Rainpaw padded inside and looked at the fresh-kill pile. It wasn't exactly tiny, but it wasn't brimming either. She sighed and took a small sparrow, moving over to one side of the cave to eat it. What was going on? And where was their home? What happened to LeafClan, and her family? She asked herself these questions as she tore into the sparrow, devouring it in a few famished gulps. She didn't know that running could make one so tired.

Shadowpaw followed Lilypaw. "I just hope we can figure everything out. I'm having a hard enough time trying to walk since I got so big so fast," he stated, stepping over a rock. He bowed his head, turning inward to his own thoughts. His first thought made plenty of sense to him- "I want to go home. To the LeafClan I'm used to... to the annoying stuff that I would have taken a few mouse-tails to abandon before this..." He jumped back to reality right when he ran head-first into a tree. "Fox-dung! Ow, my head," he shouted. Blood trickled down his forehead a little, and ran slightly down the side of his nose.
OOC: Hollywood Undead, anyone? lol.

Dustpaw stifled a laugh when Shadowpaw ran in to a tree. He glanced up ahead to Lilypaw and smiled. "Alright, i think this might work." He snikered a bit more before he got ahold of himself. "Lilyp- I mean Lilyspirit," he had to get used to using her name. "Dont worry to much, I watched your father and our old leader plenty. I think i can remember a few things about leading." With a sigh he trotted faster. He caught up to her and glanced ahead. "I think we need to figure out who is who though." A made a frown, "It will make the other suspicous unfortunantly."
Shadowpaw shook the pain away and trotted to catch up with the others. He caught up quickly, but slowed down just a bit, still passing them. He wanted to get the medicine cat to look at his head. "Well, I just ran into a tree. I could play dumb and pretend I forgot everyone. How's that sound?" He thought it was a genius idea. And it was a good opportunity to make Dustpaw feel dumb for not thinking of it. He mentally grinned to himself.

Dustpaw looked at Shadowpaw with a suprised glance. "That is a very good idea," He stated. The two didnt sem to get along quite that well but that didnt mean Dustpaw couldnt admire a good plan. "Dont be to sucpicous though." He knew that Shadowpaw would be able to handle this with no problem, wether or not Dustpaw stated the obvious concerns. HE glanced ahead and saw that they were near the waterfall now. The crashing waters grew louder as they approached the lakeside.
"I know," Shadowpaw began to fake a slight stumble, but it looked perfectly genuine as if he'd actually lost his memory. He looked like he was struggling to get through to the cave, and he made it in, then perfectly faked his way around the cave, as if looking for something. "You okay, Shadowstorm," one cat asked. "Uh.. who're you?" "I'm Frosteyes, remember? What happened?" "I just remember wakin' up with blood on my head. I think I ran into somethin'. My head hurts real bad," he said, knowing that he'd never talk like that in his right mind. "Follow me..." Frosteyes helped Shadowpaw to the medicine cat. "Hey, Glimmerleaf, can you help Shadowstorm? He hit his head." "Yeah. You may leave."
IC: I made up Frosteyes and Glimmerleaf cuz I didn't know what to put. T_T

Dustpaw watched as Shadowpaw made a completely convincing act. He grinned a bit to himself. "Duststar!" called a voice. "What happened to Shadowstorm? Is he alright?" The tabby and white tom turnd around to see a slim gray she cat trotting toward him. "Uh... We found him outside near a tree. It seemed like he had run in to it. I dont know if it was on purpose though..." Dustpaw made up the quick lie. The she cat's amber eyes lit up with worry. "He is going to be okay isnt her?" "I dont know. As far as i can tell he has lost his memory. He didnt recognize me Lilyspirit or Earthstream." Dustpaw sighed harshly.
IC: Shadowpaw sat there and looked at the herbs that Glimmerleaf had told him to eat. He licked them up, hoping that they wouldn't do anything odd to him since he didnt really need them. Waiting while Glimmerleaf pressed a small bit of cobweb to his forehead, he looked around, trying to seem as if the other cats were completely new to him. "Who are those cats, Glimmerleaf?" "They're your Clanmates and friends. Frosteyes was the one who brought you in here. Of course, I'm Glimmerleaf. The white and tabby cat, the strong one over there, is our leader, Duststar. The she-cat he's talking to, the grey one, that's Skystep. The two cats near the fresh-kill pile are Windsong and Hazelcloud. And that cat sitting on the sunbathing rocks outside is our only elder, Honeypelt. She's nice, and she can make a pretty tune of her purrs and mews. But don't make her mad," she added. "There are a couple of kits in the nursery. Birdkit and Rosekit. Their mother is Cherry. She's the only cat here without a warrior name. She actually refused it," the medicine cat explained. "And there's also Lilyspirit, Earthstream, Blackpaw, Thunderpaw, and Rainheart... I think they're out of camp, but you'll know who they are. Except Blackpaw. He has white fur."
"That's odd."
"Not really. Not once you're used to it."
"So... There's Frosteyes, Glimmerleaf, Duststar, Skystep, Windsong, Hazelcloud, Honeypelt, Birdkit, Rosekit, Cherry, Lilyspirit, Earthstream, Blackpaw, Thunderpaw, and Rainheart," he said their names in the exact order, even noting to speak his friends names even though he was fine. "That it? I think I got it. Thank you, Glimmerleaf."
"Take it easy. Get dizzy and youll stay in here for a moon," she called after him as he walked out, still giving a tiny bit of an awkward step.
"Uh- huh. Duststar wouldnt be happy with that."
"Mouse-brain!!!"

Rainpaw was still inside the cave, washing herself, when the tom on sentry padded inside. He spoke to another cat, and that cat padded outside with a nervous flick of their tail. The tom saw her, picked up a mouse on his way, and padded over to her. "Hey Dustclaw!" a cat called from the other side of the cave. The tom padding over to Rainpaw pricked his ears and waved his tail in greeting, but padded over to Rainpaw anyway. Thank StarClan I know his name now. "Hello Dustclaw," Rainpaw mewed as he neared. "Hi Rainheart," he murmured, his eyes still dodging from side to side.

Shadowpaw snickered to himself as he padded to Duststar. "Got the names," he muttered quietly. He flicked his tail as his stomach rumbled. "But food is first, for me," he said, trotting quickly to the fresh-kill pile. He picked up a plump squirrel and gulped down the first bit of it, then slowed to a steady bite-and-chew pace.
