^{It was sunrise already, and Cedarpaw blinked his eyes open while the dim light of the new day entered in the den, greeting him. He woke up and yowned on a luxurious stretch. Beside him slept the rest of the apprentices, one of them was Fernpaw. After Sourpaw have disappeared moons ago, he have felt very sad and empty. The agony ha was used to feel as a kit have come back to his heart, and in the cold nights he felt as frozen as a fragment of river in Iceclan. Sighing, he heard his mentor's yowl from the clearing, telling him that he was on dawn patrol with Fernpaw. Softly he padded next to her and poked her sides with such delicacy that could have made any queen's heart melt of cuteness. "Come on Fernpaw, dawn patrol time" he said with friendly tone, trying in vane to cover his pain and distress.

Fernpaw mumbled as she woke up, streching she got up and left the apprentice den. As she came out she heard a mentor's yowl, sighing she heard her name being called. Turning to one of her local apprentiship members, it was Cedarpaw, she snorted and walked to the group. She never liked talking to the other apprentice, since some find her weird and angrey all the time. And she love to be alone, but for the most part, she liked to be around her mentor, he was the only cat to ever get to know the real Fernpaw, everyone just judges her cause of the frown she always has on her face, that she is mean and grumpy.

The patrol started patroling the Rockyclan border. He saw Fernpaw ahead of him sighing or hissing in frustation. "Hey Fernpaw, what's up?" he asked with a false smile, trying to supress his own pains "what are you up to?"

Fernpaw kept her eyes faced forward, " Patroling thats what's up" oh yes, Fernpaw can be really nasty at times. " Look Cedarpaw if you want to get to know me, it takes a long and hard time, if you tell me about yourself more i'll open up more to you, got it?". She never looked at the tom, her ears where moving, listing to the sounds around her, "Now first we need to make sure their is no danger things in our territory, No other clans will take territory or prey due to the desaters that have happen".

Instead of feeling angry, he felt s struggle of amusement. It has been a long time since the last cat have snnaped at him. "Sure, I can talk about myself if you want" he continued walking next to her, his mood improving. "I want to ask you something about the tremors" he dared to venture. "In your opinion, how much do you worry about them? If you want to know mine, my thoughts are that this will be over soon, sooner than we all think, that Oakstar is making such a big fuss over this. Okey, many trees have fallen and cats are gone but...it's not that serious is it? I'm sure those cats are just hiding or scared or trapped, the'll come back, Sourpaw will come back" he told her, fire of determination burning in his eyes

Fernpaw stoped, " You think this is not serious!! You must be a complete mouse-brain! Cedarpaw those cats are dead! some ran off to find better lives, This area will never get better each clan is getting worst and worst!' she growled angrely at the tom. " Oakstar is right to make a big deal about this, the clans must move to a knew location if we are to live! they will never be over! every so often the earth shakes! the ground cracks! and cats fall in and die! is that to be over soon no! and Sourpaw might be dead or they ran off to a better place!". She stood in front of the tom and glared, she looked in straight in the eyes, and her eyes said it all, everything she was saying, was true. " Get it threw your head, things will never go back to being the same unless we move" she growled, turning around she walked with the rest of the patrol and made her way up to the front.

Pain flooded from inside of him. There's no way Sourpaw is dead! he hissed for himself. He run to the top, ignoring the rest of the cat's glances on them as Fernpaw have yowled so hard. "There's no way we can moveand leavelike that! THis is the place we belong to, this trees have seen many of us begin born and die! We can't move! There must be a way! This tremors wont take forever, and we can't abandon all the lost cats like that! What if they are not dead? We should go and look for them!" he almost exploded while he hissed in frustation. A horrible image run through his head. Sourpaw's cold body on a dark cliff created by an earthquake. His heart cried in frustation What if it's true? What if she's dead? I couldn't protect her! Nor my mother, nor my littermates, nor my father... he almost barked in Fernpaw's face. He had tried to be nice, but she had touched inner parts of him that shouldn't have been even seen. His past insanity taking over him. I'm nothing but a monster! I make every cat I love die! "You know nothing!" he spatt at Fernpaw's cold gaze "Of course you don't know anything! If we move to a strange place we'll probably die! The tremors probably extend from far away! There's no way we can flee!" He gasped taking the breath and ready for another mouthful of feelings. He stopped himself seconds before, trying to hold his temper, Ferpaw had no fault. Still, the fact that she had been so cold about Sourpaw was irritating him. "Fine, do whatever you please with your precious mentor, I dont give a dung, but if you think we will leave like that, you're wrong, because I will knock down Oakstar myself if we leave that poor lost cats alone" he meowed then, nothing but a whisper "You don't know, what would you do if Darkcloud dissapeared? I'd fly to Starclan and Silverpelt just for finding Sourpaw" nodding, he trotted his way back to the camp, His heart torn adn his soul insane already

After the patrol was done, the group Cedarpaw left was rushing back into camp. "Help! Fernpaw disapered! she went out to try to hunt for the clan but she has yet to return!" yelled one of the warriors. A earth shake had happned not to long ago, Fernpaw was putting Cedarpaw's words into heart, but he was wrong, if he would think about it, he would notice that the missing cats have been missing far to long to come back. The leaders will have send out 1 cat from each clan to go on a journy to find the knew home before moving all of the clans to their. Fernpaw was right, she is always right, for she was mature for her age, she had always been, she states the truth, she never lies.

He heard the yowl from the warrior, and imediately leaped ready "Let me go Oakstar, I...er...need to go" Oakstar looked at him with cold eyes, the clan leader have never liked Cedarpaw before. Maybe because of his past, or maybe because of his personality, but he didn't like him He will not let me go he thought If Fernpaw is dead it's because of me and my selfish feelings, of course, I'm nothing but a monster at all! old words and insults from his clanmates and father echoed in his ears. "Please Oakstar!" he pleaded. He just nodded, twitching his tail suspiciously. He run straight into the forest, gasping quicker and quicker. Fernpaw's trail was clear, and blood from prey or cat were everywhere after the tremor. Please mother don't make me arrive too late! he shot his eyes for a moment, praying to his ancestors. Then the earth and leaves dissapeared under him. In a few seconds he found himself falling off a slope, a deep and shap one. Eyes wide in pure terror and muted he collided into one of the walls, where sharp stones with dog's teeth forms were born. A wound opened in his face and another stone cut his shoulder. In a desperate try, he tried to claw the rocks, softening the fall, but another one cut his pads. Everything turned white for a moment. When he recovered his sight again, Cedarpaw looked up and saw the blue sky of sunhigh, the scary cliff. His mouth tasted like iron and his ribs were broken. Exhausted, he closed his eyes and rested his head in the sand, making his blood mix with the wet dust. "Help..." he tried to yowl, but only a thin string of his voice came out. Sourpaw, take me with you to Silverpelt please.... But no cat came, he was alone.

Fernpaw was panting hard, she just got out of the whole she was in, ears twiching she heard a faint call for help. Shaking her fur she followed the voice and came to the craft Cedarpaw was in, looking in she saw it had dog like sharp teeth. Looking around she yelled out to the tom " Hey! cedarpaw! you alive!!" not waiting for a respons she started to climb down, using the sharp like dog teeth as a ladder. She hissed when she cut her back hind leg but she didn't stop, reaching the bottom she walked over to the tom. "Hey" she panted, "get up! you can't die on me! i will not let a clan member die when i can save them!" she started to lick his wounds. Looking around she notice that when big holes formed their was always lots and lots of cobweb, running to gather all the cobweb in this whole she rushed back to the tom and started to apply all of the cobweb to his wounds. " come on say something" she ignored her own wound, she would always put her clan mates before her, she was that kinda of cat.

He heard Fenrpaws voice and slowly twitched his ear. "It's...that you Fernpaw?" he made a big effort to turn his head to one side "Thanks Starclan you...you're OK..." he coughed hard, spiting blood. He rested his head in the hard earth again and lay still "I was worried sick about..." he didn't have the enough strengh of keeping his own voice. Cedarpaw coughed again and fought hard for breath.

Fernpaw looked, " Don't talk you need to save your energy" she told him softly. Hearing voices she looked up to see more Pineclan warrior's, thanking Starclan she watched as they each came down to help. "See help is here Cedarpaw your gonna be ok, and you'll become a great warrior along side me," she looked at him. She was showing kindness to him, he was a fellow clan member, who just wanted to get to know her, and she pushed him away. What if he died and it was all her fault, if she wasn't her moody and mean self this wouldn't have happend, 'I can't change who i am just for 1 cat...i have to be myself for others to like me for who i am..' she thought to herself.

He sighed, seeing some of the Pineclan warriors get down the cliff. He did a last effort and pedded out of the
gorge, warrior's pushing him and helping him. "Thanks" he muttered exhausted. For a moment, he saw Sourpaw, the cream colored she-cat looked happy and proud. But when he blinked she was gone. He looked around him and saw all of his clan working together. Maybe it was possible to go away, maybe together they could swim the whole sea.}
