Lost Stars/Chapter 13

==Chapter description==
:Shadowpaw and Puddleshine arrive at the Moonpool for a half-moon meeting. The other medicine cats are already sitting beside the pool, and Shadowpaw feels that they all seem suspicious of him. Shadowpaw notices that the Moonpool's surface is now completely covered with blue ice. The medicine cats exchange news and then slowly approach the Moonpool, touching their noses to its icy surface. 
:When Shadowpaw also touches his nose to the Moonpool's surface, nothing happens, and he opens his eyes to see the other medicine cats glancing at each other in dismay. Willowshine declares that something more is going on than just the ice. Alderheart suggests that it might be time to tell the Clan leaders that StarClan is not contacting them. He acknowledges that Jayfeather might be right that they had done something that angered StarClan and caused their ancestors to turn away from them. The other medicine cats seem shocked at Alderheart's words, but Jayfeather rolls his eyes and says it took Alderheart long enough to come to that conclusion. Alderheart worries that their connection to StarClan might be lost forever. Shadowpaw feels a twinge in his chest, which turns into a tingling sensation that spreads through his body. He feels that there is some sort of presence trying to get through. When he voices this thought to the other medicine cats, they are dismissive. Jayfeather adds that Shadowpaw's visions are nothing like the sort of visions that medicine cats normally have and that it is suspicious that only ShadowClan's medicine cat is getting visions. Puddleshine, however, defends his apprentice.
:The medicine cats continue to argue with each other, but Shadowpaw finds it hard to follow as pressure starts to build in his head. Eventually, the pressure becomes unbearable, and Shadowpaw tilts his head up to look at the sky, which is starless. However, when he closes his eyes, a series of visions flash through his mind as a voice whispers to Shadowpaw that the Clans have forgotten the code, and that because of the codebreakers, the Clans must suffer. He sees the faces of a series of cats: Twigbranch, Lionblaze, Crowfeather, Squirrelflight, Mothwing, Tree, Jayfeather, and finally Dovewing. Shadowpaw is shocked to see his mother's face and thinks that she cannot possibly be one of the codebreakers.
:Puddleshine's voice interrupts Shadowpaw's thoughts, and he asks his apprentice if he is paying attention. Shadowpaw pretends that nothing happened, afraid to announce his vision to the other medicine cats. However, they are suspicious of him anyway, with Fidgetflake pointing out that he was looking up at the sky as if he knows something the others do not. The medicine cats agree not to tell their Clan leaders about the loss of their connection with StarClan, not wanting to spread panic. Kestrelflight asserts that things will go back to normal when the ice melts and that they will be able reestablish their connection with StarClan. None of the other cats want to argue with this idea, so the meeting ends in uneasy silence.
:When Puddleshine and Shadowpaw reach the ShadowClan camp, Shadowpaw decides to go speak with Tigerstar. He wakes his father and tells him about the vision he had at the Moonpool, mentioning that Dovewing was one of the cats named as a codebreaker. Tigerstar appears stunned, and Shadowpaw asks his father if it is true that Dovewing is a codebreaker. The ShadowClan leader responds that in a way, he and Dovewing are both codebreakers since they became mates despite being from different Clans. He adds that he does not believe all codebreakers are evil, as some cats have good reasons for breaking the warrior code. Tigerstar orders Shadowpaw not to share his vision with Puddleshine or any other cat, wanting to protect Dovewing. Shadowpaw agrees, but as he returns to his den, he feels the heaviness return to his chest and feels that something bad is about to happen.
