Dandypaw felt himself being taken far away from his body. It was as if he was dead but he could still feel the achingness of his fall from the tree. He felt the strange she-cat Russetpaw standing over him and felt her pain too. He suddenly woke up and saw the invisible Tigerstar, too Russetpaw, and attacked him. He felt him tearing at his flesh and felt his energy decline. He bit down hard on the tom's ear, but Tigerstar threw him off and made Dandypaw go spirling across the clearing with a thud into a tree.

Russetpaw suddenly saw a transparent tabby shape of the evil tom. The long white fangs sunk in to Dandypaw and he was thrown across, hitting a tree on the other side of the clearing. "No!" she yowled, leaping at Tigerstar. She suddenly saw shapes. Dandypaw's body on the ground at her paws and a transparent, shining Dandypaw recovering from the throw. She saw Tigerstar's shape and Hawkfrost's shadow beside him. "NO!" she yowled again and threw herself at Tigerstar. Her claws sunk in to his shoulder but the large tabby tom wheeled around and she was sent flying towards Hawkfrost's shape. Before she realized what was going on she hit water and started choking and drowning on the little air she had. Wheeling around, Russetpaw saw the dark brown shape of Tigerstar's son falling limp to the lake floor. She stared after it in shock. Hawkfrost made no move to struggle for air and take breath of the fresh breeze. His body heaved and she saw it fade in bits of clear water. Hawkfrost was gone. Suddenly, a shimmering tortoiseshell shape grabbed her scruff and pulled her ashore. Russetpaw recognized Spottedleaf, an ancient ThunderClan medicine cat. "Russetpaw, you have done well. You saved Dandypaw's life and destroyed Hawkfrost's physical body. Now, he cannot roam anywhere but the Place of No Stars where he, Brokenstar, and Tigerstar before him are suffering." she meowed before turning and padding away. Russetpaw stared after her, collapsing unconscious on the wet sand.

Dandypaw recovered awhile after he hit the tree. He felt his heart beating and the aches in his sides and knew that he was still alive. He looked around wondering where Russetpaw was so he followed her scent to the beach. Midnightstar lay beside her licking her fur and hesaw a ghostly she-cat laying at Russetpaw's side. She smiled at him before disappearing so he padded over. "Is she alright?" he asked Midnighstar.

Russetpaw came to a few minutes later. "Dandypaw?" she groaned, looking at the handsome tom. She shook her russet colored pelt and went to stand up, collapsing again.

"Stay still Russetpaw," he teased all of his memory's back.

Russetpaw's eyes brightened. He was getting his memory back! "I'm so glad that your memories are coming back!" she meowed weakly but excitedly. Her heart fell when she remembered her promise. "I guess you want to be Fizzlepaw's mate, now, don't you?" she meowed.

He thought for a moment before meowing," I don't know." He paused. "I'm not sure if I'm ready for a mate yet anyway." Then his eyes brightened. "But I'm still your bestfriend."

Russetpaw weakly smiled. "That's good." Secretly, she was still worried. She slowly frowned, sadly. She still knew that he would rather be Fizzlepaw's mate. The ginger she-cat shook the thought off. "I'm glad we're still friends." she meowed, smiling again.

He laughed weekly then turned to Midnightstar. "Would you like to know what happened? Or should we return to camp?" In truth he didn't want to leave island yet. There were some unfinished mysteries that he wanted to find out.

Russetpaw closed her eyes and laid her head down, resting it on her paws.

Before Midnightstar could reply Danypaw felt a terrible sensation prickling in his paws. He ran past her and into the island, hearing something calling his name.

Redpaw raced towards the scene, eager to see if Russetpaw was ok. The mouse brained tom Dandypaw didn't deserve her as a friend! "I'll rip him to shreds when I see him." he hissed quietly.

Dandypaw stopped abruptly and his memories deserted him again leaving him with little knowledge. He should have known what was going to happen. He walked around in circles rying to remember where he was. When he heard a twig snapp behind him he turned around and saw a reddish brown tom.

Redpaw stood glaring at him. He crouched down in a threatening hunter's crouch. "You broke Russetpaw's spirit and her heart. You don't deserve her!" he leaped at Dandypaw. with unsheathed claws.

"Who?" he asked before engaging in the fight. His claw unsheathed he tore at Redpaw's fur and bit his ear, dwelling up blood. "Who are you?!" he yowled when they stopped for a breaf moment.
