The Clearing
Brightpaw awoke in a lush green clearing. "Where am I?" She thought. She heard a rustle and looked to see Swiftpaw walking towards her. She jumped. "Am-am I in S-starclan? Am I d-dead?" She managed to choke out. Swiftpaw shook his head. "No." he replied. "Not yet anyway."
Brightpaw glared at him, and then suddenly, the proper realization struck her. "Swiftpaw! I'm sorry. I-I'm sorry I couldn't get to you in time! This is all my fault! If only I-" she was cut off by Swiftpaw. "Would you calm down? Your nearly a warrior and your completely falling apart!" His tone softened . "It's not your fault, anyway. It was my stupid idea to go after the dogs. What chances did we have against them."
He began walking out of the clearing, and beckoned for Brightpaw to follow.

They walked until they came across the sunrocks. Ahead of them, was a dirty lump of fur. Through the grime, she could just make out some white and ginger. "That's me," she squeaked out "I'm dying."
Swiftpaw looked at her. "You'll be fine. They've sent out a search party looking for you." He turned his head away. "Become a warrior. For both of us." He said in a broken voice. With that, he faded away, and her vision spiraled into darkness.

"Brightpaw," A muffled voice whispered. " Brightpaw, please wake up." She caught a scent of another cat. "Cloudtail!" She thought.
She drank in his smell. With much effort, she opened her eyes, and in front of her she saw Cloudtail. "Brightpaw!" She saw Cloudtail's relieved face.
Bluestar and Fireheart were talking in the background. "I see Lostface has woken up." She said.
"Wh-what? Lostface?" With difficulty, Brightpaw turned her throbbing head to cloudtail. "Cloudtail? What are they talking about? Who's Lostface?" She croaked. Cloudtail shifted on his paws in uncomfortably. "Well, er, you see, we thought you were dying. Bluestar gave you your warrior name. Your called Lostface now." He said awkwardly. Lostface stifled a yelp. "What? No! It-it can't be!"
Just then, yellowfang padded up to her. "You need to rest, take these." She pawed over a poppy seed. Lostface licked it up off the stone. She started to feel drowsy, and eventually drifted off into sleep.
