I hadn't realized it, but I had a splinter wedged in my paw. The healer, Salmon, mixed herbs, berry juices, and water. She gently pulled out the splinter. I yelped a little. She dipped her paw in the mixture, and rubbed it on my paw. It started to feel a bit better. Salmon nodded to me, and I got up and left. For once, my paw felt numb on the rocky ground. It felt good, though. Cloud looked at me. He cocked his head, but said no words. Wolf and Ella, my dad and mom, just stared at me, eyes wide. I walked out of the Cold Claws territory, the territory of my pack. I passed by the Thunder Tree. I saw a squirrel in the tree, eating acorns. I thought about killing it for a moment, but I decided not to. "That's not who you are!" I scoffed to myself.
