Chapter Two:Morningflower
(Morningflower's POV)
We were injoying the day today but we were also a little frightened incase Tiger Clan showed up.My son, Gorsepaw, was to become a Warrior at moonhigh tonight.I knew that he was very excited but he was also a bit shy of going to be in a new den with the Warriors.He was pacing in front of the entrance to the camp,waiting for his mentor Onewhisker.I padded over to Gorsepaw and flicked me tail to him."Don't worry to much."I meowed."When I was about to become a Warrior I had done the same thing.And then my came up to me and said that if kept doing that then my fur would fall off."He stopped and laught.
"So are you telling my I'm going to lose ALL of my fur."He meowed in laughter.
I laughed to and gave him a lick in between the ears.Onewhisker came out of Tallstar's den probabbly talking about mentoring one of Ashfoot's kits when they were ready to become apprentices.He meowed a 'hi' to me and then disappeared through the entrance with Gorsepaw followed close behind.I smiled and then went to the Nursery to see Ashfoot and her only kitnamed Crowkit.He had blue eyes like his mother and his fur was a mixture of black and gray like both of his parents.He was headstrong like his father, Deadfoot.I talked to Ashfoot for awhile before going back out to get something from the fresh kill pile.I grabbed a rabbit and decided to give to Gorsepaw when he became a Warrior.
The ceremony had come soon but something went wrong.Tiger Clan had come to ask us once again to join them.Tallstar had refused.Tigerstar motioned for his Clan to make a big enough circle around him so we could all see what he was doing.All of us except for Gorsepaw.Gorsepaw bravely hissed at him then launched, claws outstreached.But he was to fast.Tigerstar pinned Gorsepaw to the ground and meowed,"This is what happens to those who refuse me,Tallstar.And one by one it will happen."And then he...he usheathed his claws and ripped open Gorsepaw's throat.I wailed in grief for my dead son, just when Thunder Clan had burst into the clearing.Quickly Tigerstar ordered his Clan back to their own camp.The last thing of Tiger Clan that I saw was Tigerstar glaring a death glare at Fireheart and know I had despertaly wanted to ask Fireheart to come with me and then kill Tigerstar.But I knew it was hopeless.
Fireheart came up to me from talking with Onewhisker."Morningflower, I'm sorry for what happened to Gorsepaw.If Thunder Clan would have gotten here sooner than he would still be alive."He bowed his head to me and I meowed "It's alright.It is not your fault."And I left to sit in a silent vigil at Gorsepaw's body.
A/N:I'm soo sorry if this sounds like the chapter for Apprentenceship by Brackenmask.Deadfoot is probably not Crowfeathers father but he was just like him in a way.
