A old black and white tom stared at the shadowy forest around him with fear and regret in his once hopeful and happy light green eyes. Which were now saddened and filled with fear.
    Dark shadowy cats whose pelts nor eyes held any detail of who they are or were ran by him while whispering almost silent taunts making the tom want to attack one of them, but he restrained himself from doing so. All he could hear was:
   "Oh look it's the former rouge,","You couldn't even save  your own leader; pathetic," and    "This wouldn't have happened if you had just got chosen to stay deputy.".
     The taunting voices he heard finally made him try to leap and attack one of them, but when he tried he realized that he couldn't move from where he was standing. One cat emerged from the shadows, his gray tabby pelt messy dried blood on his claws.
"You know as well as I do those things are true Blackpelt," the cat said with a sly grin on his face.
   Blackpelt growled at him,"I am a loyal warrior of ThunderClan, and always will be Jayclaw." he hissed at him.
   "Says the cat who let an innocent little apprentice grow up to kill your leader," he sneered with the grin still on his face.
   That comment made Blackpelt freeze up. He knew he was one of the reasons why his former leader Orangestar wasn't alive and well today.
    Jayclaw looked at Blackpelt; satisfaction in his gaze."I believe my work here is done,"He  paused and slowly padded closer to Blackpelt."See you again soon Blackpelt." He hissed to Blackpelt before walking away; leaving Blackpelt alone in shadowy forest around him, shadowy cats long gone.

    A gray and white tom cat looked around and saw a cat with a black and white pelt which he recognized very well, his green eyes filled with confusion. The cat was standing between the border that separates the Dark Forest from StarClan; looking from one side to the other.
"Applestrike?" The gray tom questioned loudly slightly hoping Applestrike would answer back, but he didn't.
    "He can't hear you Graytail," A soft voice behind Graytail told him. He looked back, there was a cat that he had only seen once before who was looking past Graytail at Applestrike; it was a white she-cat with black splotches on her fur, with a pelt with faint stars on them, who smelled strongly of ThunderClan.
     "He is stuck between the border of StarClan and the Dark Forest," she continued not giving Graytail time to say even a word."His heart guides him to StarClan, he wishes to meet a certain cat when they join the ranks of StarClan themselves," She continued as her kind green eyes darkened."but his claws guide him to the place of no stars, where he was trained, and his mind corrupted." The she-cat had finally finished speaking.
"Who does he want to meet?" Graytail asked still very confused about the whole situation.
"That, I cannot tell you Graytail," she looked away from Applestrike to Graytail."that's would be going against the wishes of my fellow StarClan cats, even Orangestar's." the mention that name made Graytail freeze for a moment, that was the name of his father and former ThunderClan leader, whom his adopted brother Applestrike had murdered in cold blood.
Graytail could feel himself fading away, he was waking up! He looked back at Applestrike, who still couldn't see him, and then he turned back to the she-cat, who was now walking away slowly.
    The she-cat looked back at Graytail, sadness in her eyes."Tell Blackpelt 'I'm sorry.'." The she-cat sadly said, loud enough for Graytail to hear before he faded away returning to his nest in the ThunderClan medicine den.
