He barely stopped to rest, and hunted only twice a day while he ignored his stomach that was killing him a thousand times over.

But as he traveled alone--or so he thought... A certain familiar ball-bodied fluffy thing seemed to roll along behind Winterpaw-- he recalled how this all happened. Once on a journey with his Clanmates, then winding up here. The quick danger that changed his life overall:

''Winterpaw pads behind the others, growling at the coldness in the air. They were still moving, but no one had spoken much yet. The sky was beyond dark, and what seemed like Fat mouseloads of black clouds rolled in, and rain was already hitting harder by the second.

Up ahead, Jetclaw was meowing something, but Winterpaw wasn't listening.

Which he should have been.

A loud crack and deafening scream he's filled the air, and a humongous brown shape leaned sideways. A tree had been hit by lightning, the storm had hit its full potential now.

The rain whips Winterpaw and the others in the face. Everyone is yelling, and Jetclaw leads the others ahead.

"Go go go go go go."

And then the tree falls. It looks like it's going slow, and like its heavy, but it goes tumbling down right at the cats who scream and jump to get out of its path.

All of the other get on the front of it, confused on the path and running ahead into the sharp rain.

But Winterpaw is trapped behind the massive branches.

Out of complete, wild fear, he yowls and runs off to the right, not caring of the branches raking his pelt. Leaves cover him and dust flies up with the rain in a huge mess, and Winterpaw just keeps running and leaping and shuffling.

He didn't know when he stopped, but when he did, the storm wasn't as bad where he turned up. He tried to go back, to get to his friends and clan,ages and....family, but his first real mistake was made.

Instead of left, he turned right again.

And then he traveled for so long in the complete opposite direction.''

As Winterpaw kept moving, he winced at how awful the events turned out.

And how in the end, everything that had happened to him the last few days/moons, had all been because of him.

Because he made one wrong decision.
