Fallenpaw stomped into her nest. She sat down and muttered words. "How can they just not accept a thank you!". "Ugh, I hate being an apprentice." She growled and unsheathed her claws. she scratched her shoulder.

Blood seeped down from the wound. She looked down, Her eyes filled with tears. "How long has mother, had diabetes?" she whispered.

Ashpaw came in, He stared in disbelief. As Fallenpaw took her paw and scratched her leg. Letting blood escape. Ashpaw ran and grabbed Swiftpaw. "What!" she cried.

"It's Fallenpaw! She's cutting herself!" he snapped.

The two ran in.

"Fallenpaw...?" whispered Swiftpaw.

Fallenpaw looked up, Her eyes were daggers of pain and anger. She had blood on her right front leg. Her ears were flattened back in anger.

"What do you want?" she hissed.

"Why are you hurting yourself? You shouldn't do that... Just stop please." mewed Ashpaw. Creeping up to her.

"LEAVE ME ALONE!" she yowled. All of a sudden the den blasted with a large force of anger. Ashpaw and Swiftpaw were thrown off balance by the blast. Fallenpaw turned and ran, She disappeared through the thick ferns.

Swiftpaw coughed. Ashpaw got up, He nudged Swiftpaw up. "I can't go on." she wheezed. 

Ashpaw lead her to her nest. Then he dashed off, Through the ferns. 

He ran through the trail, Then he stopped when he saw the gray she-cat standing at the edge of the cliff. Her eyes faced the sun as it drowned.

"Fallenpaw! NO!" yowled Ashpaw. He ran and grasped her tail as she let herself fall freely.

"Let me go! I was never meant to be born!" screeched Fallenpaw. 

"That means you take back the day you were born!" he muffled out. 

Fallenpaw kicked with her back legs and she landed squarely at the cliff. Ashpaw tumbled over and let out an oof.

Fallenpaw turned. Her eyes streamed with tears. "No, I don't," she whispered. Then she ran and fell through the cliff.

"FALLENPAW!" screeched Ashpaw as he struggled up. He scrambled to the ledge as he saw the last specks of gray disappear through the clouds.

"No... she-she couldn't!" whispered Ashpaw.

His gaze darkened. "I failed her." he turned and left. His mind drowned with sorrow.

He walked down the trail. Tears streamed down his eyes. He tumbled down and sat in his nest, He curled up and rested his head.

Swiftpaw scrambled up weakly. "Ashpaw?" she whispered.

He sniffed. "She threw herself off the cliff."

Swiftpaw wailed. "Nooo!" she cried. Tears spilled through their eyes.
