Mosspaw crawled into camp, Willow had taken her back over the mountains, to her home territory. She had only just now started think about all of the possibilities.

What they would do to her now that she was green? Would they accept her? Throw her out?... Kill her?

Wrenwing spotted her first and nearly yowled " Mosspaw!" She ran over, licking the frightened apprentice. Fawnstar's head snapped up " She lives?!?"

One by one the cats surrounding Mosspaw, no one had said anything. Suddenly Nightmist backed away, telling others to do the same.        " She needs space." She said quickly and dragged Mosspaw into her den.

" Why are you green?" She demanded in a whisper. " I-I mean.." She trailed off her eyes staring at her intently " I mean, why is your head green? Cats don't turn green!"

Mosspaw looked frightened " A spirit of the Forest s-saved me," she blinked nervously " Did I do something wrong..?"

Nightmist paused her eyes growing thoughtful for a small while " No, but you should not talk about such nonsense." she turned and stalked away. " Spirit of the Forest" she muttered shaking her head in disappointment and disgust.

Over the next few moons, her clanmates talked to her less and less, until only her mentor talked to her when giving orders. Her green fur was more of a problem then she had ever imagined it would be, it was worse than being instantly thrown out, for she could have gotten over her clanmates faster and not felt so different. Mosspaw felt like a failure and strange, these cats who once welcomed her like family, thought no better of her than a wolf or a fox. She would often find herself longing to find Willow again. Maybe she wouldn't feel so lonely then? Never less the day came, Mosspaw was voted out of the clan, it was like she could sense the relief washing over the other cats. Her strange markings were scaring kits and worrying the Warriors until they decided that it would be best if she were gone. Fawnstar gave her a warrior name, for Mossleaf requested one. If she were to revive a name, she would be gone before morning. Never to return.
