Robinpaw stared after her brother, hurt and confused. Why can't he remember? Why was Dawnfeather so upset? suddenly a voice broke into her thoughts, "Hey Robinpaw! Want to go over the borders?" Stoneclaw mewed playfully. Not really, but I don't have a choice, do I? "Okay." She sighed, unenthusiastically. "What's wrong, you're usually full of energy!" Said Stoneclaw concerned.
