Still Breathing

by Nightsky of Mixedclan

When Oakpaw dies his soul doesn't go to Starclan, but instead lingers in a sort of limbo. Greypaw has always been able to see things others couldn't. While Birchleaf knows more than she should about the death of her former deputy. At Oakpaw's death these three cats lives began intertwining, permanently. Rated T because Warriors.

Prologue

Oakpaw looked up in fear hearing the rumbling of the monster as it came upon him.

"Oakpaw run!" screeched Flowerheart, Oakpaw's mentor. Oakpaw started to run but he wasn't fast enough and quick as lightning pain rushed through his body and he collapsed to the thunder path. Dead.

"No!" Flowerheart wailed. Throwing her head back and yowling to the sky.

"He was my first apprentice!" She felt her sister Birchleaf pad up behind her, and rest her tail on her back.

"A sad death dear sister to die so young and to a monster, do not worry it's not your fault," Flowerheart knew her sister was wrong but she said nothing.

Birchleaf looked at Oakpaw's dead body slipping her eyesight into StarClan's territory expecting to see a ethereal cat come to take Oakpaw's body away but nothing happened all she saw was Oakpaw's spirit rise out of hos body look around in a confused manner and slowly walk of. She stared after him wondering why no other cat had come. But she knew expressing her concerns would make sister upset so said nothing and merely picked up Oakpaw's body and began to drag it back to camp.
