Jaypaw got back just as the sun down patrol came back. "Hi Jaypaw!" Brindlefrost greeted, from the front of her three cat patrol, which consisted of her Flowerdust and Ashwing.

"Hi." He dipped his head a bit. He paused when he noticed Flowerdust, "Flowerdust, shouldn't you retire to the nursery?" He addressed her cautiously.

"Jaypaw! H-how did you know?" Flowerdust yelped in surprise, and Timberfall came to them.

"What's going on?"

"Well, I was planning to go to Mistypool again for the kits-"

"Did Jaypaw tell you that you should stay in the nursery too?" He guessed, "That's what I've been trying to get her to do, thanks Jaypaw. You see Flowerdust, even a blind cat can see you need to be in the nursery. Come on let's go." He whisked her away to the nursery.

"Timberfall!" She gasped in surprise when he mentioned Jaypaw's blindness, "Apologize!" She ordered.

Jaypaw flicked his tail, it really didn't bother him, "It's the truth isn't it?" He dipped his head respectfully to warriors, and padded away.

He paused, when he noticed Larksong his mother, she passed him quickly, without any words at all. She seemed anxious, and what was that... guilt? "Larksong." He called to her.

"Oh Jaypaw, hello." Nervousness ebbed off her in waves.

"What's wrong?" He approached her, and sat down.

"Did you eat already?" She asked, nervously grooming herself.

"Yeah, you?"

"How's Hollypaw? I haven't seen her in a while."

Why is she talking like this? She was usually always so calm and collected. "Fine." He decided he'd just probe her thoughts, it couldn't hurt. He focused on her. She blames herself. He thought, 'Why would my blindness be her fault?' He searched, and finally he was sucked into one of her memories.

Larksong was in a different place, Jaypaw could see him and his sister, and another small lump of golden fur. She was looking at a cat with fear in her eyes. "What do we do?" She mewed worriedly, "They'll know they're yours! None of them look a thing like Voletooth!"

"It's fine." He soothed, and Jaypaw's blood ran cold, it looked exactly like an older version of him, he smelled of herbs and cave, Jaypaw realized they were in a sort of dome like rock, I guess this is the famed Thunderclan that started us clans. "Lionblaze will give him to Cinderheart, she just had her kits too." He indicated towards the yellow one. "The other two could be pawned as yours and Voletooth's."

Sadness leaked off of both of them. 'Wait, if this is Thunderclan, and this tom is the medicine cat... Jayfeather, and these are his kits... Jayfeather is our father. That's the littermate we never knew...' He searched the tiny scruff that Jayfeather, his dad, was carrying away. 'Why don't they-... Oh, he's a medicine cat, and they're not allowed to have mates, devoted to Starclan. Yuck!'

He stood and left Larksong, he didn't need to talk to her anymore, he had all the information he needed, she was a liar, Voletooth wasn't their father, and they had a brother. Speak of the Dark Forest, here comes Hollypaw, he could smell her before she even entered camp. She seemed extremely happy, and another scent, Foxwhisker too. He was even more elated than Hollypaw. She padded to Jaypaw slowly.

"Jaypaw?" She started hesitantly, "I... I'm sorry I said that. It's really not my choice. If that's what you want to do, I'll back you to the best of my abilities. She meowed, hope filling her as she inspected him.

"It's fine. How was your time with Foxwhisker?" He asked harmlessly.

"Eh?" She gaped, embarrassment flooding around her, "What are you talking about?"

"Never mind, it appears you had fun." He shrugged, he didn't understand her embarrassment, and he didn't have time to investigate. He started to the apprentice den to go to sleep.
