Shatteredpaw sat at the edge of the clearing, watching...her hollow blue eyes observing everything. She took in everything...the warriors, the apprentices, the queens, the elders...she saw all. She sighed and closed her eyes. She pictured that gray battle-scared face. He was yelling at her...a ghost of a memory that would never go away. He haunted her every breath...made her feel like she didn't want to be alive. She opened her eyes and looked at the clearing, trying to forget...but that was like stopping the seasons...it just couldn't be done. It began to rain, adding to her sorrow. She tried to remember a time when she had been happy...the last time she had laughed. She choked...since Crimson had she laughed...she didn't think so. "Oh Crimson..." she muttered looking at the stars. "Are you up there?"

Sagepelt walked into the EagleClan same through a hole in a thorn bush he had made as a new apprentice. "Hello, Shatteredpaw." He smiled, dropping his mouse and young rabbit into the fresh-kill pile. "How's prey running?"

Shatteredpaw turned toward him, slowly blinking her hollow eyes. She did not respond. Most cats tried to ignore her...pretend that she wasn't here. Maybe things would be better that way...if she just disappeared. There wasn't much left of her to vanish. She continued to blink at the tom. Nobody had talked to her in a long time...not since her first sucidie attempt while in the clans.

"Ok then..." He said, licking one paw. ""Would you like to go hunting with me?" He asked with a small smile. The sun shone warmly on his creamy light brown coat when he realized one paw was right next to a puddle. so thats whats shining in my eyes.

Shatteredpaw looked at him and nodded. "If you want me too..." she said her voice raspy from lack of use. "Most cats wouldn't be caught dead with me." Her dull eyes found the puddle. She saw her reflection. Her fur was messy and matted and her eyes where almost empty. A long time ago she would have been frightened by her appearance, but now she didn't care.

"I would be glad to be caught dead with you." Sagepelt smiled at the apprentice and flicked his tail towards the sun. "It's still pretty early. We might be able to catch the best prey still." Sagepelt said, looking over his shoulder. "Come on. where do you want to go?"

Shatteredpaw shrugged. "It doesn't matter." She looked at him mistrustfully. What made him different than the others? What made him care? Even she wouldn't pick herself. Whatever...his mistake...

Sagepelt looked over his shoulder at her and smiled, looking at his paws for a moment and then back to his trail.
