Snowsilver pads out of the warriors den. He blinks in the dawn light.
He sees two cats bickering in the corner of camp. Its one of Firestar's daughters, Squirrelpaw, and Brambleclaw. He rolls his eyes, the pair was always bickering. Squirrelpaw is stubborn and hates rules, Brambleclaw is often stuck with her, although not her mentor.
Snowsilver turns away from them and pads to the fresh kill pile. He grabs a shrew from the bottom.
He pads out of the camp to his mothers burial place to eat the shrew.
"Mom?" He whispers, "Mom I know you're watching me. I'm sorry I have to leave Thunderclan. You were the only real reason I had to come back. I- I just can't stay here."
Snowsilver finishes the shrew and buries the bones by a tree before going back to his mothers grave.
"This might be goodbye," Snowsilver touches his nose to the stone he placed over her grave, "I love you."
He turns and pads back to camp.

"Snowsilver!" Indigopaw bounces out of the apprentice den.
"Hey," Snowsilver rolls his eyes.
"I'm sorry about teasing Gingerpaw," Indigopaw sits beside him, "I know how you feel about him."
Snowsilver nods, "its ok."
It wasn't, but Snowsilver didn't want to leave angry with Indigopaw. He had been a good friend, other than teasing Gingerpaw.
"So," Indigopaw nudges Snowsilvers shoulder, "you and Goldensparrow."
Snowsilver shakes his head and looks at his paws, "no."
They chat for a little while before Indigopaw leaves for border patrol.

Snowsilver sits in the middle of the clearing, watching other warriors return from patrols or leave on them. He watches Gingerpaw play with a leaf, catching it in his paws.
"Snowsilver," Goldensparrow mews from behind him, her voice shakes.
Snowsilver turns to the golden she-cat, "yes?"
"I'm so sorry," Goldensparrow cries, glancing at her belly, then to her paws before looking back to Snowsilver.
"For what?" Snowsilver tilts his head, stepping towards the she-cat, his voice full of sympathy.
Goldensparrow looks to her paws, her lips quiver, "remember Bluedream?" She looks back to Snowsilver.
"Yes," Snowsilver growls, flicking his soft white tail in anger, "terrible cat," he thinks about Indigopaw and his siblings, "and a terrible father."
"He uh- I was on patrol with him and- Snowsilver in sorry- I'm so sorry" Goldensparrow closes her eyes tightly, and tears stream down her face, "I'm expecting his kits."
Snowsilvers heart shatters and he takes three step backwards, "y- you-" he shakes his head slowly.
"I didn't want to!" Goldensparrow cries, "he-"
"I- I need to go," Snowsilver stutters.
He runs out the camp entrance.
I just need to blow off steam for now. It'll be fine, It'll be fine. I'll be fine. She's- she didn't do it on purpose- right? He- well- Snowsilver whimpers as he races through the forest.
He stops by his mothers grave and sits beside it.
"What am I supposed to do?" He cries.

He returns when the sun begins to set. He glances into the camp before stepping all the way in. Goldensparrow isn't there, he can't see her.
Good, he looks to his paws as he pads to the edge of the clearing. Although it was a day before he planned to leave, he knew he must leave that night. He couldn't stay any longer.
Goldensparrow steps out of the medicine den, "Snowsi-"
Snowsilver shakes his head, "I'm going to sleep."
He stalks off to the warrior den.
