclan!  Go away, you were always a foxheart!  Calling me a cheater on every game when you didnt win!  I never cheated!  It was you who cheated, Frostbitetooth", Faithpaw reconized the voice as firestar.  Lonerstar loomed over him, barely bigger.

" oh yeah?  Says who?  Oh remember our alliance, cant turn back now, firebringer," Lonerstar said part coldly and part triumphantly.

 "Well, being allianced dosent mean you control my whole clan, Loner.  I control my clan, and my clan is loyal to me", Firebringer snarled, his green eyes flashing in sheer rage.

" oh yeah"?  With that, Lonerstar leapt onto firestar, his claws unsheathed.  Faithpaw, though freezing, yowled.

 "Stop it!  You will just get yourself hurt," Lonerstar turned to her.

 "Oh yeah, she cat?  As if you can say anything.  The she cats should be left to die!  They are the ones who abuse and abandon their kits!  The toms take care of the kits forever!  No matter what!  We lead!  We take care of the she cats!  We hunt!  We patrol!  What do you mearly do?  you just give birth!  I bet it isnt hard!  I bet-" he was cut off by Sandblaze, his sister.

 "Frostbitetooth, giving birth is worse that almost dying!  It hurts more that the sharpest fox bite!  You are completely mouse brain to think its easy", Sandblaze snarled, shocking Faithpaw with her rage.  She had never seen sandblaze like this.  Or even angry.  In fact, she hadnt really seen anyone in Thunderclan angry, other than Finjaw and Firestar.  for a bit, Faithpaw hadnt heard what else Sandblaze had said, but snapped out of her thoughts.

" -star saved you when we were apprentices!  You just leave that in the past?  I think you need to go, Loner ", sandblaze said coldly.  Faithpaw realised she was holding her breath.

"The past is the past, sandblaze.  I dont consider any of you my litter mates.  But this must end, because the gathering is tonight", Lonerstar said calmly, as if nothing had happened.

" i will bring Sandblaze, Faithpaw, Flameheart, dovefur, mapletree, Deathgiver, alex, I mean alexhope, and Littlefield", they headed out, the cold breeze softly whispering to her as it touched her whisper.

 "Comeeeeee," it said, venomous sounds in its soft voice.

 "We have waited for youuuuu,"it said again.

"Play to winnn," it said once agin.  Then, many diffrent voices joined in.  A softer voice seemed to drive them away.

 "Faithpaw, go to sleep right after the gathering. Starclan needs to talk to you," and with that, all the voices went away.  Weird, she thought, frowning.  Before she knew it, she was already crossing the tree bridge.

 Murmuring from the gathering stopped when they got there, then it started.

 "I will go first,"leafstar said.

" we have had two she cats die from the toms, we still strive though, and we wont let go of this rule, other that that, all is well, and prey is fine, firestar, you go next ", she finished.

"We have have two death, one thanks to shadowclan.  Moonlight has been killed"!  The shadowclan leader growled.

"She sure deserved it.  Before we killed her, she said this: 'I dont care about Faithpaw.  Dont tell her this.  But if she continues being a mesicine cat, kill her.  Or kill Finjaw.  But im sure Lonerstar would do that for you, just tell my mate i always loved him, but hated kits' then one of my warriors killed her.  who was the other killed"?

Before Firestar could answer, Faithpaw wailed, running to the tree bridge.  she could here people mewing in question before Firestar quietly said:

"Shes Faithpaw, sweet girl, but... Moonlight was her mom.  Poor girl", faithpaw leapt onto the tree bridge, claws sheathed.  As she ran across, the water lapped hungrily under her.  Faithpaw was almost across until she slipped into the black, cold water.  The waves lapped over her, pushing her under.  Her screeched filled the air, disturbing the quiet island...
