Running through the grass as fast as Lightblaze could. One paw in front of the other fast and faster. He had to get to camp. He needed to tell Dewfrost, the only cat who didn't think he was insane. 

"Ow!" Lightblaze exclaimed as he tripped over a rock. He quickly scrambled to his paws only to feel a wave of pain ripple through his paw. "Great StarClan," he muttered realizing he had torn the pad. The tom quickly licked it free of blood and started to run again, well run as best as a cat could on three legs. 

The cream-colored tom burst into camp panting exhausted. Every cat's eyes turned toward him confused. "Whisperstone killed Pebblestar!" Lightblaze exclaimed before finally falling over with exhaustion. 

His clanmates gave each other confused looks. Whisperstone would never do such a thing. Pebblestar and Whisperstone had always been so close. After what seemed like a moon, Thunderpelt approached Lightblaze slowly as if the cream-colored tom had gone insane. "Now Lightblaze, your stories were funny the first few times but now you're acting like an elder telling a tale to a kit," Thunderpelt mewed softly, sympathy clouding his eyes. Lightblaze looked around, his whole clan had sympathetic looks in their gaze, they really had thought Lightblaze had went insane hadn't they? 

"It's true! I saw it myself," Lightblaze cried pleadingly. Why didn't his clanmates get it? They were all in serious danger!

He had to find Dewfrost.

Lightblaze quickly scrambled to his paws and ran towards the Warriors den hoping he would find her there. He spotted the she-cat in the back of the den sleeping in her nest, the nest next to his. The creamy pelted tom stalked up to her and prompted her with the paw that wasn't wounded. "Dewfrost, wake up," he whispered.

Dewfrost's eyes blinked open slowly and her eyes narrowed. "Lightblaze?" she questioned.

"Yes it's me, I need to tell you something, but it can't be here," he whispered back trying to push Dewfrost to her paws. 

"What's the rush?" she asked obviously still tired.

"It's about Whisperstone or should I say Whisperstar."

Dewfrost's eyes widened a bit. "Alright, I know a spot in the forest we can go to," she whispered in his ear before walking off, Lightblaze trailing behind her. 

~~~

Dewfrost had taken Lightblaze to a small cave that she had found while hunting one day and Lightblaze explained everything that he saw. He had even told her how his clan thought he was crazy.

"Wow," Dewfrost whispered not really knowing what else to say. "That's just-," she cut off, she hadn't ever heard of a cat ever doing something like that. Some cat killing their own clan leader? Not only killing, but torturing? 

Lightblaze looked at the ground making Dewfrost a bit confused. "That wasn't the only reason I asked you out here," he confessed licking his chest embarrassed. "I wanted to ask you something," he mewed setting his warm hazel-eyed gaze onto Dewfrost with a small smile.
