Chapter 1
Yellow Fang
The smoke tunneled through the entrance to my den. "Fire!" I wheezed. "Starclan save me!". I could hear cats shriek in terror outside.
A burning tree fell in front of my only escape. "Yellowfang" Spottedleaf's soft voice called beside me. "It's time".
"No! not now, not in this fire!" I pleaded. "Yellowfang, do not worry you have served your clan well" Spottedleaf's voice began to fade.
"Please I don't want to die yet!" I called to her. She was already gone. I heaved up against the
roof of the medicine den.
A light poured in, I was going to make it! Sparks covered the hole I made. "Yellowfang, don't make this
difficult" Raggedstar's voice sighed.
"Raggedstar!" I gasped. He leaned over me. "Im here waiting for you" he whispered to me.
"Yet you have to decide me or life".
"Raggedstar" I choked in disbelieving. He turned, I wanted to call out to him. To ask him how our two daughters were doing.
He vanished soon after I decided what I was going to do.
He knew what I was going to do, he agreed to it himself. I was going to have to live a little longer though.
"Yellowfang!" Fireheart screeched through the smoke. The young tom's flame colored pelt blended well with the flames of the fire.
"Oh Fireheart" I sighed.
He would be heartbroken I knew. "Yellowfang!" his desperate cries rang again.
"Im waiting" Raggedstar replied impatiently. I looked him in the eyes, "OK".
"Fireheart!" I called my voice was becoming scratchy.
He burst through the medicine den entrance. "Yellowfang?" he asked his eyes were red from the smoke.
"Im here" I whispered.
He sat beside me for awhile. We were talking, talking about old times, when I mended Cinderpaw's leg.
When me and him first met, about Brokenstar being my son.
Finally I was aware of myself drifting into an eternal slumber, until I got to Starclan that was.
I was unaware of Fireheart's desperate cries.
Unaware of my body being carried to sunning rocks, unaware of my death vigil, unaware of a single yellow tulip, growing in my medicine den.
