Story: 

Sparrowface had a good life, had a mate and she had a son of whom she adored, however she had heard whispers of her two brothers. 

Some of which rumoured that her elder brother, Cinderfang, was the object of Greyflower's affection, although the she-cat was already in a relationship. Sparrowface's other brother, of whom she was closest to, Larksnow, had joined Mireclan by request of Mireclan's leader, Briarstar, in order to prevent war. 

One day, a patrol was sent out to Mireclan's borders, and a fight broke out. When the patrol returned, Fennelpounce was not with them. Sparrowface had waited, and when her mate returned, she faintly scented blood on him. She questioned him on his whereabouts, but he tried to change the subject. 

That night, Sparrowface heard Fennelpounce leave their den once again, and she followed him. What she found was a shoddy grave with her brother, Larksnow, inside. 

She stalked Fennelpounce back to their den and attacked him from behind. Pinning him down, she had  demanded to know why he was burying her brother. Fennelpounce gave in and told her he had killed Larksnow at the skirmish, and to avoid banishment he had hidden Larksnow's body. Enraged, Sparrowface ripped his throat out, but unbeknownst to her, her kit was awake, and in a blind rage leaped onto his mother and ripped part of her face off.

Cedarkit was in shock and passed out shortly after. In the morning, his mother was above him, grooming him. When questioned what had happened the previous night, his mother said that a rogue had snuck into camp to kidnap him, and his father was slain and Sparrowface's eye ripped out. 

The lie continued for years until Sparrowface was old and frail, and on her deathbed, her son visited her, and she told him the truth, everything. She had passed shortly after, with her son left to pick up the pieces.
