'No one is actually dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away'

"Tawnyspots! Stay with us, we need you!" the she-cat was stooped over the tom, her silver fur blending in with the moonlight. They lie in a small den, filled with brambles and moss for comfort. It already smelled like death even though he was inches away. The smell was disgusting and smelt like rotting prey. Her blue eye were wide and her coat smelled of fear. The tom had harsh breaths as he struggled. His fur was lighter then the she-cats, his tabby coat made him handsome but his age showed which took away his current handsomeness. His eyes closed as he lay on is side, his pale brown stomach showing underneath. A tom who was twice the size of the dying tom took a step closer to the she-cat. His fluffy ginger tail lifted to the she-cats shoulder. His yellow eyes held sympathy.

"He will always be with us, I think it is his time to go. Featherwhisker?" said the ginger tom as he peered over at a pale grey tom who had the same long fur. Featherwhisker looked over at the red berries he had collected. The color of blood. Deathberries. A speckled young tortoiseshell she-cat nudged the berries over to Featherwhisker, her eyes round with sympathy. Featherwhisker hesitated. His feathery whiskers twitched with unease. He had never killed a cat to put them out of there misery. His bright amber-yellow eye looked up at the silver she-cat.

"Are you sure you are fine with this Willowpelt?" He asked. Her blue eyes scanned the body as he wheezed and suffered. She closed her eyes in pain. Her body shivered as she got up from hanging over his body. Her eyes swiftly locked with Featherwhiskers amber eyes. They shook but held determination behind the coldness.

"Take away his suffering." her eyes scanned the grey tabby toms body. Her ice cold eyes turned warm as she stopped shivering and brush the tabby tom with her tail tip. "May we meet again Tawnyspots, in StarClan." she touched her pink nose against Tawnyspots pale brown stomach. Featherwhisker shivered alongside the she-cat. He had never had to do this. His mentor had never told him this way of killing. He knew he had to be strong for his apprentice but the death of a warrior is a death of a kin.

"He was a loyal warrior, he always boasted about battle and wanted everyone to try their best" the bright ginger tom placed his tail on Featherwhisker's grey back. "He will find his way into StarClan with no troubles. All we can do now is give him this berry" Anger surged through Featherwhisker as his amber eyes grew with a snarling fierce. He looked into the ginger toms eyes with fury.

"How can you say that! He congratulated us on our ceremonies! Sunstar, he was your deputy for StarClan's sake! If I was a warrior I would die a warriors death then a berry death. We should not kill our warriors with this berry! We are warriors not kittypets!" He breathed heavily as he started getting his thoughts straightened out. Recollections of Tawnyspots started coming back to him. His brothers eyes stared at the ground. The young she-cat took a step back while Willowpelt did not falter her gaze. She looked up at Featherwhisker with kind eyes. She was always the most kind cat in the clan.

"Tawnyspots, grunt if you want to die like a real warrior!" Willowpelts voice shook as she said those words aloud. Tawnyspots shifted as he let out a grunt without hesitation. His eyes opened to a bright yellow. His eyes landed on Willowpelt, they were filled with love. Not only for Willowpelt but for his clan. He then shifted to look at Featherwhisker. He nodded with determination. He then collapsed with heaving breaths.

"We shall leave him be, he will be gone by morning." Sunstar padded past Featherwhisker. He felt a cool aura coming from his brother and it did not feel right. They were in Sunstars den and it was moonhigh. As they exited the den they could see cats gathered. Tawnyspots whimpering must have woke them up. Featherwhisker looked at the ground while walking out, not wanting to catch any cats eyes.

"You did well." whispered a passing speckled grey tom. Featherwhisker nodded. He had learned from a good mentor, no matter what anyone had said. A tail touched Featherwhisker's back. He looked up to see Sunstar behind him. The speckled grey tom padded away with his ears perked.

"Let's talk." he meowed as he waved his tail for Featherwhisker to follow him out of camp. The tom rubbed his face with his small paw. He then followed his brother out of the ravine of the camp. The brothers never became warrior apprentices together so they did not explore the ravine together like most other apprentices. He lead him to a sandy hollow, where they trained their apprentices.

"I am sorry for that incident." Sunstars voice was quiet. He looked in the direction of the camp with a sad gaze. Featherwhisker did not reply as he looked at the ground. Sunstar looked back to his brother.

"Thistleclaw mentioned how he had overheard it over at a gathering, how it 'ended their suffering'." Sunstars gaze flicked to the stars above them. The moon was not yet full but close. Featherwhisker looked at him and sighed. He knew it was not his brothers fault.

"It was the heat of the moment, I am sorry Featherwhisker." Sunstar continued as his sad eyes looked over at Featherwhisker. Featherwhisker nodded.

"The real problem right now is not Tawnyspots, he will always be deputy in our hearts." Featherwhisker replied as he followed his leaders gaze to the sky. He sighed as he continued, "The real problem is if you picked the right cat for deputy" Featherwhisker replied as he connected his leaders gaze.

Thistleclaw will you lead our clan into victory or death?
