Lionclaw came over.

Stormwind awoke and shook his head. " Branchstar? Wolfheart? Whats going on?"

Lionclaw sighed with releif. "Your alright Stormwind!" He gasped.

" I was not alright?" Stormwind asked Lionclaw in surpirse.

Lionclaw shook his head. "You had amesa." He sighed.

" Wow.." Stormwind pondered the thought. " Anything happen while I had amnesa?" Stormwind asked curiously.

Lionclaw nodded. "You forgot your name,where you were, and asked who Branchstar was." He said.

Stormwind shook his head.. " Wow." He repeated.

Branchstar walked around and stepped on a large thorn. He gasped in pain and his paw started bleeding horridly.

Lionclaw heard a gasp. "Branchstar?" He murmered, seeing him. He gasped and looked at the leaders paw. "I-I'll see what I can do!" He said and carefully trying pulled the thorn out.

Branchstar gasped as the thorn loosened a bit. The bleeding worsened.

Lionclaw pulled it out and saw some cobwebs. He pawed at them until they fell into his paw. Lionclaw dabbed them on Branchstars foot and watched the bleeding slowley stop.

Branchstar's breathing slowed, but was normal again. She sighed as the thorn popped out and the bleeding slowed.

Lionclaw sighed.

Branchstar layed on his side, he breathed slowly. " How will we cope, everything is crashing, going wrong.." Branchstar said sadly.
~~~
Wolfheart sighed in unison with Lionclaw. He hated this, just hated it. It wasn't fair, things were going wrong..

Lionclaw sighed. "All because of-" He stopped, the name seeemed to be a bad word. "You know." He growled.

" Not all because of her, just bad luck, and Mellowheart." Branchstar said, not having a problem saying her name. He needed to talk to Lionclaw, tell him whart StarClan had told him.

Lionclaw shrugged. "I just hate that name." He sighed. He was down. "Robinheart is very mourn, Hazelkit died last night." He mourned.

Branchstar turned to Lionclaw. " I'm so sorry, Lionclaw." Branchstar said, shaking his head in sadness. " Come into my den, I need to talk to you." Branchstar said, low and urgent, he padded into his den, limping.

Lionclaw shallowed and followed Branchstar. "If it's bad news, I don't want to hear it." He muttered.

Branchstar didn't hear him as he was in his little nest, moss all snug. " The," Branchstar started, " The night Mellowheart attacked, I had a dream.. StarClan came to me.." Branchstar seemed like he couldn't continue.

Lionclaw perked up. "Yes?" He urged.

Branchstar's eyes were somber, " They said that is almost my time to join the ranks of StarClan." Branchstar said hollowly.

LIonclaw fell back. "W-What?!!?!?" He gulped. "I-I can't become leader yet! I don't know.." He trailed off.

Branchstar's eyes were troubled. " I don't know when, or how.." Branchstar murmured.

Lionclaw nodded. "I think soon.." He mumbled. "Jointclan....is not starting very well." He sighed.
