The vigil has passed and you felt exhausted. Your paws ached and your eyes were sore.
Pebbleshade had gone with Blazewing to the warriors den to rest. You decided to follow.

Once you entered the den, you saw how huge it was. About ten moss beds were scattered everywhere.
"I guess we can't make one big nest." Pebbleshade said. Blazewing nuzzled her and said,
"You can sleep next to me."
She purred and nodded.
You rolled your eyes at the two and started searching for an empty nest.
This one has Pebblesteps scent on it. Oh this free!
You spot an empty nest in the back of the den. You curl up and drift into sleep.

"May I take this nest?" You heard a voice say. You recognize the voice as Nettlestrike.
"Sure." You respond.
Nettlestrike lays down on the moss next next to you. As he fell asleep you heard him purr loudly.
That's gonna be hard to sleep with.

Instead of sleeping you stretch and head to the fish kill pile. Blazewing and Pebbleshade were purring together and eating a small salmon. They were talking and laughing. As you sit down, Torrentpaw came up to you and said,
"Wanna play the game we played as kits?"

"You mean 'whos in love'?"

"Yea!" He exclaimed.

"Well I think Pebbleshade and Blazewing are in love." You respond.

"Or Junipervine and Pebblestep!"  He giggles.

"Maybe Coralflower and Sunstrike -" You stop mid sentence.
Sunstrike was dead. And you kept forgetting. But it was like you could see him sitting with Coralflower.
Coralflower was eating a fish. She was... Sharing it with him. He was there.

"You see him too?" Torrentpaw said.

"How-" You began.

"You and me are gifted cats. We can see the spirits of the dead. I had a vision. A cat came to me and said,
'You and (Y/N) are gifted. Help others remember their loved ones.'"

You gasped.
I have powers!
